Hey Labreck, you should change "chose" in your signature to "choose" in both places.

[Akhier the Dragon hearted]

When is the next spot open? I might be able to have a go at it. Also if you have infinity water you just have to pump it up and out over the magma making the field of burning death into the worlds largest obsidian farm.

[Lord Shonus]

There's no schedule any more. Just grab it as soon as spoon posts a save.

[Akhier the Dragon hearted]

Will do, if I see the save and have time I will grab it after posting so no one ninjas it away from me.

[Demonic Spoon]

I'll be done with the save in a sec, been slacking because I was a bit tired.

Chapter 4: Rebuilding

After the crazy one was evicted from the forge and our hope of survival forged, I began making rapid streams of orders telepathically and via my beetle minions. Soon  new farms were set up, our brethren in the bedroom district were reunited with us, new coffins were placed and bodies were buried, the old stockpiles and the workshop district were mined to and could once again be used and I just generally made stuff better. I even rescued that damned Kuzzles after he kept insistingly sending me telepathic messages via my bet fluffy wambler demanding to be rescued. After a few months of leadership I decided I could rest and recuperate safe in the knowledge that I had saved the fortress.

P.S. Pmed Akhier

Got the save! I will be playing it a little later this afternoon cause collage say I have a class now in HTML.

Edit: I found where the water is, my question is if it is an infinite supply where the 3 wells are or is it limited?

[Lord Shonus]

There a small aquifer.

[Akhier the Dragon hearted]

Okay, sounds like I might have a workable plan to use!

[Akhier the Dragon hearted]

blah, just spent a long run of playing it so here it is. I am the only miner now. There is currently minor water flooding of a couple upper levels but an area of magma has been turned to obsidian so there is a nice place to mine for it. Overall I just rebuilt the pump system some so that I could pump water up to the surface though what I did can be undone with some work and the basic power system can be restored if we ever get more wood.

...what did you do?! Defiler of the the temple of armok!

Though on the up side my wounds aren't red anymore, just yellow now.

Great, thing are back to normal, mind if I find a new way to stupidly destroy the fortress, geh? Just joking ^^ We just need to run until the update (hopefully before March and the reading week(? (Semaine de Lecture)).

Note down Architect, will do it when I'll be less lazy...

Finally, this fort is starting to look like a proper Sparkgear! 

things I like about this fortress:
-The tanner who stubbornly clings to civilian life, despite being a proficient marksdwarf with 11 notable kills.  I say 'stubbornly' because although I personally have put her into the military twice, she is now a legendary tanner with the title of "Civilian."  Her husband and all but two of her children are dead; one of the exceptions was babysnatched, the other is mayor.
-The green glass windows that have been put up to protect the doors that separate the parts of the old fortress that are flooded with magma from the areas still inhabited.   
-The population: 24 happy, well-fed dwarfs living in the ruins of a fortress that housed three times that number.  Three antediluvian rulers survive.
-The huge slab of warm magma on the surface.
-Small, winding tunnels connecting formerly separated parts of the fortress, bypassing corridors flooded with magma.

One thing I don't like is how it claims to be under siege even though there are no hostiles in the unit screen.  What's up with that?

[Akhier the Dragon hearted]

No clue what so ever. Also the lever I built is connected to the gear assembly right next to it, I forgot to "N"ote it.

Hey Labreck, you should change "chose" in your signature to "choose" in both places.

Woot! It's slightly functional, everything is back to normal! Who is the next person to somehow manage to send it all to hell by omitting every single safety measure and neglecting all of the basic necessities of fortress life!? Someone? Anyone? Let's go!

Reading that, it looks way too negative. So I'll just assure you that it's all in good fun, and you (the individual reader) can choose to believe that or not, knowing that I cared enough to include this disclaimer but am unlikely to respond to anyone who fails to see the lighthearted humor.
