I would like to have a turn! First succession game for me, and this being my first post on these forums might not be very reassuring, but I do have some experience with DF!

[davros]

Thanks for the explanation ignatzami.
And to Soljai: This was my first topic.

Hmm, bunch of newbies, magma, and lions. This is going to be GREAT!

A new update!

12th of slate, mid spring.
Things have been going along very well. The metalsmithing complex is almost done, and is being completed as I speak.

Furthermore, in the process of mining, we found a deposit of obsidian which can be mined without puncturing the volcano. Better yet, from our looks outside, we have seen the beginnings of several untapped veins of native gold. However, due to a bit of forgetfulness, I almost managed to starve what few animals we have. Apparently oxen need to eat. Greedy little buggers. We're putting them to pasture outside, but I worry that they might get eaten by giant eagles or something.

Oh, guess what! I'm now the richest person in the fort! You wanna know why? I've got a door!

And Mother said I would never amount to anything.
On a unrelated note, I have ordered a fortified courtyard built so that our animals may graze in peace. It is rather small however, so it shall have to be expanded as time goes on.

Now that the fort is finally secure, I am now able to practice my true calling: Chartered accountancy. Now, if you'll excuse me, I have to go count every pebble in the fort. Twice.

A lot of people have asked how I manage to stay so fit when all I do is count plump helmet spawn, but what it really boils down to is that I forgot to bring paper, so I have to engrave the stocks into the table. With my beard. Well, that's what I wish they would ask. In reality they tend to say things like this:
Urist McAsshole: lol, ur job es gay!!1!!
Foolish mortals. Do they not know that I am the master of life and death! When I reach highest precision, I shall know all. Already I know how all of you are going to eat your next plump helmet, and how each and every one of you is going to die. It's actually pretty funny if you look at it in the right way.

OOC: This was a rather boring bit so I tried to spice it up some. And yes, in this the bookkeeper is a multidimensional monstrosity that takes everything that might happen in the future into account when he writes is ledgers, up to and including his own death.
Oh, and to ignatzami, this is just my fist time on the fourms, not my first volcano fort. My first one only really had anything bad happen to it when a really impressive drawbridge based deathtrap caught some goblins, and my military decided to rush in and fight them. Idiots. Anyway, the fort survived that, but in the end the place died of FPS death.
Oh, and Kona, would you like Vucar to stay Vucar, or would you like me to change his first name to Kona?

[ignatzami]

Good update, looks like things are coming along nicely!

[Naryar]

As long as you did not embarked on a savage mountain, we will not have giant eagles.

[davros]

We're in untamed wilds, but we're not on a mountain. We'll just have to get our muskoxen killed some other way.

Giant. Lions.

Maybe?

  ignatzami, I am new to the forum but not new to DF. The only time I really had Fun was when I decided to attack a dwarven caravan. My fortress was 100% airlocked, and the dorfs literally partied all day! xD So I raised the drawbridge and sniped them with no problems... but my dorfs were weak at heart and got angry at all the death and bodies surrounding the fortress. They turned from ecstatic ecologist hippies (much like elves) into tantrum-throwing mass-murderers. I didn't expect their reaction to an abrupt change in lifestyle to be so realistic! xD
  So yeah, make a note of that on my portofolio, I guess!

Edit: Grammer.

Most of my Fun involves, aquifers, magma, or both.

[Soljai]

  Oh and more recently than the mass-murdering hippies, I went through Z-Levels like mad looking for lava  a Blind Cave Orc decided to follow the light coming from upstairs. I kept getting "job interrupted" messages, so I got all my dorfs into the military and made them kill it.
  Within minutes he fainted from the exhaustion of running between 2 rooms and lost his ability to walk. Naturally, my dwarfs started kicking him like a bunch of filthy gangstas. So I watched the reports. He wasn't dead yet. I let the game run and came back in 5 minutes. He had wounds all over his body but he wasn't dead yet. I came back 15 minutes later to find everything around him filled with blood. Every single part of his body was ripped open, cut, bruised and filled with 2 gallons of blood. I thought he'll bleed to death soon, but after 30 minutes I come back to see the wounds from the beginning of the battle became "old scars" and they were replaced by new ones. He also turned from weak to muscular. I guess that's one way to have a workout...
  A whole HOUR of real life time after he came into my fortress he was finally slain. Five dwarfs died from thirst while kicking the shit out of him and the others started dying later, perhaps losing the will to live.
  *tells you to not get off-topic even thought that's what he's been doing for the whole half an hour*.. soo, waiting for the next update!

@ davros name him Vucar 2.0 no last name like madonna

[davros]

Journal of Davros, the 27th of slate
My senses have informed me that the wall has been completed.

Likewise, the influx of water in the stocks has informed me that we have found the aquifer.

However, I sense a disturbance... one I have not felt scene the mountainhomes...

MARBLE! NOOOOOOOOO!!!!!
This means the mountain must be metamorphic! You know what that means? No magnetite! But wait! I sense a influx of hematite soon. It could be better, but it also could be very worse.

I fail to see why so many people consider aquifers to be a problem.

Better yet, my mystic senses have detected large amounts of native gold nearby. From the amount of ore we will have in just a week, this mountain must be full of it!

And even better than that, the smelting area is now finished, and we have begun forging gold crafts.

Oddly enough, one of the miners demanded that we start calling her Vascar 2.0 for unknown reasons, and to ignore her last name. I allowed the former, but unfortunately, I do not have the legal authority to get someones last name changed.

According to the amounts and types of stone we shall soon gain, there ought to be a hematite vein right around here:

Oddly enough, although it was there, we found it in the middle of a marble deposit. How odd.

And now-Wait! I see it! I see it all!

I have attained highest precision! I know all! So many possibilities, all grouped together! And worse yet, I must make sure they all happen! I can no longer talk to the other mortals, lest they learn to much about their future. I shall be forced to speak in riddles, for I am no longer Davros the Beardsayer... for I am now... The Oracle of Dwarfy.

OOC: Yeah, a greek mythology pun. Deal with it. Oh, and Kona, I apologize for not removing Vucar's last name, but I was not sure how to do it.

[Naryar]

Hey, we are embarking on a volcano. That's only gonna be hematite.

If you did not put the volcanism X- and Y- values to maximum, though.

[davros]

I tried to use DF perfect world to get sediments. I failed.
