I want to get this out straight away. THis will be slow! I plan on doing weekly updates. I probably wont get any work done till next week. And dont expect innovative upwrites. I am doing this not becaus eof my ability of fortress managiung, but because this cant die. So there.

tl;dr : It will go slowly, please dont get mad at me.

[Sanctume]

understandable.  good luck, have fun

[Gwolfski]

Right, this weekend got no work, but I have a few comments/questions


Since the founder's district is meant to be timeless bobs, will you upload your proposal?

The rule for visitors is simplified for simplessness sake: It is up to the owner of the tavern whether to accept or not, the owner feeds the fellow and if the fellow applies for residency and they accept, the fellow will be a part of that district

I will inevitably leer to more care for my district, please notify me if you see so

And last, Reallife will get in the way. It is 11 pm, i didnt study for mondays tests and i get up at 6:30 am. so yeah, my life is not sane.

STRAWBERRIES!

THis post will have the rules and turns and stuff!

This is a mad experiment for a version of "real time" multiplayer in Dwarf Fortress:  A multiple-tile embark is segregated into 1x1 embarks using a grid of roads.  Each 1x1 block of land will be called a "District" and left in pristine shape until claimed by a Player.  Players also must claim seven dwarves from among the local population pool as their "Founding seven" (each "Founding seven" will be put in a burrow so that they are held inside the boundaries of that Quarter.  Any children of those seven will be added to the burrow, allowing separated genealogies to develop as well.)   Once a District is claimed, then a copy of the save is downloaded and the Player plays out a year, excavating or building anything they like out of the resources that the District provides.  (Inter-quarter trading or resources will have to be role-played out, creating an ad-hoc market system between Players.)  Here's the beauty of the system: Once a year has been played, they upload the new save file using the chosen name of that district as the file name, then that becomes the blueprint for the version of the game running on my machine.  In this way, multiple Districts can be played out year after year, with the completed year save of the game on my machine updating every-one else when in-game Spring rolls around once again.

Migrants will become the inter-district workforce for hauling and building stuff with all other labors turned off (Unless they are chosen as a part of a new District's "Founding seven.")  Districts who also have the Mayor or another Noble as a Founding member of the District, have the power and authority to decide to leverage a tax on the other Districts.  Of course, every year after the first one, there will be an election for the position of Mayor in the forum polls, so everyone has the chance to have that position.
  Special Days   
Founder's Day:

On the 1st day of spring, new Players have a chance to either take over Abandoned Districts or found New Districts. New Players should have a "top ten" list ready for when this save is posted, the early poster gets their pick!

Caravan Day:

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Merchants have arrived from one of the surrounding nations, and each District has a chance to post what they'd like to sell and buy, not only from the merchants, but also from the other Districts! Savvy trading will result in a more prosperous District at the end of the year.

The front page now links to your post.

Formatting tricks:

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

If you want to post text hyperlinks to websites outside the forum
1. Press the icon button under the italics button, you should get "url" "/url" in square brackets "[ ]" (the first is the "open" bracket the second is the "closed" bracket)
2. Copy the url of the website you wish to link to
3. Inside the first square bracket, put and equal sign next to the "url" then paste the website url next to that without putting any spaces in.  It should look like this: <open bracket>url=www.google.com<closed bracket><open bracket>/url<closed bracket>
4.  Put some text between the first closed bracket and the second open bracket so that it looks like this: "]This is a link to the Google homepage["
5.  All together, that will become This is a link to the Google Home page

If you want to post text hyperlinks to other pages in the forum:
1. go to that message and press the "quote" link.  (But don't press "Save", you're just getting link info!)
2. The code for the quote will look something like this: quote author=Timeless Bob link=topic=155674.msg6750703#msg6750703 date=1453289471
3. Remove the first part up to "link=" and the "date#", so that you're left with something that looks like this:  topic=155674.msg6750703#msg6750703
4. Add "http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?" to the front of that snippet, so that now you have something that looks like this:
http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=155674.msg6750703#msg6750703
5. Now you have the url link for the text hyperlink, follow the same procedure you would for posting text links to a url off of the forum.

If you want to size a picture for the screen:
1. Get the url for the picture (posted on a free site like Imgur or DeviantArt)
2. press the image button (right below the "bold" button)
3. You should get "img" "/img" in square brackets
4. Add " width=(number of pixels)" to the "img" so that it looks like this: <open bracket>img width=600<closed bracket>
5. Now you have a picture 600 pixels wide

The rest just uses the formatting already provided in the forum.  Happy posting!

This post is unnecessary.

[Urdothor]

Glad this is being continued.

[Dunamisdeos]

This is a super cool idea and I approve mightily.

Hope it continues, even if it is slow.

It will continue, but slowly. On weekends.

[Gwolfski]

I spent most of my spare time trying to safely run 10 instances of DF without corrupting anything, melting my RAM and initiating nuclear fusion in my processor. I was mildly successful.

I think it would be easier to read this if you would start another thread.
