I don't think the Sheriff/Captain of the Guard will spar at all normally, though you could try drafting him and leaving him off duty.

Sometimes I do think it would be handy to be able to have time continue on as I place cabinets and chests into like 90+ bedrooms.

To those who can't get to it, try flushing your DNS?

But without [babysnatcher] they'll only attack if you're really at war with them.  With the tag they're willing to attack you regardless.

Unless you get lucky and fire the dwarven king/queen lounging about on the surface, they're nearly impossible to find.  You're definitely better off talking to human leaders.

The tables in the furthest corner from any entrance into my dining room seem to have the most activity for me...
Though on second thought I think these tables might be the ones directly under the food stockpile, so dwarven measurements might actually put them closest to the food.  I'll have to observer them a little more closely.

Toady still lives; I just got my 2nd ASCII artwork (it took a long time, but totally worth it.).  Time to donate again!  I have a burning need to discover the outcome of Doran vs. the crop-eating cave voles.

I wonder if the ASCII artworks are anything like powergoals.  Does the presence of crop-destroying pests in my story imply that there's the eventual intention of including crop-destroying pests in the game, and the loss of a crop will give your farmers a heavy unhappy thought?

I, for one, don't actively hate the elves the way most seem to.  I always enjoy buying their entire caravan with a single item.

I do wish they'd bring some cool animals, though.

I, too, was wondering what Ogame was.  Now I know, and yadda yadda yadda.  Looks interesting, if I didn't have a week full of tests and projects coming up I'd have to give it a try.

Your fortress has attracted a plethora of migrants this season!

I just finished The Night Gardener by George Pelecanos.  Well-written book, though it was vastly different than what I had expected. 

I think the wiki link should do an okay job of directing people here.  That's how I found this place.

On the plus side, assuming Toady is able to keep working as normal, once he gets a new server we should get a totally awesome dev_now update.
