I, for one, welcome our new fruit-based overlord!
Heh.

pumpkin is a vegetable, not a fruit

I beg to differ.

Many true fruits, in a botanical sense, are treated as vegetables in cooking and food preparation because they are not sweet. These culinary vegetables include cucurbits (e.g., squash, pumpkin, and cucumber), tomatoes, peas, beans, corn, eggplant, and sweet pepper; some spices, such as allspice and chilies, are botanical fruits.[4] Occasionally, though rarely, a culinary "fruit" is not a true fruit in the botanical sense. For example, rhubarb is often referred to as a fruit, because it is used to make sweet desserts such as pies, though only the petiole of the rhubarb plant is edible.[5] In the culinary sense, a fruit is usually any sweet tasting plant product associated with seed(s), a vegetable is any savoury or less sweet plant product, and a nut is any hard, oily, and shelled plant product.[6]
--The Font of All Knowledge (wikipedia)

Vegetable is a cooking classification. Fruit is a Botanical classification. Pumpkins are both.

Edit--but I suppose this means I have to withdraw my support, as I can hardly welcome a fruit and/or vegetable overlord. Sorry Pumpkin.

What a coincidence. Me and a group of friends have just started building a fortress in the far south-east.

An herb...and a FRUIT. And a false berry. All three at once.
But I think we are sticking on-topic a bit too much. This thread needs more topic veerage.

Aren't watermelons berries?

I approve of this development. Southeast is where the last remnants of Mordor are, so it needs to be preserved if anyone is to hunt bears. Your stance towards Bottleneck seems very reasonable, too.
