Playing Dwarf Fortress is funner then studying. <_<

Whoops. I misread the guys message. I thought we were skipping to you. <_<

Nope. I generally ignore the magma until I've reached a point where I want to go there. Which rarely happens because I'm very trigger-happy with new worlds/forts.

And now I feel really, really dumb. Excuse me while I go hide.

You have a bit of fun with Granite/Ore?

Yeah!

Oh, and to explain the random chairs lieing around, I needed to encrust furniture but didn't want chairs to be encrusted. I built them because some dwarf was unhappy due to lack of chairs.

How many statues are there and how did you get so much turquoise?

EDIT: And more importantly how did you tell them what to decorate

There are 9 statues (all encrusted with turquoise and made of dark stone) in my tomb. I have no clue where the turquoise came from. It was there when I got the fort.

Oh, and in order to tell them what to decorate you have to make it so the item you want decorated is the closest/only available item of the type. I messed up a bit, though. There's an encrusted table floating around somewhere and then the anvil, like I mentioned, is also encrusted.

Crazy dwarves. Some strange metalsmith went all crazy claiming he had some fey thing or something. I humored him and built him a forge, but he just sat there wanting some blocks and some kind of ore we didn't have. I figured I would get to it later. He'd last.

Well, later came. The dwarf went insane. Killed 1 child, 1 cat, and 1 dwarf before the recruit put him down. Don't matter to me, though. My tomb is almost done.

Oh, a tantrumming dwarf destroyed the bridge. Gah, all those dwarves failing to path almost drove me nuts. I've put in place a temporary fix. It should work for now.

Winter came, too. We have enough food, so no worries there. My tomb should be finished by Spring.

Autumn. Two seasons since I gained power. I have recovered booze, just as I promised. We now have a sturdy booze base.

Migrants came last month. One died by elephant. I don't care; he was worthless. My tomb is being smoothed as we speak. The channel and floodgates designed to flood the entryway after my death are almost finished. The mechanic just needs to finish installing the lever and linking it. Speaking of that, earlier one mechanic was possessed. He carries around some mechanism of some sort. How quaint. And I have found the chasm. That should help my fame. But my tomb... Ah, my tomb. I shall never be forgotten; and never forget myself. As many things as could be have been engraved with turquoise (including the anvil). I shall live on in history.
