Well, if I were to do the turn, I would probably have them work on real-time scales, rather than in-game years, due solely to the fact that while a year in fort mode is possible in less than 24 hours of real time, trying that in adventure mode would take a massively longer time-frame, and since some people would undoubtably want some adventure time(no pun intended), it would probably work best by limiting turns to real-time spans, I'd say greater than 24 hours, but less than a week.

Rules could always change, however, we still have months to go.

I agree, real-time turns sound more reasonable to me.

Exactly: and Another thing is: one of the adventurers might peirce into the fortress and kill everybody.

I think we should have a rule against that.

We shouldn't mess to much with the creations of others without their permission, but where is the fun if we don't interact with each other?
We need challenges and competitions maybe even some sort of factions. If everyone just abandons the last fort and starts a new one instead of implementing the others work into his own atleast somehow this is going to be boring.

and if one needs help, you could ferry over supplies as an adventurer with demi-god level fighting power to save them from an incoming siege.

We could create whole squads of completely overpowered adventurers and transfer them from one fortress to the other if requested. The other adventurers could join you as companions so you can raid those new elven villages and slaughter everything in your path together. Somebody could embark with tons of building material only to build something like a tavern were we store our greatest treasure. We can massproduce necromancers, lure all the animated monsters to the same site and drop them there as throphies. If we are willing there are thousands of possibilities.

Not sure if I might be able to partecipate, but looking forward to it.
But I also would like Talvieno as the World Bard.

I'd be interested, if only to see how much FUN I add to the world. :)

I'd like to be a part of this. Purely as a hypothetical, of course, what happens if someone pumps the magma sea up to the surface? Would that affect neighboring forts with a seepage of molten rock?

Generally, when one is conducting an experiment, it is worth noting that the observers went insane, killed each other, and then rose from the dead.
It's like DF inhaled a peanut.

Yes, yes it would. It's best not to, though, because Project: Fuck The World [version DF2013] sounds like a massive waste of resources and FPS, and will make everything very ‼FUN‼ for everyone else. Disregard this. I forgot I was on Bay12.

<section break!>

I'll join or participate or post occasionally or make semi-unrelated lame jokes or whatever. This sounds like it will be very cool.

Hard science is like a sword, and soft science is like fear. You can use both to equally powerful results, but even if your opponent disbelieve your stabs, they will still die.

It's funny how close this idea actually gets to becoming a real multiplayer game.

When DF was in the early stages of development, I thought for sure it would be impossible to have any kind of multiplayer experience aside from swapping saves around.

Then lo and behold, we have the game able to allow us to construct independent forts and keep them running while they're not being actively played.

Seems like such a small step to take this to the next level of a devoted world server where players log in to their forts.

While it won't happen, the realities of what are coming are still such an amazing development in the game's features.

Somewhat offtopic: Dueling with adventurers would be fun.
