First off, you check DFMA a bit too often.  I just uploaded that like 15 minutes ago.

Also, we have 18 floors to build up that way.  If we get over 18 floors up (we only reached 19 players last game), then we can start going down and dig out a tower.

You have no idea how true that sentiment is >_>; I don't think there's a map that's been posted since November that I haven't looked at.

And sounds good; I was just checking. Level five shall be the mightiest of all! Ohoho.

First off, we are running out of drink.  If it comes between death from thirst and breaking the "only one floor per person" rules, I will allow you to explore the lower floors for the cave river.  Please start your search below the community floor.  In fact, I might allow everyone to just do whatever they want underground so that we can continue getting building material and setting up pumps or whatever.  Post with your judgments.

Spoiler: Yearly Report (click to show/hide)

1st Granite
Arrived on site.  Crazy cold, and no farmable areas except for 7 floors down.   We are going to dig out a place to live in this madness.

6th Granite
All of our animals have frozen to death.  That was fast.

8th Granite
ZOMBIE GOASTS LEAVE THIS PLACE!  Miner was drafted to fight off hooved menace.

9th Granite
A number of the workers appear to be suffering from massive frostbite of the head.  Establishing a safe place indoors for them to stay.

10th Granite
Moved all valuables inside, even if more extreme measures needed to be taken.


9th Felsite
While I realize how goddamn cold it is out there, it is also imperative that we start getting some food and fast.  It appears to be too cold for the local fauna, and most of it appears most unappetizing.  I am building a set of walls and a ceiling on the farmable area so that the farmers don't freeze their fucking faces off.

5th Hematite
Work on the farms is going slowly, due to low amounts of construction supplies and workers that decide to sleep in -25 degree weather.

Fucking morons.

18th Hematite
After a few false starts, we finally have a real farm going.

3rd Galena
Holy shit, this mountain is packed with gems!  Even though I know it will eventually be my frozen tomb, I still take pride in the fact that I can have a jewel encrusted coffin.

22nd Galena
We're running out of indoor space on one side, so I'm sending a team to go dig me an office on the other mountain spire.

13th Limestone
The mountainhomes informed me that a trade caravan would simply not be possible, but all the same. . .

Guess we should build that trade depot before they all freeze to death.

18th Limestone

Well, too late.  At least we got some free stuff.

20th Limestone
OH SHIT!

THE CHEESE IS FREEZING!  SAVE THE GODDAMN CHEESE!

28th Sandstone

What?

22nd Timber
Fucking Zombie goats are getting in the way of our supply route.  I handed one of the new migrants an axe and told him to get choppin'

Goddammit.  I'm sending more workers to go help him.  I think we had a fish cleaner to waste.

4th Obsidian
Food supplies are getting low.  I assigned our most experienced fighter to go hunt the local fauna.  It appears that the cold has weakened them somewhat, but our soldier isn't doing much better.  A few days of hunting appears to be causing moderate facial injuries.

Japa, you're up.

[Demonic Spoon]

Hee, this is hilarious . Does it get any warmer in the summer? Also, how are the dwarves going to build in this icy weather?

[crash2455]

They can stay outside for a while.  When they run back inside to grab stone, it seems to work out.  Just build a roof over anything you make.

[Orb]

Wow, just wow. I fear for what will happen on my turn....

Also, for digging and such, it really depends how hard you want it to be. I believe we should atleast be able to dig where we want.......along with mechanics(such as pumping up the UG River).

"Edit" What exactly are the rules? I noticed you set up a farm way down there.....from what I gathered, you couldnt do that.

That was the community floor.  Ground zero was his floor, I think.

[CrimsonEon]

Interesting, I wonder what the fortress will look like by my turn, and whether the Zombies manage to roam outside the chasm to terrify dwarves, or die to the cold (if they even can).

[crash2455]

I was getting attacked by Zombie Swallowmen on a regular basis last turn.  It appears that the cold hurts them and can nearly incapacitate them, but they're too resilient to simply die from cold damage (I guess Max Brooks was right).  I did see some random dead zombie Batmen around the fort, but my guess is they were trying to fly there, their wings froze, and they splattered on the rocks below.

[CrimsonEon]

Hah! Not even the undead Dark Knight can last forever in frigid conditions.

Also, it might pay off to try training idle civilian dwarves using Pumps to get their toughness up, to last out in the cold more effectively, I'll definitely want to see if a higher toughness dwarf will last out in the cold longer than a lower one, or perhaps even survive indefinitely (not taking food or water into account).

Ah, I see now. So we cant build on the floor he was building on.

[crash2455]

I've sent Japa another message.  If he doesn't respond in the next day or so, I'll skip him and move onto Orb (or throw DS on since he sorta restarted this)..

[crash2455]

Japa has not responded (nor has he signed in for like two days), so I'm skipping him for now.  He is not out of the rotation, he just plays later.

I have sent a message to both Orb and Demonic Spoon.  Whoever responds first will play next.

[100killer9]

Can I take a turn in this?

[crash2455]

Done.
