Gimme a beedwarf named Cephlathorax, I'll do you proud (or die pointlessly but hilariously).
Also, the mayor should be female, have a large chamber bedroom office all to herself and have no labours assigned from the start.

I must that I heartily approve of the zaniness of this concept! Could I get a beedwarf named Apis, job, solder.  Dwarf bees aren't actually new, this is just a new spin on it, they're called Apis florea and they're smaller, reddish versions of your usual western variety.

In b4 pic's or it never happened \/

Perhaps a rival to the soon to be great dwarfbee civilization?

Ok, I'm curious.

Give me a warrior named NazushLokum (BloodSpear in dwarven).

Interesting. I haven't been able to stay interested in this forum lately, but this one sounds kooky enough.

Going to be a pretty short fortress, given you guys nearly all picked male soldier types ;) You, uh, might want some female worker dwees. And yes, you have to call them dwees. DWEEES

 Dwees sounds a lot cuter than what I would image the unholy merge of a dwarf and a bee to be.

I've already started building the hive and everything :3
I only took two males along, and they're both taken. Anyone who didn't specifically request a male got a female, by the way. Anyone who didn't request a specific name got their screenname used. And I used only the first word of the ones with multiple-word screennames.

I'll post the log later today.

Alright, I can't play much more, so I'll just post what I've done so far. Most people have their dwees, but Mephanestras and MercDraco are still in the beeline. The queen is still free.

My next project is making a massive, multi-cell second-story dining room.

Feel free to suggest suggestions.





Time Slæt. Year first.

Has shelter. Has rest. Has food. Need food-add. But not yet.

Build more. Build *portals*. Then dig food-add for purplefood.



Time Fellsit. Year first.

Has more building. Has more *portals*. But not enough yet. Will dig food-add soon.



Time Haematee. Year first.

Has food-add. Will add roof to way to food-add. Will feast.

Need *single* rests. Build more. Build build build. Re-emergence.

Sock gone. Shoe gone. Is lost. Taken. KOBOLDS. Will guard more later. One sock irrelevant. One shoe irrelevant. Other things more relevant. Relevant things stolen is also relevant.



Time Malachotre. Year first.

Bone useful. Bone break down. Protect bone. Dig *bonepile*.

Progress too slow. Need more workers. Not coherent enough. Need more minds. Many minds *Come-Back-From-Insanity*. Adopt odd designations. Has no sense. Confusion. Is irrelevant.



Time Galayn. Year first.

Has *single* rests. Build bigger shelter. more. Build build build. Need more workspace. Need more *feedingroom*.

Tree has red-beginning. Whitewater and Stonewater coming possibility?

I'm happy to wait. :)

Oh, and I love the hive-mind's speech. Reminds me of the Orz from Start Control 2.
