*In the Royal Court of the king*

"I hereby decree my judgement in this case.  All engineers are to be exiled to a prison colony, to prevent the massive loss of life that they have caused.  No longer shall we be plagued by threat of fire and flood.  No more of our fortresses shall be lost to these foolish experiments."

"This is madness!  Sire, how will we defend ourselves without the Elf Drownamatic?  And you yourself commented how excellent our Food Launcher worked!"

"Until it splattered cow parts in my personal dining room.  You lot are useless.  I have made my decree.  However, I will allow you to continue your experiments at the prison colony...loosing prisoner dwarfs is no loss at all."

Dejected, defeated, all of the engineers and designers in the capital were gathered up and chained.  Loaded onto a wagon, they were sent off to their doom.  A few, however, were happy.  This exile meant no restrictions, no building codes, no king to worry about.  Surely the best creations of dwarfendom were soon to come.


*Rules*
BUILD IT BIGGER: This fort is about massive engineering.  Community members are encouraged to create ideas and submit them.  I'll build as many as I can. 

BUILD A DORF: first seven to post can put requests in for skills and equipment.  I am not reserving a dorf for myself yet.  I may take a migrant.

ENGINEERS ONLY: The dorfs that come to this fort are all engineer exiles.  While they may not have the engineering skill, they dream and design works of insane construction.

RP AWAY: Feel free to post rp or whatever.  As I don't have a dwarf it won't interfere with a storyline.  If you don't wish to RP and want to allow others to use your character, please indicate this.

What have I done >_<

[Urist Imiknorris]

A good deed.

I say we embark in the frozen tundra.

[ottottott]

Frozen but not with evil. There are no trees there right? How many points do we get? I suggest we get some wood.

I want the entrance to our fort to be a massive suspension bridge (with drawbridge capabilities or retracting bridge capabilities on the walkway)

I want our embark to have two mountain peaks (or slopes) on either side of it with the dimensions being 4x3 or 3x4 (keep the peaks in the middle of the 3 side)   Any infinite water source is a good thing.  As is sand.

I also recommend that we only dig as much as we need to construct our feats of engineering.

[Urist Imiknorris]

We still need an Urist the Orange.

[Xenos]

!!Urist!! can be known as "!!Urist!! the Orange"  Fire is orange, magma is orange, it fits. 

[Dariush]

Then just Urist, not !!Urist!!, so he fits in style

Also, I vote for a volcano with a major river. (yes, that requires a custom world and tampering with worldgen  )

[Xenos]

Then how about !!Urist the Orange!! Just because he loves magma so much, I imagine he has constantly smoldering clothing from so many !!science!! experiments.
