Yes!

No!

I am small and neutral, like Switzerland

[peregarrett]

Dorf me as usual, Peregar 3rd (or which one? anyway, just Peregar then), Captain. Skills whatever, but choose that one who likes dwarven rum.

Kamin, considering how much you are picky from site selection, perhaps it would be best if you chose the site for the new fort if we go that route.

I am drunk tonight (relationship issues, otherwise I wouldn't be drinking on Monday night), but my FPS for the current fort is running at 3-4.  Also, you better check your Mafia game, htere's a very good chance you'll get lynched.

Tell me if this is stupid.. (and it might just be) but I just got DFTerm up and working, if you don't know what it is or does, link:

Basically a DF instance is ran on a server/computer, and everyone else can use a telnet client to log in and CONTROL/WATCH the game. At the same time. It's pretty amazing. I wonder what kind of possibilities lie with this technology... Or it would just ruin the whole story-telling-back stuff and make it less entertaining.

Sorry, I'm just really excited about this haha.

I suppose I will update the poll and decide where to go from here, unless someone gets drunk and decides for us and just plays. Obviously, 3-4 FPS is completely unplayable; it'd be fucking hell to try and actually squeeze out even a day at that rate.

I am sorry to hear about your relationship issues, Sir Jervill. They are... Well, probably the worst thing pretty much evar. I hope everything works out. In fact, I'm sure it all will.

Thanks for the update on the Mafia, by the way. If I get lynched, town loses. I tried my best to state my case just a bit earlier, but we'll see just how discriminating my fellow town members are.

That's actually not stupid at all! I must admit that I have no idea what to do with it, but if other drunkards were to get something going on there, I certainly wouldn't be opposed!

Alright, now let's see where we're going from here...

It's too bad that you can't have more than one input at the same time. That would be glorious.

I know, that would be awesome! But I still think there is potential for a lot of fun with a set up like this!

[Siquo]

Well, it wouldn't really work for the story-telling. In my turn, I was pausing the game to type what is going on a lot, and to make screenshots etc.

However, it might make stuff maybe even more chaotic, and I can definitely see the merit of drunk DFTerming. Perhaps in a new thread/world?

Yea that's the only way it would work, it is definitely a different style of chaotic gameplay! (I like this one the way it is too..)

DFTerm is fascinating concept, but it doesn't look like it supports the current version.

I'm for a new site, either picked by Kamin or by the Next Drunk.
Drunken Site Assessment could be entertaining, or it could lead to less Fun, it's hard to say.
A volcano is mandatory of course, and a zombifying zone is probably best avoided.

I'm running a server right now with 0.34.11. You just need to update the config with new checksums for the new version. I haven't had anything break as of yet.

[Bobnova]

Nice!
That would actually allow us to continue the current fort.
My box can run it at 16-19FPS.
If I spend some quality time with a backup rig and make it into a server I can probably get 25 out of it. 2600k at ~5GHz and 2200MHz 7-10-7-1t ram works wonders.

I don't have an issue with a new fort, either.


EDIT:
How bout a volcano in the tundra?

[Kamin]

How bout a volcano in the tundra?

All of the votes seemed to point to exactly that, so I have genned a new world with those embark possibilities since the old one had 0 such sites. I have added new embark maps to the OP as well as a poll for site voting!

Good news! As of now, a TV Tropes link leads TO the Drunk Fortress Tropes page! Check Epic Fail.

People always get angry at me when I post TV Tropes links...and Epic Rail's not a hard trope to find. Also I'm on my tablet at the moment, nd it doesn't copy-paste well. Just head to the Drunk Fortress TV Tropes page, look at the tropes, find Epic Fail, click on it, head to the Dwarf Fortress section of the Video Games folder, nd read the final bit!
