Looking at the layout plans for housing brings up to things two my mind.

First is that in the mind of a seasoned veteran of DF, this is an okay solution for housing all the dwarves and later on, once proper rooms are ready to be dug within stone, this whole area can be converted into a massive treefarm, saving us the trouble of ever again having to brave the depths!

Second is that I wonder how many years will the entire population be forced to live on this soil-layer, when the ones planned within stone inevitably end up flooded, either with magma or water, or housing some forgotten monstrosity or a whole bunch of skeletal horrors or something.

I'm betting on 12.

12 because that's how many years will have passed between now and the end of Eric Blank's turn?

Hm. Tough call. On one hand, we have the two previous FAIL forts, and we've hopefully learned from their mistakes.  On the other hand, that may just mean that our descent into madness and FAIL will come sooner, because earlier experience has taught us how to get the FAIL rolling.

All we have left are, I think, an herbalist, a stoneworker and a herd of children. Hopefully we'll get some good survivors once immigrants start arriving.

Does the stoneworker like cats? I'll take him/her if so.

Ye know, being an usurper overseer gone mad with power isn't too bad. It's honestly not that different from being a normal overseer.
To summarize:
They do an epic face. If that fails, they beat said object to death with their beard.

I suggest planning on a Megaproject already so that we are prepared for when the fail is scheduled to happen.

Build a (Goblin/Elf/Fools that wonder to close) army steam cooker using magma, pumps and water powered by a lava cannon ... maybe serrated discs to?

Wait, how did I end up with turn #14? Am I losing my place on the turn list in favor of playing the 13th year? I'd prefer to play sooner than later, honestly. 13 is still the unlucky number. I can feel it.

Mormota got moved down a few turns, so effectively you're still #13 because his first turn got skipped.

I think when Hellcannon falls, I'll do an adventurer exploring the ruins of it, like how Sankis Jr. explored the remains of Boatmurdered. :P
Sound good?

Failcannon lived for a good 15 months.  You might be waiting a while...
