but its stickied...

Yes, but I'll forget I wanted to pay attention to it...

[KenboCalrissian]

I'd upvote Deathgate if it didn't already have more than enough votes.  I'm reading it now, really good stuff!

[AnimaRytak]

I was thinking this quote might sum up Deathgate better than anything else I've come up with:

I've really run this fort into the ground.  Half the military is dead or insane from the horrors of hell, six or so forsaken beasts are locked away in the caverns,  the road into Deathgate has been painted with troll blood,  we've slaughtered about 400 innocent animals via liberal application of a boot to the ass, a deer with its liver hanging out of its chest after two siege bolts to the face is still scaring the piss out of people using the old doom-bridge, and we have about a dozen ghosts routinely harassing our dwarves since I can't find or reach their corpses.  As I speak, lava is pouring down the side of the mountain in the hopes it burns some of those damned goblins sieging us to death or at least drives them towards the troll-blood bridge.  On the flip side, Armok's temple is almost complete and we've stolen enough goods from the humans to piss them off for a good decade.

Can we nominate ourselves? The Pyramid and the Inmates story in my signature were very popular when I made them, and I think I got an award for the pyramid. I built it before it was possible to place constructions with multiple tiles, so it took many real-life months to build. There's some screenshots in the thread. Inmates was maybe my most popular story. Skullcrusher Mountain did quite well too, and was maybe my favorite story ever. I did complete an overelaborate death trap, but then sadly I had to abandon it due to moving to another continent, so the story was never finished.

I'd like to nominate YOU ARE WIZARD!

As for the description, how about this?

I'll give one more vote to the Forgotten Beast Art Contest. There's a lot of fun to be found there, I think.

[NRDL]

I would like to nominate Evercage, the dwarven prison fort.  Here it is:

I vote for Evercage as well.

I looked at the thread, saw the title, the achievement, and the first image, and am voting for it.

+1 vote to Deathgate.

Deathgate has been added to the Hall of Legends! *dadurrrr!*

Just to let you know that there's an archived version of Nist Akath. Is it possible to update the OP with this link?

Updated.

Various and sundry nominations and votes added!

[AnimaRytak]

Woooooo!

Go Deathgate, its your birthday, Go, Go!

[Mephansteras]

I'll put in votes for Sungate and the Forgotten Beast's thread.

[Urist Imiknorris]

I'll vote for Sungate, and remind everyone that the original and legendary mermaid thread needs three more votes to be in.

[KenboCalrissian]

Oh hey, Severedcoils was nominated a little while ago!  Sweet, I should go on hiatus more often

[Sneaky Walrus]

Another vote for evercage, my good sir!

[Elmach]

I vote mermaid.

Mermaid bone jewelry, that is.
