    Hmm. It's quiet. Almost too quiet.

    Not if a quarantine is set up for the new migrants. Perhaps it'll blow over, perhaps not. Either way, I still think it's going to be a monster onslaught that'll do for Reveredtour.

    Anyone else here got BF3 in the UK the day before release?

    Well, no more to it than the topic, really. The release date for over here is Friday the 28th of October, but I'm holding here a copy of it today (Thursday). So, well, has this happened to anybody else? I pre-ordered the limited edition from Amazon.co.uk, so I'm wondering if that's the...

    I'd be wondering if we could see an update on the fortress itself? I mean, the structure of it and the demographics of the dorfs within.

    [imagine I found a video of Skeletor yelling "Curses!" to embed] In that case, you probably irrigate. I'm pretty awful at DF, truth be told. I still haven't worked out how to get the water buffalo corpses out of my dining rooms.

    Because I am stupid and didn't know to build my farms underground. Potash is required for above-ground farms, it would appear.

    Well, here's how my fortress was going. Downside: no means of getting drink Upside: only 7 Dorfs means I can last until the supply caravan Downside: my population more than doubles due to migrants Upside: I could use them for faster labour Downside: none of them work, but the food and...

    Do underground farms not require potash and the like? If so, then stupendous. If not, then my stupid Dorfs remain fixated on not building mah burners.

    Okay. I am not impressed. Does anyone know how I can get my Dorfs in my fortress to actually make themselves some booze? It seems to go like so; >cannot plant hops seeds: need potash >cannot make potash: need ash >cannot make wood burner: my Dorfs are all on strike Heh. My captcha is...

    I don't know why, but the idea of Root being incurably ill makes me genuinely sad. When Root only had one arm and was coated in blood, that was fine, but being incurably blind and rotting makes me sad. But then I remember, Dorf sounds funny, and all is well.

    Laptop Charging Issue

    Right. Hello, Escapist. Not posted here in a very long while, so if protocol on posting has drastically changed and I have committed a grave faux pas, let me know. So, my laptop (an Acer Aspire 5735 model) has given up the ghost. The charger itself appears to be fine; it still has the green...

    I would offer to try and be a custodian, but my experience with Dwarf Fortress is roughly comparable to James Murdoch's experience with ethical reporting practices. I second the idea of passing it to Root, and the elf-berating such an act would cause.

    This LP is like reading a car crash. In a good way. Dwarf me up. You need some cannon fodder.
