That's it. That's the tweet.

Spoiler: Clicking on the Queen's tweet yields the following image (click to show/hide)

Note: Most of these images are not yet linked from imgur. Busy respec'ing. GenerateStatus' original tweet gen just went offline so I guess it stays up 3 days exactly.

Spoiler: Rules (click to show/hide)

1. If we make this turn-based, turns last a year of game time, or a week of real time. You can fudge that by a few days.
2. Document turns in a social media format. Tweets, FB post, Instagram, etc. "Breaking News" is also acceptable. Memes too, as long as a date of posting is shown. This will keep updates short... ish. Preferably upload to Imgur for posterity.
3. If someone is unable to finish the turn, turn over the file and someone else plays for a year on that end date i.e. if you started Felsite you end in Felsite.
4. Upload the save to DFFD afterwards.
5. If the fortress has unacceptable levels of damage, or bugs, it is reasonable to roll back. If a squad is out raiding, you may take some time to make sure they return.
6. Let's not retire the fort in the first like, five years OK?
7. You may claim a dwarf. Players should be dwarf'd (or any other creature'd as long as they're represented in the fort).
8. If images aren't clear and the reader is *meant* to be able to "zoom in", post the images i.e. maps separately.
9. Rules may be amended as necessary.

https://wonhowto.com/guide-twitter/fake-tweet-generator.html IMO slightly dated but allows the creation of "dark mode" tweets.
https://www.faketweetgenerator.com/ allows custom date, gives a direct download without storing on the server, but doesn't allow to show the post has been "liked/retweeted".
https://generatestatus.com/fake-tweet-generator/ is what I'm currently using for fake tweets doesn't allow me to do imageless posts. It allows you to manually enter the month in, which helps presentation. It also allows generation of fake instagram and facebook posts.

Now it wouldn't be the first time some idea like this sounded simple, and, well, required a whole lot more execution and legends searching to get it set up. Using "modern twitter" that goes up to 280 chars. Note we're still yet to embark though. Let's see how things have progressed since the last tweet...

No, we're not embarking 16x16. It will be a total of 16ish tiles for sanity.

For the fake tweet generator I posted, the original link went offline after 3 days (I relinked to an imgur version). I'm guessing that's the lifespan of the image there. If you don't want it hosted off imgur, use one of the other generators.



Following the link yields the following:

Unfortunately, it's going to take a bit longer, I mean we're about at the end of the prologue while I find a proper receipt generator with all the functionality required.
