Well It seems "The Master" was upset by it as it was his Rule #1, Altho im always up for !!FUN!! and unexpected results make it all the more challenging to keep the fort alive. I've ruined some of my forts in ways I don't even know.

Sorry wasn't intending on taking a side. I dislike rule breakers, expesally "Grievers" who distroy or damage something for the sake of fun. I am very resourceful and have suffered from several types of grievances from hundreds of people. I should be able to start reclaiming this fort at 11:15pm Eastren time (UTC -5:00). But I have nothing against Noodle0117 because he never damaged or ruined anything of mine. I frown on the Rule breaking. But lets set this aside and have some fun with reclaimming :)

You could just... you know, redownload the fort save, find where I placed all the supports, and build a wall to support the ceilings.

Or you could soften up more instead. Just saying.

All in all I feel that the rules and what we're required to do needs some more softening up. Can't expect everyone to do everything exactly as you want, ya know. We have a life.

your right. It's just that I put everything I had into that fortress. then watching it all crumble to dust broke my heart, it devastated me. I just can't forgive noodle, but if he is still up for it, he can go LAST. is that alright?

And so begins my game
-----------------------------------------------------------
After hearing no news from Portalpriests for months, our Queen Kogsak Likotesis sent me, Hugo Bronzelances. Why me? I asked Kogsak that very question. It must have been my reputation as Captain of the Guard, being one of the first of our kind and 98 years old to boot. And never taking any sick leave. So I and six other fellow dwarves are to be sent off to investigate what happened there, and to salvage whats left...

Apon arrival, we found several bodies and goods littering the landscape, equally rotting in the sun. Standing within the enterance of Portalpriests was quite eerie. With the only noise being the wind blowing through the now empty halls and dripping water echoing in the fortresses depths. "Ok lads, time to settle into our new home." with that statement nervous glaces were cast about. And the rebuilding of Portalpriests begun...

Taking the first step towards the enterance I was greeted by super-natural howling which sent shivers down my spine.
 
Kivish Logemzoz Ghostly Soap Maker can be heard howling throughout the fortress!

Beckoning Catton and Tekkud to acompany me into the fort, as we three were the only armed ones, save for the miners Urdim and Led. Traveling through the halls I got this sickening feeling, like something was wrong. Then I heard it, a faint clicking sound that gradually got louder. "Turn back now! Run!" I yelled at Catton and Tekkud, with all of us running for the exit, the clicking was now faster and louder almost keeping pace with my frezied heart rate. They ran clear and I jumped into the sunlight just as a enomous explosion could be heard in the fortress.

A section of the cavern has collapsed!

Dust blew out the enterance like flames from a dragons maw. "By Astis what the Hell was that?" standing up and eyeing my fellow dwarves "Well men. I suggest we carve out a small outpost in that cliff there. At least untl help arrives. Who knows what dangers there are in there or out here." everyone nodded in agreement.

Standing on the cliff overlooking the fortress I heard another succession of clicks followed by another explosion.

A section of the cavern has collapsed!

Astis help us, what could have drove these dwarves to self-distruct the fortress? A unforseen enemy? Simple madness? Perhaps some sort of record can be found in the ruins. Right now the miners are digging out the tempory living/working quarters, and farms. Dragging all the supplies up the damn cliff, mountain, hill whatever the fuck this is. Worse thing is im in full uniform, But the only dangerous thing here is a small cluster of hoary marmots. For added protection I've assigned everyone two war hounds.

So you've decided to continue with the cave-in version after all... guess this will be interesting.

And to The Master:
I'm sorry for ruining your fort.
I meant it more as a prank to add a touch of madness to the fort, although I see I must have went too far.
It feels awkward to ask for forgiveness on a forum post, but I'll still ask anyways.
Please forgive me Master.

I'm with noodle, "you son of an elf" just became true :), all great forts had their share of ridiculous engineering, just wish someone would document it from within, a proper dwarfy narrative of the horror machine.

Since Noodle0117 engineered the structure, would he be willing to write a piece of what it would be for the unsuspecting dwarves as various ceilings collapse?
