Gentlemen, A proposition for yee!
« on: April 15, 2010, 10:41:16 am »

I suggest that the people of the Bay12Forums start a Forum Story. You may be unaware of what a forum story is; a forum story is a story ran by the people who wish to take part, people make their characters propose and discuss a plot/theme/situation and then the participants write sections of the story, building on what the man (or woman) has written before him. It has worked on my second forum (Tyranid Mod) and is hugely successful there. For example: Most of the people on the forum have created a character and they take turns in writing a story that takes place in a huge demonic maze, the characters have superpowers or magic, and attempt to get out of it fighting antagonists and magical beings on the way. I suggest we do something different although the theme of a huge maze is epic and I wouldn't mind doing a second one (my characters name is Urist :3).
 You do not write just for your character although it is recommended on the introduction post of your character as you can set up and present your character as you wish.

I would like to hear feedback from whoever views this thread on their thoughts on the matter, whether it should be carried out, where it should be done or any problems they have with the concept or questions.

 Thanks, HR234

Rather than having them directly force you to mine adamantine, I would suggest that they give you strange moods that require adamantine. "Dig out the adamantine or Urist here goes insane and dies" is suitably vicious.

(It occurs to me that you can probably get "Lovecraft" as the random name of your fortress. That's when you know you're screwed.)
