    Yay! Elf-killing! *grin*

    Hrm, so I'm the resident mining badass, it seems. I can get behind that. Those picks are nasty. :lol:

    Wow, this game has quite the learning curve. I'm hours in and feel like I'm just scratching the surface.

    Well at least you picked up on my love for beer. Though I am usually fond of peace, I'll stay in character and say that whenever I am drunk, the Elves can burn!

    Dwarves only drink alcohol.

    21st Galena: The farmers have been farming too slowly for us to keep up. There is a problem with hunger in Treebane!

    19th Limestone (Month 7, Year 2): Some Dwarven traders came, so we sold them our cloth bin for some food. This should tide us over for a while.

    16th Sandstone (Month 8, Year 2): Mesteut has been possessed!

    11th Moonstone (Month 10, Year 2): Mesteut is a bitch when he's possessed. Everybody got together to start an entire leather industry to meet his needs. Today, he started work on this mysterious 'Kulinid' he has babbled about for two months.

    16th Moonstone: After 5 days of work, Mesteut has produced this:

    That's when our finely chiseled faces crease and distort themselves to produce a stiff upper lip and in the face of overwhelming odds say "not bloody likely!".

    Of course, that sort of attitude didn't work for the British at Gandamak, but it's just the sort of comment that makes for nice 300 moments. If you absolutely have to die, why not do it in style?

    How am I supposed to destroy this fortress now that I'm crippled?

    Xaio, you don't mind having a crippled lover do you? I'm pretty good on my back.

    Studies actually indicate that even when the woman is on top, it is the man that burns the most calories, thereby doing most of the work.

    We can therefore conclude that even when on top, women are lazy, and in the name of equality it is only right and fitting that they do the brunt of the household chores.

    I'm holding you to that. No, really, holding you in quite a sensitive place at that.

    Around the time of my last update, I noticed that Magikot's wounds had turned to 'yellow' (which is seriously injured) instead of 'red' (mangled), so he may one day walk again. It could take years, though. During one particularly strange moment, nobody was bringing him water so he almost died. I think they're trying to pull it out of the chasm waterfalls (there are two now, I'm irrigating), and keep canceling because the tiles are only filled for a few seconds at a time.

    I am completely hopeless at DF and probably can't play anyway, but I'm quite happy to be in the next wave if you're still taking applicants.

    Great job so far though.

    This particular fortress might die, because DF2010 may or may not have just been released.

    Bastard developer. From what I've downloaded, this seems legitimate, but all the DF chats and forums are down, so there is no way to really confirm.

    Yeah, the release they brought yesterday was buggy as hell. You couldn't even farm.
