Part One: Lets Meet the Squad



Meet one of the hundred mods of Imp Zone, In Training. She is a very old, very jealous dwarf. She also has AIDS according to the text, so I'm not sure how long she will be with us. She also doesn't care about truth, and wants to master a skill, most likely Fighting Games.
She Needs Alcohol to get through a work day... and she has a poor memory and gets angry easily.



Meet the fortresses world famous Rapist, Net Cafe Scandal . This guy is in every town, in every city. You probably know somebody just like him. As a serial rapist he is part of the Umbral Oil, a rapist collective.
He is tall of course, smart, displays classic sociopath traits with a little CEO psychopath trends for a nice mix. He is also 87 loving years old, so he has been raping for awhile. He loves bogeymen for their terror-inspiring antics.
He dreams of raising a family ... most likely to rape them.



Skylark is very chill. She is the "Stacey" of the squad. Basically a true 10/10 (above 9.5 doesn't really exist but she is as close as you can get) She is pretty, and tall, and has long hair that is neatly combed. GBS hates her. She also respects commerce.



Average Bear is the Pipe Finder, if you were ever asking "Now where could my pipe be?" She probably knows the answer or could find out quickly. She has a huge long nose (:siren:)(:zion:). SHE LOVES GOLLLLLLLLLLLLLD (LOL austin powers 3 anyone?)



The resident WWF fan, Wormskull loves muscles and things on top of a pole or forklift. She respects the Russo WCW era as well as the attitude era. She finds artwork boring af.



The gently caress up of the Squad, every squad needs one though. Larry is a loving manlet cuck, he is 3 inches tall, he worked at 7/11 before being sent out on this expedition. He is literally a loving piece of poo poo and EVERYONE hates his loving guts and wouldn't feel bad if he was dead LOL. He smells like loving garbage and gets bossed around by everyone. He has a foul temper, he is also actually mentally retarded. He has a narrow head and he is ugly as sin. Honestly gently caress this guy.



Last but not least... Lumpy The Cook. This gal just wants to combine GBS and D&D into one forum, called Current Events most likely. She shaves her head (...?) and she can imagine a world where Chapter 3: Peace came out.

Part 4: I'm loving high and everything is taking a long time to do



The guide after spending 1 hour reading the first few paragraphs because I had to read it 3 or 4 times to even understand a basic amount of the start of this game told me to dig a channel down into the z-axis (this is a great way to start a game, in my opinion) and start my fortress below ground. I thought dwarves lived in mountain sides, not under the loving earth, but whatever.



The guide also told me to assign labors, using a total of 45 sub menus to get into the Labor menu. I have no idea what this does but I hope it helps me in some, non obtuse, way.



OK. Cool. I understand this. hiting d twice lets be dig, oh and to show me underground one z-level I only have to hit shift and . then >M >T/1/5 and then CTRL+Z to see one level below me. Simple.

Part 5: The edibles I ate are kicking in, they were called "Firecrackers",




Layout of the dig site on the first floor underground.



The Miners get to work digging out my floor and Average Bear, The Pipe Finder, has become a miner!



Apparently I need a big stockpile on my first floor, so people can just waltz right into my dug out loving hole with a channeled sloped entrance and steal everything I have so here it is!



And the >>>> are some stairs I'm building down to the second level, well technically negative 2 or z-2 or whatever. I guess this floor isn't good enough. uhhh also I hit K to look if I dug into soil, so I hope I can grow plants on sand.... or else, well... I need soil. Is sand a soil? I looked online and couldn't figure it out because yes, some plants do grow in sand, cactus much? Didn't think so. Anyway can someplease please answer this so I can continue this LP? Thank you.

you can grow crops in soil above ground but underground you need mud for something to grow. you can either dig out the wall of a pond and flood a room, or order your dwarves to start a bucket brigade if you have some spare buckets and a water source. for the bucket brigade youll need to set up a water zone and a pit/pond zone with i. for the water zone youll need to mark the tiles adjacent to the water source and for your pond you can just mark a single tile at where you want your farm plot to be

Part 6: Can I grow crops on sand Part One



The Prophecy...



so I created a stockpile inside and the dwarfs are talking their sweet rear end loving time hauling their poo poo inside.



I created a giant trash pile outside my den, I hope the smell doesn't seep in, because having Larry down in the den is loving awful enough as it is. You know what, let the trash smell in, it might actually help LOL. Larry loving stinks like loving poo poo!



I accidentally hit Z, here is that screen, it looks insane to me at the moment.



My Meeting Room so the dwarves get the gently caress down here and stop standing around outside like fucktarded assjackets!

Part 7 Can I grow crops on sand Part Two: Stoned Playing Dwarf Fortress and Listening to Speaking in Tongues (1983 - Talking Heads).



I created a stock pile right outside my base so I could get my wood wet or something? I'm not quite sure about this myself... I also created a water source zone, hoping to catch fish and maybe be stream drinkers like the people in Columbia, PA, who are mentally braindead and all have next-level STDs.



Fucktard Larry is in charge of farming, probably one of the most menial tasks since the dawn of man. Lets hope he doesn't gently caress this up. Also it's annoying you have to set up EVERY season on every crop, on every farm. God thats tedious. I also built a still so I could make alcohol because we have some alcoholics in our Squad.



Digging out Z-2 to make some workshops so I can get into the meat and potatoes of this game, Building Things.



Farms are done and each season is accounted for. Larry you BETTER not gently caress up our crops or I will personally inject you with AIDS.



This is very strange. I wonder if something went wrong... is the legendary rapist getting too old?
