->If below, throw yourself down, knife raised, and stab the creature in the head with the knife

>Check the grip on the bottom of shoes
->If low, proceed with jump
->If high, use the grips against the cliff to spin yourself around into a headlong dive

>Hang onto knife tighter than ever


Alice:
>Reload if needed

>enter elevator like the Swat team, gun raised to level with head, checking to see what inside before moving in.
->If nothing is inside, proceed in, and set destination according to current position
-->If building is strictly underground
--->Go to top floor, attempt to escape
-->If building is tall
--->Climb to top, attempt to rappel down the side
->If something hostile is inside, shoot repeatedly
->If something friendly is inside, train gun on it while entire time while inside
->If something inanimate is inside, examine it

Your mission: Survive.
The problem: No skills. No Items. At all.
The goal: Make it to 100+ Dorfs

I noticed everybody says a "minimalist" fortress is starting with an anvil and copper... lies. Start with nothing, trade the first caravan plants for a pick or an axe... And you would be well on your way.
Any takers?

Just saw their latest commercial. It talks of Horses killed for meat. (We can all relate to that) Dogs fighting each other giant zombie elephants to the death. (been there, done that.) Cats neglected and abused Killed for their juicy meats for their skins for their fat for their bones and skulls For the good of all of us. (We all hate catsplosion) And Innocent Zombie seals beaten up on sight by peasants The military.
It's all so dwarvenly!

So, my mayor, We'll call him Urist McShortlife, has mandated the construction of "certain goods" Namely, native copper Items. There's a problem with that. I have no copper. So somebody's going to get it. but... I have no sheriff, no royal/fortress guard, no hammerer, and no jail. How will they be punished?

So, a forgotten snail, or something has taken up residence in my basement. Can I cage it?
Will throwing hundreds of cats down there annoy it to death? Can I put magma on it?
Do they fly without wings? What in the fortress does "Deadly Dust!" Mean!?
Edit:
"A gigantic three-eyed stegosaurid. It has a pair of spindly antennae and it has a gaunt appearance. it's puce scales are small and overlapping. Beware it's deadly Dust!"

Oops, how do I move this thread to the questions board?
