Okay. I've decided to try out this challenge to see if anything bad happens.
Freezing Glacier, Terrifying Surroundings. Oh yeah, that's what we want.Spoiler (click to show/hide)
However, there's already one problem:Spoiler (click to show/hide)
Today, I continue.

*Disclaimer: After seeing those ice wolf corpses I rushed things, so no pretty screenshots for Before shots. Lots of After shots though.*
Now by this stage I had already moved the founding seven into this icy cave into the side of the mountain, and set them to work on getting a still and a carpenter's workshop up and running. After getting a willow door up, time to lock everyone away from the outside!
Spoiler (click to show/hide)
The next logical step was to secure some sort of food supply.. or dig for magma. I chose the latter, and dug down.. to find a cavern and a passage.
Spoiler (click to show/hide)
Time to set up shop in the caverns! And by shop I mean permanent home. Until we find magma.

Dwarf me as:Your dwarf is 'Ulthed Nilthe' Ashokbim, the only mason in the founding seven.
Ulthed Nilthe
mason/Engraver
Do you have a smith? If so, please dwarf me as him/her, naming him/her GreatWyrm[metal or mineral the dwarf likes].Nobody has any points in smithing yet. However, two things to note:
1. In pretty much every regular fort I run, smithing is the primary goal of the fort - all metalworkers are cherished.
2. There is a lot of flux and iron ore in this glacier.
So, no worries. You will definitely get dwarfed as a smith. In this case, you're the expedition leader as well - 'GreatWyrmHematite' Monomakgos.
PS: there's a lot of hematite in this glacier.
Please dorf me as your most useless member, than please train him/her in combat skills, no weapons needed, I'm fine with unarmed. Name my dorf Nix.Your dwarf is 'Nix' Rigòthlar, 1 of 3 dabbling brewers, and an adequate fighter to boot.

I wasn't sure if we'd be getting a dwarven caravan, so I asked our mason Ulthed Nilthe to handle architecture jobs as well. Considering that I asked him to build this trade depot out of ice, I'd say he's doing well.

Slightly later in the season, a trade caravan shows up! I open up the willow front door to invite them in. MrWillsauce is still updating records, so drastic action is called for. I order his chair to be deconstructed...

Since our challenge was to embark with a pick and a plump helmet, we lack an anvil to kickstart smithing. We have some dimple dye harvested from dimple cups down in these caverns, which come in useful as a bargaining tool with these traders. MrWillsauce manages to convince them to sell us some cave wheat seeds and a steel anvil for 4 bags of dimple dye and a bag of dwarven sugar. They seem pleased with their acquisitions. On their way out, guess who comes to greet them?

I later discover that a polar bear was mauled by the axedwarves as well.

MrWillsauce went to greet them, and managed to snare some edible goodies off them. Lots of common aboveground plants, but no sun berries yet. Not expecting that, and we can't really use that until we get some sunlight poking down into our caves. Or we can just live off the elves.
Trading must have tired MrWillsauce out, as he flopped down on his bed after trading with the elf merchants.

I only wanted the adamantine goods to improve the quality of our bookkeeping, not to be selfish. Rise up! Revolt against the evil GWH!Says the guy with a cartass and candy is too expensive to use for other stuff than armor and swords.

First entry
"Last months were good, I made clay statue of the something like beast or so... Whatever, it looks not bad. Card is take care of kid, I killed a troll by stabbing him with silver large dagger... Hmm, I must ask for better weapon, that dagger should be remelted into hammer or mace.
I still wonder was a good idea to arrive here, I heard voices that wanted it. But why? This place isn't safest fortress in the world... Well, maybe I'm here do defend my countrymen from that all evil, yea, but they didn't have to embark here. I don't know what Overseer plans, I will just do what I have to do.
I heard about one of dwarves made a artifact bone greaves and overseer want to give it to me, well... it looks really good and it is always some protection.

