So I'm thinking; turn times. Do they have to be as long as they were in typical 34.11 succession game? (around 7 days)

We always gave such a long time before, because the turns that ended were final. I mean there was no picking up a retired fort after a turn, barring reclaiming which scattered everything. And we couldn't un-retire our adventurers after a certain number because of a bug. Basically these things needed to be given a whole week because when someone got the save whatever they started needed to be finished that turn.

But that shouldn't be the case anymore, right? You should be able to start a fort, retire it, hand off the save, get it back and un-retire it to work on  it some more. (barring something unfortunate happening to the fort between turns, but hey, losing is !!FUN!!!) Same thing with an adventurer now.

So, wouldn't it make sense with the volume of players for this to have shorter save deadlines and turn around times? Like, instead of a week, how about we get 2 days with it? That's three and a half happy players a week than normal.

There may have been a decision about shorter turn lengths.  I recall that a version of "first come first served" was agreed upon once a save is uploaded.

[Spish]

^ Nay, I believe they are still settled on following the turnlist, for now.

I do think that a first-come first-serve style would be well-suited to allowing participants to pause their fortresses and come back to finish them within a few turns; as opposed to having the paused fortress rot forever in development hell, as the owner waits for the turnlist to slowly cycle through every other player.

[SilverDragon]

I agree with Spish. A first come first serve style would be more fair to players.

[hairypotatoes]

I'm still in

[mastahcheese]

I thought we already agreed on how the turns worked like, 3 times now? It's a combination of first-come-first-serve that's still fair to those higher on the list.

As for in-ness, if I can get internet back by then, then I'll be here to kick this off, but if not, then you guys know what to do.

[Glloyd]

I've been in since the start, I'm not dropping out now

[Inarius]

I'm not dropping, but  i'd like some time to test the game before making a succession story !

[Insanity X]

i'm still down for my turn, haven't posted in this thread because the update was taking some time

[NAV]

[Mesa]

I'll DIE sooner than not being able to participate in this thing!
Also bump.

Can you hear that music?
It's the sound of your free time during the summer running away from DF2014!

[Elephant Parade]

I'll be in, unless it starts before the sixth.

[Mesa]

NEXT WEEK, FOLKS!
NEXT WEEK!

...Of course I doubt we're actually going to start this the very moment DF2014 drops, but it's definitely worth to bring this topic up now that we know the release is so close it would be out today if not for random crashes.

[Lolfail0009]

So we have DF2014 next week... My country will get an international premiere of Lazer Team...

Is it, like, Christmas?
