I have a working computer again! Sign me up for another turn. New or old world, doesn't really matter.

[Bralbaard]

I will be away for the next week and will update the turn list once I return,
If I understand correctly the turn list for the current game (minus unresponsive people) is:

deepfreeze78 (playing now)
timeless bob
NAV

The above may be incorrect, feel free to correct it, if that's the case, and feel free to pass the save on in my absence.

[Timeless Bob]

Will do.  Thanks for the heads up, Braalbard.

Ralthar Galkaopoc was what some people would call the worst human being in existence. He had no skills to speak of, was weak and slow beyond belief, and had the social skills of a rock. To call him the worst human being in existence would actually be a compliment. We recently found his diary, and now we will share it with you.

The Diary of Ralthar "Deepfreeze" Galkaopoc

Morning of 24th of Limestone, 1188
I'm terrible at everything. I have no friends. My own parents abandoned me. I'm weak. I'm useless. But I'm going to change that. Today I will leave my home hamlet of Homesinches, and I will become the greatest adventurer of all time. I will fill the museum that I've adored since my birth with treasures of my heroic actions. This is my chance to become more than Ralthar the Weak. Goodbye, Homesinches. Goodbye, Kanil.

That, alas, was the only entry. We found this diary at the bottom of a river in the Hills of Murdering, with Ralthar the Weak's body. It's been an accepted story that Ralthar drowned in the river, probably while trying to learn how to swim.

[deepfreeze78]

Well, that ended quickly. Lesson learned- You need SOME skills/attributes.

[TheFlame52]

That's the funniest thing I've seen all week.

[Timeless Bob]

I think that's the first time I've ever heard of an adventurer dying of old age while he was being played!  Kudos on getting a "first" in the Museum game.  Looking forward to seeing what kind of fortress you decide to build.

[deepfreeze78]

Oh no that wasn't me that died of old age, that was someone else in the town. I drowned in the first river while trying to train swimming.

I gotta say though, that would've been hilarious if I had.

Also, I'm not making a fortress. My forts never turn out well, and I've got the creativity of a rock Ralthar.

[Timeless Bob]

Ah Ok.  Then I guess I'll grab the save when you post it and go.

Oh, wow, I looked at the turn list and I'm coming up soon. That means I'll be one of the founding adventurers for the new Museum. This intrigues me.

On a similar note, what mods are we using, if any? I recommend a simple one that lets one play as all races in adventure mode.

The bug report has been posted:

http://www.bay12games.com/dwarves/mantisbt/view.php?id=6310

Please feel free to post further information to the bug report. I think it would be very useful if we had a link to the 2012 succession world save that has the same problem, I however can't find it.

Downloading turn 30 and making and retiring another adventurer (without interacting with any of the other adventurers) results in the bug recurring again.

Didn't notice this earlier, but that didn't work for me in an earlier attempt:

I don't think we can scroll to the existing adventurers. Also, its not strictly caused by the number of adventurers on the list. I took one of the last working saves and started and retired five or six adventurers in that save, it did not trigger the bug.
.

Looking through the mists of time, I recalled a bug report that Bralbaard submitted a while ago, hoping the adventurer selection crash bug that causes us to have to find our old adventurers and bodyswap to them had been fixed for 0.40.

Looks like nothing has happened to that bug since though

The only followup was to post the save at http://dffd.wimbli.com/ which was not possible at the time due to the file size being to big for the site, IIRC.

IIRC, Today said that for the new release he didn't really purposely fix old bugs, so the only way to know if it's fixed is through practice.
