[Sarvesh Mossbeard]

A new version. A new fortress. Time for something different. A fortress made entirely of clear/green glass. The majority of it will be hidden under the ocean. Its like an aquarium, except its fortress-sized. Once its finished, its beauty will make any elves jealous. I've got plans for such a place, and it'll become a major trade center if I get it my way.
 
But first we need to lay down the foundation. I need to find me 6 good dwarves ready to work day and night to dam the ocean and smelt green glass. I need good dwarves to build walls, doors, beds, chairs, and tables from clear glass. I need a mechanic to help us build magma pumps. I need a cook so we don't have to eat plump helmets all year long.

I'll handle the rest. Here's the plans.

Sarvesh Mossbeard - Administrator
Jeweler/Glassmaker

Cook/Brewer
Digger/Engraver
Woodcutter/Herbalist
Fisherdwarf/Doctor

[CutieBard]

I'll take the digger/engraver. Nickname 'Bard' please.

EDIT: Also, plans look great.

[Retro]

I don't see Mechanic on that list, though I'd like whoever will act as that. Named Retro o'course. This ought to be pretty interesting. Megaprojects ftw.

[Dermonster]

Ill take the woodcutter/herbalist, but give him 2 herb/3 Axedwarf please. and a steel axe. Since this is a community game, That means we get to see logs of the main guy (You) about the events of the fort right?

Which means I Can have my Dwarf be a psychotic Axeman who snaps into a murderous RAEG at the slightest notice.

DEREK SOULCHOPPER SMASH! HOW DARE YOU INTERRUPT FLOWER PICKING TIME!

[Areku]

I'll take the glassmaker. Named "Delta", if ya would.

...I do hope that you've got a good site for that, since most oceans I've found so far are only five or six Z-levels deep, too shallow for a serious megaproject. Most times I decide to build an aquarium fortress, I prefer to dig a big crater and flood it, though that is pretty time-consuming.

[Urist Imiknorris]

I'll take an immigrant metalcrafter, named Urist the Blue, drafted and given an axe.

"-Derek...
-What?!
-Where's the sand? All I'm seeing is shale.
-Sand? What sand?
-Darnit Derek. We need sand to make glass. There's no beach here."
-Oh. Yea. Derp. By the hills, soil layer. Can't miss it, all over the place."

"Great. Dig up a large room in the soil, build some beds, move the supplies over, setup the workshops. And prepare a campfire for tonight. We start building the foundations tommorow at dawn."

Sorry Derek. You started with a copper axe. Couldn't get anything better.

[Dermonster]

No prob, just upgrade as soon as possible, don't want to get... attached...

[Urist McOverlord]

I'll take the doctor. Name: Urist McCoy.

[Itnetlolor]

I'll be a resident mechanic. Name's the same.

You want a device that'll work, I'm your guy.

[Sarvesh Mossbeard]

What if I want stuff that breaks half the time? Gnomish Engineering?

[Fourdots]

I'll take the cook/brewer.

And Armok help you if all you give him to work with is plump helmets. They're just so ... mushroomy. And icky. Would you be willing to eat fungi all the time? Even well prepared fungi, in fungi sauce, with a fine fungi glazing, and a finely chopped fungi salad on the side?

Name of F. Ungo. He's been rebelling against it his entire life, and prefers to be called Frog.

[Sarvesh Mossbeard]

Well since its nickname, Froggy works for you?

[Itnetlolor]

Looks like we've got ourselves a fun guy here.

That is, until we come across some plump helmet men, then there will be many a fun guy.

[Sarvesh Mossbeard]

Our first wave of migrants have arrived.

1 Blacksmith.
1 Tanner, Turning Butcher.
1 Dyer, turning clothier.

1rst Malachite.
My thoughts to poor Derek, who's hand been torn open by an elk bird. While the wound isn't fatal, we have no reliable water source. We have to build a de-salination reservoir before Derek dies of thirst.

13th Malachite.
Desalination Powerplant operational. We have a water source - Derek is saved! Now to install the well.

18th Malachite.
Derek has died from thirst... there goes our only woodcutter. We all worked so hard toward the water source.

24th Malachite.
Now Bardie got wounded fighting a trologdyte. better wall of that cavern. We got water now, so he should be fine.

18th Limestone.
Urist the Blue has grown attached to a spider silk coat. Okay.

12th Sandstone
New wave of Migrants. A miner, a woodcutter, a jeweler and a peasant. I've taught the peasant the basic of crafting mechanicms. Oh, and a competent hammerdwarf. I think we found our first military dwarf.
