Got my second dose few days ago.
Was lucky. As I am a PWD, like the seniors I more or less got prioritized in line, and time I spent on vaccination area was barely an hour long including the wait period.
On the other hand, sibling wasn't as lucky. It was a different area that we're not familiar with, so I volunteered to accompany sibling and wait for them. To balance out the ease of me getting the vaccine, I ended up waiting close to six hours in the heat.

A few more goblin attacks. So far, less invaders than they were before.
Second and third militia is getting better, though a few times when executing the prisoners some of them got injured. No parts lopped off at least, and to be fair to the militia while the prisoners were stripped of all armor and weapons I released them 50 at a time against 12. Some of them were trolls and had big tusks that could do some damage.

Well, unsure how to insert my way into this convo right now...
Used my role, and it came out as a blank, as I've said. And I used my role on Zack Morris. On the other hand, no one was killed last night.

So much resources, to the point where I'm just giving away so much free stuff to caravans.
Food pretty much accumulates at this point. Considering that I'm breeding a number of creatures and those give birth to several children, meat is often on the menu. You got the meat, various organs, fat which can be made into tallow. Tallow can be used for cooking, but it's also used to make soap which is needed for hospitals and avoiding infections. Citizens sometimes bathe, and using soap makes them happy.
As they are, food is low value, but with a kitchen and a cook, food items can be combined together which increases their value. Lots of value with the highest levels of cooking skill. Even with three cooks, meat production is going faster than the dwarves could cook.
There's also leather. Butchered animals produce one piece of skin which is made into leather. Not a whole lot as even giant creatures would produce only one skin which turns into one leather, so for most part I just use the leather into making human-sized clothing, while dwarves and elves get to wear cloth made from plant fibers.
Speaking of plants, all farming is pretty much shut down. Some plants and fruits can be eaten as is, or brewed, or used to make plant fiber cloth. Also papermaking. So much plants that I don't need to farm more for a good long while. Don't need to brew either... essentially the farmers are doing something else while the farm fields just sit their without any plants. Still far too many plant fiber crops. Clothier is still making clothes nonstop and there's still too much plant fiber. Several bins of unused plant cloth is still waiting to be made into clothing.
Fish is also in abundance. Single dwarf fishes, and brings in a big amount each year. As is, caught fish can only be eaten if cooked alongside other ingredients. With a dwarf tasked to clean fish, they can be eaten as is without cooking. Some fish creatures, like mussels, also produce shells that can be used. A dwarf with bone carving can craft shells into little trinkets to sell. Low value stuff, but it all adds up in the end. And mussels are the main fish caught, and there's nearly a thousand shells to be made into trinkets.
Also, animals also produce bones when butchered. Sometimes hooves, and horns, and if animal is big enough ivory/teeth. All stuff that a bone carver can make into crafts.
At this point, there's no need to sell off weapons for trade. All the steel can be made into stuff for the fort instead of using them for trade.

I do feel like I should come out and say what exactly my role is. So far, you've been the one who's really pressing me to come out and say it.
Like, as much as you can be an asset to town, you're still one person. You could be mafia. I'd rather not say how my role works unless there's a bit more than one person asking for it.

Apologies for not talking. Had to accompany someone to their vaccination, and I really underestimated how long it took. Close to six hours in the car, on a rather hot day, when I hoped I had a day ahead of me relaxing.
Anyways, night phase, and I drew a blank. I can cast a ball of fire (not a big one), or make things sparkle or just spark a tiny bit, but I ain't no miracle worker. As far as I can tell, no one tried to mess with what I did, but doesn't mean that who I aimed for is in the clear.
Aside from that, I have to bemusedly note that Zack Morris did almost the same thing I did on a previous life. Host didn't notice vote, and Zack had to point it out to make it clear he was participating...

Out of spite, Produceman for voting me... but I'm above such things. Even though I'm totally not above such things. *kof*
I'd say the ones hanging back the most, I suppose without a clear reason for it would be suspect. I'm on the spotlight, so if I were to guess some of the mafia members would be content to hang out and hope that I dig a hole for me to fall in, though at the same time there may be one of the more vocal ones being mafia putting pressure on me.
Unfortunately, we're really running out of time, and honestly I do have to go to bed soon as 6 hours from now at the least I gotta head out with parent to get our second dose of vaccine.
Silly as it sounds, but considering the theme, I'll settle for rolling the dice roller I found on google. Rolled a d8 dice, 9 of us but putting me in would be silly since otherwise I'd vote for myself... based on page 1 on the sign ups list... rolled a 6. Skipping me, that comes out as Produceman.
Vote: Produceman
Frankly, I don't think that it would be him, since he got to be mafia last game. But the dice is the dice. If it were him, my reasoning would be his constant pressure on me, him defending you, and maybe his fluff posts being a bit too self depreciative of himself to make him look harmless.

Well, I can throw fireballs. Like, fwoosh, fwoosh. And less flashy but I can figure out... stuff. Sometimes it's the wrong stuff but I'll find out about it.

Yet another goblin invasion force.
Good thing that on the previous attack I made sure to halt pretty much all production to have citizens haul the cages back and make several of them temporary mechanics to reload the cages.
The enemy screen is getting a bit full. Gotta thin out the herd with my militia.

