New kind of succession game - signups now open!
« on: June 04, 2014, 07:52:20 am »

Trailer - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vj-fP52R0aE

This is an idea I've been playing around with for some time. Essentially, it's a regular succession game, but in video let's play format, edited down to the best bits by yours truly and starting IMMEDIATELY after the 2014 update, which should make for plenty of hilarious shenanigens!

If you want to take part, let me know and I'll add you to the list! No major experience necessary, just be able to play the game ;)

Bear in mind though, we'll probably have to play with ASCII, considering the tilesets won't have been updated by the time we start. So any ASCII pros will probably be bumped up to the top of the list, to battle their way through ASCII hell before the tilesets are updated and the other players can take over.

In all, it should be fun, let me know what you reckon!

Below is a list of the players and the order as it stands!

That sounds like a swell idea, I'd volunteer but I don't have anything to record the game with that wouldn't destroy my framerate. I'll have to settle for a named dwarf and such.
I'll be excited to see how it turns out! Ptw.

Fair enough! No worries, we can name a dwarf after you, how'd you like to be expedition leader? ;)

Oh boy... I'll step up to the plate, knowing I'll be able to record to video myself in terror as dwarves trip over all the new DF2014 stuff.
Talk about diving head-first  ;D 

Also citing your "No major experience necessary" clause. Because safety first.

I'd sign up, but I only started playing a few weeks ago and I'm still at the extreme newbie stage.  ::)

Dude, do it, even though you may consider yourself "newbie" That's the premise of this succession, we're all learning the new features of the new update. Even if you render the save unrecoverable after your turn and you still record it. It'll be a grand learning experience for us all! Plus the ensuing hilarity of Dwarf Fortress' random !!FUN!!

Fortress mode? Right after DF2014 drops?
Eeeeeeh..


Dorf me up, I suppose. I will happily watch people trying to dethrone Boatmurdered as the greatest succession game. :P

Aw man I'd love to participate, and I would absolutely volunteer for that, aside from my inability to record- especially in 1080p. Could I get dorf'd as well, though?

Ooh I get year 6. I don't know if I've ever had a fort still be chugging along perfectly fine at this point. This should be very interesting indeed...

Added y'all (including My Urist Eternal) to the roster.

Also, I gave you a Dorf, Fen. Any preference for profession?
