Well, theoretically, the new release is coming out soon, and since it'll be a save compat break, I think we should hold off on creating any new fortresses until then.

Besides, we need to turn Abbeyverse into a DF version of Gormenghast, which means it needs more random forgotten structures.

[Maggarg - Eater of chicke]

Abbeyverse is a fairly large and normal fortress built around the biggest, most horrible mess in dwarfdom.

[Kazindir]

Oh right - I was under the impression the next release wasn't expected until christmas at the earliest, from what I've read of Toady's posts in the various megathreads.

So who is next? Assuming Maggarg's will to play is still hiding in a closet sobbing about the lag and his crash.

[Keldor]

Heliman's next - I PMed him about it last night, so we'll give him a few days to respond.

My will to play overdosed on Valium and is now comatose.

[Heliman]

Hey, sorry bout missin it, I'll get started right away

EDIT: gave it a series of complicated tasks to do, that mixed with the current things in the construction que should = a year's worth of work.
I will get flavor text & pics soon, but I'm having trouble with screenshots

[Kazindir]

Nice

Even though time might seem to pass slowly there, a hell of a lot can be done all the same. I'm sure the dwarves of Kulettogum build stuff an awful lot faster than they do in any of my own games!

[Keldor]

That is why the King Consort had the exercise gym built - they'll move faster if they're all superdwarvenly agile...

For screenshots, run in windowed mode and run Accessories->Snipping Tool.  Works like a charm ;-)

[Heliman]

No dice, that's a vista only applet. I have XP

(Many could easily admit that Tsiru the dwarf is insane, including tsiru himself. Then again, Tsiru could just as easily admit he's a unicarp.)

1st of granite:
HEE...
Mr. king man said I could govern this place if I would shut up, I'm SO HAPPY. This place is just so pretty! I know! we'll make it prettier! Let's start by making more of these majestic waterwheels! power to the people!


Lets see what els we can mess with improve,
Oh just look at this dining hall! such a mess, let's make it better


Gasp! what are these poor dwarves doing all this pumping for? It's so unpretty this won't do! I turned them off.


what else do we have here for our regiment?
Look at this pretty bridge! It's so pretty it's unpretty. we should paint it RED.


That's all for today! I 'm gonna make the other entrence prettier for all our wonderfully squishy green friends too when we're done with this!

EDIT:(I found out why there was so few idle, the stuff outside leftover from goblin Christmas was creating a huge work que buildup, I forbade all of it, next year's mayor may want to pick the stuff up again if thay have the time.)

Journal of Ustuth Elbellogem, King Consort:

4th Granite, 1070:

Oh, but this is a travesty!  That filthy peasant- Tsisue? - has had the nerve to shut down my exercise gym!  What would my sweet tootsie say?  She'd have him skinned alive and his skin made into a new matress, that's what she'd do!  Oh, that I didn't swoon at the sight of blood, that I could do my sweet tootsie's memory proud and have that no good hick drawn and quartered!

Alas that I allowed him even a whiff of authority, oh, that my sweet tootsie were here to set things aright!  But, oh weal and woe, she is not, and I must find a way to fix this issue myself.

Oh, whatever shall I do?!

*Ustuth Elbellogem, King Consort, is throwing a tantrum*

((Are those weapon traps you're covering the bridge with?  XD))

[Heliman]

Yes, they are weapon traps.

[Maggarg - Eater of chicke]

Diary o' maggarg.
Huh. Damn yewf makin' traps on the bridge. No good'll come o' it!
He's makin' more water-wheel thingmabobs, which means more bluddy mechanics. Ach, and probably more minin' fer me. Why, if I were two hundred year younger I'd give this young fella a hidin' !

[Heliman]

(the following is an excerpt from Tsiru, Dwarf)
15th, Granite
Elves came. I took their beasties things and tolem to go byebye. I'm going to give them to my new friend later. I hope he likes it, maybe it'll keep the roaches away.


26th Granite
A pretty little kobold came to our castle. It was pretty shy and ran the moment one of my farmers started chasing him. That, or he was chasing the farmer. They were sort of fleeing parallel to one and other.



6th Felsite
The dining room is finally pretty! Dwarves flock to see the wall to wall engravings on it.

[Heliman]

(The following are excerpts from the diary of Asob Tostoslan, Mechanic.)

14th of Granite
Tsiru came up to me in the barracks today, he kept asked me what I thought about giant roaches, when I said "no" he exclaimed "CATS!" and ran out of the room.

15th of Granite
I fear for my life. I woke up in my bed at the barracks to find a caged Lion at the foot of my bed. Is Tsiru trying to kill me in my sleep?

7th of Felsite
It's been a whole month since I wrote here, Tsiru has us working around the clock on hideous weapon traps to "keep the trees out and make stuff red."
That's not what I'm really afraid of though, the dining hall, ever since it was finished, has been the hub of dwarven activity. Men, women, and children consider it their home away from home. But ever since the Dining hall was completed he has been ordering us to put several pumps hooked up to the main power supply over it.
What sort of horrifying water based destruction is he planning to do?
