Heyaa... Hoping I'm right about how this works. I nominate Dwarven... "Child Care" for the Hall of Legends.

Basically, it was the idea (partially successful) of turning children into superpowered fireproof warriors by the time they were 12... using extremely controversial methods.

Whole-hearted support for this.
Pit fighting toddlers equals Dwarven ‼Science‼ at its finest.

An update on one of the first games to make it into the hall of legends, a game that has been in the active category ever since.

The game ran for more than three years, but the inevitable has finally happened, Halltraded has come to an end. Floods, fires, elves, goblins, undead carp, tantrum spirals, alcohol bans and exploding suicide trade caravans could not bring it down. A lot of things in this fortress failed, but it also failed to die. We finally decided to abandon and move on.

I vote for Dwarven Child Care, and I'm totally not biased because I wrote a story in that thread loosely based on Girlinhat's experiences.

Welcome to April ladies and gents, and with the new month comes new eligibility- Trailgross the Castle of Wonder and Dwarven... "Child Care" are now eligible to receive votes. In particular, the votes cast for the latter didn't count the first time around because the topic wasn't yet eligible to receive them. If you still consider it worthy of induction, feel free to recast your vote and it will be added.

Now, I vote for Dwarven Child Care.

[Elanorea]

I vote for Weatherwires.

As I was saying, Dwarven... "Child Care"  (like regular child care, only with rabid dogs instead of care) gets my vote.

Hello!

I wish to nominate an active fort being hosted on Broken Forum. It is called Glazedcoast, and it is magnificent.

Hm, brief synopsis... I shall quote the creator, Bleaktea:

"Okay, sure, we came out here to strip-mine the local landscape, and trained a squad of axe-wielding child soldiers to slaughter the indigenous population as well as murder an ancient being's family and friends one by one right in front of him. Yes, Sinthad's life has been so brutal and bloody that she is little more than a dead-eyed killer at 19. Yes, the arrival of a kindly and just King did nothing to improve the lives of the dwarves, because the problem is not people like Logem but rather the entire dwarven culture. Yes, Glazedcoast is a glass box filled with mud and dead plants, covered in sickening phlegm, below which sits a festering hole leading deep into the bowels of the earth; yes, its major exports are weapons and suffering; yes, there is not a single family that has not lost a child to monsters or the arrogance of the military. I have had endangered birds shot and left their bodies to rot on the ground. I allowed a four-hundred-year-old vampire queen to be ripped limb from limb to discover the limits of her powers. I have thrown innocents into battle with vicious goblins simply because the amazing works of art they produced did not amaze me quite enough. I have made pies out of puppies.

This is grim? This is monstrous? THIS. IS. DWARF! FORTRESS!

Holy tugboats. (Ellen FTW!)

Read Glazedcoat now. Seriously. Beat fort ever, apart from Botmurdered and Nist Akath.

[Powder Miner]

I vote Weatherwires.
Also why do you keep the vote system for finished threads?

[Talvieno]

Revoting for dwarven child care... if the last time around didn't count.

Ohhhh, yes... That would definitely deserve a nomination... even if just partially I'm saying that because I wrote a story there... But there's so much good material in that thread, it's insane.


Also, if I still can, I vote for Weatherwires. It belongs here.
