Here is the save file for the fortress HorseMurdered.
Excerpts from the Journal of 'Iankill' Ceilingappeared, Lord of the Under Keep.
1st of Granite
I arrived here at Horsemurdered where I will oversee the operations here for around a year.
I first noticed it is quite a nice place filled with food, booze, and plenty of other things a dwarf enjoys.
Although if found its natural defenses lacking, while it has a substantial army there are very few traps making it easy for invaders to breach.
My first order of business is to add cage, and stonefall traps along with make the entrance to our fortress harder to enter by making the path lined with traps and a pit underneath so even if our enemies can avoid the traps they will most assuredly fall into the pit below.
6th of Granite
I've not even been here for a week and there has been a birth under my rule already it is a joyous occasion.

Ok, so I've started playing and this is by far the best fort I've ever seen O.o. We got some real pros around these parts.
As my first order of business I had some dwarves get ready to kill a troll we had caught in one of our cage traps when all of a sudden the trade liaison tells me that we he can establish us as an official land of their realm. Never seen this before wtf do I do?
Nominate a dwarf for some crazy position? say no?
I've got no clue. On the other hand, the troll is proving to be more of a pansy than a fighter, it just keeps running around. Gotta make sure I do that in closed rooms from now on. Yay for live military training.

This is a really great read. One of these days I'll download the lazy newb pack and figure out how this game works.

Look closer, he is already linking to each.

Say yes, we become a barony and we get a bunch of cool noble stuff!
Remember, you're playing roughly a year and a fourth, since the previous player quit early, so you get an extra long turn.
I say once we establish ourselves as a barony we start seizing all the trade goods that come in. Viva la revolution!

I agree we have enough supplies to last at least a year and the farms and stills that are underground will provide enough to last out any lengthy sieges if we get sealed in our fortress. The only worry is the lack of coal and iron, but I think we can find that deeper underground.

so it's decided, I ctrl alt deleted my first little look around since I nearly got a dwarf killed by accident, and accidently hit a key that said no on that window, so I'm starting from the original save tomorrow and my mission is to start up the metal industry.
Also, since it's my turn I'm gonna name the dude I appoint me. Seems like a cool thing to do.
That or I'ma pick an unnamed kickass military dwarf.

Be sure to assign the dwarf who loves adamantite and mermaid bones to be our baron. Nothing creates more dramaFUN than unfulfilled mandates.

That would be awesome. Assuming we have enough players on NA
Also, once we go through all the players that want to play I think we should go through the list a 2nd time, but if any new players want to sign up the get put in next or something like that.
For example
player A (played once)
Player B (played once)
New Player
Player C (played once)
Just an idea I had so that horsemurdered will live on for eternity!

Hmm, but after that we should start a new fortress on a terrifying tundra.

This is looking pretty rad. Bring on the miasma.

If we had enough people we could potentially do both.

We are waiting for n3rv. Unfortunately the new rules don't start applying until after he has his turn, soo...
If he hasn't posted by tomorrow I'll open the save up to anyone else who wants to play.

He told me via PM he would be posting by tonight or tomorrow morning. I'm sure he'll post, but if he doesn't, yes you will go next fontong. The new rules will apply to you, you should read up on them. They're in the OP.
