You come after me. There won't be anything left to play.

Then I'll have to read.
And if the fort survives after you, don't worry, no fort can resist my noobness for too long.
If it does then the werelemurs finish it off. _{Every FUCKING time...}

Considering the new name of the thread, I was honestly expecting something along the lines of the current player flooding the whole fortress with lava/magma in order to cleanse it of life, death and the awful messes that fortresses tend to become.

Please, don't do that. I want my turn.

Screw that, you're getting soap and you're going to like it!

But can you make lava soap? Cleans and burns away the nasty infections.

I NEVER thought of that!   Sounds amazing!
Don't think it'll work though...

Complete your turn within one week.

It's almost been a month. . .

for the sake of our waning interest, slap it out tonight?

[Drokles]

Yea, honestly, this is taking too long, there are lots of other players who have been waiting for their turn for a long time now. This is why I offered to complete your turn for you. So, please, finish soon or just pass along the save.
I wish you could just finish it though, because I actually like the way your turn is going.

I know I've been taking really long here, guys. I've been overall very busy and I've been putting a whole lot of my play time writing the reports. Like holy cow, the writing takes up somewhere around 40-50% of the time I spend on Doomforests. I'ts been a slightly uneventful year, but with all of the stuff I find good to write down, it takes time, and as I've said I've been busy with other stuff. On top of that, I've been sick this week. I might pump out one more report today or tomorrow, and depending on how far I get into the year, I'd say that would be what determines weather or not I'll hand it off to the next person a little early.

Again, my apologies for all of this. Hope this clarifies it.

Hello. Can I take a turn in the future (turn 11)? I am a firm believer in "Magma solves all problems", and have been looking for a !!fun!! game to join.

I understand, but consider (in the future) taking into account your own personal schedule before agreeing to a community fortress. As you have said, writing out detailed posts is quite time consuming, but you were well aware of the 'one week' limit and could have summarized appropriately. At this point, I would write up one last post before handing off the save - you have to consider the poor sods who have been waiting patiently all this time!

No harm, no foul - just understand the patience of forum-goers wears thin rather easily, and that the best part of community fortresses (well, IMO) is actually playing the fortress yourself.

Sure, welcome to Doomforests!

I think that nobody questions your intent, so no need to apologize. These things happen to everyone. It's also quite apparent, I think, to everyone that you put a lot of effort into your writing.
However, what I think you have to think about is whether keeping the save or passing it along is better for the community fort, not whether your personal circumstances are enough reason to keep everyone else waiting.
Anyway, I think it's fair to upload the save now. If you really think you can finish very soon, then by all means, we would all love it if you did, but please be realistic .

[PsychoAngel]

Yeah, I won't be able to end it like I wanted to, so here it is:

OVERSEER'S LOG: ENTRY NINE

I believe it is safe to say that I must resign as the current overseer of our fort. I am but a soaper, and that is all I wish to be. I know my place here, and being the overseer is not it.

To the next overseer, a list of requests:

• Finish the work-in-progress hospital wing with traction benches.
• Allow soap-making to continue for the sake of public health, but not to the point where we exhaust the wood reserves.
• Create a public bath/cleansing chamber for all to enjoy. Clean dwarves are happy dwarves.
• Work on a prison for criminals. There hasn't been any trouble yet as far as I'm concerned, but we should have one just in case.
• Finish the second new graveyard and possibly work an a third, just in case.

This is what I request from you, and I hope we may accomplish all of these in the near future, but priorities must be made.


Here is the save: http://dffd.wimbli.com/file.php?id=10256  I might want to take another turn later, but we'll see.

[Taupe]

Ok, disclaimer, i am the noobest person ever. i learned how to play using all the noob tools, and after someone litterally dropped the complete setup on my desktop. I'm also running the old version (0.34.whatev) so i'm not sure whats new in this version, so that should be !fun!...

Okay, so hum, I see that the file version used is 0.40.06, is that correct?

What am i allowed to use to run this fort? I'm usually using dfhack, some texture mod, and dwarf therapist. I have zero idea what I can rely on, and what i cannot for this succession run. Please advise. Keep it simple, when i read ''anything that modifies the RAWS'' I immediately assume the game's programming is made of uncooked meat. This is how programming-illiterate i am.

Assuming i cannot use those utilities, here's my most important question: how do I, hum, select things? Like seriously I tried running an unmodified fort before and I couldn't even select a workshop to order it around, or hilight a stockpile to modify it, that kind of thing. i can get my cursor on them, and ackowledge that they are, in fact, the thing I want to interact with, but have found no way to actually do so. Ask the people over at Datheteyo, i once made an outer wall out of pure fucking gold because I didnt know how to navigate some menus without a mouse.

Yeah, so, we are in for a world of !FUN! as you can see here. Oh, did you check whisperwhip and assume i knew what I was doing? NOOOPE.

Oh, and hum, after such a long turn, I don't want to extend mine, but keep in mind that this is the week before christmas, so I may have to ask for a slight extension down the line, depending on my amount of mandatory socialisation, overtime and the framerate of this beast.

I will get the save and start on this tomorrow, assuming my general noobness has been addressed by one of you lovely folks.
