\o/ Welcome back!  This has long been my favorite community fort.  I can't believe my dorf is still alive!

Actually, between the exploits of him and the other Catalyst over at Failcannon, I'm thoroughly impressed with all my dorfs. 

But NOT, mind you, as impressed as I am with your storytelling.  Thanks again for all the fantastic entertainment.

I opened up the Unread Replies page and saw that you were the last poster. I got scared. Something about you posting scares me, ever since Failcannon.

Just found this today, and am thoroughly amused.
I'll take a dorf. A farmer, I think.

Thanks guys. Ironically, the update came about because I've actually been too ill to work on what I'm meant to be doing. Hopefully I can keep the trend going, but without the debilitating flu virus.

Kisame is married to Squadron Leader and has two children, Vorthon and Maxrmk, one year old and three months old respectively. It's actually pretty hard to track all the relationships, especially since the surface just got another lot of migrants.

Karakzon, some of the Rockfalls dwarves are hardened to tragedy, so hopefully at least a few would survive a tantrum spiral.

Theifofdreams and NobodyPro, I'll dorf you soon.

“Well,” he said. “We’re in the Forgotten hunting grounds I take it. Your screams just woke them up early. Congratulations, Lyara.”
“Do something!” she whispered, trying to keep her sight on all of them at once.
Basileus clapped his hands once. The Forgotten took a step forward, attracted by the sound.

I just found this. I was worried when I reached that hiatus. Was worried it had died before I'd even read it. Glad to see it's up and kicking.
Really entertaining stuff, here. Especially the cracks at DF's various quirks. Like ghosts siring babies? (didn't know abotu that one)

Toady typically doesn't do things by half measures.  As evidenced by turning "make hauling work better" into "implement mine carts with physics".
There are many issues with this statement.

This is the best story fort I've read in a long time!

I'd liked to be dorfed whenever. I don't care gender/age or if its a migrant or no. :)

I would like to be a mechanically inclined dwarf, though.

♥♥♥ ~ Diary of Billy Bob, Jeweller ~ ♥♥♥

Today I am cutting gems and also, decorating them!

Stukos has been helping me and telling me what to do. He is really fun for a ghost! He can't hold tools but he has ***the best*** ideas.

I've been working all morning and afternoon! I am super hungry, but I keep going! Nobody has told me to stop yet.
The cheese pile is right nearby and the smell is driving me crazy!

Luckily I can fall into a pattern of work and write a list of all of Stukos's good ideas. It's really easy, what you do is, you cut the gem, and then you decorate the thing.

So work goes like this!

Hatch cover. Cut glass into dots, speckle on top.
Dog skull. Cut glass into circles, loop them around.
Coffin. Cut glass into sad faces, put decorations on handles.
Dog skull. Cut glass into squares, glue them onto teeth of dog skull.
Mechanism. Cut glass into spikes, encrust on surfaces. Listen to McClay. McClay yells: don't clog the hinge with glass next time, idiot.
Dog skull. Cut glass into little dwarf shapes, put in eye holes.
Iron arrow, from the crumbly body of that dead guy. Cut glass into little rings, loop them around.
Dog skull. Cut glass into shape of Squadron Leader becoming militia leader. Get shouted at for implying Squadron Leader is a 'bitch'. Cry. Throw skull into magma.
Floodgate. Encrust all surfaces with green glass. Wipe snot and tears off floodgate.
Dog skull. Cut glass into long, menacing spikes. Drive into bone, really hard. Glare tearfully at anyone who walks past.
Duckling. Apply glue, realise duckling should not be decorated with green glass. Return duckling to mother duck. Get pecked by furious mother duck. Try to unstick hand from duckling. Try to unstick duckling from mother duck. Get pecked again.
Dog skull. Cut glass into shape of angry duck. Get scared of green glass duck. Abandon.
Mechanism. Cut glass into very small diamonds. Encrust on surfaces. Don't clog the hinge this time.
Dog skull. Cut glass into shape of Goden bossing people around. Rethink. Cut shapes into small random shapes. Grind these up into even smaller bits. Cover dog skull in green glass glitter.
Iron arrow. Cut glass into big rings this time. Loop around the arrow. Get shouted at again, this time for ruining a perfectly good arrow. Run and hide in cheese pile.

Just finished reading this thread. Awesome. One thing I can't tell; I usually stay out of the community games, since I assume they can't possibly top Boatmurdered. Are you guys doing the control a season thing, control a year thing, or is Dante running everything and you just post after he updates? How is this going?

Dante runs everything, if you didn't notice.

Well, you do have a busy life, what with keeping tabs on wild, rough-and-tumble forum members while sorting out the drama between your twenty two inner lesbians.
Your drunk posts continue to baffle me.
