So yeah, this idea has been kicking around in my head for while. What's it all about?

I'll be playing a fortress in the game except, you'll be making the choices. I'll take the first three suggestions and put them in a poll, then whenever I feel like it I'll take the most popular one and do it, in Dwarf Fortress. Anyone interested? Only one suggestion per person please, and keep in mind that impossible requests will be ignored(e.g. mine out the sky!!).

If so, first decision, where'll I be embarking?(DECIDED) Terrifying glacier with magma:

Second question, what starting build will we be using? Possible names for the fortress, animals, food, skills and starting civilization etc. Any areas not specified I will choose myself.(DECIDED)

Third Question, what should the newly arrived seven dwarves do next?

Why?  It's got everything. =/

[Demonic Spoon]

Search for a terrifying glacier with magma has commenced. New decision up while search in progress.

[Meta]

For the starting build, a carnivorous one could be fun. So you can take:
-5 hunters and 2 butchers;
-one pick;
-a lot of bolts;
-a lot of booze;
-only meat, no plants;
-2 horses, or 2 donkeys, or 2 cows. That's for the meat industry;
-some logs, for beds;
-an anvil, if you have points to spare.

[Demonic Spoon]

...5 hunters...on a terrifying glacier...  oh well, you guys are the boss.

P.S. You can also choose the starting civ.

EDIT: Anyone know of a better image host than photobucket? I've been hearing things about tinypic mentioned here and there, it any good?

[filiusenox]

It works.I use it when ever i need to host pics.

[Demonic Spoon]

Tinypic doesn't really seem to improve the quality.

P.S. Aren't you gonna suggest something?

[Christes]

Carnivorous build is intense.  But with magma, you can melt ice to do farming, too.

[Demonic Spoon]

So, suggest something! C'mon, you know you want to!

[Christes]

Well I know people here are sadists and will choose carnivorous since it will probably make you lose fast. xD

If there's still an opening when I get back from class tonight, I'll make another one.
