Alright, I don't think we've ever actually been through one of these.

SO LES DO EET!

What the hell is this, Bood you crazy bastard?

If you don't know what a succession game is, it's to play a collective fortress, in the game Dwarf Fortress. Every player takes the fortress for a year, posts what happened (usually from the point of view of one of the dwarves) and the next one takes it. The famous example is the epic saga of Boatmurdered.

Also if you are new to DF, a couple of useful links:

Vijya Tutorials

Wiki (FIX'D)


Now get out there men, and give me the best damn fortress you can.

The Rules, Dammit

One year = one turn, from spring of one year to spring of the next. Once you see the cheery green "Spring has arrived!" text, save it, zip it, and get it to the next player. [...] Feel free to break your turn up into a bunch of posts, but let's try and keep it moving along.

Once it's your turn, you get a week from the time that the link is posted to take your turn. If you start but can't finish, your successor has the option to pick up where you left off and play out the rest of your turn and their. If you don't start, then the old savegame just goes to the next player. [...]

- At the end of your turn, you send the saves to the poor bastardlucky person next in line AND me. The folder should be in .rar compression and named as /[TURN NUMBER][YOUR NAME][NAME OF FORTRESS]

-I will require a post when you are halfway through to report what has happened and at the end of your turn, in the viewpoint of your choice. Sometime back Melly did a pretty neat coverage of a fortress he ran, if you need some inspiration.

-Signups are to be Italicized and Lime Green


If some brave soul wished to start this thing off, by all means go ahead. If not, I will create a world based on the wishes of the people (you.)

That is all.

The link to the wiki seems broken. It's going to a domain squatter.

[Okenido]

I'd like to be third in line.

There needs to be a rule that all dwarves must be named after random forum members.

I'll join in. Definitely not going first though.

[Nikica]

I think I could spare some time to play it but I'm not that good at posting what happened and especially not in a "story-style".

[shipwreck]

I could be persuaded...

I love writing up my DF exploits. It's been far too long since my last venture so I don't feel comfortable starting it up (unless you want it to be done wrong).

By the by, what version are we using? I'm rather fond of the May Green graphics versions.

Ya, same here. I love DF but I'm no good at writing stories about it. 

[Jack Gleeson]

I'm up for this.

I was planning on using the latest version, though it doesn't really matter to me.

I was (am) hoping that someone would want to start this thang, as I haven't run a fortress in quite a while, though I could do something decent.

What sort of area would you guys want to start a fort in? Chasm? Haunted? Forest?

[Jack Gleeson]

I vote for haunted ocean. I'll start up the game if you want. I'll need a few days before I get time to though.

[fraxcell]

I'd be interested in somewhere haunted or terrifying. Always makes things a little more interesting.

[tylerthedesigner]

Count me in.

Are we using vanilla DF?
