I've added joost66 to the turn list.

Any news yet Hostergaard and Trollfursock?

[☼!!Troll Fur Sock!!☼]

Lost my internet connection for 2 days, besides that, I'm really busy with RL now. But hey, if I won't manage to do anything epic in time, I still can just leave a blood-soaked sock in the museum, right?

I'm playing as Chuck Norris peasant. It's more fun that it should be.

I was just looking at the maxage tag the other day and it struck me that if we removed it from the raws post-worldgen, (or just changed it to some huge number like 10,000) for humans and other mortal races, they'd effectively continue to be present for adventurers to encounter instead of dying suddenly of old age as soon as they're seen.  This would help keep the world fresh and filled with people except for the ones specifically killed during adventurer's visits.

Damn them boogeymen. I got ambushed by them, broken spine here, severed hand there, then... Over-exertion kicks in. Why, toady, why, I almost slaughtered them all...

So I guess I will build a fort, why not. How much time do I have left?

[Bralbaard]

Until sunday.

My condolences on your death..bogeyman are a pain for peasant adventurers..
 I'm looking forward to the story..

[☼!!Troll Fur Sock!!☼]

May I request additional time? DF runs very slowly for me, y'know, 700 MB ram...

[Bralbaard]

I think you can use dfhack, or raws editing to make your dwarves faster/incredibly fast, make sure everything is changed back when you submit your turn.

I'd like to stick to the deadlines for as much as possible, we have a long list of players waiting for a turn.You can also post your story after you submit your save. That would save you some extra time. Try to post a save game at the end of your turn,  the next player might show up late, and you may be able to post updates.

[Pie Maker]

Indeed, using the command "fastdwarf 1 1" on dfhack will allow you to build your fortress in no time, regardless of FPS.

[☼!!Troll Fur Sock!!☼]

Didn't manage to do it in time, sorry. So... I will upload the save as soon as I find out how to retire my fort. Why retire? Because I hope one day I will be able to continue it. One day. Looking at the current list of players, that "one day" will be winter or later.

SAVE: *sooner*
EDIT: Save is being uploaded right nao. Have patience.

There's a guide on retiring your fortress here: http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=81738.0

I simplified those instructions and they work, producing an adventurer as a byproduct.

DFHACK v3: Fortress into town
1) "lair"
2) Loo"k" at an individual ---> 'dfusion' --> 'adventurer tools' --> 'change adventurer'
3) "mode set" --> '1'
4) 'Esc' --> 'Retire as a peasant/give in to starvation'

"---" = type this into dfhack console
'---' = choose this option/press this button

I usually choose the dwarf with the best back-story including familial relations, then retire them at their home to provide a little more interest in the location.

[☼!!Troll Fur Sock!!☼]

Argh. Just argh. I'm never joining any succesion game. This is third one where my savefile gets destroyed by unknown forces just in the end.
Whatever, skip my turn... Sorry...

[Bralbaard]

Are you sure it's completely broken? We've had a previous case where replacing the raws with those of an older version fixed things.. I'd hate to lose all progress

[Lurker Z]

Put me up for a turn, please.

[Bralbaard]

Allright, that makes it Mrwillsauces turn.

MrWillsauce has a surviving character from his last round, now as discussed before we have this bug were characters can't be unretired the normal way; the game will crash during adventurer selection. A new character will need to be started, and using dfhack, control can be transferred from the new character to the old character. For that to work, the new character will have to visit the old one.
For bodyswapping you have to look at, and select your old adventurer; then go to dfusion, then "adventurer tools", then "change adventurer". (the exact key combinations seem to differ between versions of dfhack)

Luckily we know where Mrwillsauce lives:

Now Eric Blank already moved out of the house, he didn't mention how MrWillsauce was doing when he moved out, I guess we will find out.
Mrwillsauce companion, Adil Wireskin, is in the main adventurer hideout, together with all the undead, necromancers husks and vampires:

Here's a list of adventurers in the house; hope I didn't miss anyone:
Stasbo humorbury the Tepid Blazes (Sappho) -mortal, swordsman
Nil Swifttoast the Colorless Complexity (Pie Maker) -Eerie mist thrall, necromancer
Thel Indigozephyrs the greatest wad of oil (Atomic Chicken) vampire, vampire hunter.
Kaslun Wadsomber the Whirling Anguish Kromgar, necromancer, nasty puss syndrome.
Adil Wireskin the suffering of Burning a companion of MrWillsauce. mortal
'explorer' (Logic?) couldn't talk to him, name unknown, wears dragon nail jewelry, and a copper whip. Probably logic legendfinder.
Other notable characters:
Quemer Dwellscribes; a fifty-eight year old child.
Ewas jawnedpasses; a fifty-six year old child.
a goblin pikeman
a dwarven axeman
8 human soldiers, different weapon skills (likely companions of our adventurers)
5-10 innocent civilians

We've had quite a few save games that were lost to crashes lately, it might be wise to make some backups of your save games after you've made a bit of progress, not for save-scumming, but because the world seems to become a bit unstable.

I'll update the turn list.
