Welcome to WoodenStockade!

It's the fifteenth of granite. Months ago, the ruler of The Hatchet of Maws (whose name has slipped your mind) has sent you on a "simple" mission. "Construct an outpost", he (or was it she?) said. "One where all willing expedition leaders would go to hone their skills, where they would rule the outpost for a year, or die trying."
"Death sentence, more like." you thought.
Welcome to Woodenstockade.

The theme of this succession game is that all players must have NO KNOWLEDGE of a certain system of Dwarf Fortress (Example: Not knowing how to farm) OR have never done a certain objective (Example: Never killed a megabeast). This rule will be dropped after the 5th year ends, and this game will be played in v42.06.

Spoiler: Rules (click to show/hide)

-No save scumming. Live with your actions.
-No external tools like DFhack, unless it is used for better graphics.
-You have 1 in game year or 1 IRL week to finish your turn. IRL time limits are based on EST.
-The only exploit allowed is quantum stockpiling.
-Feel free to name dwarves as you please, except for anyone dorfed. They must keep somewhat near their original dorfing name.
-To sign up, put in your signup post what you do not know about dwarf fortress.
-No editing the raws.
-No blatantly sabotaging the fortress. You can't destroy the well for laughs, but you can make an unmarked lever that cave-ins urist mcnoble.
-Overseers are free to dorf themselves at the end of their turn.
-writeups are preferred to be 2 seasons per, but this is not required.

Can dfhack be used for graphics? twbt plugin

Go for it, but that's all.

[Gwolfski]

Turn please. Preferrably not first

[bigjaredmonkey]

Bump, will start when we have four players (Including myself) in line

[Sanctume]

I have not successfully done magma piston. 
I attempted a few times, but got distracted and did something else. 
So I have not witnessed sweet magma teleport up the surface via piston.
edit: sign me up!

[bigjaredmonkey]

If we don't get another player by tomorrow, I'll start with just three signed up (including me.)

[TheBiggerFish]

Hummm.

I'll PTW this.

[Immortal-D]

I love seeing new-player Fortresses, always a treat   I really hope this gets off the ground; you might even consider posting on Reddit.  I would like to be Dorf'd as the Militia Commander, that seems like it will be more hilarious than usual in this kind of Fort.

[bigjaredmonkey]

I'm going to start my turn now, Expect to see my turn finish sometime during this weekend.

[bigjaredmonkey]

BEGIN!... starting with spring.

Spoiler: Fortress building! (click to show/hide)

Alright, so here we are, the "Brave" seven that came to Woodenstockade.

Armok help them.

I designate an entry hall, where it can be partially walled off and filled with traps for later in the construction, as well as a meeting room to get the dwarves inside.


Oh, lovely.


The meeting area finished and the dwarves inside, I begin mining out a stockpile, a separate food stockpile, and a workshop area. A quantum stockpile for stone is also here, being the only exploit allowed. Not like I consider it an exploit, though.


As the digging finishes for the previous designations, I work out a design for forty beds for forty (Or more!) dwarves.


You know, this sorta succession game first turn thing doesn't seem too hard. None of the giant roaches seem to be wanting to eat from the thirty barrels that somehow fits in the wagon, and there isn't a first season werebeast. This seems to be doing pretty good! Oh, and I got some workshops set up. Go forth Urist McCarpenter, and build beds for everyone!



Not much to talk about for a while, it's now summer. I'll continue my turn later, but for now here's a screenshot of the fortress so far.

[Chevaleresse]

Hm. I've never pierced an aquifer or built a pumpstack, does that count?

[bigjaredmonkey]

Hm. I've never pierced an aquifer or built a pumpstack, does that count?

Yep, that counts.

[TheError]

I've never struck magma, an aquifer, or any FUN beyond elk birds and gorlaks.
A turn.

[bigjaredmonkey]

And on to summer!

For the entirety of Hematite my dwarves decided to move stuff into the main stockpile instead of everyone doing their own jobs, but at least i have a truly american set of gems.



However, a giant eagle is flying around, and I don't like the look it's giving my dwarves (as much as a brown uppercase E can give, anyway)


At least it's not a herd of giant elephants.

The miners finally got back to doing their jobs, and finished digging out the living quarters, and just in time.


Wait, why are there a ton of red icons on the minimap near my fortress?



SHIT.
Alas poor Avuz McMason, we hardly knew ye...


For some bizzare reason, the wolverine man leading the group got enraged, charged at the pastured starting grazers, then immediately ran off. I can only think of this as the wolverine man giving Avuz the finger and running off. At least I still have a mason.

Meanwhile, with the migrants, it turns out it was a grand total of TWO. MIGRANTS. Oh well, haven't exported anything to the caravan yet, which should come soon, given it's late summer.

I checked on the farmer later, turns out that their only skill was adequate in herbalist. Seeing that as useless, I decided to draft them as a mechanic to complete my master plan.

Oh, and the wolverine men pissed off after they decided they had enough fun tormenting the yak cow.


Autumn's here, tune in next time for another exciting adventure of ME, as first overseer of woodenstockade!

After-season thoughts (Read only after reading the season)

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Personally, i'm suprised those four wolverine men didn't start killing something, given that one of them randomly became enraged. !!fun!! was avoided somehow, for now at least. I still don't like that giant eagle, though.
