Unib picks up a piece of paper fallen in the hall, nearly trampled by the boots of the dwarfs milling around.
That's not one of my pamphlets...
On its back is written a short text
Dwarfs of Redlabored!
Are you not tired of seeing your work wasted in the self-aggrandizing projects of a leader so weak he has to be carried in a wheelbarrow like a decadent human? Who has commissioned, at great expense and heavy labor, luxurious personal quarters while we sleep in the mud like goblins! Whose disastrous administration had seen the most horrible shortage, shortage of Alcohol. Who let a criminally incompetent trader start a most disastrous war with our closest neighbors for a macaque! Forcing us to bury underground, preventing us to chop down more trees and cutting us from the rest of the dwarf realm, all the while accepting race traitors in our midst!
Support me and your work will be recognized.
Support me and the flow of glorious alcohol will resume in our parched throats.
Support me and Redlabored will not be afraid of anyone.
Support me and we will dig the riches of the earth for all of us.
Kommunism inevitably leads to benevolent dictatorship. Maybe its time to shed the false pretenses and declare what we trully are and stand for? The Imperium of Dwarves, led by the emprah of dorfkind, glorious and plated in gold. Just let that sink in for a moment. Sky (or the ceiling, considering we're underground) is our limit.

*Scribbles on notepad* Gives out unwelcomed hugs...believes the Kommissar's rule to not be benevolent...desires an autocratic, reactionary, bourgeois Imperium. Verdict: Ideologically unsound.
Dwarves of Redlabored have made their decision. Your treacherous plot has FAILED, Helly! This means that you, your worthless husband Wayward Son, and even your baby dwarf Melbil are BANISHED to Gulag, where you will live and prosper! It will be a short life, but one thing I can promise: it will be full of hard work, pain, and suffering. Let your tears serve an example for every backstabbing double-crosser of my crumbling fortress.
Oh yes, everyone banished to Gulag lose their citizenship and voting rights. That'll teach you!
You'll get some personal key choices during administrative decisions round.
Life in Redlabored continues. More decisions are waiting for us. You might notice there is no building priorities agenda this time - we'll postpone this decision for another Season or two because Food District, Kommunalka and proper Wood District need to be finished first. Helly's sabotage needs to be undone before we resume our progress.
MAKE YOUR KEY CHOICE
Agenda №1: The Gates.
It can be difficult down here without surface access. No merchants, no foraging/fishing/hunting, no wood, no fresh water. On the other hand, it's safer that way. Even a single death might trigger a tantrum spiral at this point. So what do we do about it?
Option 1: Keep the gates closed.
Safety above all else. We'll open them for a short while to banish Helly and her family; let those migrants and visitors inside; and haul stone blocks to the surface. And then we shall seal ourselves again for another year.
If something nasty comes attacking, Helly will die.
Option 2: Open the damn gates.
Sure, our military isn't ready just yet. But maybe Kalin can defend Redlabored on his own? He proved to be capable during troglodyte encounter.
If something nasty comes attacking, Helly will die first.
No need to worry, Gulag prisoners won't be permitted to enter the fortress, regardless of our decision. Kalin will turn them into a pulp if they do.
I'll make dwarf-specific burrow restrictions to ensure the banished dwarves will stay on the surface
Agenda №2: Spigot's Punishment.
Newspapers don't lie: Spigot is the cause of our current problems. Such a terrible assault must not be left unanswered!
Option 1: One year in the mines/military, depending on Kommander's choice to conscript him or not. That'll break his pride.
Option 2: Banish him to Gulag. That'll break his life.
Option 3: Make him a Broker for another year. That'll teach him how to deal with merchants properly.
Option 4: Death Sentence. That'll be fun.
Agenda №3: Political Stance.
Tekkud the outpost liaison is waiting outside. He brings news from the outside world. What do we do in case he offers to join Queen Bomrek as a loyal subject?
Option 1: Join the Courageous Crafts.
We need the Queen's protection, more migrants, trading, and everything else that comes with it. Tekkud will ask who will become the Baron (owner of Redlabored), which is a no-brainer. Alas, Grimwulf cannot be the Baron AND the Mayor at the same time, so he will appoint a temporary mayor until the komrades elect a new one.
Option 2: Remain Independent.
Because fuck the Queen and her kapitalistic ways of living. We didn't come here to enjoy ourselves. We came here to work and die!
ELECTIONS
The rules are still the same.
1. We shall hold elections every year in Winter.
2. Each komrade of Redlabored can vote if he or she is at least 12 years old. Yes, females can vote too.
3. The Kommissar only votes when there is a tie.
4. Those who failed to cast their votes in time are considered abstained.
5. If a sudden death something unexpected happens to a Redlabored official before his term of office runs out, the Kommissar appoints a temporary replacement until next elections.
