This is a new thread for a new succession game fortress. If you aren't familiar with Dwarf Fortress, I recommend finding the main Thread in Games and checking it out. There's a good reason why everyone is going crazy over it (Probably because everyone is actually crazy)
What's going to happen
We will be taking turns managing a Fortress in the game Dwarf Fortress. The turns will be a full year each, from Spring through summer, fall, winter, and then the turn ends at the beginning of spring in the second year. During these turns, expect starvations, ambushes, floods, dead kittens and tiny dwarf dramas. Good stuff
There are some new rules.
1. The Player Order list will not be included this time, seeing as players are simply "not around" to play, and waiting after them destroys some of these threads. INSTEAD, we will give the turn to whoever is readily available and willing to play.
2. Whoever is currently playing has 48 hours to finish their turn. No exceptions, if they do not finish their turn, they have 12 hours to post the current save file to continue from (regardless of what season/day they are in). If they cannot even do that, then their efforts are lost and the game continues on from the last save file posted.
If someone DOES bail out and post the save while he was somewhere in the middle of some season, then the next person to take his turn will have his Year "start" from the beginning of the first season change he sees. So if the save dates from the middle of Fall, 4th year, then the next player's turn will end at the beginning of Winter of the 5th year.
3. POST THE SAVE FILE IN THIS THREAD AFTER YOU ARE DONE.
4. POST "GOOD" UPDATES so we know what the heck is going on. General rule of thumb, if the post has less then 10 lines, odds are your update isn't too good. Exaclty how you make the update apart from that is up to you, I recommend making 1 update per season and posting Screenies.
5. Don't sabotage the fort purposely right before your turn is done, like flooding it or something, although that would be hilarious.
6. Everything else goes, so go crazy and make the most insane projects you feel like doing. Wanna flood the entire map with magma? Go for it by all means.
Thread rules:
You are free to discuss anything relating to Dwarf Fortress in this thread. The insanity peaks your interest and now you got a question about the game? Go ahead and post it. This is NOT a private, exclusive party reserved for the folk that speak some moon language about dwarves and fortresses, and it should not be. If you're a casual reader, completely oblivious to what the hell is going on with these cheap ASCII characters which others mysteriously understand clearly, then go ahead and make a post asking about it. We'll be happy to reply.
I will start up the fort and finish it later tonight God damn this is taking a long time, but I'm a perfectionist at heart so hopefully you guys won't be too disappointed by waiting a little longer. This post is prompt to be edited with Embark location info and some other stuff. Please by all means post away in the meantime, finding the perfect site with the most features (without cheating mind you) could take a bit.
