Cool, I'll be Caelum and I vote for the CBM as well, but I'm flexible.

This slows it down enough to stick the landing with relatively minor injuries. In Dwarf Fortress, apparently, cats don't do that.

I would vote for the CBM, but if there are strong objections I wouldn't mind just a regular game.  If we don't do CBM, I would very much like to use the unique gemgens mod, though.

Everyone,
I've updated the first post to show where we are.  Outstanding issues before we can start:

CBM, Vanilla, or Unique Gemgens?  I count 3 votes for CBM, 1 for Unique Gemgens, and 3 unknown.

Map: Fixed or unfixed starts?  The discussion was pretty even on that, so unless someone has an unfixed-starts map I would go with what we've got.

I don't really care about fixed vs unfixed starts, but if they're fixed I'll need to check out where they are... I haven't really played maybe non-random maps so I'm not really familiar with them.

On this map, the fixed starts have big dots on them.  It will be totally clear.

I've heard good things about CMB. my vote goes to that. I have no opinion on the starts.

It *sounds* like the majority (and/or apathetic enablers  ;)) have agreed on Bering fixed CBM. Are we ready to start then? Should I start making and remaking my pretender?

I'm ok with whatever you like. Post some download links for the right mods when you're done deciding, so that we can be sure everyone gets the same stuff.

Assuming we are going with what our extreme verbosity suggests we are, the links are:

Map: Bering
Mod: CBM 1.6

If our erstwhile host doesn't get the game set up in by the end of day, I'll go ahead and do it (with the intent of passing admin back, as I really don't want that awesome responsibility. ;))

Sounds good and thanks for the links! I was hoping to get started this weekend when I have time!

Okay, so the game is up as Bay12Games2. Settings are, per prior discussion, MA Bering under CBM 1.6, with pretty much every option set to default. I did push sites up to 50, but all the rest is standard. 24h turns to start, with the expectation of that being doubled or tripled eventually.

Turn on the CBM 1.6 mod, design your pretender, and send 'em off to pretenders[at]llamaserver[dot]net, with Bay12Games2 as the subject. Admin keys will be handed off to Belac, so he'll be the person to bug about extensions or whatever.

[Edit: until all pretenders are submitted, settings can still be changed, so if we wanted to do something different there's still time. I recall there'd been at least a little talk of upping indy strength and/or research difficulty to try to delay the onset of the late game. Or we can quite easily stick with it as mostly default. Up to yinz. I'm perfectly happy with things as they are, but I'm also quite flexible and will not protest tweaking either.]
