iSSH costs $10. I don't know if this little experiment is worth forking that out.

I recently got dfterm2 working on my home computer. My intent is to be able to play from my phone.

(If you haven't heard of dfterm2, check out this thread. )

Has anyone found a good (free?) telnet app for iPhone?
Has anyone gotten it to work with dfterm2?

I had a dwarf early in the life of my fortress get an unresolvable mood due to the shell problem.

Facepalm 1: He happened to be the only dwarf currently assigned a weapon.

When he went berserk a brave dog distracted him while my other dwarves got to ground inside the fortress. I hadn't built many doors yet, but eventually the lunatic found his way into a room where I could seal him in.

The moment I clicked the door locked I got a message. One of my dwarves has given birth! Well, I thought, that will conveniently keep my population steady as the berserk dwarf dies of thirst. Where do I recognize that parent's name from?

Facepalm 2: Baby locked in with murderous mother.

She hammered the poor child with her crossbow until she died of dehydration. The child survived with red wounds on all his fingers and toes and three teeth missing.

Some further information on the mouse getting stuck during designation:

I am on OSX. When I enter the designation menu the keyboard freezes up, making it impossible to leave the designation menu. Also the mouse behaves as if left-click is held down, designating anywhere you point. However, returning to windowed mode and moving the mouse outside the window frees the keyboard up. It seems to also send through at least the last keyboard command entered before the mouse left the window. (It may be sending all the keystrokes through at once, but the only noticeable action is the last one sent.) When the mouse goes back into the window the keyboard freezes again. This seems to be repeatable behaviour any number of times.

Also, I haven't tried pressing f12, but clicking the middle mouse button seems to toggle between zoom-in mode and zoom-out mode. I can zoom out at first, but can't zoom in past where I started. Then after I middleclick I can zoom in but not out past where I started.

Hopefully that helps. I do have the black_space on it appears. I didn't change any init settings, just downloaded and fired it up.

so I assign half a dozen war dogs to guard him.

I seem to be limited to assigning two war dogs per stumpy. How did you assign him six?

i mean, what kind of military gives people weapons straight off and tells them to go hit each other with them, with no proper training.

The same guys that think its a good idea to make magmafalls.

Sigged.

Huh, lemme go check the raws
I think I will try to get him out of the lava before I do anything with the temp.

It's really best to leave him there. See the post above referencing magma covering. You cannot wash it off. It will light him up when the temperature is reset. If he's in the magma, he'll do no additional harm. If he's in a meeting hall full of dwarves it's gonna be a problem. If he's in the booze stockpile it's gonna be fun.

He may not immediately burn if standing in water, but I think even water won't wash off the magma coating he now has, so if he ever climbs out of the bath !!dwarf!!

Technically, they do have such a thing as a backup mayor. It's called a Vice President.

Wait, so if I kill the mayor, Joe Biden comes and fills in until we elect a new one?
