*waits eagerly for his turn to roll around* the epicness knows no bounds!

[The Master]

I love reading this horrific yet !!!!!FUN!!!!! story! keep up the !!FUN!! work!

[Farmerbob]

I had too much spare time, counted the dead in conan and farmerbob's saves

Sutremaine- 130 dead (277 total)
Conan- 130 dead (277 total)
Farmerbob- 154 dead (305 total)
Solpyre- 157 dead (309 total)

By the way Iggy McNatz Miszon bled to death during Limestone 1067 mortally wounded by Dastot Tiristenor who had died about two years before that during Timber 1065. How that could have happened I have no idea. Dastot killed three other dwarves, while she was alive, and died from thirst so she was probably insane.

If Dastot injured Iggy, and the wound never fully healed, then Iggy died to FB goo as an environmental issue, would the death then be attributed to the last entity to injure Iggy, rather than the goo?  That's what it sounds like might be happening.

Argh, argh. It's my turn next, but I just came up for Ardentdikes.

Do you guys mind putting me at the end of the list?

No problem.

Ghills has been bumped, Katana has been PM'd

K, I'll start tomorrow.

Deliberately tried to read as little as possible until I get my turn, because of the character I'm planning to be.

EDIT: I'm a bit tired. Where do I find teh save file?

K found the file. Starting in a few hours ;3

[katana]

Alright, quick update. *Takes random dorf* Animal caretaker! Alright then.

Hematite, 1069
The previous overseer just ran up to me screaming something about boatmurdered, our mayor, and I believe skeletal yetis. We can deal with all that later. It appears I'm in charge now...
Let's take a look at this place. The first thing I notice is our "haulers". While I approve of haulers, as they're helpful in every self-destructive omnicidal fortress, some things do not make sense. Let's look at one of these haulers:

Legendary. Guess what? Not stonecrafter, woodcrafter, cheese maker, no. ENGRAVER. A LEGENDARY ENGRAVER IS A HAULER? And then the military. It's so confusing right now. I'll just make myself a little personal squad in the corner and train myself with a sword. Oh, and we seem to have 57 wafers of adamantine, but no equipment? It's all freaking iron! Oh look, our weaponsmith is a hauler:

Oh and we had some other "hauler" give birth. Looking down at the caverns, all I could see were some alpaca (wait, amphibian people? whatever. same thing.) corpses. Hey what's this? I don't want your stupid exceptional. I want an ☼adamantine short sword☼ and no less. Keep making swords until I get one.

[katana]

Btw, how long do I have for my turn?

[katana]

Welcome to friggin' ScrubbedCreams, I hope you like the haulers!
(hey wait wasn't the original fort scrubbedcream? Not scrubbedcreams)

Hematite
While I get that short sword sorted out, I'm going to get a set of armor. I'll give some of the other military some of the failed masterwork attempts. Oh wait, everyone's a HAULER with an AXE. Yeah, we're probably wasting adamantine. I'll just use a few more units and then settle for exceptional. For now. Hm, I think I'll create a personal team. You! Bowyer! You're now in the squad. Uh, you too gem setter!
Oh wait what. A water buffalo killed a piglet! Noooo!

Ah screw them both.

Noooo! dont waste give the swords to the sword squads I organized in a overly complex and time consuming way! If your having trouble seeing which squads use swords then look no further, The Clear Swords clearly use swords! (ive been waiting for the chance to use that pun ever since i formed that squad ) There are so many axe dwarves because thats the weapon skill most of the warrior grade dwarves had. I think one of the previous overseers subscribes to the idea that the only dwarfy weapon is the axe.....

as for the custom profession HAULER I found it just as annoying and i know of no way to fix it (Except for the time consuming way of course and even that isnt a permanent fix for dwarves these days because of skill rust)

By the way i forgot to mention in my notes which i guess you didnt read anyway that the mist generator is leaky. Turning it on leaks water into the cleaning trench raising the water level above wading level and trapping any dwarves in the room. I wish you luck figuring out how the thing works (I would advise not trying! thats what i did)

(I use () too much)

[ignatzami]

Katana, a week, ish. As long as you're updating I'm not picky.

As for the custom profession, I think Dwarf Therapist lets you set custom professions through the GUI. I've never tried it, but it's a thought.

[katana]

Welcome to friggin' scrubbedcreams, I hope you like the trousers!
Hematite, part 3

Let's butcher some puppies and stuff. I just realized that we have various caged elves. I'm removing minkot from my squad for no apparent reason. Yeah, this place is so confusing, and I have no idea what to do with it.

Wait who?

Oh, that guy. Where's his corpse anyway? I found this?

Wait, that's a different Atir. I hope. While searching for any possible areas I could find his corpse for burial, I found this:

Meanwhile, Zefon the HAULER has decided to steal MY equipment. Apparently he's meant to be a military commander. I saw this creature that looked like a pile of mud, it should give the squad some decent practice.

Annoyingly, I did not notice the other uninvited guest.

Some idiot stole my kill! However,

That other beast was actually easy to kill, I was only bruised by it trying to push me repeatedly. Now we can recover whatever everyone was running over there for. I think there were some corpses or something? What kind of idiot decides to send some dwarves out, get them killed, and then seals of the cavern? Other than that, all we had was some usual fortress-y stuff like childbirths. Some clothier started acting strangely. Well, I'm not sure about that, but her acquaintances said she was.
Then again, was she? She had no friends. Meh, maybe she'll make something.

I find it funny how I have killed an infamous beast yet am not considered an "official" swordsdwarf. We seem to have a danger room, though I have absolutely no idea how to use it. Suddenly, I started feeling dizzy.... Apparently I blacked out and was dragged to bed. But then whoever it was that had dragged me started acting weird. Later on I felt better, so there's nothing to worry about there.

Malachite, Whatever the year it is
Our clothier finally decided to stop running around the fortress at a turtle's speed and do some work! It uses silk, wood, gems, and I'm not even going to ask who's bone that is. I've realized that I'm a legend... at animal caretaking. However the hell I managed that, I will never know.

Or ever know again really. Ohey, miss clothier has finished her... trousers.


At least we found out what that bone was. Giant jaguar, some elf's former mount. I wonder if it belongs to one of our prisoners...

OOC: wow, horrible fps. at one point there was a brief moment of 66 FPS out of nowhere though.
