Yep, take a turn, the challenge is interesting ^^ And not impossible lol.

For the sentence, here the exact sentence in French: "La vie est un rêve et tous le monde se réveille" In fact, you could just scrap the last part ^^ Probably the syntax problem come from here. But I could have write that: "La vie est un rêve et touts le monde s'en réveille" That can be translate by: "awake of it". So I don't see the problem but I'm not English I have to say. At least, DF is useful ^^ I'm learning my English lol.

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

Awake cannot be carried over onto objects, it is a state of the subject. Example: labreck is awake

The word your probably looking for is aware. labreck is aware OF object.

Hope I'm making sense.

It's one of those syntax things that can be hard to explain, but is very important.

Yeah, I see, and I understand, in French we have so much stupid syntax rule. The exception make the rule we say. I don't want to say aware, because it's: "conscient" (fr). wake up seem to be better, even if awake can mean: "se réveiller" (fr). If you can't write it so, the English form will be: wake up.

Well since you want to use awake, it's "awake to" rather than "awake of". We're all happy to help where we can, when you want it.

If you let me have a rediculously destructive turn to mix things up, and use it, this will probably pick up momentum, becuase a completely flawless fortress is just boring.

Why not, I'll give it a try.

I think it'd be better to just throw him in a pit.
By pit I mean "ledge designated as pit some 30 levels above the ground water magma" and that would,as they say be the end of that.
Unless a sword/axedwarf gets to 'em.. then it's rhesus pieces...

QuakeIV: The fortress is actually submerging in magma, less the diner hall (and the reserve), the chamber, etc. So you can try to fix it out :)
Teferi: Always happy to see fresh blood.

I have worked on succession Forts before (on another Forum) but they've always died from lacked of interest. Tomorrow will be a bad day for me to work on it though

Whenever is good for either quakeIV or teferi, just make sure you don't play at the same time. Also I don't think you guys realize that the fortress is in the process of BEING FLOODED WITH MAGMA!! So yeah, shonus I think you should totally change the title to reflect that fact.

Bah, that will be a great challenge for anyone. So it's not lack of interest here the problem, but not enough people :) Like Demonic say...
