Grimsledge, a reminder about the time limit.  Technically you're over it already, but as long as you're actually playing and working on the map and will be done with your story in a couple of days-ish I don't think there's a problem, but if you've decided not to finish or feel you cannot, you need to let us know so we can pass the last save onto the next player (which is Huggz, as Slayer dropped out).

[Grimsledge Bloodbeard]

Sorry dwarves, But i feel as though it was not fated i do this at this time. I need to get a bit more experience playing longer then just a few seasons and starting over. my apologies, But I will continue to watch this, good luck, and if it makes it around to me again, i may ask to take another swing.

[Imp]

Of course you can, Grimsledge!  Sorry we couldn't get you the help you wanted with military; that's not my strong suit either.  Far as I am concerned, you are totally welcome to take another turn, please do!

Since Grim's turn wasn't finished, I believe we are using Jordrake's save, located here  http://dffd.wimbli.com/file.php?id=2225.  The year is still 208 207.  Slayer had also dropped out, so our line up of remaining players looks like this -

Huggz - Year 207 -pending-
lordnincompoop - Year 208 -pending-
Matuin - Year 209 -pending-


It's Huggz turn, however I already sent him a message on the 6th to let him know it would soon be his turn.  He hadn't logged in since the 2nd, and hasn't logged in since.

I suggest that we flip lordnincompoop's turn with Huggz, as lordnin has been active even this very day!  And Huggz has been gone a week now, and might be gone who knows how much longer.  How about it, lordnin and anyone else who cares?

[lordnincompoop]

Oh, it's my turn now? Sorry, been away doing work and haven't noticed my messages.

I'll give it a go. Anything special I need to know before I get started?

[Imp]

Just have fun, and keep us posted on how it goes!  Rules are in the op, pretty standard for a succession game.  If you've got any questions, ask away.  Great that you're active and responded so fast

Any idea how to get VisFort working on Mayday (only version that works with this)?

Private uses only, as I have a bit of trouble doing my map-wide overview with only DF.

[Imp]

I've never used Visfort, sorry.  Might want to ask in the questions part of the forum?  I got therapist to work with this by copying the save folder into a non-mayday version of DF, doing whatever job changes I needed to do with therapist, then transfering the save folder back into the mayday version.  Clumsy, I'm sure, but worked for me.

Sign me up for this. Also, i'll take the next available dwarf with military skills. nicknamed "HeyGuys" with profession set to "Monk"

I am Mosus.

Mosus the mechanic, they call me. And this year, change shall happen.

I have seen what has happened, and disliked much of it. This fortress is ruled by incompetents, caring little for their fellow dwarves. This is about to change. I am no great warrior, or a brave rebel, nor am I blessed by Fate. I hold no ruling seat, nor do I command any but myself. I was not born to wealthy or powerful people - they were peasants, making a meagre living off of hauling and digging in the gulags. And even from them, came nothing. I was birthed into the world, then left behind. A triviality, easily overlooked. I fought for survival each day, as I barely managed to steal enough food to make it through the week and had to watch by as dwarves basking their faded glory from days long past took the best pickings in this joke of an economy.

Nobody saw me then. Nobody looked down and took pity, or held out a helping hand. Why would they? I had done nothing of note - to the others, I was only slightly better than a corpse. I toiled in the factories, eavesdropped on conversations and meetings, hoping to learn something of value. And as I worked, I swore that one day I would rise to a position of power and change everything for the better. I saw an opportunity, and seized it without hesitation.

I am an advisor for the mayor, now but a mindless figurehead. Therein lies the power.

I make my own luck.

Welcome in, Heyguys!  This is a succession fortress, the current player lordnincompoop may choose to write your dwarf into his year of play that just started, or he might not - it's his year and how it goes is totally up to him.  Once year 207 ends, it passes to the next player for the next year, and so on. 

And I'm happy to sign you up for year 210, that's the next open one.  Most likely we'll get to meet your character when your year starts, and if we're lucky we'll get to hear about how past leaders have fared after their turns ended too.  The original post has the story's few rules (mostly that you get a week to play out your year, and no using additional mods or 'cheating programs'), and the original poster started the theme that your dwarf became the leader because they found a specific journal - whatever dwarf writes in it first that year becomes that year's leader, but at the end of the year must drop it/hide it/throw it for some next dwarf to become the new leader.

A few of our posters haven't appeared to use the journal in their year's story, but most have.  The map's a mayday mod of the 40d18 version of DF, can be downloaded here if you don't have that version.  http://mayday.w.staszic.waw.pl/~mayday/upload/DFG22.zip




lordnincompoop, looking like a great starting point and an interesting personality, will enjoy reading more as you post it.

Hullo fellas. I've no succession experience as of yet, but i'll have next turn if no one's claimed it yet. :]

[Imp]

Turns for all who ask, NotQuiteJesus.  Welcome to turn 211, when that turn comes.

lordnincompoop, how's year 207 going? 

[Grimsledge Bloodbeard]

Lali-Ho, Lordnincompoop and heyguys, and welcome to Lokumidek. Just a request, really, much like the request of heyguys: a Hammerdwarf named Bloodbeard, profession Grimsledge.

[lordnincompoop]

Turns for all who ask, NotQuiteJesus.  Welcome to turn 211, when that turn comes.

lordnincompoop, how's year 207 going?

Year 206. And it's going pretty well - I'll post a report soonish. Just some mysterious thirst/hunger deaths.
