Dear New Migrants,
We appreciate that, unlike migrants in days gone bye, you have chosen to bring items of actual value to Heartfire instead of just your useless hungry mouths. By all means, encourage your friends in the Mountainhomes to bring several hundred trinkets each with them; the Elves and Humans love this stuff and are keeping us well-supplied with luxuries in trade. However, we are somewhat less pleased by your habit of leaving them all in a pile on the ground, well outside the fortress gates. The storehouse for trinkets and finished goods is on Level -3, right above the crafting hall. You hauled this junk all the way from the Mountainhome, you can haul it the rest of the way across the map and into the damn stockpile. If this behavior is not corrected, new migrants who can't be bothered to stow their own belongings will be assigned to Outside Guard duty where they may defend with their lives the endless stream of dwarves venturing out into the open to clean up their mess.
Dear Dwarves of Heartforge,
Yes, I know, there's +Elf Bone Bling+ out there times a hundred. But everyone is so busy bringing it in from the edge of the map where the useless new migrants keep dumping it that no one is doing any actual work, and we are about to run out of food and booze. What would you rather have, another -Blizzard Man Nail Bracelet- in a bin keeping company the dozen we've already got, or something to eat and drink tonight? Oh, never mind, you are the guys who don't care if a goblin cuts your head off if you can only get your grubby little mitts on your dead buddy's socks, why did I even ask.
