Haha, I haven't used Dwarf Therapist since 31.25. While I was waiting on it, I got seduced by the awesomeness of flying by the seat of my pants. Plus, it helps with remembering more about your dwarves, thus immersing you a bit more in everything going on.
@LW and KodKod - thank you.
Thank you very much.
We've never actually seen a Toady fort though. For all we know, he's producing adamantine spires and solid steel walls that menace with spikes of elf bone and dwarven sweat.
I can't place it exactly, but I recall hearing on one of the DF Talks that Toady rarely (if at all) plays DF for fun, and primarily makes forts for bugtesting purposes - but that the Army arc is what would actually make him want to play recreationally.
An all-star fort is a fascinating concept, but yeah, getting 7 particularly well-known players from around the world on board with a co-op fortress is a scheduling nightmare. It would be easier to do a quick turn (one season) community fort with a handful of people for a similar effect, as was suggested earlier in this thread.
Also, I nominate myself.
That's where I heard it - the DF talks. I knew I'd heard it somewhere.
You have my vote. Weatherwires
more than earns you a position, I think. Excellent story. You, sir, are definitely a DF elite, by my standards.
I doubt anyone will vote for me, but I'll gladly take a stab at it. I hereby nominate myself.
I vote for you. Fuckberries, with the evident lack of confidence around here you can have that for going against the grain. I hate the grain.
This should be interesting if it ever gets off the ground though, I can just imagine seven voices screaming at each other in disagreement and suddenly silenced, whilst certain larger-than-life figures end up pretty much taking charge of the whole project, pushing everyone else’s opinions to the side. And the resentment will brew and brew until... flashpoint! Somebody snaps, tempers are flared, voices are raised... chaos abounds!
I have to make sure that I’m watching when that happens, Armok damn I love animosity; it's the most glorious thing in the world. I couldn't do it myself; I'd explode on people just for not having colour-matched furniture. What’s that, you want to know if using Microcline in the dining room is acceptable? Well how about I kill you in your sleep, is that acceptable?
1. Thank you again.
2. I have a feeling even those playing will want to see this all again. It'll be chaotic, and nobody will be quite sure what everybody else is doing (unless we're on some sort of group-voicechat program such as Skype, which I would highly suggest being done if someone hasn't already).
3. I wouldn't be a good choice as a companion for you after all.
I don't really care what color my chairs are.
And finally... I've been tripleninja'd.

Forgot to respond to this. Hopefully we wouldn't have to resort to a one-season thing, but if that's what it takes to get the best of the best in here, I'd settle for it. Not all happily, though.
