NOOB FORT Currently Running!
In order to make the rather tame succession forts of today interesting, while still letting less obsessed addicted fixated enraptured dedicated players have a shot, we have ,instead of an extremely difficult challenge or location, made a fortress with 1 rule:
Nobody who has had more than 1 successful fort can play. There may be some confusion over "successful", but this mainly means has had artifacts, births, or has put up a good fight against adverse conditions rather than flopping round like a carp against a bronze collossus.
OR: Nobody can play without doing without the wiki's aid something they have no experience doing, which is at least a little difficult and dangerous (the more so the more experienced the player).
So basically, NOOBS. Like me, I have only ever had 12 forts with an artifact.
The use of wikis is discouraged. Fun stuff is allowed, as is !!science!! Independence is also prized, and people are not obliged to mention it when they accidentally screw the next owner over.
We would have to do the whole noob thing on trust, and be a little flexible, mebbe, as not many people like that are too into succession forts.
Apart from that the rules are pretty normal: players get dorfing priority, 1 week RL, 1 year ingame, though we could be flexible... Oh, and regular-ish updates, of course, in any creative form except interpretative dance.

Sorry for recent lack of maintenance of post. Was stuck in cottage in England. Less idyllic than seems, no internet, but countryside nice. None of the animals would join me on my adventures...
Actually, interpretative dance is kind of OK.