Advising the dwarves while they build the fortress is very different from ordering them to produce a personal lavish tomb and bedroom. Whatever power you have, you are most certainly abusing."Lavish?" I suppose I was the one who asked for an adamantine sarcophagus, table, and throne? No, wait, I asked for a simple coffin and coffer made from a lovely red stone. And some metal bars.
And a coffin which you will inhabit if you keep up your hypocrisy.

"The Room of Seas," a slate slab.
This is a slate slab. All craftdwarfship is of average quality. It is shaded in dimple dye.
On the object is an image of a pressure plate, a door, and a hatch in slate. The pressure plate is linked to the door and hatch. This image relates to the drowning of accused criminals in the near future.
On the object is a a an image of a tank in dimple dye. The tank is full of water. On the object are words in slate. The words are crudely drawn.
Spoiler: Pic (click to show/hide)

Written Proposal:
We should construct a bedroom, engraved with fine images and adorned with lovely furniture. There will be two statues and a pressure plate in between, such that a dwarf can only reach the bed by stepping on the pressure plate. The pressure plate will be linked to a hatch in the ceiling and to the door, such that stepping on the plate causes the room to be sealed off and flooded. The bedroom will be assigned to any dwarf in need of execution.

There would still be drowning, it's just that if the hatch/door is pressure plate operated, then yes, normal dwarves wouldn't go in there, but a new migrant, trying to find a proper room to claim, might.Extra benefit!
Alright, let's out it to a vote of the citizens...Shall we use proper parliamentary procedure?
I move to the previous question.
Post by: crazysheep on October 20, 2012, 08:52:23 pm
I have 100 hours to finish off a major assignment. There will be no updates until then, but here's a teaser image for what's coming next for the fort:
(http://i444.photobucket.com/albums/qq165/kyp2055/The%20Pick%20and%20The%20Plump%20Helmet/123/mood2_zps133993d4.png)
There are two keywords in that announcement that almost every overseer wants to hear BTW :)
Wall of dorfing requests:
Lovely fort you have going on here, even the wilddead are nice! I might see about getting dorfed...I'd like to be a hunter, but that would be suicide at best (if a hunter 'kills' undead animals, will they bring back the remains?). Maybe a dwarf with some hunting skill, but turned off for now...yes, that would be an idea. Call him/her Kirby.We have a couple of hunters, I can dorf you as one of them and let you know who you get in the next update.
Also, there appears to be an issue with the images for updates on page...huh. I just checked and I guess they're normal now. Never mind then.
I believe they will haul hunted corpses back to the butchers. Although we have a self raising biome, there is a significant lag between death and reanimation, and so we should be able to safely butcher any undead ice wolves. All I'd have to do is to relocate the butchers and tanners nearer to the entrance and we should be able to get some
As for the images, I think that's because I was reorganising pictures into albums in photobucket, so some of the links would have broken. I'll try and fix those.
Hmm... what this fort could use is some surface section, but that's AFTER we get an obsidian production underway... nothing like a fairly dark tower to fit with the terrifying surroundings!We could do an ice citadel on the surface. This fort is run in 0.34.07 (mainly because that was the version I had when I saw the challenge), so ice is plentiful.
As for dorfing, I'll take a dorf if possible. (Chances are good I'll be a XXdwarf corpseXX by the end of dorfing #1, but eh...)
I'll dorf you and let you know who you get in the next update.
This fortress is thriving in a Terrifying Biome? Lovely.Thriving.. kinda - we're getting migrants now :D
Dwarf me, if you wish, as a female, preferably military.
And are unfortunate accidents applicable to your mandaters?
We have a couple of female dwarves with military skills, I can dorf you as one of them and let you know who you get in the next update.
As for unfortunate accidents, they shouldn't happen.. not yet :P
Wall of other requests:
Written Proposal:We can always include a door in the design and forbid the door under normal circumstances. When the room needs to be used, designate the bedroom and unlock the door to the bedroom.
We should construct a bedroom, engraved with fine images and adorned with lovely furniture. There will be two statues and a pressure plate in between, such that a dwarf can only reach the bed by stepping on the pressure plate. The pressure plate will be linked to a hatch in the ceiling and to the door, such that stepping on the plate causes the room to be sealed off and flooded. The bedroom will be assigned to any dwarf in need of execution.
He is a criminal. Faking is a crime! He didn't even get punishment. Please, at least just lock him out in the snow for a week or something! Or just a tiny little training hammer beating?I could.. facing undead ice wolves that might be sufficient punishment :P
Overseer is not that mean.. not yet :P
Metal pumpstack from the sea to the surface!And make a ring of fire around the fort? This might be viable.
I request:Will do the import request when the next dwarven caravan rolls around. As for weapons and armour, forging should be able to start soon, as we have steel already.
Some wolf meat to be imported from mountainhome.
a good weapon and armor.
I request a lever in my personal bedroom that opens/closes the front gates.A lever to open and close the willow door standing between us and the outside world? Hmmm.. why not?
Can I request something? I would like a helm, so that way I would be less likely to die.One steel helm, on the way.

