Dwarf Fortress, by committee, vote 2!
« on: June 20, 2014, 11:57:48 am »
Hello Dwarf Fortress Community!

This is an idea i had while on vacation and decided to toss it out to the community.  I call it "Dwarf Fortress, by committee".  The general idea for the initial stages of the game will be to vote on various aspects of setting up a Dwarf Fortress game.  nearly everything will be voted on up to the the actual embark, thus it will continue blood line fashion with one turn equaling 1 24 hour day.
Save uploaded by 1 PM EST and screen shots with writeup sometime after hopefully while someone else is playing.

Some simple rules:
  • No dwarven atom smashers (bridges to destroy foes) for any other purpose then garbage disposal.
  • No deliberate mining to hell with out a properly prepared defense, or otherwise sabotaging the fort for the shear fun of it.
  • No abusing the melting system to generate infinite metals, if used for training ensure return does not exceed 100%

Expanded rules will come out with each new pole, and recommendations are welcome, and can be voted on, "by committee".

So without further adieu, our second poll question, that will be open for votes until ABOUT 13:00 EST

How long should the world history be?

Cheers and happy voting.

Nothing.  Well then.. I suppose i'll bump my own post, maybe no one noticed the change in the primary topic.  But the new poll/question is still:

How long should the generated world history be?

Don't know if it's forum bug or yours, but it doesn't work. As any committee, though.

Did you know that the Russian word for "sock" is "no sock"?

I just saw a guy with two broken legs push a minecart with a corpse in it. Yeah.

Since I can't click the option, I'll just say it. I vote for 250 years

No! No! I will not massacre my children. Instead, I'll make them corpulent on crappy mass-produced quarry bush biscuits and questionably grown mushroom alcohol, and then send them into the military when they turn 12...

hum annoying, think the mods would get mad if i opened a new thread for the voting? i was tiring to keep it condensed.  posting a vote as a reply perfectly acceptable in the inter-um.

EDIT:  i think i know what i did wrong, i set a time limitation on the original poll, and that may be why its locked out now.
