It seems someone has remembered me. I've been voted for to become leader of this, archold, again. I had never left but I've been through it all, The floods, the riots, The half insane leaders coming in and babling out orders.
I've been content to sit back and let others handle it. I've been happy with my duties and was even fortunat enough to be appointed to the guard. But it seems my time has come again. The vote is in and I shall abide by it.
It had been so long since I've walked the depths of the fortress, I didnt recognize any of it anymore. But I shall try my best to sort things out. The mess is apalling though, Theres money everywhere! Let alone all of the discarded clothes. I just dont understand it.
I attempted to cover the whole place, Looking at what needed to be done, I've found notes and have followed most orders being set to the place. But I cant get down past level 14 because of how severely flooded it is. I guess I'll have to take note from past leaders and expand in some different ways.
I have commanded larg spaces underground to be dug out, I will have to abandon the work on MT. Archold mostly because I never was very good at designing stuff.

I have ordered a large quantity of our animals slaughtered. I dont feel we need 45 donkeys.
I've been looking for more of our people to become miners, The projects are going slowly. But I cant seem to find many suitable candidates.

The count has finally decided to meet with the liason from 2 years ago. Seems he's finally getting tired of the constant tapping on the wall behind him.
8th Granite, 209.
Ordered a cage to be set up, We're gonna shove all of the animals in it for a temporary examination, I fear it may take my whole years term in order to figure out the layout of the place, AND I LIVE HERE.
13th Granite, 209.
Not one person has been idly standing by my whole time as leader. And of that I am proud. We have food and drink to last us for at least 3 more years and more is always being made. I'd like if things were less cluttered but we'll sort it out eventually.

A runner tells me the elves have arrived, I will stay deep in the mountain continuing re-formation of the fortress. Let the trader deal with the elves as they see fit.
CURSES. The trader thought itd be funny to pull a lever as they were coming by and it took off one of their heads! We've barely held their anger back by telling them it was an 'unfortunate accident'. The trader has been sentanced to 4 months HARD LABOR.
The elves refuse to trade and go off angry.

I awoke to a wistle blown. Aparantly a theif got into the depot, I noticed the dogs hadnt been chained up, I ordered two of the best war-dogs to be places next to it, And am ordering more chains set up so we can defend it adequatly.

A snatcher got a child today. It was a sad day, The kids were playing too close to the edge of the map, And the one adult near them gave chase but became winded. Damn these dwarfs are lazy.
10th Slate, 209.
My term has thusfar been un-noteworthy. I've been forming rooms out of the exploratory mining shafts (Thank Amorok the previous designs had left so much room!) We are now expanding shops and bedrooms, Forming enough rows of rooms for hundreds of dwarfs, I feel we should move them out of the topsoil and down into the earth where they rightfully belong! The only downside I can forsee is the rooms are so far away from everything as it currently stands, However we have plenty of room maybe I can convince some other things to be brought down with us.
14th Slate, 209.
Migrants! We have finally aquired some new bodies to line the place. I'm hoping they will help speed things along. We now number 90.
24th Slate, 209.
The liason from two years ago is just NOW starting to talk to our baron. I wonder if this will actually help any? I dont know what he's asking them for but one of the children i shoo'd away from his door ran away chanting "we're getting cheeese we're getting cheese" then had the AUDACITY to ask me where dwarven milk comes from.
26th Slate, 209.
Boredom is driving me mad. I've been doing nothing but supervising the mining of the extension rooms down below! We have no idle dwarfs but everythings moving so god damned slow. I'm begining to regret not leaving this place when I had the chance.
5th Felsite, 209.
All digging down below has been halted, I've left the design in case anyone wants to resume it but I've decided on a more, Difficult task to undertake.
11th Felsite, 209.
I mis-judged the Aquifer and I can bypass it completely. That bodes VERY well for my project. Also we have someone who has withdrawn from society, some gem cutter I've never heard of. Goes by the name of Sigun Azintirist. Well lets see what he plans on doing.
They've claimed a jewlers workshop. I dont know what their up to but I dont know if I like it.
They only took some rough gold opals and they've locked it all up working mysteriously. I'll just let them be.
15th Felsite, 209.
Theres jubilation coming from the workshops, I can hear it even through the soil walls between me and them. I go to see what the ruckous is about and their all standing around a MUG. A gold opal mug they've named "Nobotsterus, Spurndrives." I've included a description.
"This is a Gold opal mug. All craftsdwarfship is of the highest quality. This object menaces with spikes of Gold Opal. Its values at 24,000."
Truely garbage fiting of elves but we'll keep it around to not offend the young jewelcrafter.
17th Felsite, 209.
The liason is slowly getting that fat baron to talk to her. I'm debating having him thrown into the magma for gross ineficiency.
20th Felsite, 209.
They finally came to a decision what they want!!! This could be outdated but,... ... ... THEY REALLY WANT CHEESE.
`
And their GONE!

Operation Fishy come to us is a go. I've now created an underground fishery complete with life-saving devices. We can now completely sock ourselves with fish from the inside! Or at least I hope we'll be able to. Depends if many fish suicide into it :c
Meanwhile none of the other jobs i've tasked have gotten even CLOSE to being done. Its taken 3 months for 1 tree to get cut!!! I'd like to know where they get off thinking hauling or WHATEVER their doing is more important!
And thats up to summer. I'll get the rest done when it gets done. Its taken 5 hours for me to get to this point, Thought I think its sped up a bit its still taking FOREVER. Btw if anyone wants a dwarf named and dosent have one go for it. We have a bunch of useless morons who would go by "asswiper pro" if you let them.
Where the hell do all these kids get their money? Do we have child prostitution and do kobolds really pay that much? I mean I'm getting a SHITLOAD of "Child cancels shop, going to bed" And such as this. Also who turned on "lets all go alert the manager if we stop working for some pathetic reason"? >.>
so nice to see how the giant citadel is turning out.
