((OOC: OK, I'm posting the save here: http://dffd.bay12games.com/file.php?id=10807

I only made it to winter, but I'm not going to have time to work on this and it's not fair to keep the fort captive.  Sorry guys  :(  ))

Overseer's Log, Autumn

Limestone

Well, the month had barely begun before I got a fresh dose of who-cares:



Why they tell me this stuff I will never know.  I ordered construction started on a road, since the trees are getting so thick outside there's going to be a problem soon.  If something invades, we won't know about it until it's at the walls!  No sooner had they started sorting blocks than a horrible noise came from deep below.  It sounded like the fortress was collapsing, but it seems our "visitors" weren't getting along:



Ngoso got the worst of it, and is now dead as a hammer.  Good riddance.

Gah!! What did I tell you lot about the trees?!



Rakust is a cheerful enough sort, came bustling in all grins and good humors to tell me that our Baron is now a Duke.  Well, that's lovely... just what we need, even bigger nobles.  Oh joy, oh bliss.  He didn't know much in the way of gossip:

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

But he did tell me the mountainhome was giving good prices on some stuff:

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

We gave him some gossip to take with him too, unfortunately... seems ol' Fatty got himself re-elected.  I will never know what the others see in that dwarf.



Well, at the end of the month, there was a party.



Supposedly it was to celebrate being a duchy... why, couldn't tell you, but that's what they told me.  Then another party; then another.  Seemed like every dwarf that passed me in the halls was inviting me to SOMETHING.  Couldn't even eat my roast without a bunch of cheering yokels sloshing ale over me as they sang and danced.  I hate this job.

Sandstone

Not a month can pass without some idiot going bonkers over an item.



This month is no exception.  Urvad came running up to me and said:



"You mean migrants?  How many?" 

"No", he replied, "I said migrant.  And I meant it.  Just one.  Some sort of doctor."  Great.  More mouths to feed. 

Timber

Any month named after trees is suspect.  Fatty was up to his usual tricks:



And, as if that weren't a big enough pain in the arse, our deceased guest down below got replaced!



I tell you, sometimes it's all too much.



WHY DO THEY... ARGH.  I can't take much more of this... one more pointless announcement like that, and I swear I'm going to...



That's it.  He sits in a giant pile of everything on earth and swears he can't find what he wants.  I'm done.  To hell with this.  I'm migrating to another fort where I can work on my metal in peace; at least when the forge clangs, something is being made.  Faugh!

I'm new to succession forts in general, yes, but do all forts designed by multiple overseers inevitably degenerate into a body-filled labyrinth of chaos and despair like this? Or is this just a Battlefailed thing?

There isn't much middle ground between killed-by-dragon and never-seen-by-dragon.

I have the save and will get started on it later today.

After taking a look at things, and checking out the stocks, I have made some goals for my time as overseer.

1) Seal off part of the cavren
2) Finish armouring the militia with Steel and Candy.
3) Build an Above-ground tower for training the militia.
4) Use the river to make some waterwheels. (Someone else can find a use for them).

The purple overseer hat weights heavily on one's head. Some would argue that the leadership of Doomforest is uneasy to bear for too long. Others would simply suggest that we don't craft the next overseer hat out of rutile.

Stuff has come up again  >:(
I cannot finish my year. I pass the turn on, and ask for another year.

I have the time, and by time I mean I'd be playing Dwarf Fortress anyways, so it might as well count for something. I'm game for a turn.

You can put me down for another turn if/when we run out of new people or people who were ahead of me wanting to take a 2nd turn.

I didn't really get anything done, so just revert to an earlier save.

My advice:
1) We have 80+ candy wafers: they make great weapons
2) The militia really needs armour. We have the steel. Get to it
3) I would consolidate the stone workshops if I were you: They are spread out oll over the place.
4) I wanted to make a marksdwarf outpost by the bridge over the chasm. It would probablly be a good idea if someone did that.
5) food and booze are in good condition (I want more booze anyway).

As long as it's a lady dwarf it'll be alright.
