Want to join me?
Turn length is a year, turn deadline is four days after you get your turn.
You can also request dwarves if you want.

Notes:
Unless this post says otherwise, you can, and are encouraged to claim dwarves.
If you've already had a turn, or have been skipped, you may request your name be added to the end of the turn list.
If we run out of people before the fortress is done, I will take the save and continue until someone else is added to the list.
If you can't complete your turn, just upload the save and I'll finish it.

ill join in. Can you say fortress made of solid ice?

I will also demand my dwarf:
Name: Sythun
Profession: either hammerdwarf/shield skill or a miner
Personality: Likes to break things and curses a lot. He likes Steel and raw Plump Helmets if able,
Logged
Aren't Rhesus Macaques actually whales?
They're actually a special ore. Instead of being mined, they're hunted from between the trees and instead of producing metal, they produce food: rhesus pieces.

I'll join too.

Edit: I have no particular dwarf preference, but I claim one later if that's alright.

It's not a real glacier fortress unless you have a multi-layer aquifier and no forest :-p

Unfortunatly not, I was trying to find a haunted mountain so I could have some adamantine, and spawned two other maps but no luck, maybe next time.
Plus I've got enough to worry about with the whole haunted thing.

EDIT:
Also, magma would make it easier, and we wouldn't want that now would we?

If there's any chance of farming, I guess I'll claim a brewer, preferably one who likes cats.  And for a name... either Rossbob or Barbanthropus.  Or Greta Silkybeard, if it's a woman.

I'll sign up if only for the fact that theres some pretty good story to be had with frozen hell for a dwarf.


Why not make it harder s till and just go to say you cant dig? >.> <.< Itd be like survivalist succession :P (Can only use trees and build above ground structures) Lolol.

I'm not really sure I can take away points from a skill but I'll see what I can do.
