If there's any chance of farming, I guess I'll claim a brewer, preferably one who likes cats.  And for a name... either Rossbob or Barbanthropus.  Or Greta Silkybeard, if it's a woman.

I'll try to get started either tonight or tomorrow.  Kind of busy at the moment, but I look forward to reading Bluerobin's update.  Fun times await, I'm sure.

I'll join too.

Edit: I have no particular dwarf preference, but I claim one later if that's alright.

Clearly, we must determine what materials and equipment we have to work with. 

Then, if there are meat-bearing huntables, we should deconstruct the wagon and build workshops for a butcher, tanner, and bowyer.  After slaughtering the beasts of burden, we tan the hides and make a bone crossbow.  Then deconstruct the bowyer's and tanner's workshops and build a kitchen and craftdwarfshop in their place.  Render the fat and turn the remaining bones into bolts, and then go hunting. 

Or we could sit around playing "Don't look like zombie whale food."  Either way.

35
I'll take another turn here!  I'll probably start after work today, but we'll see... I might have a big gap in my work today.
Hurray!  I'll sign up for another round, too, if there are slots available.

36
I guess we need another player, then, and more booze.

37
You might consider expanding the workshop areas a bit.  I'm not sure about the current state of things, but production was neither centralized nor efficient during my turn (214).  Also, I think Freki mentioned improving the jail, so as to placate the currently incarcerated Dragon Dicer. 

38
Why do you think the Dragon Dicer is truly in the kink?
He threw a more popular party.

At last his nefarious plan comes to light - he's going to throw everyone in jail, and then bring the party to them.  Brilliant!

39
No he doesn't have four shoes...
He has four boots of ass kicking.

Well no wonder no one ever attends his parties...  They're afraid of being trampled by his footwear of justice!

40
Nice crypts!

Also, Guard Captain Rossbob has four pairs of shoes and a death wish.  He seems to have jailed the Dragon Dicer.

41
It looks like you might have uploaded the save from the beginning of your year, rather than the end.  It's possible I made a mistake somewhere between downloading it and putting it in my save folder, but you might want to check, just in case.  I'm sure Conot wouldn't want to be without his glorious tomb.

42
 :( and also  :'(

Thirdly, it looks like our leader knows how to dress for success.  Mayor Conot is wearing no shoes, two pairs of socks, two pairs of trousers, a dress, a coat, a cloak, a cap, a hood, gloves, and mittens.

43
You raise an excellent point.  I'm not aware of any site features, and I so rarely play on featureless sites that I'd forgotten about that particular requirement for the dungeon master.

I like the sound of a hero battle, though.  I look forward to the recording, and to seeing how someone uses the byproducts of the slaughter.  An artifact dragon bone throne is probably too much to hope for, but it would be glorious.

Well, at least his friends are industrious, even if rossbob himself throws a party at every opportunity.

44
Well, it's true that a tame dragon in the dining room would really tie the place together.  But I agree, it would be pretty lame to just trap it in a cage.  So I'll vote for a thrilling battle between the Masher/Evisceratrix/Finisher and the dragon, unless you can find some way to make the caging of the beast into a similarly epic affair.  (Or if any of the dwarves happen to worship the dragon - that might be interesting.)

On an unrelated note, I think that's three parties and only one guest for the poor, unpopular captain of the guard.  Does he have no friends?  Or is everyone else too busy?

45
Unfortunately, there isn't.  We've got the murky pools, and a few veins of lignite and bituminous coal, but that's about it.  Well, that and somewhere around 650 logs as of the end of my turn.  So I don't think small-scale smelting is much of a problem, but the glorious seven-tier magma fountain that was going to be a wedding present for Conot and Rith will have to be scaled back a bit.  (And by "scaled back," I mean scrapped entirely and replaced with another black bronze shoe.  At least he'll have a pair of them, now.)  Such a shame, really.
