This is a new succession fort idea! The first player will attempt to survive as usual, but towards the last weeks of their turn, they would try to create a challenge for the next player to overcome. The challenge shouldn't be impossible (like the HFS) but it should be !FUN!. The next player than has to overcome this challenge, continue the fort, than create a new challenge at the end of their turn for the next player.

Some examples of challenges are:
Set the booze stockpile on fire.
Cause a minor flood.
Tear down an important wall during a goblin ambush.

Rules:
First come- first serve. No playing twice on the same fort.
Each turn is 1 dwarven year and must be completed within 3 days of the previous players finish, otherwise you will be skipped over.
Vanilla dwarf fortress, please refrain from using any texture packs so every image is compatible.
Once you set the challenge in motion, you may do nothing to stop it, so make sure you do it at the last moment.
During your turn, give an update on how you overcame the challenge, give at least seasonal updates, and give a brief description on the challenge you left for the next player.

NO SAVE SCUMMING! that would ruin the fun. It's perfectly okay if you fail to complete the challenge. Just make sure you describe how it all went down.

Here is the starting save: http://dffd.wimbli.com/file.php?id=10200
note: There is an aquifer and the dwarves are at war with the elves currently. I think these two things should make this chaotic enough.

can anybody tell me how to put an image into a post please?

[Pyrefly]

I don't think I can participate at the moment, but if we make a zoo and manage to put a dragon in it, would releasing all the fun animals in it be a challenge?

[origamiscienceguy]

yes, it most certainly would!

[endlessblaze]

does that mean im the first player or is that you? or did someone signup in the last thread I did not see?

[origamiscienceguy]

Okay, you're in!

On second thought, screw images.

[endlessblaze]

[origamiscienceguy]

I already got a world, posting to save file now

[endlessblaze]

an aquifer....crap....I don't know who to punch through those....
you have doomed my turn to boring ness...unless you punch through. your still going first right?

[origamiscienceguy]

I am going first. I have breached aquifers before. Hopefully, i will finish before my turn is up

this page is very useful: http://dwarffortresswiki.org/index.php/DF2014:Double-slit_method

[endlessblaze]

that breach had better be your top priority, I would probably screw up and not be able leave a surprise

[origamiscienceguy]

if you screw it up, do it at the end and make it your suprise
