When it doubt, perhaps use the same hosting that you'd downloaded from a couple pages back in the thread?  Here's a direct link - http://dffd.wimbli.com/submit.php

It's all just been going downhill from here. Nobody's doing what they're supposed to; the fortress framework is far from complete, the miners just lounge around, the ambushes just keep coming - they're not even particularly effective just annoying and persistent - and to top it all off, my friend's lying starved, dehydrated and comatose of the top of a hill with nobody coming for him. I try my best and sneak out often to care for him, but there's only so much a busy dwarf can do.

I can't get any hospitals ready, because there's no beds left in the stockpile and the carpenters are out on strike, demanding higher wages (they never had any, nor did anyone else here - how stupid can a dwarf get?). And anyway, if I'd make a hospital the other friggin lazy elfspawn would just come in whenever and crash on the beds, whether they're sick or not.

Not to mention a group of dwarves decided it was a good idea to mark the booze stockpile their territory, get drunk 5 in the morning and push off any other dwarves (which, by the way, actually contribute to this sorry excuse of a society) trying to slake their thirst.

I can't even do anything about this... The mayor had me fired after I didn't bring him his premium Elven chocolate mints in time. By Armok, that man will get killed sooner or later. A pity it won't be me who does it. I'm gonna board the first dwarven caravan out of here. I'm thinking of joining a small, organised outpost somewhere, living the remainder of my days -

Fuck. He's dead. My only buddy here, too.

Well, that's the last straw. I'm outta here. Nothing for me now.

I'll probably just off myself in a chasm on the way, to get it over with.


-----------------------------------------------

All done. Here's the save, and have Fun.

[lordnincompoop]

Heyguys?

Anyone?

[Imp]

Aha!  Thanks, Lord.  Sending a message to heyguys now.

So, did you finish out your year after all?  What was the wealth/pop count at the end of your time?  Your last post of the fort sounds like there's been quite a reversal of fortune!

[lordnincompoop]

I ended just as the autumn caravan came, so one season early.

Created Wealth: 573519#
Imported Wealth: 393314#
Exported Wealth: 56618#
Total Population: 67
Total Civillians: 57
Total Military: 10
Champions: 3

Things started to slow down, and the reason I ended the way I did was because the dwarves mysteriously stopped working well and I wanted to end with the narrator as pissed off as he came.

Plus, this wrap-up means that there won't be any leftover avatar-dwarf to take care of.

Hey guys, Im back, and after some r&r and frantic job hunting, I am (somewhat) settled. SO... I have reread some of the stuff on the wiki, played a little on a test map, and am feeling a bit more secure. So... I am now elgible to take a turn. Finaly. Shame about the recent drops though, but jood gob to lordnin for sticking it out.

[mathlc]

Sign me in !(plz)

[Imp]

The current turn is heyguys, who has not answered my mail to him yet (it's been 2 days now).  Heyguys, I hope you're still reading the thread, even if you don't notice you have mail, and take your turn!

Welcome back, Grimsledge!  Glad you're back, really glad, and guess what, it'll be your turn after heyguys!

And welcome in, mathlc, glad to have you with us, really glad.  Am assuming you know it's a 40d map, mayday variant, mentioning just in case you haven't read the storyline so far.

Here's the turn progression -

The Players involved:
Kamudo - Year 201 -FINISHED-
Lucied - Year 202 -FINISHED-
Imp - Year 203 -FINISHED-
Grimlocke - Year 204 -FINISHED-
Jordrake - Year 205 -FINISHED-
lordnincompoop - Year 206 -MOSTLY FINISHED/last season passed to next player-

heyguys - Year 207 -CURRENT-

Grimsledge Bloodbeard - Year 208 -pending-
mathlc - Year 209 -pending-

[lordnincompoop]

What say we just let Grimsledge go first?

[Grimsledge Bloodbeard]

I dont mind personally, but I'd rather he be given a fair amount of time to realize that it is his turn. Just in case, downloading the save now.

[Imp]

By the sacred words of our holy Kamudo, (who started this succession game) turns were to be limited to  7 days; with some acceptance and flexibility if needed should someone be almost done with their year and need another day or two for finishing.

We're now starting the fifth day of heyguys turn, and he's neither responded to the thread nor my message to him, and he hasn't been active on the forum since Monday.

I'm ok with sliding heyguys' turn down to 'next' for whenever he responds to the thread or the mail again - that will make him our only 'floating' player right now.  And I'll keep him 'next' for a couple of turns before I let him fall off the list, hopefully he'll check back on this thread within a week or two.  So, that would pass the turn to Grimsledge; I say go for it, because keeping the game alive and being played is quite important to getting new players continuing to sign up!

[lordnincompoop]

My schedule is starting to lighten up as I pass into the rose-gardens of the Summer Holiday. Therefore, sign me up again. I can take several turns if needed.

[Imp]

Excellent, Lord.  Consider yourself in after Mathlc, baring our missing heyguys reappearing during mathlc's turn and getting 'slipped in' for his missing turn.

Multiple turns are fine with me, though we probably wont want to have one person doing a bunch in a row.  Far as I am concerned, soon as someone's turn is over they are welcome to ask to be put back on the list - that should let everyone get a turn who wants one and hopefully give plenty of turns for anyone who wants several as well.

[Grimlocke]

Good to see this is still going.

Also, you can sing me up for another turn if theres nobody else to take one.

[Imp]

Grimlocke, I'm delighted to see you take another turn.


Alright, Lordnin's save was posted last Wednesday, and heyguy's turn started then.  Mailed him and let him know here too, but we've not heard from him, so I'll end his turn now and hope he'll ask for another again at some time!  I am open to letting heyguys be slipped in as a 'next' player for the next couple of turns if he contacts us within the next couple of weeks or so, if no one objects to that.

Here's the current save file - http://dffd.wimbli.com/file.php?id=2421
