I hate to say I mandated it so about the traps, but I mandated it soooo.

I usually install temporary bedding for sick people and new immigrants. Just simple beds all clustered together, no rooms or anything.
The hatches drop the unsuspecting would-be thief into water, of course.
Also, the DM arrived?
WHERE ARE THE CHEE-TOHS?!
EDIT: Also, once we're finished with everyone else, I was thinking about, oh, say, my tomb...
Two coffins in case Flok falls in love. Just toss the empty one out if not.
code:
O = wall
. = floor
X = statue
t = coffin
D = door
- = water-filled channel
G = grate
^ = pressure plate
c = floor hatch
q = Don't care what's here, probably just more stone
qqOOOOOOqq
qqOX..XOqq
qqO.tt.Oqq
OOO....OOO
OX-....-XO
O.--..--.O
OX.G..G.XO
O..-cc-..O
OX.-^^-.XO
OOOODDOOOO

This is a surprisingly easy project, but hold it of for a while.
At least SMOOTHED walls. Well-made statues of a precious metal. Same goes for coffin.
Also, aren't you worried about in-game nobles being pissed that 'commoners' have great setups?

Bah.
Hmm. How about... Ultra-high ceilings to the rooms? Don't forget to build walls where appropriate.

Wait! I asked my room to be moved down a level, remember?

The walk-able level will be floored with clear glass so that you can watch the water flow.As for the coup, donut was "elected" mayor.

Oh. Yeah, I thought you'd be building on the side of the river with the waterfall, so...
Also, I thought you'd randomly just kicked me out or something. It was a 'wtf' moment.
The person with the most social skills becomes mayor. This is a problem since Flok doesn't really have any social skills... Perhaps the in-game mayor is something entirely different?
Edit: Also, what happened to the trapped entrances? I thought that would at least deter the goblins.
Edit x2: Three years of working outside and you're JUST NOW putting things inside? I'm surprised no one's snapped yet.

A coup? Against me? I'm practically the only miner left alive! And my rule was just!
Also, my room has YET to be built- Why are you working on that giant project?
Also, mmm, platinum.
I want to 'coup' my power back.
Give Donut (Who the hell does he think he is anyway) a better-looking newer room, then channel out the ceiling above him as he sleeps. Make sure the ceiling is right above him!
That'll show him for trying to usurp MY power.
Edit: Donut hasn't posted since the third page anyway...

I say we see if she can work. If not, well... It'd be a mercy.

Oh come on, what's wrong with lines of traps?

In that short period of time, CAREFULLY dig out two horizontal layers of ice. Dig a stairway down into them, and build a wall of floodgates. Once that's done, get out of there and wait for it to thaw, or start hooking them up to a lever if we have time. That way we can turn the water on/off.
Double entrance gates:
Where X = wall, . = floor, ^ = trap, c = chained animal, D =door
code:
...XDcDX...
...X^^^X...
XXXX^^^XXXX
...X^^^X...
...XDcDX...
...........
The first row is cage traps, second and third stonefall.

I have no problem. It doesn't look like it's in the way. Remember to trap entrances/exits.
Don't forget to channel out your archery range:
code:XXXXX
X...X
X.A.X
X.O.X
X.O.X
XOOOX where X = wall . = open space O = floor A = archery target

If that what he wants.
Maybe the carp one should be it's name. I don't know, someone else decide.
Ooh, maybe around the area we have the water fountain we could also have the dining room...

I'd prefer the Stoneheart Shrine.

I think a simple cage/stonefall trap layout would work fine. Dogs tend to get untethered, even if they're untrained.

Of course I'm right! Besides, it's not like building traps is time consuming, either.
A double-layer of traps, I think, would be more than enough. Sometimes traps don't go off, so...
