Nice one - I've been looking forward to an LP of this edition of DF. Alligator-punching and weirdly specific gods: a promising start, I think. Loving those Stonesense trees, too.

Being 150th on the list should make me annoyed I might not get a chance, but I know dwarves will start dropping like flies soon enough so I'm not worried.

I was thinking the same thing, being fiftieth. Before I realized that that's like 3-4 waves of migrants.

I finished reading Fallout 2 and decided to check the board for a new thing to follow and was just lucky enough to see this. Really excited for whatever crazy things happen and this is the first time I've gotten on the list in a spot number < 200. No one has died yet so maybe we won't be murdered by trees after all...

Is it weird that the only thing I really want out of DF lets play is for someone to play out the lyrics to 'Hall of the Mountain King'?

 DannyGlands' Third Journal Entry I am not sure how much left we have to drink.  Reading is our bookkeeper, but he does not have an office yet, so he cannot take a detailed inventory yet. In our time of setting up, though, I sadly shake my head and say we should start the still only when we have to rush to the river and drink water to slake our thirst. Hopefully this will not happen. ~~  The miners have discovered some low-value gems while excavating the area to store useless trade goods. We also have a trade depot ready, in case the Rhythmic Ropes decides to send out a trade delegation. Also, I need to think about making individual rooms for ourselves. Scamtank's snoring wakes me up constantly.  Rulush the Heavenly Clam visits this place often, it appears. ~~ There is a section scratched out here. ~~  ... I just beat up a rattlesnake with my bare hands. My god, being in the swamp has gotten to me... Espilae ran out with some logs, made an impromptu butcher's shop, and made food out of the rattlesnake I strangled. Waste not, want not, I guess? ~~ Summer has arrived on the calendar. ~~ Time to start laying out the fortress proper -- what we were doing is merely a hole in the cliff...  This will be the working level. It's expandable, and the rooms that are being dug out can work as both offices and workshops. Across the hall is the warehouse, which is also expandable.  This will be the Great Hall and the relaxation level. Also included will be a food storepile with a passage heading to the fields up on the Entry Level. Possible further uses for this level could include a statue garden and rooms for the nobility.  And below that we have the habitat level, a place where every dwarf may have a room. Spaces are big enough for the average dwarf, yet small enough so that rooms pack easily. Plus a project a few levels below I'm not ready to tell anyone about yet.

Dire posted:Man, it's been a long while since I fiddled with DF. The multi-level trees look sweet. They look great. They drop leaves and stuff seasonally. The first time red started spreading across my map I thought it was fire, nope, just red autumn leaves. In some biomes the meadows erupt into seasonal flowers. So cool. Mechanically, the multi-level trees drop tons of wood. If you are in a biome that has wood at all you'll have no bed shortages. In a forest biome you can have so much charcoal from wood that finding magma isn't really a priority. Unfortunately, the big trees sometimes lose branches or something that triggers the "collapse" detection and does a zoom and pause. This can also happen while cutting trees. Annoying. Worse still, if you've mined out the layer right below the surface, the "collapsing" wood can punch holes through the surface just as though it was a stone collapse. Trees!

The residents of Fogwall continue to express a fondness for beating the poo poo out of reptiles. I wonder if they'll move on to mammals or giant insects anytime soon. Maybe they'll even get to thrash something sapient.

DannyGlands' Fourth Entry The discovery of fire clay in the relaxation level means we can move our farms down deeper and not have them at such a vulnerable spot at the fortress entrance. I will inform Espilae of this. Horrors... what I designated to be the residential level was made of clay as well. This will not work as all. I'm telling the miners to scrub this floor and move the plans down. I will not be sleeping in a room of clay when there is the potential of sleeping in a room of stone! ~~ 16th Malachite I am actually writing down the date today as it appears that some dwarves have left the more established cities to come to this little hole-in-the-cliff. They are:
Our population now stands at 13, which now includes two married couples. I wonder if their children will come later. ~~ The dry season has come. Autumn has arrived on the calendar. ~~ 14th Limestone Traders! And an outpost liason! I guess there must have been a change in power in the Administrators Guild back in the capital -- the bitch would never have sent traders out here, in a place that was supposed to be our unmarked grave. ~~ I woke up to find the outpost liason sitting on the foot of the bed I was in. "Uh, how is it going?" I asked him. "The world is the same as ever." "Ah... nothing about anything back home? Any shakeups in the Administrators Guild?" "Ah yes... she was found dead back in the summer, with 'I AM NOT YOUR TOY' carved into her forehead... the captain of the guard calls it an accident." "An awful specific accident..." "Yes. Anyway--" "OI! WHERE'S THE TRADER OF THIS ELFHOLE?!" screamed a voice outside the dormatory. "I'll talk to you later," I said as I rushed to the depot. ~~ 10th Sandstone More migrants are coming...
Our fortress population is now 21. ~~ We have finalized an agreement with the mountainhomes. They are asking for:  and we are requesting mostly booze. ~~  We have found native platinum while digging out living quarters! Now if only we can get the beds made, but our carpenter is finding excuse after excuse.

I'm sure there is a more useless (but healthy) dwarf than I am. I'm still pretty useless though, look at those attributes. "Quick to tire" "flimsy" "bad intuition" "clumsy kinesthetic sense." I would make a terrible draftee, and I'm pretty sure quick to tire makes me pretty useless for most anything else. Plus I'm a GLASSMAKER. The SECOND ONE.

(That is, constructing a pump crank with nothing attached and making a dwarf do nothing but turn the crank for a year or so?)

Ospram was the sole giant in the world. The only one of its kind, sprung into existence in a time before time. He was a monster, wandering the world and pillaging and murdering wherever he went. He seized whatever took his fancy, and scores died in the process. This went on for centuries. One day, he came upon the young fortress of Stakeweight in the Mirrors of Baldness. With a roar, he hurled himself at the gates. And promptly fell into my green glass serrated disc Cuisinart. All that's left is the cleanup. For the record, he made it alive through two layers of disc traps before succumbing to the third.

So that could have been it... I also note that I have an very odd relationship with spiders.
