So... no comment on the embark. I assume you were intentionally "challenging" us by providing a relatively useless group. Challenge accepted...
Actually, that's my average embark. One to mine, one to build, one to gather wood, one to farm, one to harvest, a brewer/cook, and a marksdwarf.

PS: There are more dangerous things than GCS lurking in the depths, assuming that they work right. (They should, as I didn't mod much on them.)

Also, I've noticed that the microcline doesn't seem to burn anyone in this region. I tested 7 dwarves standing in a microcline deposit for three hours, and none caught. This part of the mod was a failure, but I suppose we could still use it for decoration in smokestacks, dragon snouts, and the like. Alternatively, you could mod it to normal, as there is no point to having a smoking nothing other than for aesthetics.

I'll make a poll.

Very dwarven voting.

Microcline is about to get a whole lot worse it seems...

I'm guessing my turn starts later today, correct? If so, I'll be able to snatch it as soon as I get home.

Burn baby, burn! For the embark, just think we are use to different set, I personally preferred 2 miner, a cutter/carpenter, etc.... Other will find it challenging, me not.

Just don't mess with anything too much, try keeping the fort clean, get note on lever and don't get a bad fps (it's not because you have the best pc in the world that other have also ;))

sir labreck, how you manage to mangle English so much yet still manage to keep your posts comprehensible is beyond me. Well done.

Technically, you still have until 9 PST (5 hours from this post.)

I'll mess with the RAWs a bit until I can get microcline to really burn. Once I do, whoever is playing will just need to edit the microcline section of the matgloss_mineral_stone file to my specifications.

Will be testing for now.

Well, go ahead and skip me, then. I don't have enough time to do much, and I'd really rather do something other then DF right now (I've been playing this fortress for a few hours now).

ABC, I think the turns were originally up wrong, and then Barbarossa fixed em.  I thought my turn was yesterday and yours was today, but yesterday he was saying that was your turn. I stepped up since you didn't show, but I didn't get anything done. I went out to eat with a girl for 4 hours instead of coming home to work on my turn.

I would vote that ABCulater gets a chance, and the turns just move back. But that's only one vote. Everyone would need to agree.

No, my turn was on the 30th and 1st, then it was you, but you couldn't find the save. Today it was abculatter, but he was working on another fort.  He forfeited the end of his turn, and it is now 2 hours away from the turn of the 4th, which is Kyronea.

I had said yesterday was his turn because it sounded like you were giving up by saying the save wasn't viable.

No, he didn't because I didn't make the save noticeable enough, causing him to miss it.

However, your turn officially starts in an hour and a half. Feel free to start now.

Er, okay then. I shalt go ahead and see what I can do. (Which is to say, probably get all our dwarfs killed...)

If you get them killed, it doesn't matter. Reclaim if you need to.

(A lack of death would be preferable though, as not all the dwarves are friends at the moment.)
