>Speak: Equos, we need to work together to prevent the destruction of this universe and ourselves. If this gets to the point where we put all our power to fighting each other, the Blank devours us. We must create, not destroy. Trust me. I am logic itself.

((Also, what exactly happened with my command to define Love? The post noted that Equos prevented it by adding to his definition, but in The List, his definition is unchanged, still speaking of a "loving relationship", yet Love remains undefined. Also, technically, we could just define Equos as non-existent, but that would be horribly anticlimatic.))

what are we going to do about conflicting posts?

I have a solution. An extremely fourth wall breaking one. Please tell me if I left any loopholes in or if there is a problem. Yes, this is the system used in most suggestion games, though less vaguely defined.

>Define The Forums: An abstract system used by the voices in entities' heads, users, to communicate with each other.
>Define The Voting Pool: A system contained within the Forums, used to get the users to an agreement by collecting votes in the form of "pluses" and "minuses", represented by "+1" and "-1", respectively, for each command given. Each user can only give one plus or minus per command, and is assumed to give a plus to their own command unless he or she decides otherwise. An user may to abstain from voting on a command, if he or she so decides. The commands are carried out in order starting with the one that gained the highest popularity, when popularity=(Amount of pluses)-(Amount of minuses). After the first command is carried out, the second one is, unless it conflicts with the first one, in which case it will be rejected. Progression will then carry on in the same way, until all commands are either carried out or rejected. If a command's popularity is lesser than or equal to 0, it will be rejected. The user "RadtheCad" holds a full veto privilege to reject commands.

-1 to crying our eyes out, abstain from others. (Except the automatic +1 to mine.)

EDIT: >Continue definition of The Voting Pool: If two or more commands gain the exact same popularity, they are carried out in the order decided by the user "RadtheCad" to make the most sense.

((Time to break the fourth wall and go meta.))

>Define The List: A system containing the definitions of all currently defined objects and concepts. It can be accessed and viewed at any time by gods. When spoken of, "The" must be added to the beginning of the word to prevent confusion with any other objects or concepts defined as lists.

I'm in, assuming The Computer accepts my application.

Try to go milk the scorpions, but get attacked by an unholy cross of a GCS and a carp, dodging it into a river, where he'd melt due to necrosis.

WWUD if each creature currently in the fort at the time would (exponentially) double in size each month?

"Useful" is subjective. While it makes poor armour you could appoint a noble to a single-dwarf squad with that breastplate as the uniform; the noble will get a massive happiness boost.

This does assume, of course, that you care about your nobles' happiness.

You can get an adventurer into fortress mode by retiring him/her in a mountain halls site of a civilization that he/she is not an enemy of, then creating a fortress of that civilization and hoping they migrate. There are no race limitations. If your adventurer is a night creature, then he/she will be one too in fortress mode, with usual effects, except a necromancer is friendly. (His/her zombies are not, though.)

As far as I know, you can't increase the amounts of camps, only their maximum number, since they are created during history simulation, not during the worldgen itself. Older worlds, however, generally have more sites of all types.
