Screw it, put me on the overseer list. I'll binge through the thread as fast as I can. Still gonna hope bloop gets to it first.

Edit: Oops, forgot. Not much progress lately.

Edit: Damn it never mind. Can't do this right now.  Sorry.

Hell, I've already forgotten the majority of it by now.

The trick is to only make predictions semi-seriously.  That way, I don't have a 98% failure rate. I have a 98% sarcasm rate.

Sorry to get your hopes up.

Edit: No really, I can't do this. Someone else has to. I haven't had much time for the forums, and even less for dwarf fortress itself.

Hope this isn't dead? I can't take a turn for a while but I love Pocketball and I'd hate to see it get forgotten.

At this point, if anyone can take the save, take it. I REALLY want to see if my arena actually works.

Sod it, I'm on it.  No promises on an entire year, but I'll at least get you a season.

Edit:  Hopefully.

Just please pit some of the goblins against some of the more useless partially trained animals in my arena, then flood them out into the caverns.

I have no idea how to pit things, let alone creatures, let alone sentients.

I left some *very* detailed instructions on my final update, but if you can't work it then I guess we could wait for the next overseer to try it out.

For working the mechanical parts of the arena, yes, and I can operate that with those instructions.  I just have no idea how the "pitting" mechanic works nor how to tell the game/dwarfs to do it.

It's a figure of speech. Just get them to fight each other.

Glass is, as usual, correct.
Yep, as ever, I bestow upon Glass the expected +1
I'm gonna say we go with whatever Glass's idea is.

I don't know how I managed to misread your the post so badly.  Looking back, your the meaning is indeed obvious.  My apologies for being a pain in the arse.

Edit:  Oh for crying out loud, what was I on that day, managing to mistake you both for the same person?

Also edit:  I've finally gotten around to setting up the save.  If someone else wants to take a turn instead, please, go ahead, as I'm rather scatterbrained lately and forgot about this for a few days.

Alright, loaded the save, and the first thing I see is a reservoir full of blood and corpses.  This bodes well, I'm sure.  Nothing dire going on here, not on your life.

Edit 1:  Sakzul, what the hell are you doing in the reservoir intake?

Edit 2:  Goblins, less than one minute after unpausing.  Bloody lovely.
Also, "He didn't feel anything after seeing the elf an unknown creature die."  We don't know what elves are?  Or are we merely denying that such a thing can exist?  "What elves?  What's an elf?"

Edit 3:  I started using 0.44.10, and this is going to be my first experience with the memory system, so this could go very, very "well".

Edit 4:  The trade depot is lost among a veritable mountain of vomit.  What the hell happened here?

Edit 5:  I have no idea what levers control the surface drawbridges.  Also, one of the goblins is wielding a book and a musical instrument.

 - - - - - - - - - -

This is a poorly-designed xOverseer's Journalx.  It is encircled with bands of solidified vomit.  It is encrusted with the sounds of the last wits of a would-be overseer snapping and the screams of the damned.  On the item is an image of a Gabite in ectoplasm.



[There are nonsensical scribbles on the first few pages, followed by two pages of Daemonic]

Sorry, I'm going to have to pass.  Things are too hectic right now.

Yeah, there were a lot of unintended deaths caused by the reservoirs. A surprisingly large amount of dwarves were more willing to rush in to clean the pond scum in the intakes than to clean all of the vomit off of the trade depot. And as you'd expect, it eventually got to a point where they were swept in. I thought I got that last guy out of the lower reservoir, but if he isn't out by now he's screwed. We're also still on 0.43 something, so migrating is probably a bad idea. I don't think I know where that lever is either, but I think it's on the left side of the hospital, but not that it really matters because the moat doesn't really help us that much.

Anyone else willing to take the save for a year?

Sakzul actually made it out of the intake after a few attempts at climbing out.  I was surprised.  Right after that, the goblins showed up.  There is another dwarf in the primary reservoir, however.  They're "Adequate Swimmer", but I'm pretty sure that they're boned.
