dorf me a butcher!
.........I FEEL ODD NOW.
I can imagine Corai and Fishybang on there first date.
"Hey Co-"
"BIRD"
"Hey Co"
"FISH"
"..."
"Yes?"
"Well I just wanted to say-"
"GIANT BIRD-FISH!"
Oh god.
"Hey Corai the II"
"HI FRIEND LOOK WHAT I MADE ITS A PRETTY BIRD, MOM GOT HUGGED BY IT, BUT NOW SHES TAKING A NAP. SHE SPILLED A JUICE BOX TOO, BUT ITS RED."
"Okay....Okay.....the only sane person in my family is dead.....please let those goblins get here soon"
I wonder what Fishybang and Corai's every-day life are like now that there lovers.

I dont thank I want to thank about that :P
Ok. I need to be dwarfed in this. Is the Sun of the two migrants claimed? If not, Athra shall be his new name. If that is ok with you, that is.
I have a idea for the kiddies.
Make a 3z level drop and fill it with stray dogs, 1 tile. Drop all kids in it and about 20 dogs/puppies. By the time they grow up they will ATLEAST be a competent fighter, striker, dodger, and wrestler with "doesnt really care about anything anymore." because his friends, his fellow children, will likely die of dog, infection, or insanity.

I am opposed to this because I will be included in that group. Why not a small nursery with three table/chairs a food stack pile and . . . . . cloths. i found out kids dont like not having access to cloths.

-Diary of CoraiUnki, Entry Three-
Hi diary! Today I noticed all the kids in the fortress, and got a idea, why not put them all in a hole with some pet dogs and have them all be friends and play! I left a note on Cilob's desk, I hope he likes it. I also noticed our big thrip friends keep dieing, its sad. But I guess they have to leave eventully. MAYBE WELL FIND A GIANT FLUFFY WOMBLER! I also got a idea for the fortress what all these goblins keep coming for our kids, I guess there lonely. We can make a pit a few levels deep, put some thrips and other animals in there, and put the goblins in. It would be so cute watching them play together! I should bring that up with cilob! And Im gonna ask if I can go foraging in my spare time, its so booring sitting around in the dining room. I would much rather be finding strawberries and Prickle berries. They make such wonderful wine! Well bye diary, byeeeeeeee!
Oh and stop reading this guys! I know your reading it!
I will stop reading it when I am done writing.
"Well, talking to the thrips didn't work out too well. They don't like secrets, they don't like hugs, and then they die. So... hello Mr Syrup Barrel. I'm not expecting you to be the sort of friend who likes secrets or hugs either, but I can steal syrup out of you, so that's enough."
"..."
"My crossbows have been used in battle now, Mr Barrel! Isn't that exciting? Some of my bolts are stuck in a goblin!"
"..."
She glares at the barrel for a while, and then shrugs, and dips in a finger to steal another taste.
"I'm starting to see why the others just keep a journal. Barrels are no fun."
Chief Medical Officer's Log, Brightwater, Cain
It appears that I have been lax in my assigned duties. No matter, with the final construction of the hospital things have been quite busy as of late. Repeated attacks by giant pests and goblins have fortunately kept people in harms way and me busy. It is a shame that my quarters cannot look out over or into the sea but I suppose some things are not worth asking about. I am concerned with the lack of genetic diversity in this place, hopefully we can have some purging menace come and rebalance things.
With the aid of Cilob our information regarding several of the local species has increased. This knowledge could be expanded, however my older plans for the extreme environment chambers would need to be adapted to work for this area before they could be submitted. Fortunately work with the goblins has proven fruitful and I can without doubt say that they have no souls. The reason for this, be it some freak genetic weakness on their part, or by means of a demonic pact has yet to be determinted.
As always, sublimely joyful I am me.
Cain

