Dwarf Fortress (Letters Mode)
« on: August 30, 2013, 04:26:17 pm »

Heads Up! I've never been good at starting forum games nor have i been good at keeping them together so if this game dies off randomly i'm very sorry.


To put it in simple terms, Dwarf Fortress in a Forum Game is.. Dwarf Fortress. How the game will go is divided into 2 types.

Overwatcher (Overseer/Leader/Your God)
How you play as "God"

You are in control of what the dwarves do you must attempt to keep the dwarves alive and happy for as long as possible while trying to get as many points as possible!

You may assign dwarves to do certain things and not to do other things.
Example:
Dwarf 1 will no longer mine, Instead he will engrave stones!
Example 2:
Dwarf 1 will go mine some stone!

How to give commands:
Red means the command is FORCED (No consent) Unless your insane/unable/dead you MUST do this. (Of course if you dislike the command you can be less happy or possibly go insane or what not)

Green means it is in your Queue AKA You do not HAVE to do this but it is recommended you do.

Blue is a REQUEST you do something. You do not have to do it. But you can if you want.

The different between green and blue is that doing a green command will NEVER give you happiness it can only drop your happiness or keep your happiness where it is.
 
Blue CAN improve your happiness by X Points (Dependant on how well your BIO pairs up with the command)

Red of course can make you very UNHAPPY causing you to go insane or worse get killed!

Dwarfs:
Every post means you take 1 food and 1 drink! So dont post like a maniac! (Unless of course.. Your evil like that)

You must follow what your god tells you to do (If its red) And try to co-operate with him/her as much as possible while not going mad!

You INFACT have a bio to fill out!

Name: (Cannot be nicknamed "Lord XX or King XX or the such without "God" Agreeing to it.
Age: (Need i say more?)
Likes:

Dislikes:

Personallity:(Effects response's to commands)

Stats:
You only have 20 points to bump your stats with!
Strength: 5
Agility: 5
Toughness: 5 (Affects HP)
Endurance: 5 (Affects how many actions you can do Every 5 points = 1 extra action)
Focus: 5 (How likely you are to get distracted/Archery related)
Willpower: 5
Memory: 5
Spatial Sense: 5
Kinesthetic Sense:5
Social Awareness: 5

Body Status: (Injuries go here!)


Happiness: 100 (200 being the highest and 0 being lowest. Anything below 0 counts as insane!)

Thoughts: (Suggestions to the overseer go here!)

Skills: In general you have 10 points to shove into skills. Just rip the skills from dwarf fortress's game skills cause i cant remember all of the skills ATM.

Equipment: Any item is worth 5 Points you begin with 20 Points. No tools may exceed copper material. (Or was it bronze ingame?)





In General:
Dont troll.
Dont Hate
Please suggest stuff
Please hate (Constructivly. Not just insulting plainly)
Please Play (Or dont, Your choice)
Your game begins with 20 Meat foods 60 Drinks (Any kind that you generally start with)
Iron Anvil x1
Wheelbarrow x1
And well yea.

Also i have NOT had DF for TOO long so i may not have everything known if i screw up at some point (Probably did above) Then please tell me and i will be sure to try and fix it!.

Also: First to post gets overseer/god (If they want it)

Now enjoy my Forum..Ish.. Game!

Oh look, I have a steam account.
Might as well chalk it up to Pathos.
As this point we might as well invoke interpretive dance and call it a day.
