More like the dwarven hive mind.

Do you reeeally want to engage in some kind of gestalt consciousness with the people of this forum though?
To get so intimate with their minds? Such a terrible place to be.

You'd see some things, man, and some stuff.
Squicky.

This starts tantrum spirals. When this exists, then you can grab your popcorn. ;)

I await that moment with bated breath.
You know what they say, too many blind mice which have been spared the rod spoil the delicious brothy Fortress of cards.

Isn't that kind of what the whole idea of the Ultimate Fortress in this thread is, though? :P

I don’t know about the whole idea, but I’d say that at the very least it’s likely to happen.

Something is certainly going to get into the realms of super-density verging on an implosion and cause a black hole that will render time and space asunder, but I haven’t yet worked out whether or not it will be awesomeness... or ego.

Just curious, when this is up and running will other people have access to the skype? Because I would totally enjoy talking to other crazy people if I don't get in :)

I might do a teamspeak server where the overseers are the only ones with talk power - everyone else could listen and text chat, and could get temp talk perms if they had a good question.

And to the people who are the runner-ups, there will be more than one attempt. :).

I'll declare an end to the voting when people stop voting.

Perhaps give talk power to the runners up but the decision making power solely to the elected overseers? (I.E. the runners up are allowed to comment and give little snippets of advice, but don't participate in group votes or anything)

And if we're doing dwarf reservations I'll take whichever Urist ends up as the Militia Commander

I don't know - having seven overseers on the same channel is already going to be rather crowded. Everyone should be allowed participate via text chat, though. And as Ace said, there will be more than one attempt at this, so runners up shouldn't feel excluded, hopefully.

Huh, 7 doesn't seem like much to me, but then again I played WoW for three years so I'm used to raid teams with ten or twenty people chattering away battle info and tuning out the unimportant stuff. Not that this is similar.

But yeah, it would be cool to have at least a dwarf for the runner ups in the main attempt.

This is a little more dwarfy.  Everything is relevant.  "Elephants!"  "Burning Elves!"  "We're low on booze!"  "There's no silk for this mood oh god oh shit silk!"  "There's a GCS I want to capture."  "The elves have stopped burning."  "Why did you kill the GCS?"  "BTW zombie elves."

This.

On a different note, what sort of environment will this monstrosity be taking place in, or will the overseers decide that when we get this show on the road
