I'd like to sign up for a turn, it seems that you have a dearth of players, and I'm here to step in and fill the gap! (and get my bass beaten down by this... chaotic fortress.

Done.  I'll be sure to notify you when your turn comes. Welcome aboard.

[Michael_Almeida]

Just bumping to try and ask for more people to join. Also I want to ask: when if s]when[/s] if when the fort inevitably crumbles in some freak carp-related accident, should we continue with a reclaim or let it die?

[Saint]

Hell I'll take a turn.

[Michael_Almeida]

Hell I'll take a turn.

You have been added to the list, and I will notify you once it is your turn. The more, the merrier!

[Saint]

Thanks.

[Spish]

Come on boy, I spent the last half of my turn battling an unstoppable horde of ultraviolent crazies. You get to spend the first half of yours ignoring them to death.

Also, I may have forgotten to designate some chains 'n cages for justice. Some of which (cages) may be clogged with the bodyparts of those who died in its name. Think you could check up on that?

[Michael_Almeida]

I'm a little worried considering Draxis hasn't said a thing yet. But he still has until the 21st to finish his turn before his turn ends. In any case, at least I've learned a few things about setting up these things.

I just love my arena, even if the gladiators weren't up to scratch.
It was just hilarious, watching all of them get slaughtered while that one guy ran back and forth like a headless chicken, pissing himself and looking for a way out.

[Michael_Almeida]

I have just contacted Draxis since his week has ended. If he doesn't respond within 24 hours, I'm just going to outright skip him. I'm starting to think I should change the time limit to something like ten days, but I still believe that a week is ample time for a fortress year.

[Spish]

This is, what, the third time he's done this? Shoulda seen it coming...

Anyway, here's the file again, for your convenience. I gave it a bit of cleaning up, since I had the time to do so.

Auride traders are still waiting to be traded with, memorial hall needs to be set up as a room, Ikidarsha's tomb, blah blah etc. I never did see any encar, which makes me sad in retrospect.

[Draxis]

Soory, I really had no time this week, plus computer problems.  I got less than one season done. 
Seven days is enough, just not those seven days.

Anyway:

Excerpts from the diary of Oddum Deler

2. Granite:  So a few days ago I arrived at Crewtowns.  I had been told it was in bad shape, but I was expecting famine or invasion, not this.  Had to be half the citizens were in trouble with the law, a bunch were locked up and insane, and the whole surface was covered in blood.  A militia commander named Yasten had seized control, and while he had kept the place from tearing itself apart, he was hardly an ideal leader.  It wasn't until a few hours ago that I was told that the previous leader, named Wypie of all things, had fled immediately upon arrival.  Well, I set about cleaning the place up, but there wasn't really much I could do.  Oh yes, some of the miners who had for some reason been digging a shaft straight down, had struck an underground magma pit, so I ordered the construction of some magma forges there.  It was suggested that I instead move the magma to the fortress, but how am I supposed to do that?

5. Granite:  Raw Aadmantine - Praise the Miners!  While digging out the magma forges, Nil Alkamuz spotted through a hole he was digging.  I ordered the miners to dig carefully towards it, but progress is slow..

22. Granite:  I ordered tha engraving of the main dining Hall, in order to cheer up some of the less happy dwarfes.  Progress on the diging of the forges and adamantine is very sloe, because it is so far from the fortress. People in the prison basebent keep dying, I was going to let thm out, but Yasten said that they were dangerous and insane.  I'm not convinced of his fitness to led, but he seems to know what he;s talking about so I'll takr his advice;  it just seems cruel to keep them locked down there.  Anyway, i ordered the diggig of several toimbs for the gratest of our warriors, just south of the barracks.  Also, I ordered one of the empty rooms to be filled with beds as a dormatory for homeless dwarves, because we don't have rooms for them all.

6 Slate - Lor Fastharub, the mason, has stoPped talking to people, and retreated to his workshiop.  None knows hat he is doing, but he is very intent on it.  at this pont i have Better things to pork on than some foool of a mason.  They've been a few of monsters in the cavern s, bu t our warriors have stopped them easyly But the other day a troglodite suck all the way into the main level and was beheeded by a woodcuter.



15Slatr -or finished hi s construction, a table there was a place in the dining hallowith no thabe nut a chair, so I put it there.  It is very pretty.



21 slate - We becpa county. yastEN IS NOW THE COUYYT>  I thinfj this job is having an effdt on me, you godaar try running this place its a madhouse. 
let yasten do it hes th only strong one hert.  How is it thar some places get all the luck and we gey stuck here in this lnace.

Actually the fortress is doing quite nicely. I'll upload the save as soon as I get the activation thing from dffd,

Pretty good run actually, dunno why I never thought of putting a farm next to the reservoir. But that digger (Bomrek the fishery worker) is still trapped, and close to death D:
And a large portion of the chains in my jail are either undesignated for justice, or missing completely.

A few other recommendations for the next ruler. Take Kumil Astodam off of pump operating duties and put someone less useful in his place, it's getting in the way of justice. Let Tobul Blockadetreaties out of the dungeon ( burrow 8 ), she's actually a pretty cool guy. Put a Meeting Hall zone in the first floor dining room; everyone's crowding into that tiny arena viewroom for some reason. Put those memorial slabs somewhere.

[Michael_Almeida]

This is, what, the third time he's done this? Shoulda seen it coming...

In his defence at least this time he actually showed some signs of life. Still, I've notified Cousen. He will be playing the rest of Draxis' year and (hopefully) his year as well. Anyway, the more players we can get in this game, the better.

Downloading...and done and loaded.

Got my work cut out of me here.   Allot of unhappy dwarfs, not sure why.  Stockpiles- definitely needs allot of micromanagement.  Workshops – what’s happing here? All of them stacked together.  Think I will dedicate draxis turn to creating some order.   Then with my luck just fend of sieges, or elsewise start expanding the fort.
At least there is plenty of food.
