4th Granite 154 Early Spring
I've removed the walls shutting us off from the outside world to begin construction on some basic defenses. A perimeter of stone fall traps will be the first order of business as they are the cheapest and easiest to build. I've also stationed some dogs to slow down any invaders.
Our trade with the Nords was underwhelming to say the least. They brought us only leathers and meat (which can be essential of course) but nothing in the way of weapons or anything of that sort. I traded some useless stone trinkets that they of course loved and went along their way.

5th Granite 154 Early Spring
Many of the dwarves are complaining of a lack of proper quarters. The small amount of beds in the fortress is unacceptable to them and so I've begun the first housing district in the fortress. Everyone should be assigned their own room to prevent further uproar. While we are living in a dirt hole we should at least have proper lodging. The rooms will be small but sufficient for the majority of us.

23rd of Obsidian Late Winter

I've been chosen to lead this fortress into the next year and I only hope I can successfully rise to meet such a great challenge.  I was elected based on my platform of population and prosperity. This next year I hope to create new jobs in sectors untouched and with our newly built aquifer breach we will begin a full scale mining operation into the depths of the earth. As we mine out our now plentiful resource we will fill the empty space left behind with room and board for every dwarf, new workshops for metalworking and jewel. Rock crafting will be essential to our economy and I will be creating lots of jobs here. Our fallen dwarves need to be honored more appropriately and so I will begin construction on a catacombs of sorts to entomb them. Ores will come from the depths and hopefully many weapons will be forged. Military is not my strong point, but the protection of our people is my greatest concern.

So I guess it's my turn next? I don't mind if we use 0.31.04.. Should I just download 0.31.04 and you'll send me the rest? Let me know what I need to do. If it's faster I definitely don't mind using the latest version. This will be good for me because I'm off work tomorrow. Let me know ASAP and I'll get started..

Scribbled in the margins:

I came back, journal, to tell you that I know why we're here. It's like, Armok has a plan for us, you know? And we like, we can't see it yet. But it's profound. That's such a rocky word, dorf, profound. This "truffle" is incredible. It's profoundly incredible. Hehe. I wonder if I can get some cheese from the stockpiles

Stoned dorf? 

I found some nice rutabaga and some wild strawberries today - but at the end of the day I got such a case of the munchies that I ate all the strawberries! They're my favorite.

Suspicion confirmed! 

This is exciting news.. My fort got to about 20 - 30 dwarves and fell straight apart. I tried nicknaming dwarves to get some perspective on who does what but the migrants come too fast to get to know any of them.

P.S. I went out and did some yard work in your honor because I sure as hell can't play DF2010 right now..

Sweet thanks! I'll be watching and waiting for my turn patiently. I don't mind if the new game is out because it will be awhile before I can do succession forts on that version anyhow. So it's a year turn I take it? Start at spring and end at spring?

GIVE ME A MILLION BLOCK MEGASTRUCTURE. nao plz
