Oh for the love of Armok, this damn fortress really is cursed!  For the first time months somebody actually tries to play it, and the damn thing up and dies on you.  Who wants to take a whack at it this time?  If nobody else does by Friday, I'll probably give it a shot.

Please, for Armok sake, do so.

[Tack]

Ouch... nice to see you show faith in me and the other... guy. However, I'll accept your reasoning as perfect. Take the next turn!

[Heron TSG]

I am initiating MARTIAL LAW.

Whoever announces they get the turn gets the turn. They post it. Someone else claims it.

IT WILL WORK.

[Outcast Orange]

Ooh! Ooh!
Me next!

I'll take a whack at it.
Expect it done by night.

Edit: Also, I'm using the save back on page 60 if no one objects.
I can't find one more recent.

Edit 2: Okay, at least it's running.
I like how even when I have it paused it can still dip below 90 percent.
This could be fun...

[Outcast Orange]

I think we should change the way things work a little.
How about instead of a full year per turn,
we each just go a season.
Otherwise this is going to take way too long.

Don't worry though.
I'll have plenty to post by tonight.

Sorry about the double post.

Or going by modified SparkGear rules? One year in game or three days irl, whichever comes first?
Also, I wanna whack at the fort too!

[Outcast Orange]

Fine.
At the end of the third day, I will resign.
Also, (and I'm pretty sure somebody has already said this)
DO NOT, for any reason, look up stone under the stock screen.
The game crashed for a full minute before somehow regaining its composure.
Also, by the time it came back up, I had hit the down key a few extra times and was unable to see the stone amounts anyways.

For those of you looking for a sweet visual, look no further:

The Eternal Halls!

Enjoy.

Granite, 117
-------------
1st Granite:

Wow. Just wow.
Somehow I've been put in charge.
Living down in those mines must have gotten to me.
I've probably lost it.


Oh well. If they give me this authority, I might as well make use of it.
So I've changed my name to Orange.
Seems reasonable enough for a mad man.
(Fantasy or not)

I've also ordered them tear down part of the moat-turret-deal.
The perfect place for an unbalanced construction!
The day seem to pass by like mud. Armok help me.

Some guy went strange today.
I feel my best bet is to just let it run it's course.

3nd Granite:
Construction of the tower has started.
Lets see how high 99 olivine will get me in 1 year.

5th Granite:
3 days have passed and all they've done is throw up all over the dang thing.
Bunch of useless, beardless sissy's.

Some guy finished some strange construction.
Nothing but a wooden ring.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Useless lot.

14th Granite: Bunch of elves showed up with nothing.
I've decided to ignore them.

16th Granite: Some elf whined to me about trees.
I just nodded until he stopped talking and left.
I must get back to overseeing the tower!

18th Granite: The whiny hammering bastard wants a bed in his dining room!
Fine, whatever you want. I've demanded an entire squad of beds be constructed.

19th Granite: The elf brought up the trees again.
Will they ever just leave me alone?

28th Granite: I've had a bunch of useless animals ground to bits.
Things seem to have sped up a notch or two. (5 FPS gain)

1st Slate: Oh my god! A whole month has passed!
About time. The tower is getting taller every day.

ze fort... she lives!

[Tack]

Could someone post a more recent save? Or are we just going to continue on from that one?

[nahkh]

Goddang, my tower and gangway look fucking awesome.

[Outcast Orange]

I'll be home form school in a couple of hours.
I should have something posted up around midnight.

Sorry about my lazy way of going about things.
I'm playing the game on a need to know basis.
If it doesn't involve my project, I don't need to know it.

Also, 20 fps makes this game a little boring.
Not enough to bore me, but well, you know...

Laters, I'm off to English Comp.

[Tack]

turn off temp, at least while the megaproject is happening. DAS the stone, or chasm it.

All of these are *reputedly* able to improve your fps.

[Outcast Orange]

Thanks for the tips Tack.
It's running much faster now.

I think I'll be able to complete a year before three days is up.

In an hour, I'll post some more log.

[Tack]

Heheh. And here starts my future as a self proclaim-ed dwarf fortress professional!
Look at me now, oldbeard! I knew I would make it! Kids are just as talented now!

And now i'll go back to being another anonymous not N00b.



Tacken Herzeltoph has been happy lately. He has been promoted lately. He has admired a beautiful *forum*. He has Made A Contribution lately. He has had a successful sparring session recently. Tacken was informed of a bad color choice lately. Tacken was yelled at recently.

[Heron TSG]

*HRK!*

Purple on Grey kills.

Also, this game has survived an entire year with me as a member. (well, almost.)
