Look around to see if it is possible to jump from the dock onto the ship or vice versa. Follow up the gangplank, but remain silient.

"Anciano, if they can give us a start on the crew we need, it makes sense to hire them. If not, THEN we can give them some money and send them away."

"We should not pay them for illegally living on our ship. They do not appear poor from their quantity of possessions; we should not reward them for their crime, victimless as it is."

Deathtrap sungeon? I remember that! more's the pity

Basically, we're brick-wall stupid. Excellent. Good and dorfy.

Pull the lever. Ready ourselves for a sudden attack out the gate when it opens.

I recall someone else in history did the conscription trick. It may have been Nazi germany, actually, as a way to get around the Treaty of Versailles. I vote for conscription - we 'll need a core of full-time soldiers, but we'll need more than ten battalions to defeat the occupiers if they mobilise in force.

We require more details:
1) How large are the Capsun Empire's armed forces?

2) Are we geographically connected to the Capsun Empire? ( connected to 3 and 4)

3) Are there potential enemies/ allies nearby who might interfere in the conflict? (connected to 2 and 4)

4) Can we get a rough map of the continent?

If you make an airlock with two bridges - there are several designs available (http://dwarffortresswiki.org/index.php/DF2012:Bridge#Single_Lever_Airlock) - you can supply him with materials to work with abd retrieve the products without him coming into contact with other dwarves. If he is revealed as a vampire, when he murders someone the hammerer will beat him to death.

"The memory is foggy. The detail is clear. One of your kind was my greatest foe."
Konicek matched Durham's stare until Morazin cleared his throat loudly.
"...Fine. I shall drop the matter. Let us proceed to the ship."
Konicek wrapped a hand around the shaft of the glaive and stood.

I wonder... the Paradox Forums had/possibly have a writing thing called 'Guess the Author'. Basically, a number of writers submit short pieces of writing related to a chosen common theme or idea. The stories are then submitted anonymously and open to criticism and comments by readers (who also try to guess who the author might be). After a time, the authors are revealed and the next round begins.

What I was thinking was if the same concept would work here. We don't have the same game AAR authors to go back on, though we could use FG&RP or the DF community stories and criticism can be found here. It could be more of a game with readers voting for best stories (keeping it anonymous so no bias), too.

Basically, I just like the idea of a regular writing exercises the forums could criticize and rate without bias either way that comes from knowing the author. A competitive factor wouldn't hurt.

The original GtA is here if you don't get what I mean, and I am never very clear.

Sounds interesting to me. I would be willing to have a go.
