Welcome to Thunderdome

We do drill all over Alaska as far as I know. Unless you mean that you want to somehow replace the the 600,000 square miles that make up the Gulf of Mexico with the Artic National Wildlife Refuge , which is less than 50,000 square miles. I'm sure that will work somehow. Edited By Troy on 1272657071

Let go ahead and add that I'm not against drilling, it's sort of a necessary evil, and that there are tons of rigs that do this without ecological disasters. But I don't totally understand how rigs that are designed to withstand Cat 5 Hurricanes can not have enough safety systems to stop the flow o...

I'm sure everyone has read the story by now. Rig explosions, multiple leaks 1.5 kilometers underground, no obvious solutions. CNN Story This is a moderately big deal on the news sites. It should be bigger. It will really start to get noticed when the pictures of wildlife covered in oil start rollin...

Catching up on this series... The Old Breed bring this show back to watchable, especially the last episode. Sledge's account of the fighting help them a lot with the details, i guess.

I did some cleaning up in the house. DON'T MESS IT UP!! I made two more cupboards and packed things in more tightly. I sorted, and tried to put like things together. There's a couple cupboards that hold misc shit too. All the food is to the left with lots of beef in there. How much straw do we prod...

Also, I just tried to place a claim to the east of yours. Plan was to extend the claim to include the east wall we are building. It said that I could not extend my claim so close to someone elses. So, it's up to you to extend it. . . When we find a second place to set up shop, I'd be happy to get i...

Combat and Hospital/Health care systems are great, as long as you have good medical dwarves, space, and all the tools they need, surgery/stiches/sutures are very functional, and will save you a lot of headache. All the monsters are harder though, so you definitely need it. Last night I stayed up un...
