Wait for the next release. I want usable mugs damn it!

We can use the current one. I like the big trees and slightly smarter dorfs.

Wait what's this about a week
I play Stellaris and Overwatch for three weeks minutes and i miss the biggest announcement in this thread since 2013

[The Master]

I prefer the name, Themasterthemaster. It's got a nice ring to it.

[TheBiggerFish]

Clockbroken sounds good to me.

Maybe Spearbroken.

[Monitor Lisard]

It's been Crystalclocks in my head for months now. Although I do think it might be a bit too dignified-sounding for the unholy clusterfuck that is to ensue.

Maybe something like "Clockbroken"?

More like "Clownboned" or "Swordblocked"

Or what about "Clockworked" instead? Vibes of violence and steam/dieselpunk provided.

On the serious note, it'd be fine if you used the RNG for such a task. After that, we might decide on how to make the fortress live up to its name.

[Aldraglienon]

I like Clockworked too, as hilarious as Clownboned would be.

As if Spearbreakers had anything to do with all the fucking mugs! Lol.

Spearbreakers more like Mugmuggers the Mugness of Mugs

Oooh, I like this one.  Can we actually do that?

I'm not sure. I hope so.

Modding it in isn't hard

[Splint]

Okay guys, devised some rules and all, modified slightly from my old one.

Spoiler: rules and sich (click to show/hide)

RULES OF ENGAGEMENT
TURNS AND POLICIES

• Turns follow standard proceedings, one year as normal more or less, Due to the current calendar changes, this means 14th Granite to 1st or 14th Granite (player choice.) Think of it as getting affairs in order for departure from office.
• Hard cap on time. I've learned from Spearbreakers, and as such no dragging your heels guys. You have one day to pick up the save, 2 weeks to play – provided you give us regular status reports during that time. If you don't provide in update within three days of eachother, you get skipped.
  
  I don't want to be a hardass but Spearbreakers was a disaster because I was too lenient in this area. If you fall short by this deadline, the next person plays the remainder of your year (if past or during Galena,) or your turn is discarded (if before Galena.)
• Multiple turns are allowed, but there needs to be either two skips or a successful turn between your own unless nobody volunteers for 24 hours.
• A turn may be lengthened by up to a year if and only if the next person consents to it (such as to let you finish a project, fight a battle, or they need a few days before they can spend the time on their turn, for example.)
• Due to the huge variety of threats, trap use is fair game to soften attackers up, but try to not use blender halls unless you know we can't win with an open engagement. Those would make battles too easy, in addition to the damn things being expensive resource wise and unreliable against some things.
• More of a nitpick, but militadorfs are not to be given massive layers of gear. This is for both resource conservation and challenge - will our stalwart warriors be able to face the be-toothed foe without sixteen mail shirts and four capes?
• Please refrain from throwing people out of thier rooms unless it's for important fortress officials who decided to suddenly appear (of which, no overseer, technically you are not. You do get your owns spiffy office and official title though!)

CHARACTERS AND UPDATES

• We essentially have our own Dammaz Kron, except it's not just a book of grudges, but a great tome of history. All overseers are assumed to enter their updates in this big fuck-off book large enough to bea a spawn to death with, so they don't need to clutter thier own private journals.
• Only one real rule on characters here: No crazy special snowflakes. No gnomes, no shapeshifters, no freaky living shadows, none of that shit. I mean no offense to anyone, but that caused a large part of the problem before. You have your dwarf in the game world, that's what you have to work with. You can disregard in-game personality traits if you like, but be realistic about it. That dwarf dies, that's it.

• Of course in the event of a death, you can always claim a new dwarf.~ I bet Lolfail will die the most.

• Screenshots are required for major events (besides sieges once/if they become a regular occurrence,) and major changes to the fortress itself. Besides that, screenshot inclusion is up to the player. Can do just the bare minimum, or screens for every little thing. In any case, I recommend imgur.
• Updates should be done in an In-Character manner. Doesn't have to be some great epic, but hey. The effort is appreciated to do things IC. If you'd rather make one big update, just be sure to give us a heads up OOC about goings on in the place.

Thoughts?

[TheBiggerFish]

Aww, the crazy fun stuff was what made this fort great though!

Waaaaaaait.

Are we allowed to request non-dwarf 'dwarfings'?

[Nakéen]

It feels like a holy decree announcing the forthcoming of the Crusade.

Which means it feels good.

[Splint]

I should add that, but if you mean humans, goblins, or elves, then yes. Fair game, but highly unreliable to get what you want.
