You sure you don't want a go at the fort before I go? I'm pretty sure Salty's sucked up all the bad luck for the next year or two, and thanks to him and RD running things sensibly during their turns, it's pretty hard to screw anything up too badly.
I'd love to, thing is though, I actually don't really know how FM works. I got the general idea, but when I actually try it it's just me sitting there not knowing what to do. Cue death by wild animals, or eventual starving to death as I try to find out how jobs and stockpiles work. And that's embark. Wouldn't have the first idea of what to do with an actual large fort with lotsa citizens.
Plus, I've got school and marching band all week. My schedule's fuckin' insane right now.
