4. Doc. Quack- You get your doctor. and yes. LOTS of injuries will probaly occur

[lolghurt]

Sign me up!
Any dwarf, named Lolghurt
I suggest some sort of armor/weaponsmith or some armor on embark or something.
War hammers for everyone.

[Thatdude]

Can I claim a dwarf and a turn? I'll take a miner called ThatDude please.

[Fedor]

Signing up for a turn!

If you're willing, please look for a dwarf who likes any of the following:
steel, or axes, or short swords, or shields (make a armor or weaponsmith), clear glass (make a glassmaker), ballista parts (make a siege engineer), crossbows (make a weaponsmith), or gold or platinum (make a blacksmith or metalcrafter).

If you don't find any suitable preferences, just give me a dwarf with mostly good character traits and give him or her your choice of interesting craft skill.

Please also give this dwarf 1 point in each of Leadership and Appraisal; put remaining points in some skill that helps us get food or drink from plants.

Name him or her "Ebe Cragirons".

This dwarf hopes for an anvil, some logs, and some bituminous coal to be included in the embark.

[DuckThatQuacks]

I'll sign up. Please dwarf me as "Doctor Quack", with

Diagnostician: 3
Surgeon: 3
Wound Dresser: 2
Suturer: 1
Bone Doctor: 1

Something tells me we're going to have a lot of injured dwarves (feel free to suggest a better spread of medical skills).

I'd like to see some basic medical supplies: a few pieces of cloth, some thread, a splint, and soap if it is available. Or the ingredients to make soap.

[skaltum]

o o o o o i want in please!!!

Name: Skaltum
Profession: MAD SCIENTIST
role: mechanic 5, stone crafter 2, architect 1 and Sword Dwarf 2 
Gender: any!

also i wouldn't mind being the sherif, but i'd also like to be described in the log as a mumbling fool who's always thinking of way over the top "projects" 

another question, can we do personal logs and back stories while we wait for our turns?


EDIT: an idea for embark items

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

i recommend 10 meat at the price of 2 each
15 turtles!
20 wood
1 iron anvil
2 battleaxes
3 picks
1 male cat
1 male dog
3 female dogs
drinks and seeds (if availible, if not then it's surface farms and plant gathering a go go!)
20 gybsum powder (gives free bags)
10 coal (raw, not coke)
5 lignite
and spend the rest of the points, if any are left on misc skills or on more meatshields male kittens and chain them up 

[JacenHanLovesLegos]

Have you embarked? If you have, could you upload a save?

[Fedor]

3.Fedor- I will try for Glassmaker or Blacksmith/Metalcrafter and will try to meet your dwarfs needs. Plant gathering skill may not be necessary as all plantlife in the forest is dead as well.

Cool.  About the food from plants thing, let me clarify.  Please put at least 4 skill boosts into some mix of either Brewing and Farming, or Cooking and Farming.

[ggamer]

i'd sign up, but I'm still sort of a newb at DF.

I mean, I could probably kick off the fortress (barring some unforseen fun), As I know my way around the menu..

but still...

[CubeJackal]

Sign me up. I probably don't have as much experience as most of you, but it's enough to keep a basic fortress running (and I also read the HFS spoilers, what a bad person i am). However, I've never been man enough to settle anywhere more dangerous than Wilderness areas, so this'll be a first time thing for me. Wish me luck!
PM me here when it's my turn, as I don't often check my email.
I would like novice skills in hunting, trapping, ambushing, fishing and fish cleaning. I could be the fortress's hunter-gatherer, if you will. Name my dwarf 'Urist McCubic'.

You could perhaps sign up for a later turn, when the fortress is more established (and by the time your turn comes around, perhaps you will be less of a newb at DF).

[CubeJackal]

Can we expect any time-consuming magma-powered doomsday devices (the activation of which invariably spells the beginning of the end for the fortress) in this little ditty? Because I love watching those things in action and may not be able to contain myself should one be constructed and functional prior to my turn.

i may or may not make some kind of doomsday device, depends on the area and if i'm up to it, but definatly expect some sort of "tribute"

i just hope we don't have to punch through 3 different caverns to get to the magma, building over 182 pumps isn't exactly FUN UNLESS certian creatures get involved
