I think you should reroute the river to a massive fuckoff hole that leads to the magma sea. Just a giant waterfall going into the fiery sea, steam everywhere. A dwarven Jacuzzi.

Actually you wouldn't even have to go THAT far. We have an underground ocean right over our magma sea. Hollow out a portion of the layers betwixt them and engineer a large enough object to fall on the weak spot. One of the two would end up drained, maybe. But it would certainly kill SOMEBODY'S computer.

For disposing of refuse, I'll create a neat underground magma based method that is usually pretty safe. First, dig out a room near the magma sea/pipe/volcano. Dig out a room beneath it, and leave in a support column or three. In the upper room, channel down on the border of the room furthest from the magma. Put magma safe grates over the channels. Designate the floor-ninsula as a refuse pile. Add in a pump and a door so that magma can be pumped into the room with the door locked. Magma destroys the refuse, then drains/evaporates safely. As long as you lock the door the magma can't hurt anybody! I've also done this with just a platform over the magma sea, but then magma crabs or imps are an issue. Alternatively, make the refuse room your obsidian casting room. Fill room with refuse, flood with magma, then cool. Mine out and repeat.

Creatures don't react to heat differences until they catch fire and there's no way to tell how hot or cold something is until it turns into ice or vapor.

So not to be an rear end but it has been roughly 3/4 of a month since your turn started and we're not even halfway through the year. Are you planing on only doing a a halfyear?

I have sent Jazzimus an email requesting that he wrap up his turn now, and send me the save. I do not like being the bad guy and I have no hard feelings: it's just clear that he doesn't have sufficient time and/or interest to finish a full year in a timely manner. Jazzimus is still a good guy and you all need to be nice to him even though this has happened. I mean it. Mommy and daddy are fighting but it's not your fault. Yeller's got rabies, Travis, and he's not getting better. This is sad but you know what has to be done. I know now why you cry, but it's something I can never do. Lower him into the steel.

A Bedtime Story For Medtob A long time ago in a lava-filled death pit far from here, not the lava-filled death pit we're in now at all, no sir, there were four brave dwarves called Crimson Giant Elephant Thing, Opposite of Medicine, False Name Adopted For Suspicious Purposes, and I Want All My Money Back Dammit, which I would agree are terrible names if it weren't for the ones we've been living with lately. They lived and worked and got drunk as dwarves do. Except Opposite of Medicine; she was too young to do anything on that list but get drunk. One day Crimson Giant Elephant thing walked past the lava river and the magma surged up to loom over her. It said, "Answer my four questions and I'll give you adamantine trousers!" I don't honestly know whether Crimson Giant Elephant Thing wanted adamantine trousers, but I think they would be stylish. She agreed, or anyway didn't run away fast enough. "First question: what is a Water Necromancer supposed to be?" She couldn't answer that because no one can answer that. So the magma melted her feet off. Next the small child Opposite of Medicine wandered by the magma pipe and the talking magma appeared in the shape of a fire imp. "Answer my three questions and I'll give you a cat bone toy boat!" And Opposite of Medicine said, "I'm not TildeAth, I don't want one of those!" And the magma said, "Fine, you can have a doll made of giant toad bones instead." And Opposite of Medicine agreed. "Second question: what will make Internet Kraken happy?" Nobody could possibly answer that one either. So the magma-as-imp immolated Opposite of Medicine with fireballs. Then False Name Adopted For Suspicious Purposes thought the best revenge for two dead dwarves was to dump a dead stinking ogre in the magma. I admire his creative thinking. The magma did not admire it. But it still said when it rose up, "Answer my two questions and I'll give you a bracelet with so much malachite inlay and so many malachite spikes and so many hanging rings of malachite that even Mr. Vile won't be able to lift it." And False Name Adopted For Suspicious Purposes wondered what the point of such an item was. "Third question: why do silly turkeys insist on rolling around in the gore of our dead?" Do I need to tell you he couldn't answer? No I don't because there is no good answer to that question, Medtob. The magma melted False Name Adopted For Suspicious Purposes's body and to add insult to injury, the slag smelled like dead stinking ogre. Finally I Want All My Money Back Dammit was down in the trash chute for reasons whereof dwarf reason knows nothing and the magma appeared as an imp again. "Last question: what sound will you make when I set your head on fire?" And I Want All My Money Back Dammit could answer that one! The answer was 'kaboom!' The end. Sweet dreams!

 7th Malachite 243 There has been no sign of the fire imps for a while, so I order dwarves to begin dumping bodies in the garbage chute once again. I pray this does not turn out to be a mistake. Meanwhile, work continues on the new museum. Today, the young dwarf Viper began to help out with the project, after celebrating her birthday with family and friends.  17th Malachite 243 The month continues to be quiet. A cloud of murk is seen in the distance this morning far to the northeast, but it dissipates quickly. That's a shame, I would have liked to have seen what would have happened if it had drifted over to the caged goblins.  25th Malachite 243 I sit alone in the great dining hall, enjoying a meal of imported preserved seafood. I'm glad we can import some decent food here, because yak intestines just don't appeal to me all that much. It's a good thing most of the other dwarves don't seem to mind it. At the next table over, Benagain and Wales Grey hold a birthday party for their son Savage Gentleman.  As I finish my meal and stand up, I hear Leperfish call to me. "Jazzimus! Eight new migrants have arrived. They'll all need to be registered." I sigh. "Okay, I'll be right there," I say. To be honest, I'd rather be fishing. 28th Malachite 243 The migrants have been registered. This time, none of them had relatives living here already. Baragon arrived with his wife Mr. Showtime.     Krysmdragon the pump operator arrived alone.   ZZT the Fifth brought a pet bird with him.   Archaeology Hat the glassmaker arrived alone.   Dizz the siege operator also arrived alone.   And finally, Lippo arrived with his wife T-Man.     It's a good thing we had already carved out all the new bedrooms, because we're going to need them. I wonder how many more dwarves will end up moving to this overcrowded place.

I actually think Jazzimus' prose is very engaging and I appreciate the way he tends to keep the pacing, even if the updates aren't pushed frequently. I guess threads like this tend to die a pretty quick death when they aren't updated as often as most would prefer, though. It also doesn't help that nothing is really happening.

We will have a vote. It works like this: if you put your name in for Overseer, you are voting against anyone else being overseer. If you don't put your name in for Overseer, you are voting for one of the people who put in their name to be Overseer, to be chosen randomly from among those names. A unanimous decision for Bad Munki would surely elect him! Anything else and it's up to chance, I'm afraid. In other news, while this is LP and not TG, I thought a few of you might be interested in participating in the Trad Games secret santa this year. I've run it the last couple of years. It's lots of fun. click here for details. Depending on whether or not I'm online a lot tonight, the call for overseers will go out tonight or tomorrow or something. Be sure to furiously F5 this thread until then!

Malachite 243 Today I made a new friend. He is called Uncle Munky. His eyes are blue. He can fly, and look invisible, and make funny face and he let me put my hand through him. He told me a really cool story about a fire birdie. He is the bestest friend ever. I asked Daddy and Mummy to make him the boss, but they said no. That made me sad. He looks like this.  ----- [yeah, no idea what to write as a child. But Ghost Munki seemed like a good idea at the time.]
