Dear dwarves of Wordshame,

Which of you is a friendless, skillless orphan?

Question totally unrelated to the checkerboard I'm creating in the deeps,
Overseer Lielac

P.S.: Hurry up with hooking the hatches to the magma lever!

Dear Overseer;

Don't forget to make sure there's an empty layer between the z-level with the top of the board (the one with all the floor grates) and the level the liquids are poured from.  It's a common mistake with the blueprints

Sincerely;

Engineering Consultant TAG.

Dear Engineering Consultant:

I copied your original blueprints as well as I could, including the z-level of empty space. Luckily the caverns gave me enough space to work, otherwise I might have accidentally removed that layer without knowing what it's for.

What is it for, anyway?

Thank you,
Overseer Lielac

Dear Kogan Noberith, Legendary Glassmaker:

Get to work please, those green glass grates won't create themselves!

Patiently,
Overseer Lielac

Liquids pool on the top of the gameboard.  The extra z-level gives you leeway in case they mix in a pattern that blocks the flow of either in any way.  It's largely redundant and mostly a safe-than-sorry thing.

Dear lyemaker(s),

Oi! The soapers are complaining about not having any lye, stop sitting on your beard(s) and get working!

Dear swarm of mechanics,

Hurry up with hooking the hatches to the magma lever!

Thank you,

Dear Fisherdwarves,

In the name of Zurkul the Orange of Blossoms and all that is Holy, would you PLEASE, only fish in the area I designated instead of falling to your death at the bottom of the waterfall?!

There are already 12 bodies and 10 ghosts at the bottom of the waterfall freaking people out; I don't need you clogging it up even more!

Very Disappointed,
The Guy Who Watches You From Above.

To the Dwarves of Stafffilled;

Work faster.  I want that working model of the new project finished and ready for testing.  NOW!

Dear Recoverer of Wounded:

None are more impressed than I in your recent deed of picking up no less than three wounded warriors simultaneously after that ambush and carrying them to the hospital. But why in the name of all that's holy did you simply drop two of them on the floor and leave them there?

And while we're at it, dear medical system, why were those two wounded dwarves sitting in beds earlier not counted as patients?

Yours sincerely,
Overseer Dorku

Dear Hiver McChemist, please start purifing water now, before we're out.

Dear Worldgen,

This is in regards to my fine fortress that I am running currently.

Why is cavern layer two located roughly at level 8, cavern layer 3 is at roughly level -10 and I didn't hit SMR until level -23?
I seriously would like to have a good source of magma around here somewhere, hopefully i will find it, but I don't have much hope for that. Anyway, when genning a random world, volcanoes are very welcome.

FYI, if you mean z-level whatever, that's shallow. Most worlds are over 100 z-levels deep by the time they reach magma.

Dear Urist McSockhoarder, if your going to kill your family over a lack of socks, please don't complain about it after. I'm sure you will survive without your socks, as for your family..... Yours truly,  Thatdudeuhate

Dear Kobolds,

It appears that, if a lever is positioned correctly, and so is a drawbridge, you are a self-solving problem. Your stupidity and mischief has shown me that my dreams of a suicide booth for you guys, gremlins, and other cheeky creatures can be a reality. Thank you from the bottom of my heart!

Is it me or are people getting less frustrated with dwarves lately? I see fewer posts about dwarves, and fewer that are about actual frustrations

Pretty much what it says: following a moment of stupidity in which I failed to close the roof over my dining room when I was attacked by a massive goblin siege, six of my dwarves were rushed to the infirmary. Four of them were classed as patients and looked after. Two of them were not. Two of them were left to rot, and nothing I could do, not even deconstructing the beds, not even removing the squares they were in from the hospital, would get them to be classed as wounded and moved to a bed to rest. One of them died of dehydration; the other, fortunately, recovered in time to sulk for a long time and yell at my baron (his wife's death during the fighting didn't help, admittedly).

Fortunately, the two idiots dropped on the floor were eventually scooped up and classified as patients, and will hopefully make a full recovery sometime soon.

Dear Engravers,

We have trashed multiple goblin sieges, a goddamn dragon and half a dozen Forgotten Beasts.
Yet you adamantly refuse to engrave any of our epic battles, instead preferring subject matter like flies, tall crosses or approximately eleventy thousand and one piss-poor imitations of that one epic picture of a plump helmet? Look, I know it's supposed to be the symbol of our government and all that, but enough is enough.
Also, the pictures of elves brutally dismembering dwarves in some ancient battle or another are not helping our trade relations, and frankly, I find them all kinds of disturbing. Please stop with those.

-Your Embarrassed Overseer

P.S. On a related note: the next moron to get a mood and then make a bloody artifact tower-cap earring or any useless crap like that will find himself assigned to the "Punishment Zone" burrow, conveniently located above the 6-z drop onto some lovely menacing spikes, permanently. I might even pull the lever myself. Oh, and to the guy who got a macabre mood and made a damn rat bone bracelet: You are the lamest goth wannabe ever. Your friends face agonizing deaths and you "honor" their memory with this, this ...trinket?! Really, stop rubbing your wrists with that Xxpalm training swordxX and do something useful, for the Gods' sakes!

Oh, nevermind. Read it as "three hundred". Not nearly as epic, now.
