I've done a whole pile of nothing so far - spent most of that time figuring out what was what - and I've got to go to sleep. I'm working most of tomorrow, but I might be able to do some things on the weekend. Just take the previous save. Make something horrible wonderful.

Also, I don't think he was referring to you, Shonus. LordSlowpoke is a real person - as far as we know. Could be a robot. Or a witch.

[The Architect]

I didn't even read the thread, but considering the epicness of the previous Sparkgears I can say only one thing.
23'th is mine. And for the love of Armok, try and not leave me with smoking ruins and one dwarf. Make it regular ruins, two dwarfs, and some booze.

Easy mix-up, I suppose.

[Lord Shonus]

sorry, DS. I just drowned my laptop and I'm a little testy.

[LordSlowpoke]

Okay, I'm back on. I've grabbed the save already, will start playing in a few minutes.

[Demonic Spoon]

Right, and yeah lord shonus I was referring to the actual lordslowpoke, not you.

[LordSlowpoke]

Armok help me. I barely found where the windmills are, have no idea where are the levers nor to what they're linked, and my dwarfs started digging without picks at all. In the meantime some dwarfs are making a floating bridge, while seven others have no job or a possible way of getting one.
Did I mention that I have no idea what the hell is going on at all?

[Demonic Spoon]

It's not really all that complicated, just pause the game and follow all the hallways and see where they lead and work everything out.

The points of interest might help you out.

P.S. Also, wait a sec, wait did derek upload a map if he didn't give us a save?

[LordSlowpoke]

There seems to be a few major problems with the lava furnaces. One of them, which is in multiple amounts, means that they don't have lava. I'll move them further into it.
Also, I'm not even trying to drain lava, my work is focused on making a bridge to the second mountain and making a sky fort.

[Demonic Spoon]

Well I think the previous guy obsidianzied all the magma under the forges so yeah that may be a problem.

[derekiv]

Sorry about the map. I uploaded the map, was zipping the save, then my computer died.

For fun: See if you can find the death-trap.

[Demonic Spoon]

Ah right. How's it coming lordslowpoke?

[sir labreck]

Hey, why it's write: Magma flood in progress, Blame the Spoon, it's my fault! I deserve the credit for my dumb error

[LordSlowpoke]

Well, sorry guys, I'm gonna have to ask you to skip me. Yet, I shall brag in how many ways I got the fortress killed in the past 23 hours:
One death trap,
Two tantrum spirals,
Three lava floods,
Four berserk champions,
Five megabeast strikes,
Six Skytower collapses,
Seven beetlesplosions (why in the love of everything that's insane we have so many giant beetles and larvas, that's beyond me)
And finally,
Eight aquifer floods.
I tried to die in such a perfect way I could do a "on the first day of Christmas..." in here, but ran out of time. All I ask for is somebody names the legendary engraver after me, I'll post the save if you guys really want that.

EDIT: I also managed to make a mechanism involving 12 hanging windmills, fire imp corpses in a cage and huge amounts of other stuff. I don't even remember for what it was, but one of the berserking champions destroyed 11 gear assemblies in a row, the rest is history.

I like giant beetles okay. I did butcher some of the excess males though.

[sir labreck]

Giant beetles are cool :p
