Dwarf Fortress - Chaosfortunes: Year 4 (anyone can still join)
RSO:
Oh. Right.
Okay. Of the levers by the dormitory, only the one north of the stairs does anything - it controls the atom smasher. The two(?) other levers are there for dwarf-moving. Assign a workshop profile so only a particular dwarf can pull the lever and then assign a Pull-Repeat command to move a dwarf to the lever - that's how I executed the two vampires. You can see which lever is hooked up by examining it under "t" for building inventory - the lever with two mechanisms is hooked up to something, while a lever with only one mechanism is hooked up to nothing. The rest of it was an elaborate plain to bait the zombies into the atom smasher. It's probably best not to mess with it too much.
Adamntine sutures are something I'd love to have been able to avoid, but as soon as I created the hospital, dwarves grabbed all sorts of thread for it - adamantite included. It's a known bug that isn't fixed yet. Best solution would be to weave all adamantite thread into cloth or wafers ASAP.
There's a memorial hall to the left of the dining hall, but it doesn't yet have memorials for all the dwarves that died trying to sleep in the old dormitory. Memorializing the ghost (craftsdwarf's workshop: alt+s to engrave a slab) will put it to rest..
The well down there is because dwarves give their injured comrades water, and alcohol won't do, so in order to have a successful hospital, we need a source of water. I would advise walling off everything near the well, though. It's not currently secure against aquatic attack.
There was a forgotten beast made out of fire that attacked the cave fishman civilization down below. This actually worked out to our benefit because it destroyed a lot of the zombies that were down there, before being vanquished by the fish. I considered working this into the story somehow, but I can't think of any way that my dwarves would know about it.
Matt_S:
I'm starting this now. Reports won't be in-character because I can't think of any creative ideas.
Report:
Spoiler: Granite (click to show/hide)2nd Granite: Ghost put to rest; there was already a slab that just hadn't been placed.
5th of Granite: SHIT! Id Zonsanreb, a child, was killed by something. Bunch of repeated job cancelling spam obscured it; must fix.
Zuglar Mosusamkol's corpse seems responsible.
6th of Granite: Our resident vampire slayer had a child :3
Saw a ghost on the unit list. Dead drafted. It's in the old dorms. Their name isn't in the list of dwarves that can be memorialized...?
Found Budamigath's corpse. Have no idea who or what Budamigath is. Ah, turns out Budamigath is Zuglar. After learning that the newest combat reports are on top(...): "The Zuglar Mosusamkol's corpse attacks The Dwarven Baby but She rolls away." lolwat
I have smashed the atoms of the corpses. But where did it come from? Do we have yet another vampire?
7th of Granite: Starved goat. Atom smashed. Uhh, we also have a draftee who can't stand. I'm gonna put him on civilian duty...
10th of Granite: So I think that Zuglar zombie was the child of one of the military dwarves. He's unhappy about losing a child, and one of them is named Zuglar. I went ahead and made a memorial slab to the kid in case it'll help his unhappiness.
13th of Granite: A kid just got a fey mood. Ugh, he needs logs, rock, rough gems, tanned hides, rock blocks, and plant cloth. UGH! All the stuff he needs is available according to the stocks screen. Why won't he go and get it?
17th of Granite: I guess the gems are in the blocked-off portion of the fortress. Time to mine some shit... Also, I learned tetrahedrite is not a gem.
25th of Granite: Endok Tathushrir finished making... a fungiwood piccoli....Spoiler: Slate (click to show/hide)3rd of Slate: What... Kulet just beat up a weapon smith... I think it might have something to do with that mandate for 2 helmets that never got fulfilled. Yep, just checked the justice screen. Doesn't bother him, though.
9th of Slate: Nearly naked kid throwing a tantrum in the dining room.... I'll call it a night.
11th of Slate: So he's calmed down without doing anything, but he's standing in place apparently looking to start a fist fight.
13th of Slate: Another helmet mandate.
14th of Slate: Migrant wave! Ooh, and one of them is our vampire slayer's older sister. Another is her nephew it seems. So many... I lost count, but we have a population of 151 now.
20th of Slate: Oh... oh crap, what if one of them is a vampire?
And shit, that kid (2 yrs old) pummeled someone until they started vomiting.
24th of Slate: Interesting. One woman is now carrying two babies around.
27th of Slate: Same child throwing a tantrum again. While sleeping.
28th of Slate: Nil Orsharstinthad: I'm a Milker.Spoiler: Felsite (click to show/hide)1st of Felsite: Nil Orsharstinthad: No wait, I'm an axedwarf!
2nd of Felsite: Sleep birth...
3rd of Felsite: Another brat throwing a tantrum. They can't even do that right, the punks...
NOTE: I'm upgrading to 0.34.07
RSO:
It might be a good idea to make some ropes and set up a prison. I left the plump helmet field (southernmost farm) fallow for two seasons out of the year since we had an oversupply - all of the dwarves running in and out of the atomsmasher to throw away rotten plump helmets was making me nervous. You could set it to make pigtails for the summer if we need cloth, but I think I imported a lot from the elves. Quarry Bush Roast stacks having a value of 6000 is a little ridiculous.
Matt_S:
The sleeping quarters have been getting a bit crowded. I'm thinking maybe I should add a second floor?
Elven Caravan! What do we need, what should I sell, and why is the depot still full of stuff from before?

RSO:
A second floor of the sleeping quarters would be good, but make sure that the meeting Activity Zone ("i") spans both floors. People who are awake in the dormitory keep the sleeping dwarves safe from vampires.
As for what to trade: Quarry Bush Roast. A stack of high quality QBR goes for between 4000 and 6000. You can clean out the caravan for just two or three stacks, without making a dent in our food stocks. Just be sure to inspect each stack and make sure that there isn't any meat in them, or the elves will be angry.