Yeah, just read that. About all I can say is that was awesome. :D

I was listening to mamma and Pappap talken and they said that the Gobels were commin, that they always commin. So I sat around thinkin. I though and though and thunk until my I was tired. I got so tired that I feel down the stairs. It hurt a lot but Mr. Cain said I would be fine. Then I got an idea. What if I fell from higher. it would hurt even more. I might not even be able to walk. It hurt so much that I might not be able to move. If a Gobel would have seen me then, I would be finished. Then I thoough, what if it was a Gobel instead of me? Then it would be finished! It would be hurt so bad even I could fight it and win. Can we have a Gobel pit? Please?
-Athra
Cutebold zooo!!!!!! We can have them all in one cage, and goblins in another, and trolls in a third!!!!
Enjoy your vacation! :)
An image of silver fists? Never seen that before, interesting.
EVERYONE GET TO BOMB SHELTERS, MY IDEA WILL LIKELY INVOLVE ELVES, GOBLIN CORPSES, AND SEVERAL BUCKETS OF GASOLINE!
Two caverns breached?
Two caverns breached?
Technically all three, since that deep pit connects the second and third cavern layers. Haven't breached magma or found adamantine yet.
What? No! I'm not going to tell you about me and Erush. There's nothing that the fort needs to know about.
The coat? Well yes, he made the coat for me. Where else was I supposed to get a new coat from? Everybody wears clothing made by Erush now. There's nothing more to that.
Stop that! Change the subject please.
Oh, yes, Cilob's map. I did see that.
It was quite interesting really. You'd think that it would be pointless to put up a hand drawn map of a fort we all live in. I mean, we walk these corridors every day, so we ought to know what it all looks like. But then I honestly hadn't noticed how much of a jungle the kitchen is until I saw all those carefully drawn fungus patches on the map. Amazing how changes like that can creep up on you! And who would have guessed that all that stuff was going on in the deep mines? I bet there are some really cute creatures in those caverns!
I love those adorable things too, but have you ever heard of Adamanite? I overheard Cilob muttering on about how "Risk is profit" or something like that. I'm worrying for his sanity. The things that stone does to a dwarf's mind is awful.
......Erush is nice, aint he?

I bet that giant opal theropod monster is cuddly! Oh, and don't worry! I'm sure we can trust Phenix not to do anything dangerous down in the mines, such as digging up ancient forgotten terrors or making secret goblin processing facilities. She would never do that!
just my job.
thats a lot of civilizations there. has anyone popped-up with no blood?
ah. good. what do the legends say about that?
Requesting a dwarf!
Simon McWhale
No preference. Daenyth will be fine.
Mom said my writting was really bad. She had me work on it all month. I wish she wouldn't read it in the first place. Its my diary jurnal anyway.
I heard that Rakust had gotten hurt yesterday. I will take her some plum helmet and rum to make her feel better. I hope she does.
Dwarf me as Jacen the soap crusader, AKA an axedwarf. Have him make soap in his spare time.
If you have an unassigned male swordsdwarf, I would like to claim him and name him Va'al.
Hey can you give my smith a foreign weapon of some sort? :D
When I saw Phones got hurt, I expected to see her heart. Hows the fortress over-all doing?
I'll take the expedition leader/trainer. I loves me some training, now, where are those gremlins?
That would be great. Any non-essential job is fine, and I'd prefer a male dwarf.If you have an unassigned male swordsdwarf, I would like to claim him and name him Va'al.I have no other swordsdwarves at the moment. Would you like a civilian dwarf to pick up training with swords from scratch? If so, preferred gender and civilian job, if any?

hmm, in that case, I'll take the next trainer to come along. I will stick to my roots. Name him Weiss Ironcage
I was not initially planning to make Geb the Baroness. I had some other ideas, but really didn't have a firm plan for what to do. When in doubt I try to base the narrative on how Dwarf Fortress works. In DF, at least in theory, noble positions are passed by inheritance. It doesn't seem to work that way reliably, but that's clearly the intent. So I traced the family tree of the dwarf who was supposed to be the Baroness originally, and was quite astonished to find that Geb was the only eligible candidate to inherit the position.