6. You are NOT allowed to vote for the Kommissar. He's too busy doing important things.
7. You are allowed to vote for yourself.
8. One dwarf can hold any number of positions unless this dwarf is Militia Commander.
9. If a dwarf is elected for Militia Commander and for other positions as well, he becomes Militia Commander and chooses dwarf/dwarves to replace him in other positions.
HOWEVAR, this time around you cannot vote for Helly, Wayward Son, and Spigot.
In case Kodex Konsensus on the second agenda was to punish Spigot's by appointing him as the broker again, the results of broker elections are void, and Spigot keeps the broker position for another year.
Agenda №1: The Gates.
Option 2: Open the damn gates.
Agenda №2: Spigot's Punishment.
Option 1: One year in the military - maybe I can hide behind his back if things go wrong.
Agenda №3: Political Stance.
Join the Courageous Crafts - that creates a new sinecure just for me. This is what kommunism is about, right?
I vote for Lagole Gon in every election, because I want to escape from Kalin - the king of all posers!
I would like to notice that Lagole Gon has decent mental stats for a desk job and has political connections. History shows that political connections are a core part of every kommunist kommunity!
1. Close the gates! Because reasons.
2. Spigot should mine. If he really is a dwarf - he can do it.
3. Why you even ask? Of course we will stay independent!
4. Militia Commander - Kalin, of course!
Manager - Sukhāvatī. No one hates her(yet).
Broker - Reinhardt, of course!
Bookkeeper - sqeecoo. It is a mystery what she does anyway so she can continue.
Chief Medical Dwarf - Azira can't even predict number of children. Bliblablubb for medic!
Okay, honestly now. My dwarf actually has good mental stats for a medical desk job and diagnostics.
Also, he has some skillpoints in gelding. That's almost like a surgeon.
Sick Dorfs can drink only water. That means YOU can drink only water... Because you're sick in the head... Get it? Serious case of Phoniea Poserosis.
That's my diagnosis and you can trust it, because I have the stats for it.
Agenda №1: Keep the gates closed.
Personally I'd open it from time to time - when noone is knocking and there are no sounds of fight. Little bit of a russian roulette, but at least we'll have time to gather water or whatever we need from the surface.
Agenda №2: One year in the mines/military.
If Kalin would like to see spigot in his ranks, sent him there. Otherwise I think he'd much better help in mining. His broker decisions are one of the major things which seperated us from the outside world.
Agenda №3: Remain Independent.
I dunno. This was random, because I have no clue how much this could help or fuck us even further. Are there any monthly requirements or anything like that? We can't deal with our own shit right now.
voting:
Militia Kommander: Kalin . He shown us the way of rage(rape) and silver hammer. ATM he seems to be the most warrior-like dorf in the fortress.
Manager: no clue, so I'll stick with Reinhardt vote - Sukhāvatī
Broker: Reinhardt - again, no clue and his votes seems to be pretty straight forward.
Bookkeeper - sqeecoo
Chief Medical Dwarf - Azira
Agenda №1: Open the gates to let immigrants in, then seal them back. Also move wood stockpile underground.
Agenda №2: One year in the mines/military, especially seeing how we have vacancy in Prolebashers.
Agenda №3: Remain Independent, for now. Also barons are decadent.
Elections:
Militia Commander - Kalin, the Bane of Trogs
Manager - Sukhāvatī, mechanically inclined and stoic
Broker - Reinhardt
Bookkeeper - sqeecoo
Chief Medical Dwarf - Azira, Professor of Aromatherapy
I dunno. This was random, because I have no clue how much this could help or fuck us even further. Are there any monthly requirements or anything like that? We can't deal with our own shit right now.
I know it's random, but there is a possibility that once we open the gates, Tekkud will beeline towards Grimwulf with his inane proposals. Don't want to stop next update right at the beginning just so we can vote, that's why we're voting for it in advance.
Mechanically speaking, Tekkud will might offer to become a Barony, asking for Grimwulf's recommendation of a Baron candidate. This will trigger a half-arsed political career of Baron --> Count --> Duke --> King(?) for Grimwulf, while unlocking the position of a Mayor Kommissar for other komrades.
If we decline Tekkud's offer now, he will keep bombarding us with the exact same shit every year or so. Nothing stops us from declining again, of course. It goes something like this:
Okay, quick question: Why people here want verbally handicaped dorf to keep his position as a broker? He literally makes trade interface dysfunctional.
