I'm going to have to pass - I'm headed out of state for Thanksgiving and won't have any time to play.

[Oglokoog]

13 DEATHS?
Could you post the z screen, please? How many dwarves do we have now?

[LordSlowpoke]

Ahem.

I'm gonna take the liberty of bumping this and PMing Nat to download the save, since it seems that without such stuff this thread'll die. No offense, Urist

[Urist Imiknorris]

I too am out of state for Thanksgiving.

[NightmareBros]

So, are we moving on to Pisano or...?

[Groveller]

Posting to follow, and to make yet another dwarfage request. Name Grov. I've not seen any use of the bone block reaction, so I'd like to be an alchemist, if possible.

[Nat]

Eek, I'm up now then? Ok, grabbing the save, though I doubt I'll try to do much tonight as I am super drunk.

I am not sure what I am going to do, but I am aiming at finishing my turn in 3-7 days, depending on how much of a chaotic mess the place is.

Sorry for the delay - <GenericLameExcuse>

[Groveller]

Lame excuse? 'Having a drink instead' is the dwarfiest reason to not get something done, short of accidentally flooding your home with magma. Or intentionally flooding your home with magma.

[Nat]

Barring any major problems popping up I should be done in a few hours. Not doing much that's interesting, just trying to clean up a bit and not get too many dwarves killed, since we only had 12 good ones at the start of my turn.

In true failcannon style, a magma-related device I constructed failed hilariously. I was trying to make a simple thing to drop junk into magma to destroy it, but instead the pile of rocks I was testing it with were thrown all around the room. I think the fact that the dwarf who pulled the lever tends to run over the hole on the way out was pretty poor planning on my part too. Luckily though, I haven't actually managed to kill anyone with this yet.

I'll update with the full story and name dwarves at the end of my turn. There are a bunch spare at the moment but hey, this is Dwarf Fortress. I've already lost 2 dwarves due to completely ignoring everything that's already happened in this place.

Quick summary:

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Dragged as many dwarf corpses inside and buried them as I could. Unfortunately some more got killed later, including the dwarf caravan, the diplomat was fine though, hopefully this doesn't cause too many problems in future.
The fortress was full of full stockpiles and cluttered workshops, and I tried to do something about it.
Made lots of bins, so now there's a million hauling jobs that need done. Just don't have enough dwarfpower to get it done in a year.
Tried to clear up some of the rocks - there's heaps and heaps and heaps of rocks everywhere. Same deal, not enough haulers.
Gave LordSlowpoke some minions, started training and equipping them. This has already paid off.
Started making bronze to outfit the minions. I don't think we have flux for steel but if we do and I just didn't see it, my bad. I'm still finding new things in the fortress I didn't notice all year.

We are now a barony, with a baroness. Didn't quite finish her rooms, they're near the tombs. Have Fun. Did I mention she's one of LordSlowpoke's minions?

We have way too much food, especially plants. Should probably shut down the farms but I forgot about it.

Booze is low and we need more barrels because of all the food. Whoops.

Population:
Start of turn: 12 good dwarves, 10 children
End of turn: 29 good dwarves, 13 children

Forgotten beasts: 3 new ones, I think we have about 9 or 10 now. Hard to count because they're often hiding.

Moods: 2 successful, 1 failed.

Named Dwarf Deaths: Oglia (insane, but will be dead soon), Felcis.

Total Dwarf Deaths: other than those 2... I think 2 other dwarves? Some of the dwarf traders got killed too, about 3 or 4 of them, if you count those.

I am now hard at work writing up the story of what happened. Expect it to take 2 days years longer than I say it will!

[Urist Imiknorris]

We have flux (dolomite IIRC). It's under the aquifer.

[Nat]

Oh, I see. I guess the last person to make steel must have used up all the stuff that was already mined, because I couldn't make pig iron and just assumed we had none.

Also, I just realised I forgot to name the dwarves, there's 18 or so free so the next player should be able to clear out some of that to-be-dorfed list.

[Cheese]

STOP DIEING!!

[EmeraldWind]

STOP DIEING!!

Why? It all in good !!FUN!!, amiright?

Besides these kinds of forts are only successful when their not successful.  It is the Battlefailed way: Go down burning or die trying!

Requesting dorfing, my forum name, please.  I hope for an interesting death at least.  I prefer to be remembered for dying interestingly as opposed to living in obscurity. 

[NightmareBros]

Pisano?

Shall we wait til the end of the week untill we move onto Andreus?
