Well, we need to wait for the turns to be ran through first.

[Shade-o]

In case you were wondering, the cave flour can be cooked into a large amount of biscuits, making it a bland but large food supply. The cobalt fungus was brought along to brew up.

Anyway, you have enough food for about two more months. Should the caravan be sent back to scavenge more supplies?

[V-Norrec]

>.>  <.<  As much as I hate to admit it, yeah they probably should.  I just wish turns would go faster for us in the non-adventure group while they're gone.

((Btw, when is the official turn for everyone that's at the camp going to go through))

[IronyOwl]

Well, there's no particular reason everyone who went last time has to go this time, and vice versa. How bad are your injuries?

[V-Norrec]

I dunno, I need the update to see how much time has passed since I got shot with all those arrows.

Edit:  My injuries were bad enough to warrant me building myself a set of crutches so I could actually move around though.

[Hastur]

there is no clear calendar or daily progress or timestamps

[CoughDrop]

...Are the kobolds still barricaded nearby?

[V-Norrec]

probably not.

[DrunkDorfPally]

If they are, we'll just go gank them.  I mean, they're somewhere between rats and goblins on the threat-o-meter and so are more of a nusiance than a serious problem.  XP 

[V-Norrec]

... Did you somehow miss me getting a few new holes in my body from those kobolds, wait until we get some decent equipment before you go around doing ill-advised actions.

Wow, someone's grumpy.  XD  XP

Factions
A variety of political viewpoints can appear in a fortress. A dwarf might join several factions which represent their interests, but like deities your dedication might seem questionable if you appear to ingratiate yourself with everyone. The affiliations of the dwarves (and particularly those in power) can greatly affect the direction that the fort takes.

Of course, when the revolution comes you need to be sure of your loyalties.

Do you have an idea on how to incorporate factions IC?

[V-Norrec]

Somehow I'm a mixture of three.  Strong Doomguards though that's for sure (especially the food and drink bit).  Also a natural inclination to Goldguard (wealth is nice).  Finally, a tinge of Raggers only so far as it gets rid of the nobles and allows unrestricted movement between rich and poor based on ability and deeds, not birth. 

. . . Huh, my char is kinda like an American.  Cool, I like America.

Doomguards
Independents
Intellectuals-the small military might be bad out here.
