Gentleman, please!

Clearly the essence of adventurer mode will soon be to make cities kneel before you.

Oh yeah. The whole site claim thing is going to be unbelievably awesome.

[apiks]

I can't wait for it. It's bound to be awesome. I'm in btw, just for the record.

[Scotsmen]

Yeah... WE NEED DF2014!!! WE NEED DF2014 NOOOOOOWWWWW!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Eric Blank]

We probably wouldn't enjoy it nearly as much if it was released right now. There's probably more than a few deadly face-eating super-bugs floating around the code.

[Spish]

The other DFSWs were disappointing, what with the overambitious nature, the gigantic outdated turnlists, and all the gamebreaking bugs. I don't know about you guys, but I think I'll remain cautiously optimistic.

[Mesa]

I am willing to wait for as long as it's necessary.
And I'm really starting to get a bit anxious about it, but I guess it's a good way to test one's own patience.

Being Dwarf Fortress, it HAS to collapse into a steaming pile of bugs and save corruption at some point. For me, what really makes a this succession world exciting is that the world won't be static any more.
As long as it's being run by an active forumite who keeps everything running (real-life time limit on turns and the like) and keeps the OP up-to-date, I don't think a really long turn list will be a problem.

[mastahcheese]

Yeah, at least we had a nice long time to decide how to run it, so the time in-between turns will be minimized, and if people take the turn and don't do anything, it'll be quick to move on, to keep things running as rapidly as possible.

Ideally it would run similar to Drunk Fortress, where as it nears the end of one person's turn, we shout out for people who have the time to run it, so we'll have selected a good candidate by the time of the passing.

[Orange Wizard]

Sounds fairly reasonable. Though I think we should keep some form of turn list.

[mastahcheese]

Well, yeah, the idea was to keep a turn list, and then when someone is getting ready to finish their turn, they announce that they're almost done.
At that point, people who will be available for the next turn say so, and then when the turn is actually done and ready to be transferred to the next person, whoever is the highest on the turn list of those who called out for it gets their hand at it.
And we'll probably send a PM to whoever is on the very top of the list, to let them know as a formality.

At that point, I believe that we should make a new thread, to make it easier to manage, and put a link about it in this thread (both in the OP and latest post).

Bump.

I feel like the release is dangerously close now, and I've had 3 dreams about it now - nothing ever had this much influence on me in recent memory.
First thing to do - go through the Legends, find an interesting site and then investigate as an adventurer, probably in a sneaky way.

Can't wait to visit those 17x17 sites.

[Lolfail0009]

Only three dreams?

I've had so many I've just kept sleeping for the sole purpose of playing DF2014. I've had three forts and an adventurer go to all three of them (getting murdered by the dragon that took over the third one)

[mastahcheese]

...Huh, I've yet to have any dreams on this.
