Or lack of time... this weekend is Valentine's Day, after all.  Otherwise I'd be taking a turn for realsies and not just saying I will before ditching at the last minute

[Carpman]

Can I get the 23rd? I have never done a succession game before, though I've had quite a few fortresses in my time .

[Lord Shonus]

Just take it whenever.

[Carpman]

I guess I'll take next turn that no one wants. The entire county is under two feet of snow so I'm not going anywhere 

[sir labreck]

Nice, for the snow, you have 2 feet of snow in U.S.A? We, in Québec didn't have, what, 30(1 feet approximatively) centimetres in the last 20 days or so.

Dame nature is really angry ^^

I guess I'll take next turn that no one wants. The entire county is under two feet of snow so I'm not going anywhere 

Here too. If I look out of the window here at my university I see plowing trails as high as a car when it drives down a road. It's over the knee in the divisional island between the "pass this side" signs. Heck, can you imagine 1 million people fighting against another 0,1 feet  of snowcoat falling almost daily? It's 2 feet snow here already. Actually I'm 6 feet tall and when I walked out of home this morning the snow bed next to me reached my waist and the plowing mounds were taller than me, the highest was at the parking lot and that was neccessarily way over 10 feet high and reached the middle of a street light pole... heck. Trucks move snow into the Baltic sea every day and some of the streets downtown are partially blocked by 8-10 feet high mounds of snow in the crossroads from plowing excess snow anywhere before transportation. It's just a chaos!

edit: now, imagine this kind of snow beds in Dwarf Fortress!

[The Architect]

As a kid I always wanted the snow drifts to be tall enough to have entire tunnel networks between the houses so that we could have huge snowball battles fought entirely under the snow.

Unfortunately it doesn't really snow where I live, and I've never been in a snowy area when the high drifts were above 5 feet.

Anyone still playing? If not I guess I could grab the save.

[sir labreck]

I don't think so. Grab it and try to save it ^^

Chapter 1: The search for a pick.



...the...the pain. The horribly excruciating pain! According to the reports of my beetle minions, some idiot had decided to build a bridge across the magma lake, made some sort of mistake and caved in a bit of the bridge making  a hole in the bottom of the lake causing it to flood over into the fortress. If it wasn't for my foresigtedness in building doors everywhere everyone would be dead now. Great, just great. Also the aforementioned idiot somehow got me injured. My memory is a bit hazy on that, probably from all the horrible sensations that's flooding my brain. Nevertheless I must press forth or there will be no one to feed me before long. Also I have this perverted craving for water...I must be really sick.

Our first order of business will be to locate a pick. A pick will be vital to setting up new farms and restarting glass production.
More events as they happen, same journal time, same journal place.

Addendum, according to the omniscient accounting books there are no picks, anywhere. I guess I'll horde all the food then and watch everyone starve.

Sweet, keep it up--I'm still checking this thread daily even if I don't have the time or creative energy to play a turn.

[sir labreck]

Super, no pick? Impressive... Think about skip my save in that case, or we jsut can see how long we can survive with limited water and food supply.

[Heron TSG]

wait for a pick-bearing migrant?

If you still have access to the well you might be able to pour some out with buckets and start a small farm... (can you designate down stairs as a pond?)

[The Architect]

We all know there will be a caravan before anyone starves. Just keep the fort free of sieges.
