Is Rodge still alive? What's his mood like in all this horror?

I've come up with a solution for the Syrupleaf XK-Class Apocalypse continuity snarl. I'm trying to build up to it organically, but I might have to infodump it if I end up making this a half-turn. Don't worry -- it still makes no sense whatsoever.

Just to help me get this straight, the continuity snarl is primarily caused by the fact that the surface of this realm should be solid obsidian, right?

Yup. This is something I more or less handwaved by more or less buturing that one and only aspect of the canon. The spawn are how they are now due to conflicting AI of thieves and building destroyers. But if you have a good idea please share.

I'm becoming wary of this Mr Frog fellow. Honestly even I thought it strange when he ordered the troopers locked into containment cells - I am no fool. I see how those things are used by that damnable corperation - rather than just have them patched up and sent back to training.
He questioned why I had Fischer training the others out by the depot, when the reason to have an imediate response handy to agressors while the bridge is down should have been obvious.

I was also going through the records and found that pitchblende mechanism Mr Frog brought to my attention; Who the fuck thought using our hammerstones for a mechanisim would be a good idea!? If I find out who made that I may well beat them myself and save Mr Frog the hassel of selecting a hammerer.

These losses are starting to become unacceptable. How am I to gather an army to fight these invaders if they insist on dying or turning into said invaders!? If my instructor end up dead I'll have to insist upon leading the army myself.

I've also been hearing the voices again. Maybe Stova's death is starting to wear me down, or it could be I heard The Master yelling for wood polish again. I swear, if it were legal he'd marry that stupid pole. I'm beginning to regret ever having it commisioned for him.

Rodge is one of the legendary miners. I don't know about his mood, but he's still alive.

why haven't you set yourself as expedition leader?

As far as I know, there's no choice in the matter with the expedition leader. It's usually it's the dorf with the most admin/social skills thta gets selected.

If you knew what a horror the Manamaids were you'd want to gouge your own eyes out. And the very start was my wanting to host a game and try to make DF2012's first great epic, hopefully such to warrent a sequel mentioning the above monstrosities. And a few fancy new weapons and potentially a workshop for making them.

Ordered some pikedwarves to kill an insane diplomat,and noticing they started killing eachother (Well, more specifically they sarted attacking everyone EXCEPT the diplomat)

I didn't notice that it was a "Gone batshit crazy" case instead of the normal "Flipshit and kill everyone" I normally get.

I both facepalmed and savescummed.

That my friend, is what we call a loyality cascade.
Those can be very fun to handle once started. 

Yeah. Not when you have 4 near legendary fighter+pikedwarves tearing everyone apart, and effectivly being a meat grinder for your civilization. Litarally. Hence the savescum. Sucks too cause I had a road half finished and just bought a bunch of giant emu for fighting animals from the dwarven caravan.

Honestly i don't think kill orders on insane diplomats should cause that, but oh well. An interesting note is those random useless traders who pop up with migrants are supposed to be merchants. They just got thier.... maybe 8 months too early and had to sit and wait.

And thus, yet another savage ass kicking is dispensed by the goblins. Sorta.

I'm amazed the tree and elf killing hasen't been hammered into the ground already.

*is very much looking forwards to the first part of the writeup*

The suspense is killing me.

Same here... must... have... update...

Mooooooooooo

STATUS UPDATE

I've made it to summer. I'll get started on the first part of the writeup in a bit.

Things seem to have more-or-less stabilized for now. The military needs a serious overhaul, though.

It looked composed of an ad hoc mix of the intended professionals, one crossbowless marksdwarf, and a hammerdwarf who became such on the spot.
