I was thinking more we get up to 100, and then it's finished and we remove scaffolding and stuff... and sooner or later we get bored so we just make the whole thing go splat.

And try and rebuild from just 7 dwarves!

[Graebeard]

I would really like to take another turn some time to wrap up the ribbon and remove the scaffolding, but I'm super slammed right now and don't have time for a turn.

[Sizik]

I was thinking, once we finish building up to the top, we can start to build downward, digging out the ground around the tower as we go.

Edit: I think you uploaded the wrong save, dhokarena.

[FearfulJesuit]

Well, then just savescum- I don't have it now.

[Sizik]

So who wants to take the next turn?

[billybobfred]

*poke*

[Darvi]

Eh, lemme try again. But this time without failing at saving.

[Sizik]

*cough*

[Darvi]

Oh wait I got accepted?

Since nobody responded I assumed this just kinda died...

Aaaaanyways I already have a fort right now, so that would be a little problematic.

[Graebeard]

KK

Darvi's out.  That means there's room.  An opportunity.  A chance.

But for whom?

You, Mr. Thursday night on the couch.  You, Mr. pass me another cold one.  You, Mr. McLurksBeard the Passive.  You.

That's right.  Pull your beard out of your purse and man up to Skyscrapes.  Because it's time.  Because you're worth a damn, that's why.

[billybobfred]

I can take another turn, if nobody else wants one.

[billybobfred]

Weeks later, I realize that expecting someone to jump in and say "i will take a turn before you" is not the same thing as that actually happening.

I'm currently playing a turn in a different fort, but once that's done, I'll continue this fort.

Unless someone else wants to jump in...

[Conan]

I might give this a shot. But I'll have to finish my other queued forts first.

EDIT: On a second though, after looking at that 3D rendition, I won't. Armok damn that architecture is epic.

[Graebeard]

OK, against my better judgement I've decided to mess around on this during my study breaks.  Mostly I'm just building the ribbon and pump stacks, and cleaning things up a bit.  billybobfred, let me know if you're ready to go before I get something up and I'll just pass you the work I've done.

On another note, this place is ridiculous.  All the building and rebuilding really does give this place the feeling of being old and having developed organically.  The notes people have left are pretty hilarious.  "BLOOD FOR THE BLOOD GOD.  MAGMA FOR THE MAGMA ROOM."

[Graebeard]

Yo Dawg.

I heard you like towers.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

We've got so many glass blocks, I figured we had to do something like this eventually.

I put some towers in your tower so you can build while you build.

In other news, the ribbon is up to level 88.  I'm trying to decide how far to keep it going.  I could take it all the way to z=100 for maximum height and rotation, or I could leave it off at level 90 so that we can top this monstrosity with something pointy and outrageous.  Any thoughts?

Also, we've something of a Forgotten beast problem.  I can't for the life of me figure out how the buggers keep getting in, but they keep managing somehow.  Right now most of the underground is sealed off, but some FB's have access to the magma stack and could potentially knock the bottom half down.  I'm playing around with a few ideas for dealing with this, but any advice is welcome.
