I like to imagine the changeout of my axe will be one of those things where I'm saying, "YES, TAKE IT" and doing the clingy I'm-not-letting-go-why-won't-you-take-it thing. Also, in order to make dorfme drop the old axe, you have to forbid it long enough for the axe to be dropped, I believe.

I told Zapdos that 800-wide is preferred, but 1024-wide is acceptable as a max. This is in line with image rules for the forums in general. Is it really a big problem to have an image that wide? I realize some people browse the forums on little tablets or smart phones or whatever, but that shouldn't be the norm, I'd think? And yeah, looks like Idles had a shield but no weapon, and managed to kill a troll anyway which is pretty impressive really.

 25th Limestone, 23 My daughter Male Man is the mightiest warrior of the fortress! While other dwarfs praised for bravery die at the wooden spearpoints of skulking serpents, my dearest daughter, laying naked in my arms, suckling from my bared breast, revels in the proudest tradition of dwarvenkind: martial combat. She is my screaming warhammer with which I fought the cave troll! We struck together around the curve of my meager shield, defeating the beast. Her great strength and fortitude far surpass my own, and I would be doomed without her. She does not even whimper, despite her many injuries, and only stares angrily and kicks at prodding doctors who would surely temper her fury. They shall not have her. She is sure to forge a new tradition of women warriors, who shall save this fortress while the men cower and shake. This change will come hard for the others I'm sure, but if I can bear it so can they. I hope that when she enters womanhood, she will remember me as the steadfast warrior who taught her in combat, not as her poor ugly mother.

If it is too large for people I can timg the wider images for you. Qwo posted:Did Idles not have a weapon? Well shoot it doesnt look like they do. And a fungiwood shield too... I need to add another forge or two to make more weapons, obviously. Bronze armor is queued up but it will take some time to make.

 4th Limestone, 238 So here I am, waiting to fillet a fish when I get approached by someone dressed in armor and carrying a crossbow. I've met pretty much everyone in the fortress by this point, and I think I remember this guy being called Internet Kraken? He informed me that the new overseer (why is there a new one? What happened to the insane old one? She seemed nice enough if a bit loud) had decided that I would make a perfect recruit for his squad, the One-Way Outs. That sounded a bit ominous to me, and I asked if he was crazy. When I was assured that the overseer was correct, I didn't grumble at all! Sure, the militia is practically a death sentence, but Mr. Kraken assured me that his squad was for crossbow users only. That doesn't sound so bad! Maybe I can get a crossbow made of native gold, or one that's light blue in color. I hope so! Added later I talked with DrMelon at dinner about the news and he told me that he also had something to share! It turns out that we're both serving in the same squad! Isn't that great? I'm gonna tell Nekomata tonight. I hope she's as excited as I am! It seems that the more I think on being in the fortress guard, the more I like the idea. 25th Limestone, 238 The dinner table tonight was swarming with gossip. Remember a week ago when Zaodai was sobbing about the death of his family? Well it seems that he thought that Asehujiko was to blame! Killed him in his sleep, he did. I'm glad that Zaodai was taken into custody. I feel a lot safer with a known murderer behind bars. I tell you, if I'd been the one to find him... the entry trails off here.

Zapdos strikes me as the sort of dwarf who assumes that if you just keep your cool and do things Properly and According to Convention then everything will sort itself out. Such variety with voices we have with this LP, it's great.

How the gently caress did I get convicted of a murder where nobody saw it happen, and nobody even knew it occurred for a week after the fact? This is the greatest injustice in all of recorded dwarven history! Also, pretty sure this is the end of our family line. I can't recall many people survive a prison sentence without either dying of thirst or being slowly taken apart by random hammerings for jobs you can't do because you're chained to a wall. Sorry family.

I manually convicted you as I had established before that it was known you beat him up. I honestly don't know how Asehujiko's body went unnoticed for so long. There were at least ten dwarves in view of the room at the time of the murder. But don't worry! Your sentence is only more than half a year, you have no crafting skills and the jail is right in the main entrance!

I agree with whomever said it earlier; we're getting quite a collection of different voices for Overseers already, and it's keeping the LP fresh and exciting. Looking forward to Zapdos improving some of the fort's layout, too. I wince every time I see OhCrap's dormitories.

Treuan posted:THE Well, to be fair, if it was the 1% it wouldn't be such a big deal that nobles do nothing, and you could probably even tolerate their mandates, since even a full-force 200-dwarf fortress would have 2 nobles. It's the fact they're often closer to 25% or higher that's a problem... 'We are the 75%' doesn't sound as impressive, though.
