Hell yes.  Also, please deal with the aquifer before I take a turn, I have no idea whatsoever how not to flood and kill the fort with one.

Heiterverzweiflung. Not a legit German word so much as something a friend and I made up in German class once. "Carefree despair". When life is so fucked that you can't stop laughing.

The fortress's name is Larudil, "Metlanterns", to rhyme with "pear strudel".
Mmmm. Pear strudel.
Making a start now, but may not finish year this week. Sorry.

Lots of sand at location, not many visible minerals or metals. Wilderness: some !!fauna!!: lions, hippos already turned up, though all is calm so far. Except for the dog that tried to take on a boar. and the militia commander who tried to start a war with the hippos. Sorry.

Some fish, enough plants in spring and fruit trees in summer for OK food supply. Currently placing hopes on textile and glassmaking industry.

First year commences. Screenshots soon.

Full documentation arriving soon. Have played half of initial year, things seem stable, as only risked flooding the fort with magma once. Will post screenchots when I have time. All well.

Sorry, having trouble getting at computer which can run DF OK. Also running on English time, so timekeeping maybe a little difficult. Expect saves and report up by end of week, very likely sooner.

I was considering joining in on the Fun, but then I remembered that I love cats too much to even cause a fictional cat to be described through text as being hurt.

I'd like to join; I've had exactly one fort become the Mountainhomes before the baron started tantruming over his bedroom quality. I probably won't have much time to play until the summer though because of school.

HERE we ARE: First year played, lets see how this plays out:

http://dffd.bay12games.com/file.php?id=10691

Important info: We are in an arid place, with much silk, which will make a strong early industry. We are near a river and a volcano. There might be an Aquifer.

If you don't know what this means, it should come as a nice surprise:

They may steal fruit, but they're a good omen, right?

Enjoy! Haha!

Hey guys! Just touching base, sure Gwolfski will be done w/ year pretty soon, so get ready, Dukegod!

Btw, any idea why my DFFD page has 6 downloads for the fort now? Not a particularly good one, so are you guys just that into it? Or has there been a technical hitch? Or do people just really hate starting fortressess themselves?

Evenin'.

Goody. I shan't sleep much tonight. In eager anticipation, I await.

EDIT: Am currently not sleeping. And it is night where I am.
