Oh. Well, I recommend that you read some of his books. They're quite good!

I live and I'm up for a turn. But I'm not sure which is the most recent save. Is it the gwolfski save with just two of us remaining?

If this fortress is in dire need of another overseer, I might be willing to take a turn. While I don't have much experience in the way of narrative/storytelling, I do have a great deal of experience with playing version 0.23 (and might be able to help get this fortress back on the road to recovery) and I'm 99% guaranteed to not have any scheduling problems.

It's amazing how dwarves can make a stack of bones completely waterproof and magmaproof.
It's amazing how they can make an entire floodgate out of the bones of 2 cats.

You're completely welcome to have my slot as its only been one completed turn since I lit the place on fire. I would love to see what you would do with a 23a fortress.

Take it. I'm excited to see what you can do with the place.

Sooooooooooo...

Quietust (I'm assuming that you have the save), how would you rate the fortress state of affairs?

It looks like a total mess - it's the beginning of Spring, and there are only 2 living dwarves in the fortress. However, the Mountainhomes are aware of the low population (they last received communication in Autumn 1063), and a migrant wave is scheduled to arrive on the 1st of Felsite, but they won't make it unless the Goblins are eliminated in time (a siege is scheduled to arrive on the 15th of Granite, just one day after the Elven caravan).

[edit] Note that I technically haven't yet agreed to play a turn - I'm just examining what I might potentially be up against.

Also, any reason why that save download includes a second copy of itself from a week prior?

Also, that save is from over a month ago - haven't several people played turns since then, or were they all aborted?

We had several aborted attempts at turns. The last completed turns were mine and then Gwolfski's. I played 1062, Gwolfski should have played through 1063, so the current save should be 1064, but I can't check it right now.

Long-time lurker here. Just wanted to say that this is possibly one of the greatest train wrecks I have ever seen a succession game become without being destroyed. Props to all of you.



Also, when/if the fort becomes functional again, dwarf me as Namlet.
