Sry for all the double-posting, but would be messy editing one post as I keep reading more and more.

Unfair against everyone else >:£

I'll put you back in the normal running if there's actual competition for the spots - dunno if there will be.

To everything kod said: You don't have to be present at all times we're streaming, and we'll probably only run the fort when enough of us are online. I'm planning on recording it, editing it to the best choicy bits, and upload that to youtube :D

Well I wish you the best, I'm just worried because it seems like a hell of a daunting undertaking on everybody's parts.

I can record the dfterm session.... that shouldn't be any trouble. I have an empty 160gb sata drive sitting round doing shit all in that thing I kick around and call a computer.  leavng a fullscreen terminal window going with the recorder on shouldn't be too hard, especially since I can reduce the color count of the video stream without any penalties.

Maybe this time whoever hosts it won't have everyone lose interest.

I was planning on hosting it, that part's been in the OP. You'd need tons more than 160gb if we're gonna go through with this thing... I have a setup that should work - Internet is 20/15, a i5 running only 2 of its cores, but overclocked to give max DF performance. We're gonna need it. Wouldn't hurt to have a backup though just in case mine melts.

And after all, this isn't a fancy popular live stream megastar challenge thing. This is just a gathering of top-rank players building something awesome, as a tribute to DF and Armok. Livestreaming it is an afterthought, and recording will be condensed into somewhat of a master's tutorial and letsplay. This is supposed to be fun, not a complicated event.

If we're really so sadly lacking large numbers of people, then I'd offer my services as one of the seven, if anyone would vote for me. Unfortunately, I'm not quite a DF elite, I don't think. lol

I wonder if we could get Sphalerite or Quietust.

Knowing Belgium, everyone will vote for themselves out of mistrust for anyone else, and some kind of weird direct democracy coalition will need to be formed from 11 million or so individuals.

I got fed up with my fortress, so I decided to kill everyone (abandon is for elves) with a cave-in.

OK, cave-ins were always pretty deadly, but with the new falling object damage they are downright brutal.  As far as I can make out from the logs, many people were killed by the flying bodies of other victims.  One baby's corpse ricocheted off three other people, two walls and the floor.

We need like, Sphalerite, NW_Kohaku, Quietust, etc.  Anyone who's done a good science thread should be eligible.

I haven't seen them around for a while, actually. Would be awesome if we can get all of above into a single fort. Also we can look for a few good megabuilders. Nothing mechanically or sciency fancy, but like that Megadorf™. Also we should try to get Aussie - he's good.

Lol, I nominate toady one.

Completely off topic, but I am rather curious now to see how Toady attempts to run a good fort.
