Marking topic for participation. I'm not sure if I will create an independent team or join an existing one.

How about other rules? Do we need to bother with invasions and so forth? It seems like a needless and pointless hassle to spend our time micromanaging buggy combat/healing and buggy/imbalanced agriculture if our goal is tower creation.

We all want to be on fair footing, I'm sure. Questions naturally arise such as: are you going to set us at a higher-than-normal dwarf speed, are you going to disable eating/drinking, can we choose our own embarks, etc.

All rules are in the OP, and all your questions can get answers there. Invasions must be on, but does not need to be able to path into the fortress. No modding the raws at all, game needs to be unmodified.

I honestly can't wait to get started on this!

I'd like in on a team. And just to note: My PM settings are back to accepting all.
Jim Groovester? You have the only open team, can I join?

[Jim Groovester]

Certainly. I need meat for the grinder.

I kid, I kid.

[Flaede]

hehehe. sweet. Genned a world yet?

[Jim Groovester]

I think I'll need a few more people. Once we get to four I'll go make a new thread where we can start discussing stuff. Like how the project will be run, yearly goals, what kind of map to pick, etc. Once people see progress getting done, hopefully four more should come pretty quickly. This thing will need planning to get accomplished in eight years. I am severely tempted though to just randomly generate a world and start passing along the save, with no planning or communication whatsoever. That's one of the things we can discuss, I guess.

So, people, hurry up and join my group. You'll only have to play one intense year of management, and you'll have seven cheerleaders and coaches there to help you along the way.

IT HAS BEGUN.

See below. You'll have to re-embark, sorry. Hopefully you haven't gotten too much work done already.

Hey, your map needs to be a 2x2.

Though Silfur pointed out that the answers are in the OP (the rules are kind of hidden in the spoiler tags), I'll add that you can choose your own embark so long as it's a 2x2, and don't forget to give yourself lots of sky levels in your worldgen parameters.

Adding Flaede to Team Skycrashes. Also, Cloudpillar is officially starting up later today. It's on, baby!

Hrmm....

If anyone is up for a two-man, let me know. I don't much relish trying to get something done on Bay12 involving cooperation from 4+ players.

Would you like me to mark you as a new team looking for a second player in the OP?

Yes, please.

Crap. Why didn't I notice this?

EDIT:



It's on.

[Graebeard]

It's on².

IIRC, the tower was being sieged by buzzards when Granite rolled around. And watch out for the giant desert scorpions.

[Robocorn]

I can go third or something, I'm good with anything really as long as you don't leave me last, or second to last, or something to that effect.

Dammit, I thought Toady'd fixed the 'no farm plots on soil w/o mud' bug. Oh well. Fortunately our cavern floor is covered with mud, so I've just got to secure some space. I think I can secure the entire cavern if I plan a little bit. Wahahaha.

Still in spring of the first year, though. Lots of things to do.
