You are a great fan of all sorts of music, although your favorite genre is Hard Rock. Sometimes you take contracts as a stage prop just so that you can get closer to the musicians, and enjoy the concerts.

You have a beautiful, haunting singing voice that would go well with metal music. It's a great shame that you never get to sing to humans.

There was grumbling that since the place is already so big, we need a mayor. As if I haven’t managed this place well enough so far! Ungrateful peasants… I agreed to hold an election, figuring they would just pick some dolt who could act as a figurehead while I continued to be the real brains behind the operation. And just guess who they picked? Mr. Oh-What-Great-Cheese-I-Can-Make CognitiveDissonance!! I’ll get an ulcer before the winter…

Oh man, I just lost it there :D Guess making cheese makes you very popular with the peasants...

Journal of Cognitive Dissonance, the First and Greatest Mayor of Oceanquest:

"How am I supposed to run things, or even keep a journal, without proper offices? The Chief of Staff, as I like to call him, really needs to get on this. Just yesterday, I mandated a construction of wooden cheesemaking facilities so I can practice my craft, and bring happiness to my citizens. Cheese makes a fortress better, motivates the workers, brightens halls and sweetens plump helmet wine. And I can make the best cheese there is.

But apparently my request came through as "earrings". That's what happens when I don't have an Office to work from. I would punch somebody in the ear until it rings... either way, now I can't withdraw that or I will look incompetent. They better get to work. If only I had proper quarters, and some cheese... I'm sure those horses could spare some milk for my labour.

I overheard the Chief of Staff complaining of ulcers. I told him that cheese is great at treating ulcers, and easing one's stress."

WTF


Forget about it. I dont think anything is going to help me right now.

Damn, that sounds bad. Hey, best of luck with stuff there. Feel free to rant and vent if you need it.

Could I have another dwarf citizen? Something in engineering/smelting or crossbow/rifle making.

Great read, thank you! Do write more stuff.

would read again.

you can harvest plants and make drinks out of that, like strawberry wine. just disable them in the stocks(z) - cooking, so your dwarfs dont eat the plant made for brewing!

In more desperate situations, you can also run magma right next to ice. That will melt it.

Also...

The pompous Elves arrived bearing goods but negotiating with them was the last thing the dwarves needed. One scruffy odorous dwarf with ruined clothing goaded an elf in, whereupon he was torn apart by the ravenous, insane dwarves within. They were ordered to do so by the young leader now as deprived and morally bankrupt as his compatriots. The other elves fled upon hearing the screams but the dwarves of Cunningroad had looted much of the stock anyway. Now a nation of murderers and savages Cunningroads was officially a rogue state.

Elves bring with them drinks as well as brewable plants :)

PTW

I should really start keeping an eye on the imageboard. I can speak Russian, and I'm sure there are even more treasures there!

EDIT: Whoops, necroed. I wonder if more will be coming.

With the first traffic fix patch, I started a new region to see what I could make of it. And despite the hordes of Jorcan's shoppers, I'm making progress :P I just wish that city groupings were greater than 4...

Are you using a desktop? Do you have a stand-alone sound card?
If it's a desktop, and not a dedicated sound card, chances are you have uh... what's it called... I want to say Aluratek. Whichever one it is, if you download the latest software suite for it, it should have a microphone feedback cancelling feature.

Hm... I either didn't notice it or am used to it. Does it sound like a low buzz?
I'm looking for a new Mic so if I find it then I might be able to cancel out that noise.

I have excellent, trained hearing and high sensitivity earbuds.
It does sound like that. A low, constant buzz in the background. It goes away when you turn off the microphone, and is likely to be feedback from the speakers. It's a lot less likely to be general magnetic/electric interference.
Most sound cards have feedback elimination features on the driver software, maybe yours can do that?

I have to say, this is an excellent idea! Mot is a great character now. I may steal your idea if I ever need a really spectacular nemesis for a roleplay campaign :D

You are hunted by a small but well-equipped and dedicated group of monster hunters who want to get rich off your precious hide.

o.O Oh man, I was so excited about that gun and hoping to be the hero. I will write a journal entry, and look for a potential second dwarf in the save later.
Awesome updates! And awesome mod! I really should try it sometime

You are primarily made from very rare and precious metals, such as Rhodium and Palladium
