I will. Soon. gonna read the tabs I have open then I'll do this.

[NUKE9.13]

Ok, so. Archangel is probably not in the process of writing. Anyone else going to post?

[Katsuun]

If no one is, we're going to have to post turns again...

[Archangel]

Sorry, I had to go and I forgot that I'd said I'd do a turn until I wasn't able to do anything about it. I shall write this now.
Again, I apologise.

Work on the docks went well but the warehouse remains untouched. Some miners arrived, 4 dwarves and 4 dwarf trained elves. Nothing else interesting happened.

Hmph. It's better than nothing. I suppose.
As I understand it:
Buildings: Dock. Part of granary/warehouse
Population gain: 1 dwarven family (miners) 1 elven family (miners)
Ok, right.
I would like to have that amended that with the added action that the miners actually do something. Survey the mountain and find a vein of iron, or something.
All in favour say aye, or somesuch.

[Wild Goose]

Aye.

But they won't be able to really start an mining operation until the next turn, or turn after; they were blinded when they struck microcline. 
And it should be slow work, since we've only got a couple miners.

So, who's next?

[EuchreJack]

Guess I'm up...

Spoiler: Month Six (click to show/hide)

On the sixth day of the sixth month, a burning gunboat beaches itself on the shore.  The crew of filfy, slimy creatures swarm out of the gunboat, most attempt to put out the fires, but a sizable band approaches the colony of Bay 12.
Toady and the colonists gather together, prepared to meet the crew...
"This is Bay 12, right?", one of the goblin crewmen asks.
"Who wants to know?", replies Toady.
The crew aim their muskets as Toady.
"We have no time for games...you're either the Bay 12 colony, or you're dead...", the goblin replies.
"We're the Bay 12 colony, how can we help?", Toady meekly relies.
"You'll provide us with food, water, and labor so we can get our vessel seaworthy again...and you won't die...", replies the goblin.
"Affirmative.", Toady replies.
So, for the rest of the month, the laborers, miners and archatect assist with the gunboat, and expand the docks so as to better work on the gunboat.  At the end of the month, the gunboat is ready to leave, but four crewmen are too old to continue.  The goblin approaches Toady, not as a oppressor, but as a friend.
"Me and three of the lads are too old to continue this kind of life, would you mind if we settle here?", asks the goblin.
"What skills do you have?", the always pragmatic Toady asks.
"Well, we've got some skill with brewing alcohol...", suggests the goblin.
"Welcome to Bay 12!", the colonists proclaim in unison.

Barrels of Rum (3)

I didn't mention this explicitly, but I assumed the colonists would build two shacks to house new population, and the pirates left three barrels of rum.

[AussieGuy]

These are really good. Our town is getting big

[NUKE9.13]

Suggestions:
1)Finish the damn warehouse/granary already; it's not that much work
2)Bust a vein (of iron)
3)Dwarven traders (buy native goods/booze, sell high quality tools)
4)Immigrants: Dwarven workers
     4.5)Of which one metalworker (special chappy)
              4.5a)Build a forge
5)Immigrants: human refugees.

Pick and mix. I' take them all and not call it overpowered; assuming we arrived on the first day of the year (a la DF) it is now high summer and people are busy busy busy.

[EuchreJack]

On my turn, the colonists were too busy fixing the gunboat and building the dry dock to work on the warehouse.  But, yeah, that should get done next turn.

Good suggestions, here's what I'd add:

We have goblin brewers, so what we really need are some Elven? farmers so we can get an honest Rum business brewing.

[NUKE9.13]

In 18 hours I am going to start writing next month. As I think this could be good if people would just contribute.
Anyone who reads this: Feel free to write the next month! In fact, if you have not already contributed, I command you to!
DO IT.
DOOO EEET!

[CJ1145]

Damn, this looks fun. I've just started summer break, so I was wondering if this is full or not?

[Wild Goose]

Dude, we're understaffed, and we're all too polite and meek to want to post again so soon.  Join away!

[Katsuun]

Yes, we require bold and brash people to POST MONTHS. To be fair, I'll do the next one once we actually get somebody, so that this can keep moving.