So I kinda forgot to do a noble's request to make a damn buckler and for some reason the blame was put upon the very captain of the guard. Whoops.
In any case, embarked on the area of the fort for the possibility of giant saltwater crocodiles. So far none has arrived in the biome, but got a consolation prize. Elves finally did something nice and got me two non-giant saltwater crocs. They ain't giant, so not as effective as security, but still a saltwater croc that can breed. A female can lay up to 20-70 eggs, and saltwater crocs can be trained for war. Giant or normal sized. Takes three years for a croc to reach adult age to be trained, so bit of an investment, but through egg amount they're pretty much the best if you want lots of animals.
Feeling like I invest 6 years for two generations of tame crocs. War train them, and unleash them on a small room along with all the goblin, troll, and beak dog prisoners I got so far. Naked prisoners with no weapons, but the crocs are naked as well. Let them fight. Either the invaders overcome and I kill them, or the crocs get names for their feats and I keep some of them for breeding. As nature intended.

And with that, one of the things I kept wondering about has been solved. Thanks for that.

Somewhat unrelated. I remember, before I got to see my first Mr Bean VHS, I remember my parents renting out for me something with a similar premise. More or less mute doofus getting into trouble due to their own silly ways. Character may have been bald and probably fat. That's all I could remember.

Just for funsies, I took a look at my fort's stock of items, and I figure it would be interesting to explain each category bit by bit.
Ammunition: Bolts for crossbows, and arrows for bows. There's blowpipes in the game so I assume they would have ammunition for it. Required for hunters and crossbowdwarves. For target practice, bone bolts may come in handy so you won't need to use metal for practice ammo. More shots a dwarf fires the more xp, and bone will do less damage so that's more xp. Wood may be used... but you may need wood for a variety of other stuff so it would be a waste. For combat ammo, copper is good enough. No need for steel.
Amulets: just crafts. Not much use aside from trading them off. Stuff like wood, stone, bone, or metal can be used to make them. Some nobles might like them and will demand you to make them, or demand that you don't trade them away for a period of time.
Animal traps: traps for small animals. Vermin basically, not the stuff dwarves would normally eat. Vermins annoy some dwarves, but not enough to be a big deal unless you have a massive amount of problems in your fort. Vermin can be trained to be traded, but honestly what's the point. An animal trapper and dissector makes use of vermin, but your better off having the ones who have those skills do something more productive.
Anvils: Important part of the fort. No anvil, no forging. No forging, no weapons and armor. No weapons and armor, you might as well wait for an invasion to put an end to your misery. Sorta. Iron and steel anvils are available, though there's no difference between them aside from metal used. Some dwarves may create an artifact anvil, which functions like iron and steel, but has more value to make your fort richer.
To be continued later. Otherwise this is gonna be one hell of a long post.

Also, shouldn't have trained captured beak dogs. They're still considered invaders, so the butcher won't touch them, and until they revert to a wild state, I can't kill them to be butchered.
Tried moving necromancer. Forgot that it can revive things close to it, even if in chains. That said, all it resurrected were giant hamster hair. Dwarves didn't like getting attacked by harmless hair, so several crowded around the necromancer and beat him to death.
And while I was typing, get alerted by another goblin attack. Once again, most of them got cage trapped, 100 or so of them, while remaining 30 or so got mopped up by militia squad 1.

Woke up as dog wants to do his business. Going back to bed.
Tyger, best I can say is there might be a reason on the rp. Maybe I'm being unhelpful or I'm bluffing. Who knows?

Also, not sure if it's that crazy, but I seem to have a reoccurring theme with some dreams. I get bit, often it's a dog, and I spend the rest of the dream worrying about getting a rabies shot and the time I'll have to going and then lining up for the shot, and near the end of the dream as I begin to wake up I realize "oh wait, I'm dreaming, I don't need a shot." then lately my brain starts to tell me that it may be the case in the real world, but in my brain realm I need that shot. Sometimes it skips past the end and I wake up worrying about scheduling getting a shot and that's when I get some water and go back to bed.

yeah we did the same exact thing to tyger last time and i will say from what i can tell him and Produceman are acting no different than they have before My play style doesn’t really change all that much from game to game. I’m fairly aggressive and try to put pressure on people to see how they react. Speaking of which, Vote: aka CthulhuTo me, his response to my suspicion was not satisfactory, tried to defend not posting anything helpful or substantial because it’s “Day 1” and the baffling suspicion towards @irontyger has no weight. *lobs small potion bottle at aka Cthulhu* aka Cthulhu: Hey, why am I all slippery now?!?? Me: Crap that was my lantern oil!! Thinking about it, all this talk of fluff... fluff this, fluff that. Are we looking for scum, or a fluffing cloud? Well, fluff that... *insert pause as I pat myself on the back for that wordplay* Honestly, ya know what? More I think about it, the more it seems strange going after the ones with posts being mostly fluff, especially on day 1. Previous game, MrB a townie got lynched for reasons that his posts were fluff. I should know, I went for that targeting him. Like, yeah, it could weed out possible mafia members, but considering numbers it can be more likely to lynch a townie who's just quiet. Just unproductive all around, unless your mafia seeking out a quick kill. And you better believe I'll be sending you a bill for the oil! That robe's rare, made from elf hair. Like dammit I put on my best robe and next thing I know I got oil over my robe and wand.