And this method has got you a baroness who will, according to the preferences string, demand fresh electrum animal traps every season. Oh, and crossbows of course. Lots and lots of crossbows. Ones made of alpaca wool.
A morningstar seems most smith-like!
How is my dwarf doing?
I'll like a dwarf Alkhemia anything you want no preferences

Cobalt?
WHAT! WHY NO BLUE BLOOD???
We have also learned some important bits of dwarven science. For one thing, it appears that crabs have white blood.Spoiler (click to show/hide)
Also OOC: Is that a nest box in the baronial bedroom?
Apparently a baroness doesn't get official advisors. We're expected to manage things a bit more informally, so instead of an advisor, I've got... Corai.
It could be worse.
I've been trying to figure out how to react to the elves. They're so... unpredictable! How can you ever trust somebody who is honest and helpful, but then does stuff that you can't understand, seemingly without reason?
Talking to Corai is remarkably useful for working on this problem.

hi i wouldn't mind getting the super injured dwarflet, name her Hilde and as soon as she is of age can you set her up as a flail user.
This magnificent fortress wouldn't happen to have an unclaimed (and preferably male) Mechanic present, would it?
If dorfing requests are still a thing, I'd like to be dwarfed as "Graknorke" or, if you think it's sound better, seperating it into two seperate names? I tried but can't come up with much in the way of suggestion.
As a dwarf, probably one from outside the big family and with a sort of tropical complexion (Dark hair, dark eyes etc), and as a profession, a brewer who has a BIT of an obsession with surface plants. Otherwise some other profession who generally wants to be going on ADVENTURE but is also somewhat competitive about his job.
Could you perhaps dorf me as a random dorf, not part of the huge family? (The ambitions will come later!)
This is a small pamphlet found on Cilob's bed while he slept, the door had been picked and opened. The pamphlet concerns the fortress's future.
I suggest we create a small squad of five or so "elite" dwarves restricted to a "mini" fort, with booze and drink dumped in through the roof. They will spend years in isolation to become friends with eachogher and train. This friendship will boost there morale as they are released in the event of our army's imitate defeat. Cruel? Not at all! What is nicer then giving a dwarf his own personal safe-hole?
This is a picture of dwarves and goblins, the goblins are fleeing, the dwarves are charging. Dwarves lye dead in the background.
I suggest, if we have not already, flood a small area of the fort with seawater and have our fishermen fish only there, this will protect our innocent people. If someone is stupid enough to fall in, let the fish have them!
This is a picture of a underground lake.
Lastly, I suggest we produce more strawberry wine.
This is a picture of smiles, it spikes with pure-childness.
We have one fairly skilled mechanic, Kulet Keludar, male. He is however a deeply seated member of the royal family, being married to Fath Laratis, daughter of the late King, and having a large number of children, brothers, and sisters around the fortress. He's yours if you want him.He will do nicely.

I'll claim this dwarf. Name him "ObeseHelmet." Just checking that he's not too thin, right? Because that would be kind of embarrassing. After all who wants a thin dwarf?
If there are any military spots open, I'd actually like the guy to be a somewhat blasphemous dwarf. A speardwarf with ambitions to elvendom. (Yes I know this will make the guy alienated by the entire community but so what? I just want to give an elflover a try!)
He would prefer a wooden weapon, but will settle for a metal one if really necessary. Preferably a very good metal one. Like copper.
"Athra Udibenor, Peasant" sounds okay, if not male then, "Sigun Uzolamas, Mason" hopefully is. There's a 75% chance ONE is so I'll go with that.
k Then ill take a male dorf with a magnificent beard who has a huge hatred for the surface dwellers.
id still like him to use that Flail thanks. can yo call him Higginbottom III please.

