Ingiz's Journal:  1st Granite 1051
Who does he think he is?  Deon elected himself expedition leader while we were out scavanging for supplies, and now he claims that by ancient law he can only be replaced after a sign from the gods.  Isn't that why we fled?  To get away from those rusted shackles of buracracy.....  To find someplace that hasn't been shaped by the rigid constructions of the priesthood.....     To find someplace where we can reforge our souls and find out what the gods have in store for us.......     But no.   More of the same petty crap we put up with at the mountain home.  I'm going to grab my pick and get to work digging us out a home.  Maybe by the time I get done DoomPotato and Hazey Jane will have found some plants, brewed them, and I can get drunk on something that doesn't taste of mushroom.  And Deon...he will get what's coming to him.

Deon's Journal:  1st Granite 1051
We will be the first dwarves in a thousand years to commmune directly with the gods without being priests, and I, Deon am the grand architect of this plan.  I'm so smart and so wise.  If the other dwarves follow my exact commands, we shall be sure to succeed.  They aren't too bright though, so I'll have to keep a close eye on them.  Especially Hazey Jane and OmnipotentGrue.  Those two are highly suspicious.
 
Hazey Jane's Journal:  1st Granite 1051
Someone figured it out.  The note tucked under my arm while I was sleeping.  I just don't know how someone figured out that I am a woman.  I'd been able to keep this secret hidden since shortly after I grew my first whiskers.  Maybe I should never have...  But no!  All of the priests of  Girtol the Ferries of Tricking were men.  All I have ever wanted was to learn more about and grow closer to him.  I must go.  I have work to do.

OmnipotentGrue's Journal:  1st Granite 1051
So hungry!  Hate everyone!  No time to journal.  Must start fishing!
 
(Well not everyone, but OmnipotentGrue does have some issues.)

Therleth Thimshure's Journal:  1st Granite 1051
Why did we stop here?  There isn't anything tasty around for me to kill.  There are bones everywhere.  Even the trees and shrubs are dead.  Its creepy, downright creepy.  I'm pretty sure our skilled architect got us lost.  Did that bone move on its own?

DoomPotato's Journal:  1st Granite 1051
Awesome!  They totally fell for it!  I switched the maps around and now we are settling someplace without any plants to gather.  Everyone else is going to be busy with their specialty, so I'll be able to spend some quality time with Hazey jane.  If you know what I mean.  Wait.  No one reads this but me.  At least they had better not, or I'd be in trouble.  So I guess I mean quality time....if I know what I mean.  And I do. And its awesome!

Oh I like to chop and chop and burn..
Wood and elves each take their turn.
There was cracking, screaming, sizzling too..
Silent now, I'll drink my brew.
 

Fort Info: 
First the standard stuff
1.  I've claimed one dwarf.  Every one else is up for grabs.  If you have any preferences as far as traits or likes/dislikes, I'll keep them in mind, but no promises.
2.  I'll be listing the unclaimed dwarves.  Their genders, professions, and some important skills.
3.  If you claim a dwarf, I'll post the description.  I'll also have the original 7 posted.
4.  Feel free to journal for your dwarf, but please spoiler the text.  Keep in mind that these are non-canon and I may also be journaling from your dwarf's pov, especially if they get elected mayor.
5.  If you claim a dwarf, pick a name, or I'll use your profile name or some variation.


Now for some unusual stuff
1.  The original seven are in a cult.  They will be sealed away from the outside world.  An outside dwarf could be invited in if they are worthy.  An epic fight, making a cool artifact, or something else entirely could get someone invited inside.  Let me know if you think someone is worthy.
2.  For the sake of the story, noncultists are not capable of altering any cultist constructions unless abandoned.
3.  Since I'm using Genesis mod, there are a wide variety of castes that dramatically inluence gameplay.  While you will know the castes of any claimed dwarves or cultists via the description images, I'm keeping migrant caste secret until they are claimed.

And here's a list of the gods and goddesses of The Roughness of Nuts

I've done some experimenting trying to figure out the bug that makes artifact items into dark lignite.  Right now wood, bone, and shell based artifacts turn into dark lignite in my games.  They are lost imediately, and the creator of the artifact gets blacklung disease.  It seems that the game looks for the first inorganic file in alphabetical order.  Then the game selects the first material in that list.  So you could set up a dummy material that is not used anywhere else in a file named inorganic_artifact.txt, and until Toady fixes the bug in the main game, we wouldn't have exploding artifacts.

Nish is Demonic Spoon's older sister...the planter's (and now military commander) daughter.  Anyways, I thought only babys would die of thirst, not dwarven children.

Here it is.

Only problem is in getting the planter to mine, I seem to have broken the mayor.  He won't do a thing.  Just stands there.  He has no job, but it shows zero idlers.

I downloaded it as well, just to check it out.  It is that awesome.

The planter appears perfectly capable.  Got her to pick up an axe to chop some logs for beds.  Still can't get anyone to grab a pick.  I'm going to try to assign the planter as the arsenal dwarf, throw both adults in the military and assign the mayor a pick.  Will let you know if it works.

I don't believe I mentioned anything about dwelves.

If you make stone beds, it ignores the economic stone list.  I'm getting native copper, bauxite, and limestone beds, and they are definately marked red on the list.
