Editing User:GarrieIrons

Hey ho, it's me, the same guy as at Wikipedia with the self same imaginative name which is my real one...

it's also my mailbox name at hotmail.com.
Or [http://twitter.com/garrieirons I'm on twitter].

I have come here via Vanilla Angband, a real roguelike game.

I ran a [[/log|log]] of my early gaming experience and thoughts. I did manage to update it each session or so but have stopped now. Once I can get a settlement over 100 dwarves, producing metal items, and running screw pumps from water or wind power sources I will have another go. 


==Updates==
* 27 Feb 2020 Hey, if I say I'm coming back, you don't have to remind me every decade. I'm back.

*2 April 2010: After not being able to connect to the forum yesterday, I worked out it was because there was an April Fool release. OMFG How could I miss it?
*31 August 2008: I made my first set of [[plate mail]]. It was [[bronze]] of course but hey metal armor is metal armor!
*3 September 2008: Started a new fortress, "Teskomolin", which has the following features:
**Volcano (picked location for this feature)
**Cave system
**Kobold village with widespread loot
**Cavern
**Brook
**[[Iron man|Iron men]] - yes, several
::Actually beginning play revealed that there are extensive seams of gold, silver, aluminium, and a wide variety of gems. The kobolds are safely on the other side of a chasm (cliffs on both sides with the brook through the middle). This looks like a keeper!
*19 September: Teskomolin is still active. Made my first warhammer, spear, battleaxe, mace due to an abundance of [[silver]]. Hopefully my next wave of immigrants may have some professional soldiers!
* Playing onulbudam, have become a barony with 10 artifacts including usable furniture and a weapon. Legendary craftsmen include masons, weaponsmith, metalsmith, and stone carvers. Created wealth on becoming a barony is 1168404.
* 2012: I'm back but will be editing here with my usual online handle. I have upgraded, there are some interesting changes, and I have forgotten some things such as how to build a perpetual pump stack. But with the ease with which you can find a cavern now... does it matter?
===Unusual artifacts===
# [[:Image:Bebmal kirar.png|Bebmal Kirar]] is a door made of [[gazelle]] [[bone]] made by my [[trapper]] in a [[Craftsdwarf's workshop|craftsdwarf's]] [[workshop]].
# [[:Image:Avedbungek Lushutecem.PNG|Avedbungek Lushutecem]] is a [[millstone]] made of [[granite]] by my [[mason]]. It features an image showing my [[dwarf|dwarves]] striking down an [[iron man]]. History of the fortress "Teskomolin" recorded for all time! or until abandonment at any rate...

Garrie likes computer games, working outdoors, and [[dog]]s for their playfulness. When possible, he prefers to consume [[cow|beef]] and [[alcohol|bourbon]]. He absolutely dispises bogans. [[Dwarf Fortress Wiki:Community Portal|He dislikes disorder]].<br><br>Garrie prefers working outdoor and rarely complains about [[rain|inclement weather]]. He often does the first activity that comes to hand but continues with it for waaaay tooo long. He enjoys alcohol but does not rely on it to get through the working day. He is not the [[guard|hardened individual]] that he used to be.</font></div>
