When I returo the city with the s, I realized it was only aen days until I had to start running the academy again for two weeks. There was already quite a bit of stockpiled stone down in the cavern that o be hauled out, but I figured that adding some more into the mix wouldn't be a bad idea. We've finally reached the point of the year where we get a handful of goblins w in the reservoir quarrying out one so we start expanding our reservain.

  I also asked around to see if anyone had seen Boggs, the fisherdwarf. He had apparently stopped bato the city a few times, and I just happeo miss him as he only stayed for a day or two while here. This summer, when I'm w in the vilge getting our felt industry up and running, I'll have to keep a close eye out for him. He's supposedly been fishing for almost five months now, but I haven't heard a word about any of his findings.

  It's not like he's being a drain on our society, but we also built him a hut, and invited him to our isnd. I'd really like to at least gain a little bit of info from him, otherwise it would have beeer not to let him in at all. I mean he isn't even iing with the other dwarves.

  I thought about this issue repeatedly while back up on the mountain for seven days expanding the exploratory tunnel and harvesting the four new crystal bubbles that I found in the rocks while I mined. If Boggs is keeping himself this busy, surely the fishing must be goht?

  I went to set up the notice at city hall reted to colleg evolution and prestige information, and I realized that I have a bit of a problem. When I talk to others, I usually just say how many days until whatever event we need. I've internally been keeping a dar, but I just realized that the goblins aren't keeping dars themselves. I'm not actually sure that my internal dar is the best for here either.

  I decided to sult with the dwarves reted to how their dar works, and they use a 5-6-13 dar. By that I mean they have five days to a week, six weeks in a month, and thirteen months in a year. This is fairly reasonable. I've noticed myself that there is nearly exactly 30 days between the sor eclipses with the great moon, and 13 months in the year, where the sor eclipse occurs at a slightly different time of day each month, until after thirteen months, it's back at it's starting point. The seasons also cycle on that thirteen month system.

  From here on, I'll be switg to the dwarvish dar, as it's more funal here than my internal dar. The best way for me to start implementing it is to install a rge version of the dar nearby the job posting board at city hall. I'll have two months listed side by side, then a 5x6 grid with dates underh each month name pcard. There will also be an indicator to show which day it is, and the month pcard will be intergeable.

  This way the goblins see the current month, and the month. I'll also put small holes into the dar dates where pre-shaped pins be ied. I'll make different shaped pin heads, which be used to indicate a particur event. Then that same symbol be put on the job tracts reted to it, so individuals track what day iure certain jobs might occur.

  I still 't believe that we haven't been using a dar as a society. It's quite useful for a lot of different reasons, so I'm gd that I'm at least getting to it now. Of course, I'm going to have to have Konkur write their month's names in dwarvish to use as the pte up above it. Sino one else speaks dwarvish, I'll also put a symbol and a marking oe to indicate season and month. For example, three water drops for the rainy season, then a siar to indicate the first month. I'll use a sun for summer, which is also our dry season, three wavy lines for fall, which is whe more overcast days and wind, and then a snowy mountaintop for winter, when our mountais snow. By the st month of the year, we'll have 13 stars, indig the 13th month.

  I finished up with the new dar and pins the day before I started running csses at the academy. I only hope that it makes seo the goblins after a few days of seeing how things work. Of course, I expined how the dar works to Zata and Kita, the goblins in charge of handling the job board and handing out jobs to goblins. Not only are they in charge of updating the dar, but they're also the most likely to face the brunt of the questioed to it.

  I've noticed that there are even more new goblins this cycle as pared to st cycle, and I'm guessing it has to do with the fact that the new summoning facility was pleted underground within the tral wall. Zeb seems to have a good uanding of the y to not waste space, as the above ground portion is desigo fun as a new city guard facility. The previous tral guard facility funed as the jail as well. While it will still fun as such, this new facility is designed with more administration in mind, along with some e areas. These are obvious many barricades away from the underground portiohe imps are to be summoned.

  The underground portion is divided into mini summoning pits, plete with their own bars so that Zaka summon directly ihe pit without actually having any risk to the imps esg. All the pit's desigo have very thick walls, and no hiding spots. Zeb seems a little ed about what might happen if another imp like me were to be summoned, and figured out how to sneak out of here. I'm a little less worried about that, and am more worried about the idea of an imp like me being torn limb from limb, but I've left the design to him, so I suppose I'll try not to think about that.

  Ultimately, there are four pits that hold about fifteen imps each with reasonable spabsp; The only way in and out of those pits is also orieowards the only stairwell in and out of this subterranean area, sort of like the prison was, so that you 't actually get out without someone seeing something. Before, I had found the aaking goblins a little violent, but this is really pathological. Again, I don't know that I should speak out though. Our biology is signifitly different than humans or dwarves, so the biological drive for prote of young is just different I suppose.

  This new schedule of csses ended up running a bit more smoothly than the previous one, despite having a little over fifty goblins in it this time. I've decided to ask the stru teams to please slow down how many new houses they build such that we get to at most thirty goblins a cycle for a while. I'm a little worried about the pertage of the popution that is new, and how that tends to lead to devian beliefs. The academy is supposed to help with that issue, but we've basically introduced 15% of our entire popution i four months.

  Plus, I'm sure they have other stru projects they could work on to help improve our isnd. With moblins likely to pick up stone shaping this year as we still have goblins breaking ro the reservoir, it's also not a bad idea to e up with some new rge scale projects that could be worked on. I'll think on that issue while I work on some of my projects between now and the cycle of academy csses.

  As for how the rep on evolution and prestiges went, it was a bit of a mixed bag. I promised pay for information about circumstahat had led to evolution and prestige, but I hadn't been very clear about what I was looking for, so I ended up basically wasting most of my day listening to the repeated tales of goblins as to how they had prestiged once, and gotten nothing out of it after having lived in the vilge for a few months after they first became a goblin. ly useful information. I still payed them all the same, but I'll o be more precise about what exafo I'm looking for, and that I'll be paying differently based on if it's new information, or old information.

  Basically, if the informatio give me any new insights, I'll pay them the smallest oving forward, and if they have new information, I'll pay them more depending on how valuable the insight they provide is. This might lead to some missed information, but at least it won't lead to an absurd amount of wasted time. It wasn't all for naught though. There were a few iing things that I learhat I'll be detailing out.
