So I'm dead again? Great. All I want for Christmas is enough time alive to write a living diary entry.

By the time it's Christmas you'll have gone through at least another half-dozen incarnations. Should be plenty of stuff for a diary in there.

Don't worry; dead people can write diaries too! Just possess some poor bastard or manifest some RAGE and scribble on stone slabs you hide in deep crevices.

Or, if you want to cut out the middleman (with a spoon), you could do what I did and engrave your thoughts on the firmament of reality itself.  Be advised, however, that you then take full responsibily for any instability you cause or eldritch horrors you release.

I still have no god damn idea about my schedule for the next few weeks. So just to be safe, bump me down one spot whenever a turn is finished and it'd be my turn until I post that I got time to play.

You know, after reading through that WMG on Tvtropes about TAD, I just came up with an alternate explanation for how he never seems to die.

He's a dwarven version of Doctor Doom!

He hasn't been killing and taking the place of random migrants, those were all actually DoomAussiebots. It stands to reason therefore, that the real Aussie Dwarf has never appeared in the Battlefailed Saga.

I want to tell you they were bad men, cephalo.  I want to tell you that with a better overseer the Fortress never would've gotten so bad someone would get offed in a pointless fisticuffs.
But the sad truth charlie?
It was inevitable.

Except for his very first appearance before migrating in an earlier chapter. It always goes like that.

Hello everyone,

imgur seems to have eaten my photos for summer.  So those are gone. :(

Kar made his artifact just fine, don't worry.  He won't die from that.  The poisonous glass spider lurking in the magma plumbing, now, that's definitely a danger. :)

2 more FBs showed up down in the caverns.  I think the total is about 8 now.
Spoiler (click to show/hide)

I tried to wrap up dealing with the two sewer-loving FBs.  One of them is walled off in the waterwheel room on 111:
Spoiler (click to show/hide)

The pet goose in there tried to go for a swim in the pretty water and managed to attract the attention of the 2nd FB, the aforementioned poisonous glass spider.  For his sins he gets to starve with the FB.  The spider chased the goose around a bit and is now camped out at the bottom of the magma plumbing on 110, the same level as the forges. You can see the bottom of the alternate staircase a bit up and to the right of the FB:
Spoiler (click to show/hide)

I've tried to ID and block off places where the plumbing opens up into the fort, but there are a ton of places where that happens, especially in the upper soil levels  The mining areas had several convoluted paths involving different staircases and 1-tile ramps that would let the FBs into the fort, so I've just blocked off the lower mining areas. I don't think that made it impossible for the dwarfs in the lower living quarters to get back into the main fort (and food stockpiles), but if that did happen they've got some food down there so there's some time before they starve.

The alternate staircase is not going well.  It seems like the dorfs are refusing to dig staircases unless they are on the same z-level as the staircase, not sure why. They'll happily mine it out once they're on the same z-level.  Alternate staircase is a bit east and north of the current 2-tile staircase.

Here's the current state of the fort.  Not to shabby, aside from the FBs running around. :)

Thanks for being understanding about not being able to finish a full year. I did manage to make it to early autumn, so there's only a season and a half that needs to be played.

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.

It still surprises me how far a simple joke about my dwarf avoiding all the bad stuff happening in Failcannon as evolved into this.

I know the feeling. It still surprises me how a single succession fort has evolved into a epic trilogy, the first two having been inducted into the Hall of Legends already.

It is a pretty epic trilogy, one must admit.

OK, I just realized why the alternate staircase wasn't going anywhere.  I assigned everyone to a whole-fort burrow to stop a mad lemming rush for dead skox bits or something.  The staircase must not be in the burrow.   :-[

For the next overseer, it's the burrow named WholeFort.

This fort really does sit on the event horizon of madness and catastrophe
No. I suppose there are similarities, but I'm fairly certain angry birds doesn't let me charge into a battalion of knights with a car made of circular saws.

Ieb has asked to be bumped down, so I guess Epithemius is next. Has anyone sent a message already?
