Edit: And seriously, Urist, why did you open up those murky pools on surface? You flooded the space I dug out for axles for pumps

There was a bunch of stuff in them, including one of the unburied dwarves who was haunting the fortress.

[Dariush]

And now all that stuff lies at the bottom of the ocean?...

By the way, are you ever going to update the to-be-dorfed list?

[Urist Imiknorris]

Done. I don't think any of the stuff in the pools actually fell in the ocean. The entire beach didn't hit 1/7 water until sometime in Opal.

[Ahrimahn]

If my dorfing request hasnt been processed  can i be dorfed preferably as an almost useless career like soapmaker. also can i be added to the list of future players

[Weirdsound]

Hmm... Only a handful of turns before I get to go. Better aquatint myself with the latest version of DF. Keep the Fun alive boys!

[ignatzami]

Am I still alive?

Should be Iggy, or Iggy McNatz, a male peasant.

[Ahrimahn]

Hmm.

Honestly I don't know if I should bother with updates or not. I'm at half year by now and the sheer awesomeness is tearing me apart.

For the record, the total FB count is 8. From 15 at the beginning. But then, our military's dead or dying in horrible pains, I don't even have the dwarfpower to flood the z-level the battle took place in with magma because everyone's focused on dumping clothes in a desperate attempt to rise FPS, and whatever high-skill and relevant dwarves died in the flood, via FBs, or were generally fucked up somewhere in between. Population's down to 56.

Let's roll.

edit: stratch that, 55, some guy died in magma again

Bother with the updates i want to read this damn story.

[LordSlowpoke]

Nothing important happened today. Dwarven caraven came and went, so did the humans, so did the goblins. The goblins offered us a nice deal on armor, actually, but they were treated elven-style. We're swimming in silver, my bedroom's complete, and most importantly, FPS is at a nice range of 20-24. I think I'm gonna manage to pack it up and send it this week.

[LordSlowpoke]

Eh. I don't like doubleposting. Quite forced to do so because I gotta ask you guys something.

Now, the health menu is being spectacularily buggy (remember the dwarves that are numb all over? They don't die. They freeze down the menu every single time anything related to them is mentioned there, crashing the game. Whee!) and I had to replay the same two months a few times, it's beginning to be annoying by now. So, I ask you, should I send the turn unfinished and let breadbocks have two months extra for his turn?

[Urist Imiknorris]

If you want. Anything is better than nothing.

Also, that problem might have been fixed in .22/.23/.24 somewhere, so that's an option too.

[LordSlowpoke]

Okay then. Just so you know, I was drunk most of the time while playing... so don't ask me how I did anything, okay? Especially that tiny thing in the Ocean of Slime. It's the thing that confused me most but I bloody well pulled it off properly.

Save is HERE.

Spoiler: And about that accident... (click to show/hide)

You see, I was busy designing the drain for the Ocean of Slime while an idea struck me. Why the hell not clean it from whatever may be floating in and feed dwarves with the most poisonous substance out there cleansed by pure dwarven engineering? Genius. Use a perpetual motion machine to clean that water? Dwarven outright. Thusly, a set of ramps, a reservoir, few sets of gears were built, and it was good. Except one part. The cleaning station was 3 z-levels below the fortification - which served as a secure entry point for the water. I leave the part of imagining the immense water pressure washing away dwarves and crushing them against walls to you, but thankfully, I selected a z-level already turned into a huge miner playground for my base of operations. While water flooded relatively irrevelant places, I just made a well, created a drainage device, and waited. Two months later, the area was remotely safe, so I made a device to drain the water some more (see: water atomsmasher, level ~-76) and proceeded to build my quarters and make a device to bring power to the water wheel to kickstart all that hoping it won't overflood with a screw pump already in space with it's impassable tiles and all that jazz. But then I breached the area where the FBs laid waiting. Well shit, one miner dead, calling down whatever military I had at hand. Some time after that I decided to screw that, retreat whatever forces were left - we were winning the battle admittedly, 7 dwarves for more than 10 FBs, but the syndrome of majestic fuckall was on the ground waiting. Calling in a miner squad to breach the magma sea, another squad to engineer an obsidian wall creation plan, and the military to a relatively safe place, z-level 88 was thorougly flooded with necrowater, magma, and a touch of obsidian in between. And that's the tale of the Flooding of 529, gentledwarves. 21 dwarves dead total, three permamently damaged, and a spoiled fucker who profited from it all - LordSlowpoke, the Magnfiicent Bastard.

Can I put that in the OP?

I'd be honored.

Well player, LordSlowpoke.
