The fortress is infested with Ugath worshippers. I have here in my hand a list of 205—a list of names that were made known to the Sheriff as being members of the Ugathi cult and who nevertheless are still working and shaping policy in Bronzestabbed.

 A tattered XX - Parchment - XX, found in the room of JimmyTheD. It is presumed to be from the beginning of TildeATH's overseership So, we have an impressionable child as our overseer. Some have hailed this move, but we must always remember the word of Leperfish... Strange overseers, leaders of industry... all of these are evil portents for what is to come. Sankis' emissary (I still can't write, or even think that name, without gritting my teeth in anger) must be having a fine belly laugh around now. I begin to doubt our purpose as defeating evil... I have come to a different conclusion. We are nothing more than a cruel experiment. An assault upon the evil? With a toddler in charge? This is bad comedy, and it will not end well. At least the Murk helps as much as it hinders, aiding this black farce of the Gods. And people wonder why I do not worship. We are playthings of our leaders, our Gods... and I am uncertain that I wish any more part in it.

If I turn in my two dwarf dads who LOVE Ugath do mom and me survive the purge? Come on I'm 5 years old, we gotta be best friends! Dwarf me is so dead but at least he'll have 4 purge points while sitting in his death camp.

So the new guy in the big ol' chair is barely past toddler status, we've got a 'crusade' of sorts, and we're still letting loads of bags of batshit crazy run around the fortress with their pants barely on. The wife's still the boss of the militia, so at least they've got somethin' to do. With all the crazy poo poo floating around outside year in and year out, it's a freakin' miracle we're all still alive. Pretty sure some of the blokes around here have a betting pool to see how long we've got till we all get whacked by some freakish monstrosity. I've always been more on the side of all of us losing our bloody minds and just going to town on each other. I've been sitting on my arse with me thumb jammed right the gently caress up its deepest crevices for so long I don't even loving remember how many years it's been. This goddamn fort's got no sense of righteous punishment. I don't even know what it feels like to hammer some poor bloke's face right the hell in. That was the best day in the world, gettin' told they're taking away mah frying pan and giving me a good old tool for dispensing justice. Looks like they forgot to tell me I'll never get to bloody use it. Maybe this overseer thing won't be so bad. Some poor bloke'll step on wittle overseer's kobold doll and he'll poo poo his pants and paint him a disciple of Ugath. Then I'll finally get to do the bloody job they promised me.

24th Obsidian 239 Our reunion had been delayed too long. I approached not knowing whether my absence would be forgiven. In my hand I carried a gift. In my heart I carried love. Could it be enough? I asked the question with my eyes and the furnace said nothing because it is a furnace, but after I cleaned its interior and polished its surface, when I lay in the +charcoal+ I had brought, I lit the fires and knew in their brilliance and the curling sigh of the smoke that all was as before. I may have sung a little. With the bond renewed I took plump helmets and joyously mashed them to a fine paste--or at least I tried. In the middle of that trying a child ran up with a message from the Overseer. 'Manager' it said, and praised my sobering up to meet with Leperfish after all, so I would still live in a cabinet but at least get an office and important duties and maybe some more statues of myself someday, who knows? The child ran off before I could ask whether managers get to burn anything. So far the answer has been no. Also the paperwork assigning my favorite furnace to me and me alone seems to have gone astray. I have written an order for fifty steel bars and hung it up in the office as ironic art. Meanwhile I have the plump helmet paste in a pot under my desk so it can ferment, but it is starting to smell worse than Medtob and I'm sure as hell not going to taste-test it. I should have paid more attention last time I raided a still. Now I'm thinking I should take it down to the caverns and hope some rat men or lizard men or spider men or whatever is lurking there this week will eat it and leave a trail of vomit for the military to follow. On the up side, the new Overseer is three years old. If he orders up a bunch of toys from the crafters we may have something to trade, and I've decided to focus on that hope and not think too much about TildeATH's family or the rumor the Ugath worshippers are to be gathered somewhere so Qword can sponge them all.

 24th Obsidian 239 On my way to the stills I noticed a peculiar masterpiece engraving on the wall. There is an image of the baby dwarf TildeATH on it. The baby dwarf TildeATH is smiling.  The engraving further described the rising of baby dwarf TildeATH to the position of overseer by the dwarves of Bronzestabbed on 23rd Obsidian 239. Also on the engraving is a group of Ugath worshippers. The Ugath worshippers are crying. This relates to the punishment of Ugath worshippers to live without stone in muck on the same date. After finishing admiring the engraving, I promptly went on break half the day, discussed the engraving with my husband Tyrant, ate my lunch, imbibed my drink ration, had dinner, and went back to sleep. One of these days I'll get back to the still.