I finally decided on Urist Kadolfeb, Male Mason and left the rest of my thought process for posterity.
If Obsese doesn't want Tirist due to his size, I'll have him.
If Obsese doesn't want Tirist due to his size, I'll have him.
No, I decided that Tirist would be the perfect dwarf for my elf-loving dwarf of blasphemy. His width doesn't even match his name.
Hopefully he will exercise little enough to get fatter. . . .
This started as a fishing fort.
Now its a military outpost.
if your going to make them trainable higginbottom would love to have a war pangolin, or even better a war giant badger the dwarfiest of beasts.
Is the militia commander, Morul Cattendoren, still available for dorfing?
Any chance of a rendition of the movie Birds any time soon? :P
Also, dwarfing request:
Male, named Ash, a swordsdwarf if one is available, a marksdwarf if not.
For now though i would like to be dorfed...
Prefrences to a military dwarf if there are any left... if not a simple miner or mason as long as i dont end up a useless hauler... any family relations will do
dwarf women also grow beards, so nobody will know the diffrenceNo they don't, unless you've done some modding. Take a look at the raws if you don't believe me.
We're out of military dwarves, Risen Ellesttekkud (Great Miner, Competent Mason) looks like a good choice. You want 'Maxmurder' or a different name?
If you can, please dorf me into that female militia commander. Call her 'Fritz'.
Ellesttekkud it is! and Maxmurder is fine for a name!
If you feel that the military is too big, give me an assistant doctor instead who desires to conduct revolutionary studies such as the effect of alcohol on a surgeon's precision mid-surgery.
Note: If this gets in the way of anything you have planned, I'll happily ret-con it out. It was mainly just there so Corai would have a reason to FTFO. I like mentally unstable Corai.
Heh, completely forgot someone was named phones. You can changes Phenos to Kylin if it helps avoid confusion. I don't wanna be a hassle.
Just be careful to keep them away from necromancers, or you might end up with one of these (http://kol.coldfront.net/thekolwiki/index.php/Malevolent_Tofurkey) on your hands...Spoiler (click to show/hide)
ooc: Tofurkeys? Wha? do they have organs at least, or are they some kind of horrible, mobile, lardlike Giant Sponges?
so quick question has higginbottom been givin his giant armored war pangolin or not?
Are there any free non-important military male dwarves yet? If yes, name one 'Tehsapper' and set his profession 'Monkdwarf'. Then remove all weapons (maybe except shields) from his inventory and hand him a good quality robe. If there are multiple chooses, choose the most reserved and calm one.
As head guard and peacekeeper of this fortress I request bears of some type be added to my squads ranks.
I actualy would like my dorf's name to be changed to 'Kylin' to avoid confusion.
FYI, I actually am reasonably anti-elf as my normal DF-playing self. I just wanted to try on the elf obsessed persona, just this once.
I call dibs on war wolves.
I.....am perfectly......sane........

Can Giant Sponges be tamed as guards for an underwater entrance? We might be on the way to war whales, but Sponges could be useful as essentially stationary gun turrets. Pasture a few in a drained area around a sea entrance, then quickly reflood to avoid dry drowning? (having not successfully dry-drowned anything before, I'm a bit hazy on how fast that takes.)
I doubt it, since in order to tame an animal you have to get it inside a cage first, and unless you designate the cage to be placed on top of the sponge I don't see how it would trigger a trap.
Please enable the fishing labour on Urist McWhale! Make sure you have a zone designated by the ocean. Maybe make a long pire into the ocean , if that worksThat's not a bad idea - fish is great brain food, and dwarves need all of the brains they can get.
Did I start out with hammerdwarf skill? Or have I not been making enough swords?
Did I start out with hammerdwarf skill? Or have I not been making enough swords?
Daenyth started out as a hammerdwarf, but has been using a sword for some time now. You just haven't gotten enough skill with the sword to change your job title yet.
There will be no giant sponges appearing. Before starting I modded sponges out completely, on account of them being horribly broken and not handled at all correctly in DF. Sorry. Didn't want to see half the fortress killed while completely pointlessly trying to attack a sponge.
I'd prefer a male if possible, but whatever. I know all the military dwarves are taken, so i'd like a non-military non-"family" dwarf with all my useful labors turned on, but no hauling jobs. Also, none of the jobs where i'd come into contact with animal hair, as i'm allergic.
Just name him dex if you've got one.
Our only available male adult dwarf who is not part of the 'family' is Zaneg Cerolkonos. Currently working as a miner, mason, and glassmaker, as well as other odd jobs. He is married to Deduk Kadolstakud, who is also not of the family, and has one daughter: Rigoth Tishaktobul. Zaneg is average in size, with very long, neatly combed hair. He doesn't handle stress well, is friendly, rarely happy, candid, and compassionate. Want him?sounds JUST like me. I'd love him.
Cain, I sneaked a glimpse at this on a school computer.lucky. my school says bay12 is a game site.
Thanks alot! I got yelled at because of you.

it might be but i dont know...
in responce to sponges i had a fort where the ONLY combat was a raven trying to eat a sponge. imagine, 50+ pages of a raven dropping a sponge.
Finally, it let go, though not before being fatally injured. He noted, poking the corpse with his boot, that its blood was white after all, not blue as some old tales had predicted it should be.
sounds JUST like me. I'd love him.
Horseshoe crab blood totally IS blue, but looks more like blueberry milk than say neon blue. Probably an oversight by Toady more than anything else.

