I'm in the middle of a system crash, so I can't continue.

That means we've got nobody, right?  I wouldn't mind taking another hand if that's still the case in a few hours.



edit: playing now.  Anyone who wants to play, let me know: I'll be keeping my eye on the thread.

I've been too busy to keep up with my own community fort lately, so unfortunately I can't carry the torch any time soon.  Still watching, though.

Demonic Spoon just beat the mayor to death (he was tantruming because of all his pet beetles that died holding the lines against the last Frost Giant siege).

In other news, the flood the world with magma device is completed:

Also, we've discovered a strange new alloy:

How long does it take lignite/coal blocks to go out? I just buried them, shouldn't be a problem..

Here's the save.  I'll put the other stuff up tomorrow, I promise!

TL;DR version:
-finished the magma device, started proofing the entrances (note that right now the magma defense path will clog up if too much lava gets there and the 'bypass,' while distant from the magma output, is utter vulnerable.  The main fort should be safe)
-fought off one large frost giant siege and lots of xelic/chaos dwarf ambushes, took light casualties
-added fortifications to edges of the outside platform, extended the tower
-I left the door to the trap path locked

If no one is playing tomorrow I might re-grab it and build a nice food set-up like I've been meaning to, but otherwise it's open.

There's nobody scheduled for the next turn, so it goes to nil, who seems to wan tit.

also, where the hell did you find enough power to run that massive pump stack? Did you manipulate the aquifer for water wheels?

Can I sign up for the 22nd? :D

I've always wanted to do a succession fortress. Oh, I'm kind of a newbie, so, uh, I hope I don't destroy the fortress.

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

Nope, it's all wind.  I got a bunch of wood from the humans (via trade) and the silver xelics (via them getting killed by invaders).  To go over the top I increased the efficiency of the pump stack (power is mostly transfered pump-to-pump through z-levels) and scoured the map for forbidden wood dropped by long-dead traders.

edit:  Apparently, workshops don't create noise like I always thought they did, which means our current food processing industry is just fine, which means I probably won't play today...  unless I feel inspired to do a megaproject or something later.  Quake, if you're around and wanna start early feel free.
