"We could build a factory and make misery

We'll create the cure; we made the disease."

In the third year so far of my fortress with 115 population...with only 48 losses so far!

So, when starting the game I had a mayor who was an immediate suspicion, being 270 years old and having grey hair and pale skin. Soon enough, dwarves started being found drained of blood. This dwarf was a legendary weaponsmith, armorer and blacksmith. So, I let him feast a bit while farming him for masterpiece gear. In the end, after equipping my milita with full steel gear, I locked him away and convicted him with 4 murders, 5 witnesses testifying and another 14 unconfirmed murders alone. A small price to pay. However...

After locking him away (the mayor, electable official), I've bricked him in a small 1x1 dark square while in a cage completely isolated from the entire world.

I'm having a bit of a problem now where they keep electing this guy, despite being eternally sealed from society under 5 feet thick brick slate walls and not even talking to anyone or doing interviews. Normally, this wouldn't be a problem, but liasons and other alliances keep wanting to talk to him. How do I get my dwarves to stop electing the ghoul?

Anyways, here's a tour.

The Eternal Mayor:

Entrance:

1st Level:

2nd Level 1/2:

2nd Level 2/2:

3rd Level [under construction]:

The Boneyard:

Would destroying the wall immediately let the elected ghoul out of the cage? Not sure if anyone knows.

Helped me a bit actually. Never seen a use for the traffic zones until now unless I'm in the caverns.

Exploit is neat too if you wanna use it.

something something history repeats as a fart brap

"I wanna go where the buffaloes roam

Chop off ya head while I'm puffing on a bone"

"Farewell, mountains, you witnessed,

Who we were in this distant land,

Let them not judge biasedly,

They, the desk scholars."

"Packed into the tablets

Are the space maps

And the Navigator checks

The route for one last time.

Let us, guys,

Smoke before launching: We still have fourteen minutes

Left until the launch."

Nothing like having the local monopoly cut your electricity, charge your household with YOUNG children an extra 400 dollars because of random, variable "back-charges" and "late-fees" because we didn't pay at SIX O FUCKING CLOCK IN THE MORNING ON THE DAY IT'S DUE AND WE HAVEN'T EVEN GOT OUR FUCKING DIRECT DEPOSIT YET.

(we get paid on the same day and they randomly decided to shut our electricity off earlier than usual despite normal payments; payment date changes from 30-31st sometimes and same with our checks.)

Of course, we asked for an extension two days before, just for ONE FUCKING DAY. They agreed! Guess they fucking forgot! Or they don't give a fuck!

Fuck these god damn fucking ghouls. Faceless, skinless walking pieces of soulless flesh that suck the resources out of every man, woman and child. They are fucking worth absolutely FUCK-ALL to this god damn world.

OH AND I HAD TO WAIT 43 HOURS FOR MY FUCKING POWER TO BE TURNED BACK ON. FUCK THESE GHOULS. MY ENTIRE FUCKING FRIDGE SPOILED.
