As I understand it, a legendary someone can have up to 5 apprentices, right ?

That's correct, five! A fey or secretive mood can really boost someone's status.

The current pop. cap is 200. I don't know exactly when my computer is going to start having the FPS crap-out, but it's usually much earlier than now so I'm a little worried. Following kzel's orders to atom smash all waste will be a good advance measure for such an event.

Did we have a small embark or one cavern layer or something? I dunno.

Anyway, when's the next update expected?

One big cavern layer? Maybe that's what did it! I should remember that for future forts.

I've noticed that some players haven't given me direct orders for many seasons. With PBD it's simple: he wants his project finished (and man it should be by now given that he gave me orders to build it twenty-seven pages or so ago  ) but others seem to be busy. I'm going to give a little time for people to leave orders before I play the next turn, maybe the afternoon/evening.

I tend to keep to my orders and art obsession. While smoothing the walls, I keep an eye out for any possible foul play. Tiger does not tolerate flaws in her art.

Dorna looked over the sheet she had been handed one more time.  "Mayor?  Me?  I've been put in charge of this place?!"

Greymist nodded to her.  "Yep, that's what the sheet there says.  Can you believe it?"  Dorna shook her head.  "Well I can.  Probably heard about Valrandir's unhealthy obsession with rock blocks." Greymist leaned in.  "I think it's damn near fetishistic if you ask me."  The two of them shared a giggle.

"Good point," Dorna said. "And with me in charge I can make sure this fort makes the mechanical turn it needs.  Hell the entryway is pretty much unguarded, aside from the cage traps!  Add in the lack of magma and if a siege or something comes a-knocking we'd be dead faster than you can say 'boatmurdered'.  First things first we need to prepare the main entry hall, and see if we can get the miners digging down to find some sort of magma.  We'll run out of wood at this rate.  And I think I have an idea for the hill as well... excuse me Greymist, I need to go talk to some of the dwarves." Dorna turned and started heading down the halls to talk with some of the miners.


OOC: As it is, there's two projects I'd like to work on at the moment.  First: Have miners continue digging downwards to try to find the cavern layers and, hopefully, some magma within.  If Valrandir has standing orders, however, see if they can work around that.  Second, I'd like to build a two-to-three z-level deep pit where the entry passage is, eventually with a retractable bridge extending over it.  I realize the pit isn't that deep but A: We're still on an aquifer, and B: It won't be the fall that kills them, but the spikes or magma or drowning in water that will be in the moat.  Hehehe.  As for the hill, plans for that will happen, but it will require more miners and I think they'll have their hands full with current projects.

I haven't received orders from:

Mipe9
Stiric
BlastoiseDwarf
JoshuaXI
tcei
JohnnyDigs

gordy

in some time. If you guys read this post let me know if you want to change your orders, because right now I just have you generally helping out.

I want to be dwarfed as:
Solon Osormeng

Why have I not been dwarfed?

[gordy]

Apologies, I hadn't realised I had been dwarfed already. Gordy dwarf plays out as an eccentric but gifted glassmaker. He/she has all skills required of a glassmaker/glass blower - patience, and a delicate and artistic hand. With the permission of the Mayor (and maybe the doctors help), I would like to have him build a glassmakers suite as close as possible to collectable sand but to ensure the entirety of the suite is walled in stone. This suite should contain at least one glassmakers station, stockpiles for raw glass and sandbags. If I can have no apprentices, I would like all other dwarves switched off from glassmaking and have Gordy collect sand x 2 and create raw glass on repeat for now. The suite should also contain a bedroom, study and dining room for Gordy (they can be the whole room). I would like the first things made to include a glass portal, glass table and chairs for his room. Eventually the whole suite should be paved in green glass with smoothed rock walls.

If there are no bags to collect sand, please build a loom for Gordys use to make the bags himself.
If there is no sand on the map, please request some purchased from the merchants.
(can you please confirm we have sand on the map?)



Cheers,

G

Because I have made a grave error that will be remedied at once! Sorry about that.

(can you please confirm we have sand on the map?)

No need to apologize, I didn't make it clear to you since you weren't introduced in the thread. Oops! We've got red sand in abundance. Lekza is working on the bags. The DFMA map here'll show you what we're lookin' like. There's a lot of aquifer all around the red sand, so I may end up having to construct a stone room for you nearby the entrance to the lower fortress.

[gordy]

Great, and thanks. I'll check the map for where the glassmaker suite might be situated. red sand for green glass ahoy.

This is a fun read so far, keep it up everyone.
