Sorry for thread necromancy, but it was either this or making a new thread. Which is kinda redundant.

At any rate, I am currently working on a massive statue of a dorf, kneeling and holding a bowl on his back (think Atlas), with two dorfs with jars pouring water into the bowl.

If I don't make this go massively cock-eyed, it will be grand. If not...Well, Losing Is Fun.

I wonder if I can include Carp somehow...

ADDENDUM: I will make it cry, too.

This is hillarious...The queen must stink probably.  ;D

Quite the smell detector, then.

"Oh dear Armok, you stink!" *Dragonfire!* "FEEL THE CLEANSING FIRES!*

5th Opal

Newb gave birth to a boy today. She named him Iton Brainarrows.

I humbly request that you change the profession name of that kid to "Wielder of Mindbullets."

And that he becomes a Marksdwarf when he grows up.

I love how a simple book-keeper not only beats a harpy to death, but then runs off towards some mountains, injuries and all, after having caught only a slight bit of relief.

Sturdy little bastards, those dwarves.

Diary of Korgan Razorrivers, recently wed:

I'm...I'm not quite sure how this happened. I got wedded with Newb. Everything is fuzzy before Newb offered me that drink. Now, I'm standing here in my room, looking at a quite magnificent statue of myself, encrusted with all kinds of jewels, and I'm now a husband. To Newb.

I'm going to have to search for meaning of all this in the bottom of a very deep Dwarven Wine barrel.

Life Advice / Re: Recommend a book

I can only recommend "Saga of Seven Suns". Why? Because its crammed full of awesome and win.

To mention one of the many things in the series:

There's a human faction that lives with a bunch of trees with its very own mind, capable of instant messaging over vast amounts of space. All thats needed is a tree from the particular treemind species and one of the people from said human faction thats been promoted to a Green Priest.

Go read it. It completely wrecked my sleeping pattern.

293
Clearly the human didn't appreciate traditional dwarven artistry, what with its magnicifenct base-line of waste not, want not. What else would he have expected us to do with that arm, huh? Let it sit there and make miasma? I think not! Clearly those land-mongrels have no appreciation for proper dwarven artistry. Tsk tsk.

Make sure you don't take on a pitchblendeman with a hammer......

I wonder whether dragons will have a fire-breathing organ of some kind, and if so, what skeletal dragons are going to do?

Obviously, they'll be 'breathing confetti

Diary of Korgan Razorrivers, 7th of Malachite.

Given some of the stuff that's happened here, it would probably be a good idea to write down how my life is going.

Which is not good. Or, atleast, it could be going an Armok-load better. First I get hit around by a bunch of Armok-damned troglodytes because Fireheart had forgotten to assign proper security while I had gone out to make sure we got, oh I dunno, bloody safe access to the brook! I was lucky I escaped with just a moderate wound to my arm! Then there was the incident today where he had told me to slowly start removing the support pillars over the Trade Depot. While its true the humies were a bunch of slow bastards, it hardly qualifies for getting their head caven in by rocks. Thats never a nice way to go. Also, why the hell is the Trade Depot above ground? Any dwarf with respect for himself would've just dug out a room inside the fort and some ramps leading down there. We don't have to go outside that way and we can annoy the merchants further by having them travel longer, heheh. Besides, thats a lot easier to defend and trap.

On a more positive note, I did get to be in charge of a new project. Securing the magma pipeline. Even better, Wok killed one of the imps, so maybe they'll think twice about attacking us...yeah, right. At any rate, I do so hope to get my hands on some magma-proof stones so I can make some grates for the pipeline. This way, we can keep out any nasty stuff that may be in the magma. Also, I recently got taken off from mechanics duties, since one of the migrants turned out to be a mechanic of sorts, so thats all good. I guess. We do get to work together quite a lot and I guess he's a nice enough guy. Although that self-proclaimed job title of his, Chaos Lord, scares me a bit. I hope thats not chaos involving traps. I'll be keeping an eye on him.

Urgh, I need some wine...

Higurashi no Naku Koro ni
Death Note

Those are the two I really quite like. The first one is...Well, its a bit of a mindfuck, it takes place over several stories linked together. The more you see, the more sense it makes.

I once dreamt I was a peasant, hauling a stone down and endless tunnel. Then, Boatmurdered-Elephant happened.

Yeah, it was kind of a bad dream.

Clearly this is something you'll be able to do in DF 1.0...or you should be able to, since that would be quite entertaining.

So does this mean a sweet pod syrup dwarf would be cooked upon death or buried or buried then exhumed and cooked?

...That will make way for an awesome version of "Hansel and Gretel" in DF.
