Suddenly the images are working again. I think I'll try not to think about it.

Yeah, only Pro Thinkers can really comprehend the madness that is this fort, and everything it touches. Possibly madmen too, but whatever.
I could post the next part of my posthumous journal, but... eh. I'll probably do it tomorrow.

[NCommander]

Your dwarf foo is stronger than mine, and I thus concede defeat :-).

Do you mind if I put this in my sig?

Dorf-Fu is a wise and mystic art of combat and you'd be wise to verse yourself in it.  Get drunk sober and tantrum through the dining hall until only you are left alive. 

Same to this.

Go for it :-).

[Johuotar]

Huh, so Hellcannon is dead then. I thought it was still going.

Put me on turn list If Im not already there and dorf me as Kaamanen, thank you.

[arcangelsd]

and dorf me as Kaamanen, thank you.

Good luck with that, mate.

[CatalystParadox]

Please tell me that's snowed-over Fetid Muck and the Nefarious Mist pools haven't been spread about...

Seeing as we've breached the aquifer, would you mind going to where the Trade Depot is and get any idle/disposable dwarves working on finishing this?  All that really needs to be built is the gears and waterwheels on the upper level.

I could tell you that, but then I'd be a dirty liar.  The Nefarious Mist is EVERYWHERE.  I am never, ever, opening those doors.

As for the trade depot, you can see it in a back room of the fort if you look closely.  Maybe I'll engineer one someplace seperate from the fort, but safe, for merchants to come die in, if I get some migrants that survive eventually so I can do the work.

Catalyst, your pictures aren't showing up here for some reason.

They are working for me as well.
Do you have googleusercontent.com blocked, that is where CatalystParadox uploaded them to.

Yeah, I use Picasa, because I'm lazy and havent bothered to sign up for and transfer to a better service since discovering it sort of sucks.  Sorry if its causing anyone problems.

^Likewise.

I say seal the fort up and try to survive by breeding. It may be slow going for a while, but if the local breeders are any good we could have a dozen or so little baby dwarves toddling around uselessly by the end of the year. Best-case scenario, we get an inbred drunken enclave of midgets on the edge of Hell on Earth. Worst-case is that we get zombies; not a whole lot of directions to go but up, though. Right?

Too bad our only potential breeder is married to a dead guy.

Do they ever re-mate?  Because if so, we could theoretically have an Annoying Doomsayer and a Prophet of Cheese as the progenitors of the whole fortress.

Nay, they do not re-marry, at least as far as I am aware. Unfortunate, as that would be a most fitting ancestral tree.

As far as I can tell, I've never actually seen anyone get infected by the nefarious mist without running directly through the Evil Zone. You might want to at least try to get the some of the spring migrants in through the secret hatch entrance, since it's probably going to be the last wave for quite some time. Worst case scenario, you have to lock the hatch back up because a zombie found it before they did.

I hope you haven't forgotten about those two flimsy-wooden doors at the south side we mentioned, that spell imminent doom for the fortress if left as they are.

[Teneb]

The south side is sealed by a wall built on a staircase. Unless someone removed it.

Either way, you should dig a new fort in the stone and abandon the soil layer.

Uh... Catalyst?  My request wasn't about the Trade Depot, but the room it's currently built in and the connected one below it.

Yeeeeeepppppp totally failed to read your post correctly.

I'll see what I can do, but there are currently MAYBE two functional dwarves, both of whom are missing a limb, so its a big maybe.

Hold on, hold on, how long has it been in-game since any migrants have managed to get in the fort? A wave already died this turn, and I think it was on aC's turn that we stabilized at four, so... 2 years, almost? And if only two of them can do anything, I don't see how we're going to get much further here until we can guarantee some sort of way in without dying.

S'all good.  I honestly thought there were more able-bodied dwarves, so don't bother if there's so few.

I actually had to endure a 4-dwarf fortress for 3-4 years. Well, technically it decreased from 9 to 4 over an extended period of time, but the last few years were definitely very lonely.

Didn't Battlefailed dip that low fairly early?

So the cycle begins anew...
