So, a muppet, a plate of bacon, an inefficient murderer, and a Canadian Prime Minister walk into a bar...

You and your Canada jokes.

I laughed and I didn't get it. xD

"...and take up one seat."

[mastahcheese]

Oh, now I get it.

[Jack A T]

It was BYOR 7's scumteam.

Our BYOR scumteams (unless they have Shakerag on them) tend to feel like bad setups for such jokes.

"...and take up one seat."

I still don't get it. u_u

Is this part of the joke? D:

The Canadian Prime Minister is also the ineffective murderer, and a muppet. And holding a plate of bacon, for some reason.

COR BLIMEY picking a site is hard.


How important are these things to the DF succession game:

Tower
Temperate (it's that or Warm if we want the above, with a tiny shred of Hot access)
River access
USEFUL river access (IE not nearly 100% surrounded by steep cliffs)
Waterfall(s)
Aquifer existence/absence
Not being stonescrewed by the aquifer if there is one
Top layer of stone not being f*cking Mudstone (ugly brownass stone/brown assstone)
Not being in the same map tile as treehuggers
Savagery level

[mastahcheese]

I think that Tower, and river access is the most important.
I don't really care about the treehuggers.

Though as advice--if you pick a Waterfall (press tab to see the #s, it should be a nice drop in elevation on a 'water' tile from mapview), then we don't have to CARE about aquifers, because the waterfall already gives a space beyond the aquifer to just dig beneath it. :3

Temperate seems best if we're getting frozen ice sculptures or ice traps in winter. If we don't want to bother with probable water shortage//making an artificial clean well (two tile deep on well site), then we'd go with Warm for free running water all day, everyday.

Top layer of stone not being f*cking Mudstone (ugly brownass stone/brown assstone)

But grass grows on the top layer?

[mastahcheese]

Yeah, if you're lucky, you can find waterfalls with like 10+ z-level drops.

I found one spot that did that where two rivers intersected.

[Jim Groovester]

Eh, no need to pick a site with all things for all people.

I mean,

Sand
Clay
Flux
Iron
Volcanos
Necromancers
Freezing climate
Scorching climate
Ocean access
Dragon cave
Vampires
High vegetation
Good areas
Evil areas
High savagery
Demon Fortress
Aquifers
Were creatures
No aquifers
Lots of colored stones
Diamonds
Giant Eagles

are all nice to have, but I don't think you need to find a site that has all those features.

[Solymr]

Don't forget the waterfalls

[Toaster]

I'm well aware finding everything is impossible- it's just a matter of prioritizing.  Plus, I'm the kind of person that is willing to do extra searching to find the best possible.

And I hate mudstone.


Top two sites are one with a 13 or 14 Z-level waterfall (but poor river access in 3x3 mode and mudstone) or a nice one with two waterfalls (1 and 2 Z-level) but is completely aquifered in.  The former is temperate and the latter is warm.

Top layer of stone not being f*cking Mudstone (ugly brownass stone/brown assstone)

But grass grows on the top layer?

I meant the highest stone is ugly mudstone instead of something grey, white, or black, like good Dwarven rock should be.

[mastahcheese]

You could just mod mudstone to have a different color.

Okay, a competition for all of you mafia players: come up with the best mafia game joke you can.  You get one submission.  Go.
