NOW WE'RE IN FUCKING BUSINESS

[skalnik]

Nice :beers:

[drobati]

Being attacked.

[drobati]

Hopefully we survive this attack. I've got a lot to do. :open_mouth:

[sshirokov]

Way not to die.

Glad the bridge actually worked :grin:

I have no idea what you mean specifically by using garbage dumps for stone and gems though. Do you dump them all and reclaim to fill the stocks instead of just letting them litter around until dorfs get to it?

[skalnik]

So glad the bridge worked and the lever was found. While it may not be in the best spot, I tried to make it super obvious.

[sshirokov]

Someone is drunk with power.

[skalnik]

It was an accident :crying_cat_face:

[skalnik]

@drobati Any updates here?

[sshirokov]

What's going on?! ARE YOU ALIVE?!

UPDATE PLEASE, ASAP I'm losing :money_with_wings: here.

[drobati]

Is this shit over already?

I kind of got screwed on 5th Granite.

[drobati]

or ?

[sshirokov]

How did the goblins get in?!

[skalnik]

AM I THE ONLY DECENT LEADER HERE?! Jesus. @sshirokov gives me one dwarf, I fix everything, and then @drobati loses to the goblins. What even.

[sshirokov]

Shots fired.

What were your accomplishments again? Waiting for immigrants?

[skalnik]

What were your accomplishments again? Waiting for immigrants?

Saving the fort.

[sshirokov]

Saving the fort.

Like, literally hitting save after letting the game run for a year without action? GG

BETTER THAN @drobati

[sshirokov]

BETTER THAN @drobati

Hear, hear :exclamation: :grey_exclamation:

[sshirokov]

Is this shit over already?

What are the options? Can you just like, win instead?

[drobati]

Oh come on! On day 5, I went under siege. All the dwarfs started throwing tantrums and going berserk. There was no food or drinks... I started a well but then realized there was no way to channel the tunnel to the reservoir, and by the time the dwarves got water it would be too late. Not having any combat experience (The marksdwarves I made probably weren't capable anyway) I thought they would shoot over the bridge but they wouldnt. So I opened the gate, and the fucking goblins ran inside. It turned melee and by that time it was too late to pull the lever which for some reason was placed at the bridge rather than in a meeting hall?

[drobati]

I think I should abandon this fort, start a new one, and pass it a long to the next player on the next 1st Granite. Fresh start for happy dwarves. :beers:

[skalnik]

All the dwarfs started throwing tantrums and going berserk.

Probably due to your murdering.

placed at the bridge rather than in a meeting hall?

I opted for obvious over connivence. MY BAD

I think I should abandon this fort, start a new one, and pass it a long to the next player on the next 1st Granite. Fresh start for happy dwarves.

I think you should try to win. Slava will remain a dwarf and maybe we'll get migrants or some shit. Birdclasps has almost fallen before, but recovered, lets try to do it again. (@sshirokov originally proposed this in IRC last night). NEVER GIVE IN TO THE GOBLINS! DIE TRYING!

[drobati]

@skalnik They threw tantrums because their loved ones bodies were stuck outside when the siege happened.

@skalnik They threw tantrums because their loved ones bodies were stuck outside when the siege happened.

A LIKELY STORY. They were probably just driven mad by the murder of their amazing leader, Skalnik II.

[drobati]

Also the base is overrun. I tried making a squad of ten dwarves but they couldn't do anything against the goblins. I have to abandon and reclaim the fort I think.

[drobati]

I didn't murder him. I eliminated a threat to the community.

[skalnik]

Also the base is overrun. I tried making a squad of ten dwarves but they couldn't do anything against the goblins. I have to abandon and reclaim the fort I think.

All I'm saying is you should try as hard as possible. Use my saving of the fort as inspiration.

[drobati]

I'll see what I can do.

[skalnik]

I'll see what I can do.

Do it for Birdclasps. We believe in you!

[drobati]

Losing 40 dwarves is pretty heartbreaking. :broken_heart:

I'll do it in their honor.

[skalnik]

You're the leader we need.

[sshirokov]

I think I should abandon this fort

No.

[sshirokov]

NEVER GIVE IN TO THE GOBLINS! DIE TRYING!

Yes.

[sshirokov]

Can we get a z status up in this?

[skalnik]

Just a heads up: You have a week to reclaim the fort and play a year.

[sshirokov]

Update: No update: Please update?

[skalnik]

HEY @DROBATI ANY UPDATES?!

[drobati]

No updates. Couldn't find time to work on this.

[sshirokov]

LifeHack :tm:

You can quit your, or any job to play Dwarf Fortress

[skalnik]

No updates. Couldn't find time to work on this.

I found some time for you :clock1:

[drobati]

I'll see if I can cut out some time tonight.

[drobati]

I know this was an unpopular move with you two but FUCK reclaiming items. Literally every item in the base was spaced out 2 blocks apart in a grid covering the ENTIRE map. That means even the outside...

[drobati]

So between having a half army, half citizen embark. I just decided it wasn't for me.

[sshirokov]

Yeah, re-embark is definitely not how this works :|

[sshirokov]

I know this was an unpopular move with you two but FUCK reclaiming items.

then don't? Make new shit.

[sshirokov]

Yeah, re-embark is definitely not how this works :|

In re-consideration: I don't care. Roll how you will. :+1: I'll give a shit if it comes back around to my turn.

:confetti_ball:

[sshirokov]

Having an opinion is too hard, is what I'm getting at. Do whatever's fun and I'll see what happens as a result.

Sorry.

[drobati]

Thank you for the apology. I may reconsider after some sleep.

[sshirokov]

Thank you for the apology. I may reconsider after some sleep.

Yeah, I'm a bit bad at taking things too seriously too fast for no reason :crying_cat_face:

If you keep rolling (which you should), go ahead and merge this and open a new PR for the new fort so it's easier to follow for the rest of y.127 (Though change the name in the header of Roadclapped/README.md, since it's still the same)
