And I bet we are going to forget how to operate it in a few turns some jackass, probably the next guy (no offense), is going to remove all the levers and documentation for operating it and relocate bits and pieces in random order to the lever controlclusterfuck room without notes and rendering the entire thing inoperable, not to mention making it impossible to run the fort.

Fixed.

Exactly what I said Thanks for the fix.

Either way, adding the Battlefailed Reclaim to the archive.

I have been haunted by visions of death...  I think my mind is still rattled from my experiences.  Fortunately, it was not real.

(Twice I've had dwarves slip out of burrows/I forgot to put them back in them, wander out, get slaughtered by Skoxes... and then be saved by grace of the game crashing.  So the good news is that Arcangelsd, Dariush, and.. uh... baby Catalyst (yeah, AGAIN) aren't really dead.  The bad news is I lost about an hour of playing.  I shall regroup with booze and tacos for a fresh assault.)

That's exactly why you SHOULD sign up for a turn.

Well then, is this the fort for you to start learning the ropes at! We have had a number of unfortunate accidents already, call it yet another to have the Mountainhomes send a greenhorn Overlord to watch over everyone when the most responsibility they had back home was watching over how their baby sister crawled down a magma pipe.

EDIT 2: Does anyone know how El Presidente got named (Kar Puwuncobi)? I'm going through all the thread and can't find mention of it, only of his first death.

Well, it was during my turn. But for the exact meaning of the name, I'll tell you it's certainly from a DF language, and leave the rest a mystery.

And I did it during the usual bout of dorfing when I started.

If I don't manage to kill this fort this turn, no one can.

Also, sorry for not actually updating last night.  There may be such a thing as TOO MUCH booze and tacos, I'm afraid.  Also... too much youtube.  >.>

oh, I just realized when I asked for a military dwarf I never said the weapon, axedwarf if possible, nothing like the classic dwarven weapon

We got a few more migrants today.  Among them was a metalworker who looked scrappy - he immediately picked up an abandoned axe and started following the militia (The Crystalline Scholars) around... so I guess we know what his profession will be.  Seanhl, by name.

Speaking of the militia, the dwarves of the fort seem disinclined to follow my old standing orders about staying indoors where its safe... this damn "El Presidente" who immediately resumed his post seems to be too overworked to notice that no one is paying any attention to their burrows.  So, the only thing to do was to confront the problem head on, and give our dwarves-in-arms a little field experience for the safety of the fort.  MantisMan the axedwarf was the first on the scene - and took a bit of a beating in the fray, but with the others arriving shortly thereafter, the clattering menaces were soon laid to rest without any serious harm done.

No sooner was the militia back indoors and the workers again happily wandering outside for no good reason, however, when a large herd of skeletal reindeer crested the snowy horizon.  Tasrak II and arcangelsd of course had wandered off to the south of the fort for no reason I can imagine, and thus ran directly into the herd.  There was no way the militia would mobilize in time to reach them.  Both were carrying picks - so they both immediately became honorary members of the Crystalline Scholars.

MantisMan was again first on the scene -- by entirely too great a margin for her own good.  She was soon pulverized by thrashing hooves.

Did I mention MantisMan was my mother?  And you know how Dwarven mothers are about their babies, in combat?

*siiiiiiiiiighhhhh*

-------

I seriously can't figure out why no one will stay in the fort anymore.  It would make an extremely lame way to die after all this, and is preventing me from focusing on the actual Project.  But they simply are not paying attention to the burrows anymore.  I temporarily switched them off, in order to allow new digging... and now switching them back on, everyone ignores them.  I'm at a loss.
