I am ashamed to call this an internet.

If it is really going to be only 7 players, however, we'd need to reach a consensus on which players would they be. Girlinhat is an obvious choice, but that still leaves 6.

EDIT: Decided to do the speed test out of curiosity.

Too bad physical distance to others would probably slow things down.

I have a windows 95 running 32mb ram using dial-up.

Jealous?

[acetech09]

Ok. Using latest ideas I came up with a 2-stage system. Read OP again.

If you think that's bad try living in the middle of bumfuck nowhere.

I am willing to watch, moderate, and admin the server. (I can do that remotely, if dfterm is set up right.)

I have always been the kind that likes to watch the fireworks more than to set them off. Unless you need a boring player that is good at reigning in chaos and setting people down, I shouldn't be a player.


I will test my connection when I get home in a few hours.

This was posted in the  "If The forum became a fort" thread, and bares reposting here.

basically, to truly have an ULTIMATE!! fort it needs to be as Dwarf as possible, so I propose the following:

Whatever map is picked should have at the very least:
*Volcano!
*50 to 60 zLevel mountain
*River, not just a nampy pamby stream, but a river with CARP and SPONGES

Additional points should be awarded if such a site can be found with:
*Freezing weather in winter.
*Evil or Sinister biome
*A "Curious Underground Structure"

KodKod, you should specifically retry that test with a US Server.  Perhaps Atlanta or Houston would be a good choice.

Acetech, let's be honest here.  We can do this multiple times.  First time, glorious time, we'll make a real fort.  No, not a fort.  Seven players having a simultaneous strange mood and making a masterful fortress.  We demand obsidian, steel, and blood.

We can always host a pvp game, that's not a new idea.  There's nothing saying that we need to host only one attempt.  We can dedicate one towards an artifact fortress, and another towards traditional community aggression.

Pfft, to be as dwarfy as possible it needs to be embarked onto an elven retreat, and thusly taken over.

Part of the fun is hosting a destructive pvp game in a stunning artifact fortress we just built. You gotta admit - that'd be cool.

[Girlinhat]

It can devolve once it's done being amazing, but dwarves are terrible at long-term planning.  Let's just get our 7 together and strike the earth.  One step at a time.

YES! This.

Where to embark?
I like the volcano idea... not so sure about the river... Or maybe it should be done on just the basic map, to show what can be accomplished with just the normal embark?

Finally,

I live in BFE. I am lucky to even GET DSL.

It will be 4 hrs or so before I can speed test. I am at work at the moment.
