Hmmm, shouldn't we start the contest when the new version is released? Because I would definitely stop working on this if I had to use the old version while the new one was out.

[malroth]

I was thinking more on the lines of "let this version go out with a bang"

[Lord Dakoth]

I know it's the 24th, but can I sign up anyways?

I know it's the 24th, but can I sign up anyways?

Yes you can.  The contest starts today, and ends in 3 weeks on the 14th, new contestants can join in anytime before the 14th,  but will be expected to meet the same deadline and be judged by the same standards as those who start on time. We'll stop taking entries at midnight pacific time. Since There was no consensus from the judges  the contest will use the rules and scoring from the inital post. If a contestant finishes their 7 dwarf years before the 3 weeks are up they may choose to submit their entries early. 


I'm going to reread through the thread and create a list of contestants and judges and edit this post once its finished

I know its horrible, but I am just in a lazy mood...

[Grek]

Progress update:
Currently Mid-Winter. One of the original seven was killed by a kobold
Current population is 31. Over 600 drinks, 300+ plump helmets, 250ish assorted meats, fish and meals. 45K+ created wealth. Magma has been secured and the [REDACTED] industry has been established. Currently fiddling with the layout of the first tower.

[Flaede]

I reccomend someone arrange to have all masterpieces, artifacts, and engravings destroyed. Also, the nobles. Also, the booze.
 
The resulting tantrum spiral should be considered fortress destruction, right? And the best part? No one would be able to tell what happened, since it's an "engravings or it didn't happen" world.

[hillburra]

Is it possible to pit peoples pets? Because it occured to me that you could spend 7 years getting as many pets for the dwarves as possible then pitting them in a spike pit which is attached to the lever -would greatly speed along the tantrum spirals.

[Flaede]

I dont think so. but spiking reg'lar pets and arranging for miasma clouds might help the same cause.

[Pie]

Hey would it be possible for me to join this?

[father_alexander]

i think the rules say that you cant, im not sure about wen midnight in pacific time, but what the hell, give it a try after all, you should be doing this for science and glory, the contest is simply to ask more people to do it at the same time :3

also i think i can make some medals or prizes would you people like that?

anyway, good luck everyone!

[vturtle]

I'm considering the contestants list just to be the list that I'll try to double check and watch for in the thread.  If you post in the thread with a "Here's my submission" I'll be happy to judge it even if it's your first ever post in the forums.

It's not like we usually follow mandates around here anyway. 

[Rafal99]

I would like to participate as a contestant. Sorry for being so late but I had no internet access during last 2 days.

My plan is:
3x3 area with sand, magma pipe and small part of a river,
LOTS of green glass, everything made from it, 
magma above, magma below, caveins, total destruction.

I have embarked already, but one of the cats went to close to a fire imp ...... oh no fireball, grass fire, dwarves not caring about the fire, you know what happened...

Regenned the world, embarked again, this time with a good crossbowdwarf, will see what I can do.

[Brown Moses]

I've done this in the past, here's a couple of fortresses and their destruction by lever for your inspiration:

Is it too late for me to sign up?  I plan on having a lever that releases some... things... but you totally won't see the end coming.
