Occasionally Briess receives an obscene amount of free advertising through Google that never gets used. (They expire in a month, etc.) Instead of throwing this credit away, why not use it to find newbies and introduce them to Dwarf Fortress? However, to do that, we need awesome tutorials, awesome evangelism pages, and an awesome front page so newbies don't get confused. | Occasionally Briess receives an obscene amount of free advertising through Google that never gets used.

Possibly also have a small area with screwpumps built to pump water back and forth between two small ponds or floodgate + lever to empty lake into river, and lever + 2-3 high pumpstack+water wheel to refill lake? | |
