Dear Migrants.


GO AWAY!

I have enough trouble with building enough beds as-is because I desperately need the wood for my megaproject.  I don't CARE how nice my sea-side fortress looks, go bother some other overseer.  Otherwise, I swear I'm going to go spare and start culling visitors on-sight!

Sincerely, The Irritated Overlordseer of Bookwild

I have enough trouble with building enough beds as-is because I desperately need the wood for my megaproject.

I was wondering what kind of engineering masterpiece you were up to this time.
Sea side...lots of wood...you're building an ark, arent you?

No, hes building a giant middle finger to another continent, that has nothing but elves on it.

[ThatAussieGuy]

Not even close, either of you.  I need them for waterwheel power.  A _LOT_ of waterwheel power....

[hops]

Obviously a middle finger ark powered with waterwheels that is inhabited by elves.

Is it a gigantic spire requiring rediculous amounts of power to power a combination of minecarts and magma pumps?

I already did that.  Left some spots by the bridges in The Spire where you could dig out some tracks leading wherever.  As for the magma pumps, ditto.  There's a powered end-point for it and the general note of "build it however you like, as long as it ends here".

[Splint]

What the hell would you need that much power for then....

[ThatAussieGuy]

Dear Trade Caravan;

Thanks for the wood.  Yes, we'll be stealing it all from you again next year.  Too busy to trade. 

To the dwarves of Bookwild;

Work harder.  I have multiple projects underway and far too many of you seem to be idle.  Prepare for reassignment!

edit:  I see you little buggers have decided to throw a nice big tantrum spiral.  Thanks for doing that in winter, right when I need you working the hardest while the ocean's frozen. 

Sincerely;  Your Strange Mood-ing Overlordseer

Dear Goblins, Humans, whoever,

I'd love for you to come visiting again.  Bring all the christmas presents you'd like!  I have a couple little friends downstairs that I would like you to meet.  (And completely coincidentally, and totally unrelated, I'd really love to test the airlock system I've built that connects the cavern layers with the surface....)  We've got meals for years and are self-sufficient on booze and farming, so we don't mind walling up and waiting it out while you play with your new friends.

Dear Elves,
Screw you.  You bring me grizzly bears which I am perfectly willing to buy from you and you go and pitch a fit over a sock?  At least I imagine it must have been the sock.  Everything else I offered you was made out of stone.  We took your stuff anyway.  Feel free to join the humans or goblins (or both, with any luck) and come visit us again any time you'd like.

Yrs
Anxious Omniscient Overseer

Dear Fortress

...

Why did you shoot him this time?

...

Actually, I don't want to know.

_{P.s. Ezum, stop talking about yourself in the third person. Only the Asmel and the Urists have the right to do that now.}

[Kassil]

What the hell would you need that much power for then....

Draining the ocean, perhaps?

[ThatAussieGuy]

Draining the ocean, perhaps?

Close, but not quite.  The point is moot as my idea didn't work at the prototype scale, so certainly won't work full-scale.  I'd planned to build a wall of screwpumps in the ocean to create a kind of safe-zone area devoid of water as long as the pumps were active and build an outdoors-ish fortress within.  Goblins turn up to attack?  Close the doors to the buildings and turn off the power...

Since that didn't work, at ALL, I'm instead going to ring-cast obsidian walls down to the ocean floor layer-by-layer and drain the created chamber.  Then install floodgates along each level for a similar defensive strategy. 

Dear Ocean;

DAMN YOU FOR FLOWING FASTER THAN MY PUMPS!

Sincerely, a beserk overseer with a failed mood.

[Bobnova]

Would the dwarves even notice the different between a berserk overseer and a "normal" overseer?


To Urist McAdventurer,
I appreciate the need to dodge the fearsome, standard size, largely harmless, owl's vicious attacks. But why must you do it off a cliff, into water?

Regards,
Your rather annoyed director, who now needs a new Adventurer.

[Loud Whispers]

Would the dwarves even notice the different between a berserk overseer and a "normal" overseer?

Yes, suddenly.
