[PresidentEvil]

In 1051, towards the dawning of what we now know as the Golden Age of Dwarfkind, a party of seven dwarves, vagabonds and criminals all, was exiled to the bottom of the world to serve the Test of the Fortress. They were given a meager amount of supplies and set out for a mountain known as the Glacial Tower of Clashes. The exiles chose Clashes because of its known volcanic activity; the warmth in the mountain's glowing heart was their only chance of survival...

Are you considering Granite a cheat tool? The one that lets you add walls for like where you mined out some minerals?

Certaintly. It can be misused.

Goblin horde approaching undefended fortress? Wall them up and they won't harm you any more.

[Tarrasque]

Well, it is used for a feature will have later on and it would be rather obvious if someone was using it to be abusive to the system. I just like it cause I can make rooms for people without having non-decorated walls, which bothers me.

Oh, as a note, Wether you allow it or not, sign me up.

[Kylaer]

I'm in!

[PresidentEvil]

If you have to cut out gems for a mood, you can rewall. Ore in the walls, you can't rewall.

Anything else, ask before you try it.

[Tarrasque]

Got it Evil, may I ask where you are planning on making our grand fortress at? Before River? After River? After Chasm?

[Gaulgath]

Alright, sign me up to rule this hellhole!

[Veroule]

I guess I might as well give one of these a try.  Sign me in for a year.

[PresidentEvil]

I usually build my forts beyond the river and the chasm. All my smithing goes right up against the magma river.

EDIT: Okay, we've got a preliminary lineup for our group of motley criminals and psychopaths. They are:

->1.) PresidentEvil
2.) Tarrasque
3.) Kylaer
4.) Gaulgath
5.) Veroule
6.) Short_dwarf
7.) RPB
8.) Metalax

Signups are still open. For the moment.

Sign me up

[Tarrasque]

Alrighty, this'll be my first fortress actually beyond the chasm. Are you setting up floodgate farming? I am assuming you are since I doubt your farms are going to be that far from the main fortress. Unless of course the river\chasm area is really small on this map.

[RPB]

If there's room, I'll play too. Assuming we're not planning on bailing once the new version comes out (since going through 6 year-long turns might take you through to the release...)

[Tarrasque]

If I got a hold of my turn today I would probrably have it done by tomarrow. Although, that depends on what my goals were. Mostly what I am planning on doing is making sure we have booze, food, and security. After that I will probrably start up an underground forest so the person three turns after me can get some wood.

[Metalax]

Sign me up. After seven years of previous rule, this should be interesting.
