Voting for Clobbermountains if that's possible now.

+1 for clobbermountains. It toally deserves it.

+1 for clobbermountains. It toally deserves it.

I really hate to ask, but has Clobbermountains been disqualified for whatever reason? It's been a long time since it was nominated, and it hasn't been mentioned by OP since.

E: A quick search indicates that nobody provided a link, as far as I can tell. Here's one, if it makes any difference at this point.

That's 4 votes for Clobbermountains. Two more and it's in.

I Nominate Archcrystal.... I know it only has 11 pages, but once you read it, you'll understand why I nominate this.

Its a fortress that has been active for 310 in-game years. And it is currently building a glass city in the HFS. Its military of only 2 dozen or so have faithfully guarded its gates both in the HFS and the surface for these past 3 centuries.

You HAVE to read it, the level of commitment this would require is beyond me or the average DF player

Archcrystal

Wirejade is in there, why not Archcrystal?

I nominate , Archcrystal as the game finally inspired me to join this place and download the game.

I already did so is this a +1 vote?

Oh...in that case yes.

Also +1 to Archcrystals, if I can get a second vote in there.

+1 to Archcrystals

+1 to archcrystal if possible.

+1 Archcrystal

If such is the case, which being in college atm as well, I truly do understand, than also +1 for Archcrystal.

+1 to archcrystal as well, it's truly epic.

+1 to archcrystal as well, it's truly epic.

+1

If only for domesticated Cave Dragons.

But what he's doing in [spoilers] is truly epic.

plus he has a truly generational fort. which, let's face it, a lot of us want to do, but the damn pesky dwarves keep dying because of us they are stupid.

I give a vote for Archcrystal. May the cave dragons ever smote the demons unto the ages.

+1 to Archcrystal. It's just awesome.

I'm not even going to bother to count, it's in. Long live Archcrystal!

I nominate Atolasob! One of the best community fortresses ever, if you ask me.

Nominated!

Im vote for SilentThunders, definitely deserves it imo

Voted.

One vote for Murdermachines! Who's with me?

Yeah!

2 votes for Murdermachines!

I nominate "Vaults?", a thread started a few days ago.
the link: http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=162870.0
It's basically "You have found..." only in adventure mode. A new player finds a vault, wanders in, loses all companions and three limbs while trying to figure out what's going on. Asks questions on the forums. Manages to get the slab but has no idea what to do with it. Is told to google. Learns about clowns.
After backing up the save and searching legends mode they found that the demon who created the vault has been long dead, slain by the same roc that killed their last three adventurers. Awesome story.

Oh, and they killed a bunch of angels and got the slab while wearing only goose leather armor.

This is great, I'm going to vote for it when this become eligible

+1.

Just read it, and it is worthy of being placed in here, so +1 from me

Definitely deserves a spot, I was pretty shocked when he said "goose leather". I die to those in candy!

+1 Watch as a hapless player adventures into a vault and accidently does what many far more experienced players haven't with a stolen silver axe and laughingly ineffectual armour.

+1 for Vaults.

Another +1 to Vaults. I think this is the first time something has passed the nomination process before it was nominated. 

Vaults is one of those rare things that requires a player not only know nothing about all the HFS they are courting, but also choose to document it, live, for the forum goers.

So +1 to Vaults.

+1 to vaults

+1 to vaults.

+1 to vaults, mates.

Vaults is in!

Hey, Necrothreat III is no longer active. Necrothreat IV, however, is, and deserves a vote.

I also vote for Necrothreat IV.

I'll nominate Necrothreat IV.

Nominated! My turn's coming up soon 

Hey, I noticed Necrothreat III is in the "active" section. It ended a while ago and was replaced by Necrothreat IV. Thanks.

Moved it to Inactive right under Necrothreat II, and added IV to the nominations. Thanks.

We need an adventurer mode section now

Good point. I'll create a section.

Some of the links in the Stories/Finished section. You put bay12games, not bay12forums.

I'm not really sure what happened with those, but I'll try to fix them.

If anyone wants to take over the hall of legends, or create a website or google doc, that would be welcome. Otherwise I will continue to run it infrequently and with pestering. 
Also, I'm not really enforcing the month long waiting period anymore. You can vote for something as soon as it's nominated.

Votes for Necrothreat IV!

[snow dwarf]

I'm planning to set up a Google docs sometime this month (looking at my schedule, closer to sometime this year. ) I was thinking for it to be run by more than one person this way it could last for longer. Would anyone be interested?

[apiks]

I'd actually be against making it a google doc or in any other way moving it off the forums. It creates an unnecessary hoop. And run by more than one person? God forbid the management then.

On another note I'm also against removing the 1-month-for-nomination rule. It was there so you could stiffle short-lived hype, and instead induce nominations only worthy of being in the memory of people for a longer time.

[snow dwarf]

I disagree, having it managed by three four people would be easier than waiting half year for one person to update, because even if you start out excited and update the hall of legends every week, that's what's gonna eventually happen.

I'm quite certain that the thread will be updated at least once a month eventually, which seems fair to me. NAV is still new and hasn't gotten used to the responsibility. You can hardly cast him out thanks to that.

I'm not casting him out.  I'm grateful for what he does, but It just seems like a much more efficient way to have more people working on this.

NAV has my support, and I'm against the google thing for now. Give it time.

And I am against removing the one month rule as well. The HoL was never about how fast canw e get legends in, it was the quality and how carefully selected it was.

[NAV]

I generally trust bay12ers to vote objectively. The one month waiting period was/is another thing to track, one which requires temporal consistency .

We could increase the number of votes required to help offset the lack of buffer period. It would make some sense since the playerbase is so much larger than it was when the HoL was created. Though the portion dedicated enough to vote might not be.

I might make a poll about what to do.

[snow dwarf]

+1 to increased number of votes.

[apiks]

-1 to increasing the votes by a significant amount. +1 to increasing it by 1-3 people.


I would, however, still be in favor of retaining the 1-month rule.

[Paxiecrunchle]

1+ too keeping the current system.

[Paxiecrunchle]

Oh and +1 to Dwarf fortress from scratch which is essentially what happens when you give a bunch of coders some good drugs, and a desire to turn toward fortress it into "Halfling Hovel: Sci FI edition" oh, and the "carnival"  is made of "frozen blood" and "ice" (nobody knows what that stuff really is).
