How does that look Shade?

[Shade-o]

In this longer period format and with 14 players, the best system in general is what IronyOwl did: List a bunch of objectives you want to achieve in order of time or importance, along with how much time per day you are dedicating to each task type and any other details. Unless you really want to micromanage and hurt me.

[Shade-o]

Oops.


12-7 Sleep
7-8 Breakfast of Sandow Stew and Dwarven Rum
8-6 Work!
6-7 Dinner of Num Num Rollies and Dwarven Wine
7-9 Sing for the camp
9-10 Play with puppies
10-11 Practice throwing knives against a tree
11-12 Sleep

Work will consist of, in order:

-Forging tools for a new mason's workshop out of forged iron.
-Making a new mason's workshop using the tools and a spare table.
-Cutting two stone blocks.
-Forming those blocks into sarcophagi.
-Engraving those sarcophagi with... diplomatic images/explanations of who they are and their feats in life.
-Grabbing a shovel and digging shallow graves on the other side of the river, but still in our bowl next to the cliff face.
-Placing their probably-by-now-rotting corpses into the sarcophagi, dragging them to their temporary graves, and performing the necessary rites, assuring their spirits that this is just until we get more proper arrangements.

-If I manage to finish all that in under six days, or if any of my plans are temporarily obstructed (Gar is using the forge but will be done soon, for instance) I will grab a pickaxe and help dig.

-If they're more permanently obstructed (two people are trying to use our one mason's shop full-time, so my extra one gets occupied at least half the time) I work towards making them not-obstructed (forging new tools, building a new workshop, etc.)


So Norrec, you should probably dig where I direct you or do something else, since I guess I'm on undertaker duty now.

[V-Norrec]

.... but I put all that work forth on trying to make my character seem as distractable as possible by not having her do anything the same way on any day Q.Q

Oh, flirting with the GM are we? Heavy risk, but the prize...

[Samthere]

Alright, I think from now on we should try to conserve our coal for things that are super important (after the new mason's tools).

Also, it'd be nice if we all took one or two of the hours from 7-9pm as social time together. We'll work ourselves to death if we don't take a little time off.

[Rolan7]

Woohoo!

00-07: Sleep
07-08: Breakfast - Dwarven rum and something cheap
08-18: Work.  Lunch by foraging if possible, I'll be in the forest a lot.
18-19: Watch sunset, honor Kun, chat with Urist
19-20: Dinner - Water and a prepared meal
20-23: Play with Denrhymed, listen to others
23-24: Sleeeep

Work means butchering any available corpses, or going out to the forest to produce more corpses with leather and crossbow.  If I run out of bolts, use the axe.  Also I want to forage enough for lunch, even though that may reduce my hunting time.

I hope this helps with the food problem!  For the sake of all you alkies, I suggest that meat be cooked/prepared/preserved instead of plants.  Plants are for booze.

For the 11^th to 14^th, I mine if there is a pick available. If not, I stay in the fields.

Any problems?

You can certainly try, but I don't know if the leadership will let you put a farm there.

[Nirur Torir]

Where is the planned farmland these days?


Daily schedule:
Eating preference: Cooked food, then plump helmets.
Beverage preference: Beer or wine, whichever is greater.

Work queue:
1) Use architecture to determine how tall I can make the wall, and how many blocks it will take. Also figure out how many blocks it will take to make it temporarily two stories high, and figure out a way to build it over the river. It will look approximately like this, with each end tower against the cliff:
2) Help get the farms set up. If this includes mining, then mine.
3) Look at golem. Fix whatever's in my capabilities to fix with a reasonable success rate. Determine which parts are needed to repair it that we don't have. Draw diagrams on paper.
4) More stone blocks.

Code: [Select]

Key: - Walls
= Gate
0 Square tower.

    0--=--0

Spoiler: Planned wall defenses, open for debate (click to show/hide)

Wall will be four units wide. I think I'd like to have inner walkways about halfway up, with the bottom half filled with packed dirt.
The towers will be six units on each side. They should all have stairs, but the inner access point will be in the mountain itself, rather then the ground. Each should be a bit taller then the wall, and there will be counter-siege weaponry on top.

There will be another two layers of walls, which will be lower, allowing archers on the back walls to shoot at enemies. The access points for them will basically be drawbridges from the inner walls. Should one wall get overrun, defenders will be able to retreat to another wall. The outer two walls will have large windows facing inwards where possible without sacrificing structural integrity, and not have inner crenelations, greatly reducing any advantage attackers might have, should they manage to take the walls.

The innermost wall that I'm planning now will not have any windows in the back, but I'll forgo the inner crenelations.

All walls will have arrow slits towards the front. The inner wall will have arrow slits on both sides. All walls will go down to the rock layer.

Spoiler: Letter (click to show/hide)

To Tosid,
Letter 2.

I trust that things have been going better for you since I left then they've gone for me.
Everyone's gone loony, probably all this nonsense about living above the ground. We're low on drink already, and have had to ration it out.
One of our companions has already gone crazy. Killed one fine dwarf. We're not sure why he went crazy, as he ran off. When he later returned, he shot three others, but was mauled by the corpse of the first dwarf. We then did some strange ritual, giving blood to that god of chaos we unleashed on the way here, and he revived the zombie.
I miss rum, but we only brought a little, and I'm holding off on it with the hopes that nobody will make me live off of mudworm paste.
I still need to get started on the wall, but I'll hold off on that until after we've got the farms started.
The paper needs to last, and there's not much time to write. I'll write again soon. Not that you'll notice, what with the letters all arriving at the same time.

Stay strong.
Kogan.