Can I get a Fisherdwarf? Name him "Kelli", make sure he loves the ocean (and hopefully unrelated to the sprawling family tree). More than happy to catch whatever monster of the deep you need. "Even wrestled with a legendary carp by gum! Had killed 7 dwarves already, but I jumped in after 'im and pulled it out by me beard. I figger I can handle one o' these whales if I need ta."

Damnit Cain, you beardless Elf, get in here and help me!
And about my Goblin Friend.......
howmany pots do we have.
would you mind terribly posting the pages for my wife and child please?
It'd help me get into character. Also, who my child hangs out with would be nice too.
How fares McWhale? I hope he's getting into fishing and just spending all his time fidgeting with his mace.
Also, can i claim dwarf? I'd prefer male one either big family related or not. Call him Count (hope it doesn't bother with story-otherwise call him Uranis) and make him do metal crafts(neither armor nor weapons) or balcksmithing.
Tricky. The only unclaimed male dwarves we have are Rovod Berdanurist, Mason, and Urdim Uzolmonang, Farmer. Both of them are members of the family, with wives and children. Neither of them is a metalcrafter, but since we have no metalcrafters anyway I can give that job to them. We may also get immigrants soon too, since I increased the population cap, although that might take a year to kick in.
Ok, let's just wait for some newbies to arrive.
I say, How is the work on my room comming along?
by the way, do we plan on breaching the HFS and releasing the clowns?
Oh, i'd like to claim Urist Ostarmedtob! And, if it doesn't bother you, please, can you show me his and his daughter's personality screens?
what are my guys stats now? and also whats my name? i forgot :'(.
If there are any war giant badgers left, I'd like a couple of them.
Did I have a mood yet?
Now Athra was deep in the mines beneath the fortress. He had snuck a look at the survey charts of the caravans, and picked an obscure spot of rock, an area that had been ignored for having no useful minerals, and with no plans for official construction. Now he hefted his new copper pick, and swung it at the rock face for the first time.What would the caravans know about the caverns? :)
Do we currently have a jail? If we don't I request one to be built with my room, office and dining room on the same floor.

I'll take Dodok the female trader if I may. Rename her Aira please. Have you hacked her into the fortress proper or will you let her hang around the edges of the map for now?
do you have a sheriff/ captain of the guard yet because if not id love to have Higginbottom become one.
kay can i be the hammerer instead?
if not can you put me in the guard squad please
I feel like I'm missing something, why does my dorf have the title of champion?
Can you dwarf me as a non crippled adult male? Any would do, just make it so he loves caverns.
Sure. :PCan you dwarf me as a non crippled adult male? Any would do, just make it so he loves caverns.
Can I pre-emptively draft this guy?
Quick note: if the Wallpotdwarf wants an accurate count of the pots in the fortress, they should be listed under "Tools" in the Stocks menu.

Making enough requests, people? Geez...
Just out of curiosity, what are my dwarf's stats in things?
Could I have a look at my dwarfs thoughts and kill list?
I'd like to see Corai's stats and relationships.
I'd like to ask the same, Sphalerite, if you don't mind.
While we're at it, could I please see my dwarf's equipment list for his brave voyage into the caverns? I'm assuming full leather, and a weapon of choice.
May i join Graknorke in the caverns? after all, he may go missing.if there's room, I'd love to join Granorke and Domas as well. outfit me however the captain sees fit. but after the expedition, i'd like to go back to civilian life.
also, who do i know agean?
im Domas. AseaHeru is more of a title.sorry, im horrible with names. nice to meet ya.
I'd like to be part of the expedition too. After all, I gotta convince dem cavern-lovahs there noddin' but filthy hell holes.

