Dear 6 of the Seven starting Urists:

When I define a burrows underground that we just dug out and assign ALL of you to it due to the forest we embarked in SPONTAINIOUSLY COMBUSTING, I do not expect you to just stand there, above ground, and burn to death. The only one of your seven knuckleheads that was smart enough to actually go to the burrows and not burn to death was Urist Mc Miner, who just threw a tantrum, is miserable, and may or may not survive.

Yours sincerly:

The Overseer wondering what on earth started that spontanious combustion.

Ugh I got the same problem!

Dear Dorfs,

Please continue throwing yourselves over the waterfall of 31z levels. Please continue ignoring the bridge built literally 1 space from the edge...

Yours truly,

Nope, it was calm. There was just a spontanious combustion.

Than it is probably a new bug - to fix this upload savegame  to DFFD and create a bug on a bugtracker (you may try searching but AFAIK combustion is a new problem).

I don't suppose Toady added burning bush to the game, did he?

Dear Urist McWoodworker,
  WHY did you claim the +2000☼ decorated +steel battle axe+ I bought from the caravan specifcially for our axe squad-leader? Argh, now I can't reassign it.


Dear Urist McSquadLeader,
  Either drop that useless (copper axe), or go over to Urist McSquadleader and shove it into somewhere debilitating and painful and take your +steel battle axe+. Seriously, go do it. NOW.

RE: The eagle

That was a very nice shot, and the dead bird even managed to fall down the central shaft in the fortress.  They should make a sport out of that.

Unfortunately, at the bottom of that shaft is the water cistern.  And now everybody is complaining that the water tastes like dead bird.

Please cut down on the showboating.

I'm not sure if this is epic win, or epic fail, but the stray bunny that arrived with my third migrant wave just bit the Human Corpse in the upper arm ... and The Stray Bunny latches on firmly!  It will be be humorous is the vile beastie actually helps defend my fort of 21 dwarves from the 29 zombies that just arrived. :D

Dear Urists' McMilitia Members,

 The Stray Bunny is making you look bad!  Start killing them instead of teasing them!

Your slightly annoyed overseer.

Zombies are supposed to bite the living, not the other way around.

Tried. Hell, I tried removing the axe from the axedwarf, but neither of them would drop it, even when I forbid both.

Whatever, I've already made replacement steel weapons for the entire military, except the crossbow squad who had to make do with iron.

Dear Urist McMiner:

Would you just stop freaking out at seeing the amphibian men and dig the damn stairway to the caverns? You've already seen them like 20 times, and frankly I don't give a crap if they tear you apart. Just do it and I'll . . . um . . . give you, like, a fancy silver statue or something.

Sincerely,
Armok the Vile Overseer (aka me)

Dear Dogsquad

We are certainly impressed, when we ruptured the HFS and sent our 3 squads of adamantine warriors to fight them we thought for certain that they could handle most of the demons, unfortunately half of them attacked the food stockpile and as such the fort was left defenseless, or so i thought.

You dogsquad consisting of 80 wardogs that we stationed in the first cavern as way to protect civies from troglodtytes, you killed 42 demons, and gave the masons time to wall off that part of the fort. Your careless actions have earned your kin the highest of honors, a gold floored, room decorated with silver statues of dogs for your pen.
