Maybe you could try this : http://dffd.wimbli.com/file.php?id=4993

It's my full DF folder, it only has the Unitedwires save in.

On the off chance that my computer finishes downloading and unzipping the folder before the next guy gets his turn (~40 minutes left by the estimation, how many forts do you have?), and the likely chance that this works, I'll start immediately. Assuming no complaints from anyone, of course.

I (think I) recognize some of those errors from when I "upgraded" a 31.16 (?) race to 31.18. However, the others...

Since no-one can figure out WTH is up with the crashing and the inability to use my copy, and I don't want to slow you guys down, I regretfully suppose it should be time for the next guy to take the save. Unless there is no next guy,in which case we're SOL.

I had a great character, dwarven valkyrie, my first character to go into double-digit dungeon levels, find Sokoban, or get a wand of wishing. I used that to wish for blessed fixed +2 silver dragon scale mail, a bag of holding, and then another blessed fixed +2 silver dragon scale mail after a werewolf turned me into...uh...another werewolf, ripping it and a cloak of invisibility I found early on. However, I got rid of some cursed gauntlets in the process, so that was O.K. I even got a chickatrice corpse from the Big Room that I got lycanthropy from!
After #praying, I went down into he Big Room (dl 10, deepest I had ever gone), wandered away from the stairs, and got surrounded. Out of options, my adventurer reached for her last resort...

And I'm sure experienced players can guess where I'm going with this.

She reached for the chickatrice corpse--and promptly turned to stone. My only gloves were those cursed gauntlets I left behind!

Dear Drainbases, Alligator,
I know I told your kind that you could kill dwarves that approached you without consequence. However, two distinctions:

1. The dwarves that are O.K. to kill are unarmed so as to reduce the risk to you.
2. Those dwarves are running at you or lying on the ground moaning in pain, not chopping at trees or running from you screaming.

You killed my woodcutter/broker/manager/bookkeeper/etc. He was useful. He had an AXE and was running FROM you! You have refused to face dwarves WITHOUT axes that were running AT you!
I hope you now understand why my actual militia, which has weapons and armor, will be running at you and killing you.
Sincerely,
GreatWyrmGold, Vengeful Overseer.

What do you mean? EDIT: Ninja's. There are six pages now!

I'm pretty sure I've seen dwarves fly more than 1 tile from cave-in dust.  AFAIK the dust comes from the ceiling as it falls, not when it lands:  if you put an empty space under that X and let the block fall past the dorf, you might get more dust out of it.  Also no chance of the dorf standing 2 inches too far north and getting killed prematurely.

Thanks! Trying it out in the arena, with one cavy, one dragon, and one dwarf sitting on a "pillar" with another rock chunk about to crash down on the east side, all of them landed on the same tile, south and a bit to the east. Some kind of passage for control would be ideal.

VERY dorfy idea btw, you ought to be congratulated just for thinking of it.

Why thank you! *looks for dorfiest smiley* *is unhappy that no smiley so much as sports a beard*

Dear Mountainhomes,
I had a population of 14. You sent me a migrant wave of TWENTY-FUCKING-TWO. Fifteen of them are being sent on a suicide mission to kill an alligator, which will be followed by several such missions. If you have a lye maker surplus, okay, but make your own deathtraps to deal with them, I lack the infrastructure. Of course, now that you tried to TRIPLE my population, I might have to build one, but still, I'd rather spend by dorfpower on bedrooms or my awesome 3-D entrance trail or something. Oh, and my manager doesn't quite have an office yet.
Sincerely,
GreatWyrmGold, Overseer

Dear Urist McRecruit,
Go back, you stinking elf! You're a coward and a liar! I know your left upper arm can't be running with blood because an alligator ripped it off!
Sincerely,
GreatWyrmGold, Ovrsr
[Insert similar notes to a dwarf missing an arm and a foot, and one with a slightly ripped leg.]

Dear Mirrorjointed, alligator,
You aren't trying hard enough. Those dwarves shouldn't have a chance. Deal with the bruises and come back over here! Free munchies!
Sincerely,
GreatWyrmGold, Ovrsr
Dear carps,
Wanna join your Brother Gator in a fight against those dwarves bleeding into your river?
Sincerely,
GreatWyrmGold, Ovrsr

Dear Urists McDoomeds,
Go stand over there. Fight all the carp you see.
Sincerely,
GreatWyrmGold, Ovrsr.

Dear Urist McWhiny,
You have a torn-open leg. Get out there with your comrades who are missing limbs.
Sincerely,
GreatWyrmGold, Ovrsr.
P.S. See that skeleton? That's the last guy who spent all of his time resting. He had a worse injury.
