Oh, a quick note:

The door connected to the resevoir which has a tunnel leading to our staircase poses a flooding risk and I don't see its purpose.

...

I move that a wall be added to wall off the reservoir from our staircase, unless it serves some purpose I'm not aware of. This can easily be done by adding the wall flush with the door that already exists, and keeping the door locked, which it, I pray to the gods, already is. That way no Dwarves will wall themselves into the tunnel.

I used a door in case of future situations where we might need to access the reservoir easily. The door is certainly locked, as the other to the east is, and neither are pet passable. As far as I'm aware, a locked door will never be opened, thus I figured it safe. If there is some danger, then certainly, I second this motion.

Hmmm...

I suggest the horses then. Easier to control. More meat.

[Emmanovi]

I thought I should make this clear, for anyone reading the thread: There are currently four free dwarves in the fort, which may be taken by anyone who wishes to join in our little democracy.

Would anyone like to take the fort in Winter, incidentally? I'm not sure this matter has been raised. I figure it ought to be.

In terms of fortress matters, it's less of a goal for this season, but in the future, once our tower is built and possibly a second level of wall added on, I should like to have a guard rotation at the main gate, to keep an eye out for thieves and suchlike. It might also be an idea to chain an animal, most probably a war dog, at the entrance, to catch any intruders. I motion this.

"I will trust our resident hunner on matters o' livestock." Grail said, looking around the smooth Meeting Hall. "And therefore, I will support the creation of an animal pen or pit, and oppose cat breedin'. I will conversely support the breedin' o' larger livestock such as cattle. I can change my movement ter reflect only enough picks fer those Dwarves who can take 'em, as well. Just keep in mind that we'll 'ave more immigrants e'ry season."

[LegoLord]

I vote aye for chaining a war dog at the entrance.

[Goron]

- Wall to be added in front of reservoir door, seconded.
--Support: Grail, Legon, Org, Emmanovi

Goron votes aye

- Outer walls and moat to be finished, seconded.
-- Support: Grail, Legon, Org, Emmanovi

Goon votes aye

- Entrance and drawbridge to be built in the south wall, seconded.
-- Support: Grail, Emmanovi

Goron holds for a bit, need to look at map again. The more drawbridges/entrances, the more chance for a mistake, in my opinion.

- Construction of water wheel in brook, seconded.
-- Support: Grail, Legon, Org, Emmanovi

goron votes aye

- Creation of two level tower, seconded.
-- Support: Grail, Emmanovi

Goron votes aye

- Creation of as many picks as there are dwarves able to use them, seconded
-- Support: Grail, Emmanovi

Goron votes aye...

- Breeding of cats, moved.
-- Support: Org
-- Against: Legon, Emmanovi, Grail

Goron votes nay

- Creation of pen, seconded.
-- Support: Emmanovi, Grail

Goron holds, Ill try to decide soon tho.

- Breeding of livestock such as horses, seconded.
-- Support: Emmanovi, Org, Grail

Goron votes aye

- Chaining of war dog at all of the drawbridge entrances in the walls, seconded.
-- Support: Emmanovi, Legon

goron most def votes AYE

yes to the chained dogs, but they have to be 2 tiles away from the end of bridge

(Fig 14.1)

Grail sat in the dining room, her knife in a brutal reverse grip, being stabbed into the cold plump helmet mushrooms of her dinner. Legs crossed and on the table, her grimy mining boots spoiling the place where all the Dwarves ate, she rested her wax board across her thighs and thoughtfully etched in additions to her plans as she ate.

They were grandiose, of course, complete with a costly ramp to go over the gearshaft, but it was the first to scale diagram of possible improvements to their topside fortifications. She had included wiggle room to allow the well to be dismantled and set up below, or to allow it to remain, since it had been a subject of such debate the season before.

She lanced another plump helmet and closed her teeth onto the blade, scraping the steak-like mushroom off of the dirty implement. That would be enough for today. She threw her legs off the side of the table to the ground, got up, and walked off, leaving the eye spawn of the mushroom behind, along with the mud and dust of her shoes.

Key please.

I would like to join with a dwarf named Yaddy who is hopefully a Mason secondly a miner or thirdly a carpenter.

One of the migrants was a mason, I'm sure you could have her. The original thoughts seemed to be a first-come, first-served basis, so I think I'll take this as an opportunity to welcome you to Equalvoice. =]

(Yeah, your request shouldn't be a problem. Welcome to Equalvoice. There probably isn't a reason why you can't cast your votes for the issues up at hand right away.)

[Yaddy1]

What are the issues at hand?

edit: never mind I read the page. I vote for the finishing of walls/moat against the breeding of cats and animals for the chaining of war dogs for the construction of a waterwheel and am indifferent to the rest.

[Emmanovi]

What are the issues at hand?

There is an updated list towards the end of page 13 of this thread.

However, there are still 2 and a half hours left in which to propose new motions.

[Yaddy1]

Cool. Where can I see the fortress?