Fellow dwarves, did you know that beneath our feet is a huge habitat that we dwarves have a right to inhabit; and yet our ruling class have so far refused us access, but now the situation has changed and I am of the firm belief that we can start exploring this mighty network of caverns and fulfill our natural calling.
As the leader of this initial exploration; I shall be the one who arranges this with our overseer and baroness to come to a suitable conclusion where we can truly begin our expedition. The riches waiting are immense; from mineral, botanical and animal wealth; there is a huge new world below us sparking with possibilities. Names may be signed on the empty space provided.
All I can say for now is; let us strike the earth!
Graknorke, Champion of BrightWater
*scratched onto the poster is a Graknorke rendition of forgotten beasts and dwarves. The forgotten beasts are embracing the dwarves.*
*The forgotten beasts are embracing the dwarves.*You misspelled "striking down".
But our wonderful cave friends would NEVER do something like that to us! They are waiting to throw us a welcoming party and everything; they told me! Some of them will turn up late though... shame.*The forgotten beasts are embracing the dwarves.*You misspelled "striking down".
Wait, the intent is to make friends with the creatures of the underworld?But our wonderful cave friends would NEVER do something like that to us! They are waiting to throw us a welcoming party and everything; they told me! Some of them will turn up late though... shame.*The forgotten beasts are embracing the dwarves.*You misspelled "striking down".
It turns out that getting 5 dwarves to do something together is surprisingly difficult. I order them to station to a point, and maybe three show up, while the other two are drinking or sleeping. Then one of the other two shows up, and then one of the first three is hungry, or goes to sleep, or decides to replace his crossbow with a better one. The expedition is still happening, but one or more of the dwarves might get left behind for part of it.i dont mind getting left behind. i think it'd be quite funny.
BTW, can we mod in a repeating crossbow requiring insubordinate ammounts of parts but being massively overpowered? i mean like using several mechanisms, some leather, iron straps, bone and whatever else you can think of. oh, and containers holding 100 bolts before requiring reloading. dwarven machine-guns. or compressed air cannon.
I'm just trying to picture a towering feathered newt with a spiral shell. That's a very anatomically mixed-up creature.
Catch it! We can use it for training, and maybe some arena fun!
*a letter found etched on the floor by Corai's bed*
You see Corai? This is what happens when you label yourself as their enemy. They waltz right up out of wherever they were to try and kill you. You may well have ruined diplomatic relationships with the ancient cave dwellers. FOREVER.
On the other hand it was my expedition so it's my job to take care of you, even if it is only the doctor who can directly help.
Maybe I could ask some miners to quickly get some of that adamantine and use the thread to close up some of your wounds? You DID help to find it after all.
Don't die on my hands, and try to stay away from the caverns in future. I don't think you'll be welcome.
just a quick question here, every time a fight breaks out it sound like all of Higginbottoms kills get stolen by another dwarf.....
so could you post his kill list and inventory please
Could you show me Fritz's description, relationships and kills screen, please?
I find my sudden and utter demise extremely amusing.
Can you make it so that I'm a smelter/strand extractor? I want to see that my discovery of adamantine is put to good use.
Any plans to update the fort to the newest version? We need wheelbarrows to cart out as much adamantine as we possibly can!
so could you post his kill list and inventory please
Could you show me Fritz's description, relationships and kills screen, please?
OOC: did i gain any relationships at all with any of the other 4 who went down?
Requesting Ash #2.
Skills: Marksman, preferably from a migrant wave.
Custom Job: Professional Red Shirt.
Also, IIRC to catch ocean animals you need glass cages instead of metal/wooden ones, or your captive will die as it pulled out of water... Maybe you should leave 3/7 water level there?
Are we updating this thing to minecarts?
What labor have i mostly been doing since i got back?
And then, between the harrier brutes, for those who were not scared away by demons, he made the image of an elf.
I have killed a human as an elf, with a wooden sword. . . . . . and may splinters. many many splinters.And then, between the harrier brutes, for those who were not scared away by demons, he made the image of an elf.
In character: NOOO! BLASPHEMY!
OOC: What? Why would an elf scare anyone? They are armed with wood. Good luck getting killed by that even if you tried.

i've read this from the start, its great. can you get me a list of dorfs or childrens.
OCC: Hey sphalerite can i see my stats and friends?
I just caught up with this, could you dorf me as an animal trainer? I want a crack at training a whale. 8) I enjoy the fortresses that aren't purely militarily based.
Not at all. I'll take Iteb, could you rename her to Iteb McSock?I just caught up with this, could you dorf me as an animal trainer? I want a crack at training a whale. 8) I enjoy the fortresses that aren't purely militarily based.
Do you care about the gender? I can give you Iteb Ralukurdim, female, former outpost liaison and animal trainer.
My apologies for not having had time to work on the fortress this week, some emergency life stuff came up that has been keeping me completely occupied. I should be able to get back to it this weekend.
I vote that Erush is set aside and unable to be dorfed, he integrated into the fortress's story so far. Plus the name is flipping epic.I second this motion!

