Hey all, I had an idea for a new succession game.  The rules are as such:

Every year, a player chooses a floor in the fortress.  During their year, any construction, with the exception of stairs, must occur on their floor and their floor alone.  You may use preexisting facilities on other floors (e.g. mason shops, craftsdwarf shops, etc), but any new workshops, floors, or walls must be constructed on your floor.  However, floor 0 is open game and free for all to screw with as they please.

Any takers?

Presently, we are in the process of transitioning to a new location.  You can still sign up, but you will be playing a different fortress when your turn comes.

sounds like it could end up very disorganized

might join, depends on schedule, don't sign me up until I post again with a definate

[LegoLord]

I would, but I have things to do coming up.  Good luck with this, though.  Sounds like fun.

So is each floor one z-level of the area, or one z-level of a pre-determined area within it?

[ousire]

would that mean that player #1 would have to set up the basics of survival? farm/booze/some beds?

also, define 'floor 0', is this tower only allowed to be above ground?

lastly, is there a limit as to how big this tower can be? do all floors have to be the same size, cause i think of housing, and having a dozen z levels for all the beds is impractical. if one or two levels could be much larger, then just about all the beds could be placed on one level

Floor 0, as in the z-level labeled as 0.  Player 1 wouldn't be required to establish all survival basics (though that usually happens anyway), as the farms and barracks can be placed on level 0.

The tower can be as wide as the map will allow (which is something like 4 embark tiles wide and tall), meaning that it's unlikely you'll build up or dig out your entire z-level on your turn.  We can keep the population low (which will aid in fps and in extra beds).

You are not limited to positive z-levels either.  I mean, building would be impossible without digging.

Also, yes this is probably going to be disorganized, but there was never a good succession game that wasn't.

[LegoLord]

Ah, heck.  Put me close enough to the bottom of the list that you think it might be my turn by the time we're past the 19th of July (after others have joined of course).  If my turn hits before then, just bump my turn up or skip me entirely, whichever is convenient.

[crash2455]

That is, of course, assuming there is a list.  It appears people aren't quite so eager to sign on.

[ArkDelgato]

This sounds like terrific fun.

SIGN ME UP GUV'

[xaque]

I'll take a turn. Do we have a map location already? Also, how long do we have to complete each turn?

[Demonic Spoon]

I'd like a turn as well please.

[Calvin]

I'll be in.

But I'll say this now.
I have to go away for two weeks this sunday.

[Quote]

I'm in.

[Calvin]

People should like "Reserve" their levels.

For me, I'd like to have a underground level.
Provides more protection.
I CALL -1!

[crash2455]

I think levels should be taken when you actually get the fort, but you get the choice of descending or ascending (just keep in mind that we probably won't have too many building materials at first, so save ascending for maybe the third or fourth round.

I already have an embark location picked out, I just need to get started (which I'll do tomorrow).

[sausage]

so, what will happen with invaders?

im in too
