Utterly Mad

Well since a lot of people say they "suck" or are possibly new, I'd say the embark should be in a hilly area with both deep metals and flux metals but no aquifer. Also there needs to be a running stream and the temperature should be warm so the water doesn't freeze.

Is it updated to the newest version of DF?

Anyways, I am really bad. I mean I can't even make cats breed.

Well, if we want to wait for the current releases to settle down (the bugfixing to finish) and then wait for mods to be updated, we could do that too.

*squinting* how do you... i mean I guess... if you're like... i don't even... they do it on their own though... wut...

OK, time to get started I think, since the lazy nub pack is in an experimental stage atm.

Or maybe not, gib some time to get the embark sorted. I hit an aquifer that was not announced on embark. The entire embark is covered by it and it is deep as hell.

this ^^^ is sound advice im gonna try to follow.

Modded stuff would be nice tho. Add a possibility to making gold/platinum weapons pls. I want my platinum warhammer goddammit.

Ill see what I can do.

Any idea of a name or should I allow fate to choose for us?

Since we are all noobs (including me, I have forgotten most everything from this game) I'd suggest that we use the LNP feature to DISABLE aquifers. Aquifers are generally a pain in the fucking ass to handle, I'd rather just undermine a pond and use that for water (or use a underground river, but that's beyond the point). Also, I can not play without a texture pack, DF ASCII is way too fucking messy.

I agree with all the points you make. I had completely forgotten that LNP lets you disable aquifers. AND it is fortunate that the LNP lets you effortlessly use any texture pack you want, and will even convert the raws of a save file, just in case you don't like the texture pack your peers are using.
In other dorf stuff, I havn't touched adventure mode in ages. I completely forgot about the market NPCs hocking their goods at you. My personal favorite; "YOUR VERY OWN CELERY! LIMITED SUPPLY!" Like it's some kind of rare thing that everyone wants. "Don't you want this celery? Don't you know? Celery is all the rage!" While filthy human hipsters run around the villages proclaiming loudly "I was into celery before it was cool!" and then that goblin threw me down the well.

Aaaand, one of the new things you can do in adventure mode is to write poems. The poetic styles (also musical styles) are randomly generated when the world is genned. I was looking through the styles I could choose to compose my first poem and noticed one called "the dead dusts." I looked over it's description and the style is basically the way one performs a standard three card tarot reading, except that this poetry style is mostly used to emphasize various aspects of death.

I didn't know you could see night creatures moving around the map until I encountered them moving around the map.
I asked a guard about the goblin that threw me down the well, and the guard said that such an occurrence was inevitable.
