(I was kidding, of course)
Well, stuff like that happens. It's shitty but you gotta roll with it.
Don't do that again, though ^^

[Aldaris]

Attempt number two, now with even worse story stuff.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

][Log of Aldaris Kûbukrigòth, Yeller.][
So the boss gave up again, so this time they found the most useful dwarf in the fort to take over the task, and that is, of course, me. The only soapmaker.
First order of business: Get rid of the animals wandering around, get military ordened.
Early winter: -Orks left without us raising even a finger. Victory!
-Earning title: Yelled at woodcutters to cut down any bit of tree that's growing in the ruined overfortress, also yelled at miners and masons to rebuild it.
-Overfort mostly reclaimed, re-installing the low gate mechanisms, turing hill outcrop into fortified catapult and marksdwarf platform.
-Blockmaking coming along steadily, my yelling is paying of.
-Set up marksdwarf training
-PROJECT: CLEAR OUT THE FUCKING POOL. Then turn it into a lovely park.
-A blockmaker went weird, he ran out of his workshop, looked around as if he'd never seen the place before. (Not unlikely, as it was in the overfort.) And ran back into his own shop. Then he started running around and gathering stuff.
-A bunch of goblins showed up near the outside trade depot, shooting down the entrance hole, wounding Vin Diesel. Sending our own marksdwarves to send physical yell at them (Bolts.)
-THE ENTIRE FORT CANCELS BEING INTERRUPTED BY ZOMBIE LIZARDMAN: INTERRUPTED BY ZOMBIE SNAKEMAN.
-Aforementioned blockmaker emerged from his workshop holding an alnite cabinet, claiming to have become a legendary miner. Which he already was. He's also still a novice mason.
-Interrupted by zombie frogman
-Soldiers cancel clear out pool, interrupted by snakeman.
-Cave pool cleared out. Only wildlife remaining: The magma pipe inhabitants and a single zombie giant eagle.
-Opened outer gate to finish trap, let out various idiots in the process, feeling suicidal. Yelled at them to get back inside.
-Fisherdwarf died.
-Lost two marksdwarves. retreating back to the fort. Ambush annihilated.
-MOAR DEFENCES! Catapults! Bunkers! stuff! Rebuild the entrance with a single 3-wide bridge! AND MOAR CATAPULTS! MUST HAVE MORE!
-Sealed of old trade depot exit, all traders must now go through the overfort. Aslo trapped the northern gate.
-sealing of cave pond, adding fluid tunnels, drainage has already been handled by previous supervisor, note to self, yell congratulations if you see him.
-Elves arrived! spring! Okay, now we have to open the gates to let them in, or let them rot outside... I'm leaving that piece of blame for the next superviser.
And let my name be known: ALDARIS THE SOAPMAKER AND YELLER! YELL!

[nahkh]

Hm, how come your guys keep getting interrupted? I thought I sealed the only firing hole. Did you make new ones?

[Aldaris]

I may have unforbidden the wrong door... Anyway, the pool's clear now, although I forgot that it should be a deathtrap and not a park, so I'm closing it up again and rebuilding the entrance trap.

[nahkh]

You know, I was going to suggest that you refill it with water. But then it occurred to me that the magma pipe is right next to the pool. Albeit it's a level lower than the bottom but that's nothing a few pumps can't fix.

[nil]

I think you should stick with plan a--four z levels should make sure anything that falls to the bottom is at least mostly dead and the occational falling, screaming orc or goblin and subsequent gore explosion will give the place a pleasant dwarven (or Sparkgeary) ambiance.

Well, there's that, I've also got an extra planned. The next player will see what I mean. Also, if we get some iron for pumps there can be even more fun. I'm uploading the save and finalizing the story thing now.

[nahkh]

You don't need iron pumps, any metal works just fine. I used a copper pump to fill the exploratory shafts.

[Aldaris]

...
Really?
...
damn
...
Oh, well, here's the save. http://dffd.wimbli.com/file.php?id=1189 Writeup is 2 or 3 posts ago. Whoever is next: HAVE FUN!
Althought the fort is somewhat functional, I did basicaly no actual management, you may want to look into that.

[nahkh]

Uhh, who is that weaver being maimed by goblins?

EDIT: Oh gawd she's friends with everybody
It's a good thing none of our dwarves care about anything anymore.

Wait, she's important? She's been out there for months....

[nahkh]

Well, I guess she isn't that important. The loss of a single dwarf is hardly going to cause a tantrum spiral anymore.

[ArkDelgato]

We should put a ceiling over the entire fort, fill it with magma, and have a single pressureplate hold it up.

Just because.

[nahkh]

Meh. Since the current player seems absent (I PM'd him before his turn began, with no reply),

BONUS ROUND TO THE FIRST RESPONDER

If whatshisname shows up and complains, I'll give him priority though.

[abculatter_2]

AIDs

How long do I have?

Oooooh, man. I can tell this is going to be FUN!

JESUS CHRIST 53 DWARVES.
Okay, that's not a lot, but I've never played a fort past around 20 or 30 or so,

AND NOT A SINGLE ONE OF THESE FUCKERS HAS THE APPRAISAL SKILL.



DAMN IT, ALDARIS!

The butcher has a pet dog...

Nahkh, just out of curiosity how the hell are supposed to get the magma out of the exploration tunnels?


RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA DAMN IT SPARKGEAR.
I SPENT LIKE A MINUTE TRYING TO FIND THE MAGMA FORGES AGAIN THEN FORGOT WHAT I WANTED WITH THEM RAAAAAGH

YOU CALL THIS A REFUSE STOCKPILE?!
IT'S NOT EVEN OUTSIDE!

WHY THE HELL DO WE ONLY HAVE ONE BREWER?!

GAHHHHH A BABY DIED

The liaison went berserk right in the middle of the dining room/meeting area...
I think I'm going to film this.
Bah. He killed a donkey then some wrestlers killed him.

gggaaaaAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH this place is confusing!
Use notes when you make things!


wat

BARRELS. WE NEED MORE BARRELS!!!

A farmhand has given birth.
Whoopdy damn do.

We also need cats.
And guess what the dead elves have?

brb

I have no idea what the hell to do for this hellhole.

There are 5 mason's workshops, all making stone blocks.
Why?

YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY ZOMBIE GIANT EAGLE!

SOMEONE GET THOSE GODDAMN CATS, DAMN IT!

ORC SIEGE YAY
I'd like to just leave the drawbridge lowered, enlist EVERYBODY, and see what happens.

The mayor just mandated an export ban on something.
He was also outside when the orcs came and didn't get inside fast enough.

AH FUCK THIS FORT, LOWER THE DRAWBRIDGE!!
