most of my real adventures look like this. I very rarely die and never seem to do anything out of the ordinary. when I've finished my mindflayer mod (D_E's mod will be much better when it's finished) I'll take a few trips to the underground and hope something happens.

You might notice that in the latest versions, almost all goblin historical figures die out and are replaced by the descendants of kidnap victims. The only goblins you will really see in fortress mode are the randomly generated ones.

I think it's because all the kidnapped children override the goblin civilization's population cap. The way the game works makes it so that whenever a space gets filled up it can either be filled by a goblin child, a kidnapee, or the child of a prisoner. The chance of goblins filling in the population holes decreases each time because prisoners don't go to war and goblins die in battle. The only goblin run forts I've seen in a while were located in the middle of nowhere with kobolds, which the gobbos presumably don't find cute enough to kidnap.

I'll encourage you to post pictures of particularly awesome occurrances, but for the average run of the mill awesome you can just awe us with your language.

Yeah, that'd make a badass surname.

I used Caquotanoth (Bloodygod), but that sounds better.

What happens if a player gets _____ ________, Human Maceman, killed?

The idea seems to be that Muffin and I grind the hero up in power so that you can have a constant circle of meat shields companions to ensure you're never caught off guard and killed, because that would mean ending the game >.<

If we have 1 day turns it better be realtime. I'd suggest 10 ingame turns but if that proves too complicated I'm fine with realtime.

I'm all for 40d. I might miss crundles *sniff* but I'll be fine as long as we have action.

We could try using ingame time because using the travel menu burns up days in a flash. we'd have to expect that people would use the [D]ate option while playing though, so it's a stretch.

How will we measure how long a turn lasts?
will it be based on realtime like sparkgear? or will we all get a month ingame or something?

Fluffy wamblers exist outside of the fabric of dwarf fortress, stumble bumbling not only throughh the x,y, and z levels. but through the w and r levels as well. Their pudge represents only a tiny node of a beast of incalculable extra dimensional proportions that even the faintest scrutiny of their fluffy forms could send a dwarf spiraling into madness.
