Add a vote for Weatherwires: Children of Dwarves please. Just read through it and its amazing.

[monk12]

Whoop, running a little late- let's get this party started!

Now, I vote for Dwarven Child Care.

Heyaa... Hoping I'm right about how this works. I nominate Dwarven... "Child Care" for the Hall of Legends.

Basically, it was the idea (partially successful) of turning children into superpowered fireproof warriors by the time they were 12... using extremely controversial methods.

Whole-hearted support for this.
Pit fighting toddlers equals Dwarven ‼Science‼ at its finest.

As I was saying, Dwarven... "Child Care"  (like regular child care, only with rabid dogs instead of care) gets my vote.

Revoting for dwarven child care... if the last time around didn't count.

Thought I should mention this. WARNING: loooooong read
http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=106539.0

Ohhhh, yes... That would definitely deserve a nomination... even if just partially I'm saying that because I wrote a story there... But there's so much good material in that thread, it's insane.


Also, if I still can, I vote for Weatherwires. It belongs here.

I vote for Weatherwires.

Hello!

I wish to nominate an active fort being hosted on Broken Forum. It is called Glazedcoast, and it is magnificent.

Hm, brief synopsis... I shall quote the creator, Bleaktea:

"Okay, sure, we came out here to strip-mine the local landscape, and trained a squad of axe-wielding child soldiers to slaughter the indigenous population as well as murder an ancient being's family and friends one by one right in front of him. Yes, Sinthad's life has been so brutal and bloody that she is little more than a dead-eyed killer at 19. Yes, the arrival of a kindly and just King did nothing to improve the lives of the dwarves, because the problem is not people like Logem but rather the entire dwarven culture. Yes, Glazedcoast is a glass box filled with mud and dead plants, covered in sickening phlegm, below which sits a festering hole leading deep into the bowels of the earth; yes, its major exports are weapons and suffering; yes, there is not a single family that has not lost a child to monsters or the arrogance of the military. I have had endangered birds shot and left their bodies to rot on the ground. I allowed a four-hundred-year-old vampire queen to be ripped limb from limb to discover the limits of her powers. I have thrown innocents into battle with vicious goblins simply because the amazing works of art they produced did not amaze me quite enough. I have made pies out of puppies.

This is grim? This is monstrous? THIS. IS. DWARF! FORTRESS!

*kicks human ambassador into a pit full of captured goblins; puts on gem-studded human-hair crown*"

Okay, off topic here, don't want to derail too much buuut...

...Whats with all the penguins?

To think, it all started as an attempt to visualize other forum members...

But yeah, there's nothing more to it than some guy made some penguin avatars, and people thought they were cool, so they caught on. Mine was a birthday gift from Gatleos, I'll switch back when the novelty wears off.

Bravemule, by the way, is neither abandoned nor inactive. It is still receiving updates, albeit very slowly. The next one is due the end of May.

EDIT: Also, it is definitely not a succession game, as it is the write up a single player's game.

[CountAlex]

I nominate Brightwater.
Brightwater: Community fortress of science, oceans, and animal taming-as author describes it. This is fortress journal story-but there are not only OP's part of stories but also other palyers claim dwarfs and make notes/daries/journals from their face. It's what makes this story valuable adding to beautiful writing style of Sphalerite and the idea of frotress itself.
Finally here is the link to this amusing ocean forepost-Brightwater!

[Aseaheru]

DITO!

I agree! The charecters are everything from a insane, crippled dwarf with a phobia of adamanite with a love for everyone, to a doctor that enjoys "experimenting" on goblins.

[Aseaheru]

EXACTLY MY POINT!

Thought I'd get a little jump on this this month, instead of forgetting for a week like I normally do

Amended. Site didn't want to load for me to check, but based on my hazy recollection of its induction I moved it under Stories. If it's supposed to be under Community Forts or something else, shout out.

I nominate Brightwater.

Nominated! Brightwater will become eligible to receive votes in July.

Speaking of votes, If Bay Forum were a Mountianhome and Glazedcoast are both eligible to receive votes this month. If you feel one or both of these threads are worthy of inclusion, then cast your ballots now!

[Dermonster]
