sorry if this shouldn't be posted here, but I want to help my friend.

My friend was kicked out of his house (at age 15) he is currently staying at his cousin's house, but everything he owns is being thrown out/sold. If you can donate, donate to avlepape@gmail.com on paypal.

I feel fine, it's just when ever something doesn't go right or I make a mistake I feel depressed. Sometimes I'm fine after a bit, but most of the time I feel awful through the rest of the day.
I also have aspergers, I don't know how it effects me, I just know I've diagnosed with it.

I just need help.

rules: http://jesterraiin.dropmark.com/167650/2976489
my rules:
1.please don't join in the middle of a game, (game in progress)
2.keep track of your own willpower (current willpower:[number])
3.for skills and obsession please format them like this
optional rule: john can die, I'll leave this up to the current GM to decide john's hp (please set it to a reasonable number, and have damage be reasonable) if john dies the player with the most points wins

If you don't want to bid, just say no bid
bidding goes until the gm stops it

with magic coming into DF (eventually) I think it would be interesting to get golems in the game officially (of course due to magic being procedurally generated some worlds will have them others will not)

some ideas:
-may be made out of any material
-able to do any labor other than medical and noble positions (jobs available depend on golem)
-does not need to eat/drink, but does need to be magically recharged every few weeks
-may give positive feelings to a dwarf that likes golems.
-may give negative feelings to a dwarf the detests golems.
-a golem can be made to resemble any animal (larger sizes require more materials) (will also give positive/negative feelings to dwarves depending on the animal)
-can become pets (animal golems only)

I'm just wondering if anyone is interested in playing everyone is john.
I'm busy for the rest of the month, so I don't for see this happening any time soon

look at the announcements page, I somehow managed to move a post there (all I did was change the name of a topic I made) now I can't move it back to the fortress mode discussion. has this happened before because I need to know what to do to fix this and what will happen because of this.

so I stated a new world for the update and started a new fortress to figure out the new mechanics. in a random hill that goes up 3 z levels there is the first layer of the caverns (its accessible without digging and it doesn't go deeper)

this happen to anyone else

so an interesting update. Apparently there is a hydra chilling out in the open (on the surface, in a forest) and there was an announcement I missed saying I discovered a cave and a lair. so current theory is that somehow part of the surface is a cave (when I started digging there was sand left behind from digging stone walls, like a cavern) and the hydra's lair is in the surface cave.

so far the hydra has just been chilling, I hope it stays chilling because it will rip my 7 dwarves apart.

edit: some pictures, https://imgur.com/gallery/Hnpe2

edit 2: turns out I was right, the hydra killed a jaguar and came back to it's original spot. surface cave, no clue how this happened.

edit 3: turns out the passage actually did lead to the caverns, I know this because an elk bird got killed by the hydra

so here is just a few things I would like to see in DF with gods
Dwarf mode
1)randomly generated temple requirements (non-specific temples will not be as good as temples to specific gods, each god needs specific things for a temple, like death god needs coffins/bone things, war god needs weapons/armors,etc.)
2)crusades (with the army arc done, why not have certain religions attack to purge heretics, other religions are more likely to crusade than others)
3)race/culture exclusive religions (dwarves won't worship a sun god but will worship a mining god, a certain region worships a hero local to that region as a god)

Adventure mode
1) bring back religion
2) offerings (make offerings to gods, whether that is life or item, can make a god happy)
3)intervention (a god decides to intervene with something whether that is good for you or bad for you)
