We can use the current one. I like the big trees and slightly smarter dorfs.

Just going to go ahead and say it now. ALL WAITING OVERSEERS AND THE CURRENT MUST READ THE OP. I'm tired of complaints about cheating and whatnot. I have no problems with it when it's a matter of junk slowing PCs down if they need to get said junk shifted. I have seen what happens when a fort drags peoples' PCs down, it causes drop off or turns to last such an abysmally long time that some people lose interest.

If you can't accept what people do for the sake of the fort running at an acceptable pace on thier machines, you don't have to take part in the fort. I never said anything against it nor implied it in the rules. What WAS said was blatently ignored anyway.

Just for sake of accuracy in his journals, what squad is my dwarf in?

For so short an entry I found it rather funny. Good job James.

The shortness is intentional.  I imagine my dwarf being one of few words, and reflect that in his journal.

Understandable. Going to work ona journal bit or two since I haven't done a nonoverseer one in a while.

EDIT: Alright, I'm going to be rather inactive over the next week or two, as we just closed on our new house and my dad and I will be working on that during the day. I should still be available at night if Im not fall-on-my-face tired.

Hope everything gets fixed up soon, Xahnel. Hospital time is boring. :( Hopefully this post'll keep you occupied for 5-10 minutes of enjoyment. Lots of plot development here. I've been building up to this particular update ever since the story started. :P

Excellent story, Talvieno. Very, very well written. I can't wait for you to put them all together.

As for why i'm in the hospital, kidney bleed.

Did you read and memorize the opening post, and are you prepared to take a popquiz? Cause splint reeeally wants that done by any volunteers.

Popquiz? I've been studying for the week long finals for three overseers now!
