Finally, an LP using the new version! I'd love to throw my hat into the ring for potential overseership but with my current job it'd be impossible. Still, can't wait to see where this swamphole goes. (to hell, most likely)

OP, am I wrong or was it yourself who started the Grandmirrors(or something) DF LP a while ago? The delay here isn't by any chance you trying to mine out a massive intricate forge level one z above the magma sea, as a a result having to spend ages unpausing and redesignating dig spots as the dwarves cancel due to warm stone...?

It's been a while since I caught one of these on the ground floor, as it were. Why, I'm only the 189th person on the dwarfing list! Practically among the first seven, that is!

I am glad that you're doing this LP, I haven't played DF in a while and a new version + LP is the perfect time for me try and carve out a new dwarf settlement.

I did do Grandmirror a while back, yes. (nothing more to be said about that.) And no, the delay is for issues that happened in meatspace. The year is done; I've just got some image cropping to do and then I'll post my update and open the OVERSEER LOTTERY.

Given how child dwarves are typically undesired by those who sign up, would it be possible to basically consider them separately? Just looking at the spreadsheet, out of 234 sign-ups, only 7 specified wishing to be a child dwarf. 2.9%! By comparison, adult dwarves were specified for 114 out of the 234: 48%. An idea comes to mind, based on the obvious situation of readers wanting to be assigned dwarves who will be doing things and won't take in-game years, quite possibly real-time months, to be notable. That being, this could help ameliorate the classic "aww, the dwarf list is super long, I'll never get in" issue a bit. Simply, children are not filled in during regular dwarf-naming via birth/migration. One has to specifically ask to be a child to be assigned a child dwarf. On one hand, this means that the list can progress slightly slower (migrations almost certainly will be outpacing birth rates in terms of population growth), but on the other it means that a prospective new participant can 'skip the line' by accepting the drawbacks of being dwarfed as a child. Alternatively, due to how raws work, replacing [CHILD:12] with [CHILD:1] or something in the dwarf raw would mean that the fort would only need to wait 1 year for a newborn child (migrant children always arrive as at least age 2) to become an adult. Cheating? A little bit. Would it make things more streamlined? I think that'd be worth it. At the very least, growth hormone jokes. Although, come to think of it, I'm not sure if this would lead to actual rapid physical adulthood or just child labor/soldiers. As usual, mad science ends up my focus in these threads. This was such a benevolent idea until I realized that! Anything involving the [LAYS_UNUSUAL_EGGS] token is hilarious, semi-related.

That sounds pretty good, otherwise they're useless for a long time before getting slaughtered because their mother decided to drag them into battle, into the middle of nowhere and get ambushed, or into the caves and die when they get blocked in.

DannyGlands' Fifth Entry Winter has arrived on the calendar. Nine months. It has been nine months, more or less, since we came here. We stand at 21 dwarves and our food stores are holding steady, thanks to the ability of our turkeys to squat out eggs that can be made into wonderful... egg stews. Don't the humans have another name for it? Eh, doesn't matter. Our industry is going well. With nothing to mine, I've decided to add the miners to the Masonry Corps... temporarily, until further expansion is needed. Industry is good, and we're surviving. ~~ 8th Opal Woytaz has suddenly dropped his drink and started yelling for a glass furnace. Uh-oh... I call for Ninjewtsu to help out. Thank the gods we have two glassmakers! ~~ 20th Opal Woytaz keeps muttering something about "Takuthkonos" needing raw green glass... ninjewtsu is working as fast as she can. I am worried about Woytaz, he looks extremely thirsty. ~~ 24th Opal Woytaz has apparently gotten all he needs to build what he was struck with the inspiration for... Hopefully he finishes it before he dehydrates completely. ~~ 1st Obsidian There was a yell coming from the glass furnaces. Woytaz has apparently woken from his stupor, yelling about why he was here when he was so drat thirsty and what this gem was. He then stomped off to the drinking halls. I took a look at what he left behind, a gem with a picture of a book on it. Apparently it is called Chasmbrass. Too bad woytaz doesn't remember a drat thing about making it, it's really perfect. ~~ 11th Obsidian It may be a bit on the morbid side, but I have recieved word that the mausoleum is ready. The seven coffins that greet visitors to the necropolis are reserved for me and the six others who started building this place, so that we may never be forgotten... Of course, it's expandable. The necropolis holds space for more coffins to give dwarves their final rest, plus a plan for a tomb for a royal, if one comes to stay here in Fogwall. ~~ As the year comes to a close, I reflect on how we got here. Seven outcasts from a mad administrator's rampage start a rather nice fort that even manages to trade with the mountain halls. For someone who was supposed to die from exile, I consider myself very lucky. And now the time has come to close this chapter of Fogwall. May my successor continue to keep us thriving. The wet season has arrived! Spring has arrived on the calendar. Status, end of 550 Overseer Lottery time! Just state your intent to oversee Fogwall in this thread, and in 48 hours I will randomly select the Overseer for the next year from those who spoke up. Here is the savegame for those interested.
