*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 Drownomatic? 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 dwarvendom 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 DWARF: First seven to post can put requests in for skills and equipment.  I am not reserving a dwarf for myself yet. I may take a migrant.

ENGINEERS ONLY: The dwarves 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.

Urist Gearslapped. Engineer and Metal/weaponsmith. Give him a warhammer (steel is preferred) and a war dog. He wants to build a goblin vs captured wild creature fight arena. Goblins who survive more than 5 rounds will be sent to the danger room, stripped of all supplies. The designs for the fit pit will be posted soon!

Wishes to be a bookkeeper and to build a magma trap. Until then, a cave-in trap similar to what I did in New Eternal Halls.

Are you going to import already reserved Urists from the other thread?

No. I'm going to start over. All dwarves and constructions must be ordered again.
Should I make any lists in the 1st post? Available dwarves? Taken dwarves? Construction list? If you wish anything just say. You can also order pics, char sheets, ... Pretty much anything I can supply.
