some fool knocked over a floodgate in the lower levels
wait, why would we have a floodgate separating the main fort from aquifer or ocean?
As for reclaim, I usually do not, but considering that fortress is going to be considered death trap, it may solve migration problem.

If you have the patience and the ability to hold out for migrants by keeping the least upset citizens separated from the tantrumers I would. I would also remove the captain of the guard and fortress guard if you have one, as I find they simply make the problem worse, when they kill another dwarf. Maybe remove all labors but hauling from the sanest ones and make the others all non-haulers, then have the sane ones bring all of your food and necessities to a burrow they are assigned to?

Short story: everybody died ?

Yeah, basically this. I can write up a big update detailing the fort's rapid descent into madness. But until then:

Basically, two options. Hold out for migrants, or abandon, reclaim.

Bah.

Could you post a death toll of named dwarfs until the real updblablabla, to the point: did my new guy make it?

Is scientist still alive and having a good time or has he finally given up on his positive outlook and started trying to rip apart everyone within 200 miles of him?

I vote to hold out as long as possible. If the fortress crumbles to its end, then a reclaim may be in order, but until then: we will fight in the shade.

Although, the notion of a Part II wherein poor, put-upon Aban has to go in and reclaim Oceanbridge now that it is swarming with ghosts, demon zombie goats and crazy pick-wielding dwarves hiding in the shadows is pretty hilarious, regardless of the method by which it comes about.

Also, I think if we were badass enough to conquer Hell we wouldn't be having these problems in the first place. :P

Also also, I'll bet Hamlet is beating people to death with her cheese-hammer of justice. For their own good.

Oh well, even with full candy armor, we would not be able to match hell in a straight-forward meatgrinder of the century. Believe me, snow clowns have overtaken my best candy clad warriors. Thats why traps are needed to kill them, because they REALLY suck against a clever trap or two.

((Guys... I haven't written an update because every time I open up the fort it sinks ever deeper into a stygian abyss of horror and despair. And frankly it's depressing me. Here is a part of the events.))

An Endless Chain of Disasters: Notes from the Historian


The sky turned blood red, the ocean waves ran thick with pus, and giraffes walked backwards. Great and terrible were the omens that probably happened, heralding the end of Oceanbridge.

The Madness fell first on Kogut, a harmless metalsmith. He went into a deep melancholy, and could not be awakened from it, not for hunger or thirst.



A child followed, but the child’s Madness took a different form. He ran at others, baying and screaming in some strange tongue, trying to kill any who came near. As a child, he was not very effective, but still. Terrifying.



The maceman Bayar kept the child from harming any who were near



 but after that, it was if a floodgate had been opened.

Actually, a floodgate had been opened, but that was a minor problem.

And it spread just like a flood. A different flood, though. A flood of madness. Dwarfs who had previously been “maybe just... sad” soon ran through the halls, babbling and tearing off their clothing.



Gary Featherlog, who had watched as his beloved pets were torn apart by a Mad brewer, soon joined that dwarf, both in madness and in death.





None of this prepared the masses of Oceanbridge for the crime that followed. A gem setter commited a murder most foul





and carried the corpse back to his lair, and fashioned his unfortunate victim into a glove.



And the madness continued to spread.







Next: An End, Maybe.

((That's one month. One month.))

I love this fort.  Let it burn through. The survivors are always traumatized and hardened for anything. If possible, please  dwarf traumatized survivor as Colonel Kurtz and make him/her doctor/sheriff (assuming both doctor and sheriff die)
