Sooo... What's actually happening in the fort, Mego?

[Eric Blank]

Indeed! I just looked at the civ's history and noted some basic events.

This was what I came up with:

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Chapter Two: Rebirth and Fall from Grace.

From the ashes, of a winter of death
Did spring forth the survivors,
Ruins forgotten, borders as dust
In the divine wind that still blew strong.

The Age of Myth it was called;
Great Beasts of the Gods’ armies stood fast,
To harass the soul-touched
As they lay foundations for a Second Golden Age.

Soon, a Dwarf proclaimed himself King.
Flag of benevolence, the Sword of Boots.
For 77 years did he reign,
Broken naught by undue death.

Soon, the goddess of death, Ura,
Did commit atrocities unspeakable.
In the wilds around Nationsracks
Yetis she possessed to destroy.

Not but a century passed, and war did wage;
The dwarves must battle the corrupted.
Goblins and their adopted humans,
General Nil Ringedclutches did assault.

Three centuries passed in peace,
But Evil slowly crept through the soil
Soon, a human took the throne.
Her reign fell short, her heir, her daughter.

Child taken early by the malignant
No creature could suspect
The horrors that lay dormant
In this small child’s innocent mind.

Led Shakeoars did take the throne.
Heart black with the Evil Darkness,
The Foul One and Ura consumed her soul
For thirty years her morals eroded.

Her hatred of the dwarves
Fueled by a burning passion.
Vengeance for the Foul One against
Dwarves who fought so bravely

The Oar of Ankles did found,
Battlefailed.
By Queen Led’s command
Dwarves did settle in their graves.

Chapter Three: The Battle for Battlefailed.

Sooo... What's actually happening in the fort, Mego?

Mego? Who is this Mego of which you speak? Oh! That one! Haven't heard from him in centuries!

[Mego]

I told you guys I was going to be gone all of yesterday and today. There's no time to play Dwarf Fortress when there is testing to do!

(I was at an academics competition. There were a lot of tests.)

Well the science hasn't been done and we haven't made a neat gun!

[Mego]

Of course we did not accidentally physics and rip the school in half turnways...

...and by the time you're all back from clicking that link, I should have an update up.

[ThatAussieGuy]

I'm back!  I'm relatively immune to TVTropes now - I've wandered through most of it already

[Eric Blank]

And I just plain get bored of it.

Also, why have there been like 50 pages since last time I was here?  0.0

I only see 32 total.

I see 106.

Nay magma is too good for him. Give him to the goblins.

My skills at precise counting clearly show I should be put in charge of a delicate megaproject.

I move to have CatalystParadox appointed henceforth as the sole supervisor of all megaprojects ever.  Because clearly those amazing counting skills are awesome.

[Mego]

I ended up sleeping for most of today, to make up for the sleep I haven't gotten in the past week. We'll see how things go tonight.

[Mego]

Ok, I'm just going to post the save now, from nearly the end of summer. I am really sick, and don't have the energy to do any updates. I don't want this fortress to stagnate because of me. So, someone else can take the reigns for a while.

Damnit, the save is on the Linux side (again), and I'm on Windows. Blargh.

[Reudh]

The curse...