New idea: I propose that every dwarf's bedroom come equipped with a lever controlling the front gate/door. In some way or another, I guarantee that this will save the fort years from now.
I second this motion, even if I haven't actually been dorfed yet.

Any kind of hammer. Just for business, it's nothing personal.

The good news is that I have finished the 100 hours required to finish off my project.
The bad news is that my laptop screen has died and I don't really plan to camp in uni computer labs all day long.. so there will be some delay in getting the next batch of updates out.
Have a pleasant day, and please continue sending ideas through for Shotgangs :)

Donuts: I authorize the forging of a hammer from our lightest metal for official use in justice. You may have a heavier hammer if you kill a goblin.Sure! I will then stand guard at le entrance :P

The bad news is that my laptop screen has diedI remember when my laptop's screen died on me. I wasn't able to get it fixed, and had to get a new computer. Of course, my old one was really old. Hope you can get yours fixed.

Year 3, Late Summer. After duly claiming a magma forge for himself, Bobnova started collecting cut gems and metal bars. I could only spare him iron, as we haven't had enough time to start steel production specially for him.

While he churned away in the belly of the mountain, more babies are being born, this time Mastahcheese has another child. Perhaps dwarves have too much time on their hands.. and perhaps they don't.
Finally, Ulzestusir was born!

Maybe the humans got wind of our achievement. They sent us another caravan..

And were promptly welcomed.

While the door was open Kirby ran out to hunt something.

With some luck the giant owl won't reanimate before the butchers get to it.. and that's all for the next update!
Dorfing requests fulfilled:
Kirby Shedfeb, resident hunter. You killed that snowy owl and are trying to drag it to the butcher's before it reanimates:

Cassandra Rìtharletmos, Competent Axedwarf. It appears you have a talent for killing male goblins:

NESgamer Oslanmìshos, Dyer. You like brown recluse spider silk, but not brown recluse spiders. Best not to let you see how we get silk for your clothes then.. :P

Oh, this is an interesting game! I'd like to request a dorfing, name: Inspiredsimji, profession: Bookkeeper (is that still available? If not, I'll take a mason.)
No bookkeepers left, so you'll be a mason. It seems that you enjoy the food here :P:

In the next updates I hope to get the levers up to control the front door. I am looking to replace the front door with metal or stone doors as well. Steel production should start soon, after dealing with the potential micromanagement required to manage butchery and tanning.

Interesting that I've killed only female goblins whereas Cassandra's killed only male goblins (lots of them)...

Well, now I have one. GO GO MAGMA!!Metal Puncher Tomio has made a mandate. (or whatever.)You are not allowed to mandate anything before you got a sig! ::)
Tomio has demanded the following:
Three magma forges (0/3)
Six magma smelters (0/6)
