Apologies for the length, I was just really enjoying the opportunity to write some slopping wet prose. I'll organize the journal entries by month and link them here.
State of the fortress in brief
Everything’s going pretty much fine in the fortress. I reorganized the military and have the squads patrolling between the two cavern entrances in shifts. At any point the bridges could be raised, but I left them open to encourage fun.
One thing that I didn’t mention in the journal is that there are some warm walls in the lower caverns, which should indicate there’s a source of magma for future efficient industry and mischief.
There were only two dwarf deaths that I can recall, as well as a birth or two. There was one moderate wave of migrants. I mostly let the upper fortress run itself, save for a little shuffling and building of guildhalls. The Countess either has all her needs met or only needs a little more in her bedroom. I had thought about reorganizing some of the offices, but I didn’t really get around to that.
A number of rose gold coins have been minted. A small amount of bismuth bronze was made, I used some to decorate The Rose Chamber, which I intend to serve as a reliquary and landmark. It would also serve as a very fine temple complex for the local Stigilite sect, but it didn’t seem quite right for the roleplay and I didn’t want dwarves to be pulled up and down the fortress to visit it too much.
So far the military has been able to tackle pretty much everything the caves have thrown up and probably won’t struggle against anything that isn’t made of very hard materials or producing toxic gas. The elves might get pissed if tree-cutting picks back up, probably not a huge concern unless someone wants to maintain peace for whatever reason.
Suggestions for future players are to keep digging down, gain access to magma, and set up new industries like glass (if sand can be procured) or dyeworks.

hello everyone and welcome to the virtual tour! i'd just like to show everyone what we've been doing on the server and what's to come
let's start off with the developing town of Serygrad/Chapograd/Whatever the fuck they are going to call it! this community is being built literally from the ground up by none other than master architect and engineer @[email protected] @LittleSery
say hi Sery!
it currently has half a train station, a full library, a functioning depot and two gay parrots! i cannot wait to see how this place turns out
this is the first of our trains. this one connects Serygrad to the town of Shadehaven. let's take a ride. ALL ABOARD!
enjoy the first-class amenities in our one-car train and relax as the centrally planned rail system efficiently takes us to our destination
along the line, we have a cute little picture to mark the city limits. hi Lenin!
welcome to Shadehaven Station!
enjoy the gothic ambience of our first-ever train station
right outside the station, the cherry trees accentuate the gothic vibes of the city. it's truly beautiful at night if you get past the gangs of roving phantoms trying to murder you
this is Shadehaven! it was originally built from the bones of a village into the sprawling behemoth it currently is (#5 if you want to be exact),
entirely because of the efforts of the dedicated community. everyone on here is a legend and i appreciate them immensely
the users on this server are so talented, bringing technological advancements that blend the virtual and real world. hi @[email protected]!
it's seriously so impressive. is there any limit to what we can't d- oh. fuck off.
anyway. this is our town square! i love coming back to town because it's such a relaxing atmosphere
can you believe this started out with like 3 villagers and a witch?
the natural build gave us a leg up and the infrastructure they left us has been built upon and improved immensely
i love this place.
we even have a castle! obviously the crown jewel of our town, it is a majestic beacon of progress
oh. @[email protected] please explain this.
inside you can hear the groans of a villager and some kind of animal. this fucking sucks.
why are you here, you dweeb? just leave. fuck off
maybe it's not all bad. you know what they say, behind every closed door is
a stinky mule.
and that concludes our tour! time to rest outside my cabin. i'm just gonna sit here and ignore the fact that all of that bullshit is literally down the street from me

The portrayal of m1nx.
You expect the place to be chuddy nightmare like modern troll spaces tend to be. But these guys are more like the old-school lefty hackers. It's a side of the internet not often portrayed in modern media, especially when 40 year old Connie finds them out and posts on their forum, they don't harrass her, they're more impressed than anything. (It's also worth noting a lot of the first programmers and hackers were woman as it was considered woman's work.)
Particularly re3koning_inc, who while seemingly abrasive, they're only really snide towards Dylan Merchant and Merchantsoft in general, and when you consider what happens in the game you can see the rudeness is completely justified. re3koning_inc also sends people free copies of Merchantsofts Hypnocure Pro after Merchantsoft took away functionality of certain pages and made it so you could only see them with their pricey pro version of the antivirus. re3koning_inc is also the one that finds proof that Hypnospace is dangerous before anyone else, and tries to warn everyone (and was sadly ignored). They're a type of character I have seen many times during my many years on the internet, but one I almost never see portrayed in media.
What a great fucking story this game has.

I was too scared to click this and see what it is. Please tell me. I gotta know. Do I want to know?

Dumb story time from web fishing:
I join a server room titled as a women's zone
Convo is lighthearted talk about furries and how cringe is good and fun.
A man joins the conversation.
Convo turns to older gacha games.
Guy casually mentions he has spent 24k on gacha games.
He immediately gets dunked on.
I say he sounds like a spoiled cybertruck owner.
Dude gets mad not at the cybertruck comment, but at being called spoiled.
Says I don't know any better because he calls his work a career while I call mine a job.
He openly admits without anyone nudging him on that he's a 26 year old veteran that got free college and now gets paid 300k a year to program... if he's to be believed.
We start calling him a war criminal.
Guy thinks he can own me by buying games for the chat. I tell him I don't need his blood money.
Some gal gets like a $60 game for free and he tells me how owned and mad I am.
I tell him I would feel sorry for him being this lonely if he wasn't a war criminal.
Guy starts misgendering everyone that called him a war criminal.
He immediately gets kicked and everyone is relieved.
I get to stay and naturally the convo becomes a lot more relaxed and gay.

I love how a few minutes in it just turns into a deep dive into the shovelware company (RAN BY THE GUY WHO FOUNDED BUNGIE?!) that made this
4.5 MILLION IN SEED FUNDING FOR FORTNITE MAPS 
back in my day people just made stuff like this for free and uploaded it to FPSBanana 
and now you're getting VENTURE CAPITAL FUNDING for this shit, like genuinely this is so fucking bleak I couldn't possibly have predicted where this video would go
also between this and whatever's going on with Destiny I'm starting to think that maybe these Bungie folks weren't all that good

It's me, your resident New Vegas mod enjoyer. I've been meaning to make effort-posts analyzing some mods for New Vegas, do y'all have any suggestions?
Edit: may do Morrowind as well...
