That's why we have collaboration with the very experienced members of bay12.

Somewhere between 200 and 500 would be the most fun and DFhack use should require a vote first. I say allow its use, 75% must vote for it.

Also, some of us could relay our own posts to the other forum though updates would best only be linked since I'm worried that some of the pictures would be above the size that MotK allows.

DFHack should be used purely for FPS purposes and I don't mean to clean up the blood and puke and rotting forgotten beast powders and stuff. It should only be used when there is something that is completely beyond our reach and is causing serious harm to the FPS. Everything else is a feature or a challenge from the depths :moogy:

Hope you don't mind me relaying some posts Totaku

How do people normally put pictures on their posts?

I personally use

Here's an example of one of my images I use in succession games.

I forgot I had an account here. Hey you guys looking forward to working with you all.

Just a heads up, but there are going to be at least 2 or 3 people from MotK who haven't really played before, so you can expect some rough bumps (like savescumming) if we're to press forward on Lunatic. Heck, I'm not even sure if I'm going to survive my turn in a place like this.

What kind of mineral scarcity do we have? Normally 100 or so works. Also for embark, I generally suggest copper ore, cassiterite, and bismuthinite, and maybe some iron ore too. Also DFhack should be acceptable, say, if you have to plug a whole in the ocean floor through which the ocean is draining into an aquifer, and is causing significant damage to your FPS.

I think I'll go ahead and point out that the mineral scarcity is set at 1000. Why? It's not too little, it's not too much, and it requires a bit of exploration mining to locate them. And overall, I haven't really complaned about it being at 1000. It's really that bad.

As for DF hack? Well like Syanas said. FPS purposes only!  We know we'll encounter them, It's going to happen, that's kind of the only time I'll permit DF hack be used is to help get the FPS up if it get dramatically slow....

Don't mind at all, and how you posted them is correct for here. As for MotK, depending on what site you use. (Imageshack is a trusted one for MotK since it shrinks images down to thumbnails) You may have find a site that posts thumbnails or if worse comes to worse. Link them! MotK has require that the pictures remain below a certain size for 56k people. (because yes, they still exsist even today)

Also got two worlds to meet requirements... Works on some more.... Also heading to work in an hour from now so I won't be back to work on genning the worlds till after midnight.

The example was just to show CaptainArchMage how its done. It was from a Corrosion succession game by IT000 where I basically killed almost everyone trying to complete my order to capture some zombies and then have them be released in the next person's turn. Now that I think about it, we could do something similar to orders though we might have enough FUN as it is.

Sorry when I asked how its done, I meant which website do you normally put your photos on?

I normally use Skydrive mostly because it's what I'm used to.

Greetings from Gensokyo! I am known as NekoRex on MotK, but I lurk on Bay12 a decent amount, so I'll be lurking from both ends as this progresses!

I've signed up on MotK, and I can't wait to see how this goes! I'm very excited to see how the best of Bay12 can cooperate with the touhous over at Maidens. I'm no expert at Dwarf Fortress, but I've been playing it since last year, so hopefully I can learn a thing or two in the process!

Suika me to whatever you deem the most FUN! I guess, like a soldier.

[Mrhappyface]

Why watermelon?

[Totaku]

Why watermelon?

Because Watermelons are pretty damn dwarfy when they get down to their roots. *rimshot*

Anyways, back from work and added all the recent people who applied. Current vote count for regions:

Lunatic: 5

Hard: 3

I'm beginning to think I'm going to need to generate some regions just in case hard gets the upset vote. But we shall see how that goes. I'll continue generating the worlds till I get the ones that meet all the specifications for both Hard and Lunatic.

For those that already signed up maybe it might be a good idea to ask this one right now to help pass the time while I continue to generate the world:

What do you think would be a good name for a Suika Fortress?
What do you think will also be a good name for group?

Current Fort name suggestions: Facehugged (Captainarchmage)

I will make a section in the second post regarding fort names so to keep things from being cluttered...

[highzealot]

Fort Name: Crossedhorns

Group Name: The Dweller of Drinking

[Grimlocke]

Fort: Sludgefeast!

Group: The Horn-Horn

[Totaku]

Ok the good news is I got the land I needed generated. The bad part is, most of them are flat as a board (or maybe that's a good thing for some of you.

I'm going to generated some more land to see if I can get some terrifying land with Elevation in it and tower. (should be possible) So I'm going to allow at least till sometime tomorrow before I start posting up the embark areas we will pick from that will consist of whatever land type we are seeking.

Also note that I usually like setting up 5x5 embark zones. But that's up for debate. Anyways, keep coming up with names and we can vote upon them later on.

Edit: FINALLY, got a nice location with high elevations for us to pick from.

Edit 2: Got another land with decent elevations..... gunning for one more if possible...

[CaptainArchmage]

I'm OK with 5x5 locations, although I'd suggest something like a 3x8 or 8x3 instead. I've noticed long embarks seem to save FPS.

Suggested Group Name: The Star-King of Drunks

[Grimlocke]

5x5 or 6x4 seems ok, 8x3 is a bit too streched. Might as well just make it smaller at that point.

[Totaku]

I'll be fair on this, I prefer what grimelock said here, setting the land to 3x8 or 8x3 is kind of a mess and feels unatural. Plus it wouldn't give much time for the Suikas to react if the enemy came in from the sides. So yeah I much preffer 5x5 embarks especially since this is LUNATIC difficulty were playing here....

Anyways, I'm here to announce that I have 6 locations picked out already and I will post them up tomorrow for voting. They will all range from 80 -100% Evil and all contain terrifying regions and towers in range meaning MAXIMUM fun will be had in one form or another.

These will be posted sometime in before 10 AM Central time hopefully.

So this is a good oprotunity to remind you once more that I'm giving you guys a little more time to come up with names for the fort and groups.

Because what will happen as of tomorrow will be that we will vote on all 3 of these things.

The embark area, the fortress name, and the group name

Once the decision is reached, we will move on to supplies and skills, that each of our suikas will have. Course those who already decided on some position will have to keep their position as such (they can add more to them if needed) For example, since I want to be a mason, I will be setting my Suika to have mason skills for embark. But I'll leave room for other things to decide on before embarking.

Anyways for now I'll give you guys a few more hours to think up some stuff before I post the next step and move on...

also in the mean time have some responds from the MotK team that have jumped in to join:

Spectator signup here. LUNATIC OR BUST

Interested to see how this turns about.

I'm willing to watch for now and become the dwarfiest suika suikaest dwarf suika there ever suikadwarfed, and by that I mean lets Axe it up a little

I'd like to sign up as a spectator.  I only have a general familiarity with DF, and 1 semi-successful fort under my belt.  I will like to be entertained though.
