Voting has ended!What happens when you take seven Dwarf Fortress elites, give them a pick, some booze, a wagon, and say "Go!"? We'll soon find out.
The Summary:It's pretty simple. Make do with a default 'Play now' embark. You can watch the live stream or the recorded version, as seven players discuss and build a marvel of dwarven ingenuity together. It's the All-Stars game of DF. This is not a succession fort. This is a collaboration fort. We all work together at once.
The Details:-
General: The players would all collaborate using voice communication software, while one carries out the commands. If the executor has to leave, another player can be designated as the designator. Build what we feel is a testament to DF. I'm gonna record this, and edit down to the power user's letsplay of sorts, so people can get a feel for how the game is played all the way through.
-
Players: Players nominate themselves, and then a general vote is taken. There are a few players who, for the most part, should be in this, and don't need a vote. If anybody challenges the insta-selections, then I'm glad to work with you. No hesitation needed. I also might add those to the standard voting pool if the competition heats up.
Roster:
- acetech09
- Girlinhat
- Loud Whispers
- DS
- weird
- Lovecraft
- Talvieno
-
Collaboration: A multiplayer DF server would be set up on the fastest computer we would find. It would be live streaming its display, as well as recording the feed for later upload.
-
Hosting: I volunteer, as I already have a server with server-class internet and a DF over clocking setup ready - if anybody feels they have a kickass setup, I'm open to using yours.
Nomination:Looking for the best of the best! The greatest of the great! The ones that care the least when a oiled kitten is lit on fire and slid across the hallway! Nominations and voting are going into effect! To nominate yourself, just reply with that intention as well as some information to convince people to vote for you. You don't have to be able to record/stream. That is handled by the server. The scheduling will be rather informal - you don't have to be able to follow a strict deadline - if you can't make it to any scheduled time, no rush. Not everybody has to be there at once.
Please discuss. Looking for some more goals to complete and any general ideas.
I will also take a moment to at Whispers, for he is now not the only one with the mysterious shifting avatars 'round here.
