A complaint
[Editor’s Note: No wifi on the train so I finally have an excuse to listen catchup on some podcasts read some books and play Dwarf Fortress]
Suggestions chalked-outside the office of Dumat Adilsezuk
27th Galena
Dear Expedition Leader Dumat Adilsezuk,
I’d like to complain about the state of this Outpost. I understand this place has only been established for a few months, but I’d like a little privacy with my wife. I appreciate you’ve been working on making the fortress asfer with all these new traps and a bore hole but I don’t even have a room where I talk without every dwarf in this fortress hearing me. Plus your office faces directly onto the dormitory.
Kind regards,
Ral Boatwaxed
PS Could you ask someone to make goblets I think everyone would be happier not drinking out of the barrel.

Diary of Dumat Adilsezuk Expedition Leader 28th of Galena
I found this complaint chalked next to my door this morning from a disgruntled new citizen. We’ve had 6 new migrants. In the last season arriving from the east. Most of them are content with the conditions. This beardo clearly thinks that his need to alone with his wife, whatever that means, is worth disturbing me for. If he needs a quiet place I’ve set aside a little room for prayer and contemplation.
I’ll have you know I use that dorm too. That draughty cold two-bed dorm.
We are most of the way to building a well, we do however need blocks and mechanisms. Work is slow here and although I know more migrants will mean more mouths to feed, it’ll mean more helping hands. Work is slow.