What're Saint's stats looking like right now? Friends, abilities, occupation...any mining or mechanical experience, in particular?
If it's not too much trouble, I'd like a short list of any remaining dwarves, with name and a sentence or two describing skills, preferences, etc. Thanks if you do, Sphalerite!

may i see my dwarves stats, thoughts, etc?
I don't really care what, as long as his name is Derm and he has a position that gets mentioned often.
I request to be married to Erush. If we are both male, I request a sex change.
Does Rakust like any metals? If so, name her "GreatWyrm[whatevermetalshelikes]," replacing the [whatevermetalshelikes] with the name of the metal she likes--e.g. GreatWyrmSilver, GreatWyrmCobalt, GreatWyrmArsenicBronze, etc. If not...um...if she likes any ores, use the metal associated with it, and otherwise...get back to me on that. She'll want to import a bunch of whatever metal she likes and try to make as much and as many different kinds of things out of it as she can and is allowed to.
BTW, what kind of gems do you want for eyes in that tin sea serpent I still owe you?
Isn't this the second artifact magnetite ring made in Brightwaters?
I thought this was a civilized fort. You will butcher defenselessness goblins, but wont train children to defend themselves using dogs? Thats just wrong!What's to say that this hasn't been happening as an experiment the good doctor has been running in Alpha Labs without anyone's knowledge?
Think about it, if you could maybe affix the inside onto something... you could move heavy things a lot faster!Just like a wagon, except you push it with your hands instead of having an animal pull it.
Control+F on the population lists didn't really come up with any.
TRAINING ANIMALS, DOUBLE TIME! I DO NOT WANT TO DIE!
On a preperation related note though, are cavern explorations a thing that are still happening or was that a one-off?
I want Corai to learn how to cut people apart with a axe.
Perhaps everyone wanting a weapon suddenly could be explained with a note of war from elves, or such? Cause its not very IC if everyone suddenly grabs a weapon.

Well for fishybang she's finely getting a weapon.

Why did I just imagine two dwarves side by side, one with a axe and one with a sword...
Are any plans for settling the caverns being...um...planned? If not, GreatWyrmMithril will suggest it.I'm pretty sure my dorf could put it forwards. IF there's a title of caverns operations manager. That is completely superfluous and the holder of which knows very lttle about what's REALLY going on.
Heh. Out dwarves should start a petition to settle the caverns. Could be interesting.Are any plans for settling the caverns being...um...planned?

like your tag.
KICK BITE SLASh POOP.
I think dex and his family would love to move into a large fungiwood hut underground. Should such a thing ever come to pass.Heh. Out dwarves should start a petition to settle the caverns.

Oooooh, Corai is gonna be madder than a elf in a termite mound....

You know what would be funny? A glamorous suite for Corai in the very depths of the caverns, for he certainly earned it. Wouldn't that be fun?
Sphalerite: Do we have sand?I see a few yellow ~/≈ characters outside, so I'm pretty sure we do have sand.
...That's before minecarts. So much for my idea of having minecarts drop sand bags down to the magma sea...It wouldn't have worked, anyways, due to a bug with bags popping out of minecarts. Once he upgrades, though, the fortress will get them automatically.
Wait, bags pop out of minecarts?Sorry, my mistake - one of the fixes in 0.34.11 was "stopped empty bags from popping out of carts".
I had the image of ObeseHelmet's dwarf riding a whale, brandishing a pointy stick at goblins until he realises that as long as he's riding the whale he's too far away from the goblins to poke them.
...War whales one rides would be awesome.
It's not abandoned, just on temporary hold until I figure out where I want the story to go, and find the time and energy to sit down to play DF and write again.
how am i?
also, only 2 pages?!?! its been 2 weeks!
still, what about the fans?
I'm not dead. Still have the fort saved, just have been too busy the last few weekends to be able to get any more updates done.
possably
Brightwater succession game, first overseer decided by letting people vote. Then everyone else just nabs their turns.Great idea! I might join.
Thats my suggestion.
