It's A (Wonderful?) Dwarven Life
« on: June 16, 2009, 05:15:55 pm »



So, I was thinking of making a Forum Game, my first new-gen one, since the downfall of xSpore (My Old Forum-game making hangout).

So, in this game, you start off as born. As a baby, you learn to interact, babble, walk, etc.
How to behave in class. Who to ask out to the movies, your sexual orientation (lol?), what music you are into, what actions to take throughout your life in certain directions (Nature, indoors, social, etc).
You get the idea, up till the point of your death.


How do I join?

Simply type your character name (Preferable your Username, or atleast, some of it).
And then wait for the placeholders to fill up, i'll keep it at 4 for now.

Player slots are full, if you want to be added to the waiting list (When we increase the slots / a player leaves or dies in the game) then PM me. :)

PLAYERS: 5/5
Azkanan Ropematyred - Azkanan
Redsuff Giftedirons - xRedster
Dogan Fliermerchant - Cj####*
Samus Firewoods - Samus
Cerapa Relicmines - Cerapa

How is aging handled?

I'll probably come up with a few kick-ass ideas... Birthdays will be every 10 turns.
Seeing as one player may spent 6 turns in one event, that won't work. Maybe at the end of 3 in-game days, or, something. :)
Or maybe I'll go Sims 3 on this one..

How is money and skills handled?

Money will be handled by jobs, allowances, so forth. I will randomly generate your parents and how rich/poor they are.

How are turns handled?

Basically, I am like the server, and you are the clients (In tech-terms) Or basically, I post "game begins!" the players say what they will do, we wait till everyone has posted, then I post Turn 1. And so forth.

Character..Traits, did you say?

Against contrary beleif, I doubt this was brought up by the idea of Sims 3, but, I will generate the people you meet by giving them randomly picked traits (That could be fun... A pervy necrophiliac... Or a intelligent cowardly... Bah, you get the idea).
Players won't have traits (unless a number of players VS who don't, want it), so that players can choose to have full control of their life.

I'd like it to be Dwarf themed. Maybe we can learn the goblin language, and shout insults at our foes during sieges! (I'm serious, actually, there's a lot of possibility with a Dwarf-themed life, if you're willing to make the backstory, fortresses, maps and such. Maybe just gen a decent world from DF and copy that?)

This being Homestuck, I'm not sure whether that's post-scratch Rose or Vriska with a wig.

I think that's everything. How do we make a character?

One more.

I was thinking, maybe lifespans should go, "Baby" for so-many turns, "Child" for so-so-many turns, "Teenager" for so-so-SO-many turns, then "Adult" till the character dies of unnatural reasons...
Such as, Murdered, Accident, etc.
when the player dies, it moves onto a heir (child), otherwise the player is kicked out of the game.

Here's the world, generated. It's pretty balanced, deserts in the north, snowy to the south. Fun.

Everything is ready to go. Just waiting on that last player-to-be...

Meanwhile, I may go to bed soon. T'is 1:17.
12-hour-clock.
I'll give it till 1:45, gives me enough time to generate you're parents, and whatnot. :)