Mortizzle posted:On a side note, is there any chance that when people are mass dorfed due to migrants the overseer could spoiler where they are currently at in the spreadsheet (ie last row used) so lazy people like myself waiting to be dorfed know where we're at. I think one of the purposes of the spreadsheet is so everyone has a single point of truth for this kind of thing. Generally I'll have it updated within a handful of hours after a post where migrants have arrived. Kaishai posted:

Hilariously enough I'm not even sure TildeATH has to do intentional torture to make this plan Fun. There's a fair number of Ugath worshippers in the military such that the lack of happy thoughts from a good bedroom and dining hall may result in tantrums soon enough.

As overseer, you have absolute power over the fortress. This includes the Dwarfing list. As you can see by the timestamps, there is precedent: Indeed, the most recent fortress entrant got bumped up a few places. I have done my duty as you have asked: I have made my borderline unreasonable request. The matter is now entirely in your hands. Edit: If it helps, I was half-inclined to ask for the immigrant with the best lying or flattery scores to demonstrate their cheating ways.

It's OK to grab a name two or three rows down, if doing so allows you to meet someone's desires. For example, Rawkking promoted Centurium three places when a baby was born near the end of his term because Daeren, EgillSkallagrimsson, and Corbeau all specified they wanted adult dwarfs. AJ_Impy is currently 343rd on the list. The only way he can get in a hundred fifty dwarves sooner is by being an Overseer.

I'd say let AJ_Impy skip the quee, but only him. He had the idea to abuse Tildeath's promise, it's funny, and moving one person up doesn't really harm anybody. By the way, TildeATH, this is how people should write Dwarf Fortress LPs. Even the part where you ask the thread to participate is brilliant. Also, if your father is Qword and I'm his boss, does it mean we get to be friends?

24th Obsidian 239 Today another kid posted a notice that all Ugath worshipers should be reported to him. Mom says their going to take us away for something dad did. It's probably because he worships Ugath... I don't want to leave and I don't want mom to be sad so I'm gonna beg this kid to let me and mom stay, in exchange I'll tell him everyone I know who worships Ugath. Rurik, my dad and ardent worshiper Scamtank, ardent worshiper Woytaz, worshiper Slick Slinky, faithful worshiper Babies, worshiper SilentW, ardent worshiper Chickenfrogdwarf, casual worshiper InwardChaos, worshiper Peas, ardent worshiper Apeynap, ardent worshiper Overthefalls, ardent worshiper Acallapani, dubious worshiper These are all I know, please let it be enough...

The Adventures of Anchors, Part I I travel fast to Bronzestabbed to warn them, warn them of the comin' tides. Tides dark with dark and disease. These blasted Ugath cultists have been at the root of every single cataclysm in The Rare Ship's history, and indeed, are the reason we have fallen so low. When I heard that Bronzestabbed had an Ugath worshipper as a leader, I almost could believe my ears, so I dug deep undercover into the slimy, rotting underbelly of the cult to uncover some of their agents. I cann't in good faith let Bronzestabbed fall victim to The Rot From Within. I must get this list to someone who can do something, but is at the same time innocent of the Ugathian corruption, innocent like a child. If only there were a child-overseer... Yeah right, that'll be the day. "Jessant" Weakbasement "Ajaxify" Fencefame "Vaga42Bond" Flareconstruct "Enzer" Claspamber "Kerrhyphen" Metalacts "Lunnrais" Tradedships "Tangents" Flamegalleys "FinalSin" Wheelhollow "Ohtsam" Cleanedpaints "Ark" Minedboat "Astus" Atticstockades "Geri Khan" Rocklure "Willie Tomg" Bulbwork "Log082" Galleyanguish "Improbable Lobster" Cyclonepaint "Nomikos" Earthenlulled, The Clearings of Danger And perhaps most notably of the bunch, former overseers and possible Cult leader masterminds, "Ohcrap" Mountainmist "Rawkking" Wheeledbalds I pray and hope that this list finds itself in the right hands and something is done about it.

I was not worried, at first. I am an ardent worshiper of Lorsith. But at one recent Ugath idol burning, I was horrified by what I discovered.  Oh, I was deluded into thinking my fellow immigrant was so generous as to give me a free Anti-Murk statue! I was tricked! Fooled! My only recourse is to turn to the Great Toddler Chairoverseer TildeATH I hereby denounce Rurik Runearths as an Ugath worhipper.   And not just an Ugath worshipper, but an ARDENT one at that! Look at his Ugath worshipping ways! I am also aghst as to have discovered my spouse, SilentW Frostygems is also a cultist! I testify that she, along with Rurik, has fiendishly mislead me!   I only ask to be spared in the upcoming purge, and to be allowed to continue my simple life of weaving and occasional mechanics work. Please spare those who were fooled into this false worship, and now denounce them!
