You know after reading that combat log thoroughly I have one question to ask. Why (before I was stabbed in the head) was I wearing an Elk Bird leather dress?

I might have really cocked this up, the pressure plate is now preventing the flood corridor from properly draining. i didn't take into account that as it drains, water will fluxiate between 6/7 and 7/7 causing multiple trigger signals to open the cristen floodgates

You came that way :-P. I didn't assign it. I' physically can't GET to the pressure plate to disable it, so I disconnected the pumps and openedthe drainage floodgate. In theory, once water dropsto 6/7 all around,I should be able to get in and deconstruct the plate.

I need a successor I need to see how many Dwarves will die under my name (also it means people CAN punish me by making him work on the hell walls) also I thought the hell walls were complete? :3 Also that dress makes me wonder if I was a chick. I never remember to check half my dwarves genders.

Hrm, dwarfs dying under your name?

No problem.

You are now Lolor 'zacen299 II' Gusiltat, sheriff, but preferred to be known as Dwarf Slayer. You already have one kill (a dwarf) to your name and will likely kill many more due to beatings or prisoners starving to death.

EDIT: The save just bugged up royally. Granted I've never gotten a baron before, so this may be off base, but Instead of getting the duchy promotion (and having a dwarf promoted to said postition and I was prompted to select a dwarf), Erica was promoted to count instead, complete with message.

Wait wasn't she already Count? Or some other noble position? Regardless that is messed up. Edit: Also what did the Dwarf do that I murdered?

Last I remember, Erica was Baroness and I was count. Since I died they may have been looking for a replacement.

When I got the save, the nobles screen listed corsac as "a county", and Erica as "a barony". When corsac committed suicide by goblin, he disappeared off the nobles screen. Now it currently reads "a county" only, with Erica listed.

I was under the impression that the baron was always upgraded to count (and the wiki suggests that's what supposed to happen), so having a separate baron/count seems to have been a bug in the first place and the game auto-corrected. The other side of it is there's a long standing bug that if a promoted noble (baron/count/duke) dies, the game never replaces them. Either way, the game bugged up hard on this. I suspect a lot of this may be due to the fort is in reclaim mode which causes our wealth to be "odd" (it only counts wealth created since the reclaim and not whats present).

I *never* had a DF2010 game successfully get a promotion so it seems a bit odd that Swordthunders managed to go all the way to county (twice!) without a bug-up.

If we loose the count, I recommend a temporarily raw fix so we can appoint a new one. (process is making the postition appointable by the mayor, appointing the person, then restoring the raws to as is; then again, I also always fix elves/humans diplomats, and in 2010, used dfhack fixwagons.).

EDIT: Forgot to mention: zarcen, your dwarf beat Squirrelliod to death.

I thought the hell walls were complete?

They were, but a few overseers have made breaches in them to try and drain Hell of magma.

Speaking of which, how's Hell look right now, NCommander?
