Back in 40d I embarked right next to a GCS, that didn't go too well.

-1st Moonstone 209 Early Winter

I noticed that we were dangerously low on booze:
Due to the lack of barrels, so I decided that I would use the silver that was mined to make silver barrels, since wood supplies are limited.
This should bring back our booze supplies to a more stable level and prevent an abundance of dorfs going on breaks.
To my great disappointment there has not been a single golbin attack, ambush or even one measly theif, this is turning out to be very boring.
Maybe we should have embarked on a terrifying biome. Hell I didn't even see an elf or human caravan.

-30th Obsidian 209 Late Winter
A fey mood happened again, this time a gem cutter, he took advantage of those emeralds I found to make:
Picture complete with a skilled artist's representation of the artifact.
Well that makes me one for three on fey moods completed in this season.
In addition the booze supplies are now going up rather than down.
It's the least I could do before handing the fort to someone else.
Oh and that baby is still wandering around, the dorfs are feeding her but it looks like she's on her own now.

Well this is it for my round, I think I maintained the fort pretty well.
It was fun and I look forward to seeing what happens next.

-1st Limestone 209 Early autumn

I noticed that there were some rotting plump helmets in the refuse pile due to the lack of room in the food stockpile.
So I decided to extend the food stock piles to prevent further waste of delicious delicious plump helmets.
I have also gotten the masons working on furnishing for the greedy jews nobles, therefore they won't ask for so much god damn stuff.
That's all I have to say until the end of the season.

-30th Timber 209 Late Autumn
The caravan arrived during autumn, bringing with them lots of wood, which was enough for me to make some more rooms, I recommend the next person after me to make some more though.
All of the rooms are engraved and have beds now, in addition the noble rooms are engraved and furnished.
We had some migrants arrive, no new nobles yet but we don't have enough exported wealth for the other nobles to haul their lazy asses here, it's probably better this way.
Oh and one more thing before I go: I noticed a dead baby in the water resivior, I guess he fell into the well.
Ontop of that the baby of the glassmaker that had a fey mood is wandering around the fortress
I'm sure he will survive and live on to be the greatest glassmaker in the fortress, which still has no god damn sand.
With autumn over there's just winter left, which I'll do tomorrow, because I feel like playing Mass Effect 2 now.

-1st Hematite 209 early summer

And so summer begins with death.
The cheese maker who was possesed in spring finally went berzerk and was swiftly killed by a few nearby marksdwarfs:
WOO THE CHEESE MAKER IS DEAD, LET'S PARTY!
I decided to randomly dig on the bottom floor, I'm not expecting to find much but it'll keep the miners busy.
The next update will be at the end of summer.


-29th Galena 209 Late Summer

While digging I found some silver and emerald, pretty decent.
I don't know what to use it for but I'm just going to smelt it into bars maybe I'll think of something to do with it, if not it's there for someone else.
Another damn fey mood, this time a glassmaker on a map with no god damn sand, stupid dwarf, what was he thinking?
"OH BOY I'M OFFICIALLY A GLASSMAKER I'LL GO TO THAT NEW SETTLEMENT THE LEAKY NOBLE THAT HAS ABSOLUTELY NO SAND."
Maybe he was hit on the head as a child.
A bunch of dorfs are thristy, apparently they don't know how to drink from a well(I checked the water level, it's fine), oh well (hurr) that's what we humans call darwinism.
Pic related, it's the near full water levels. Also why the constructed walls? Does that have an effect on the water quality or something?
I decided mine around the well so it has more access, it seemed to help.

That's all for summer, I'm gunna start on Autumn tonight, I may or may not finish it.

I thought this went to shit, but I'm going to begin my year tomorrow, luckly a thread on /v/ was made about it.

Downloading to check out the fort.
And remember if you don't want to see the stone, hide it.
"d" "b" "h" then just hide the stone  so you don't have to haul all of it out, unless you want a stockpile, in that case make a 1x1 dump zone and just mark all the stones you want dumped by "d" "b" "d"
