Hi. I'm new to the forums and to Dwarf Fortress. I've only been playing for a month or so and I'm not to good. Ever since I started I've always wanted to start a succession game.

First things first.

Rules:
Each turn lasts one-year/one week IRL.
If your turn takes to long we'll skip you and revert to the previous save
If you doom the fortress on pupose we'll revert to the previous save

Before we start does anyone have any preferences of where we embark? It'll be a 4 by 4 embark area.
Here's a picture of the map:

If you want to join just tell me.
We'll start after we get 5 people and we pick an area we'll start.

[Pentigan]

I'll join.

FYI, first post!

Anywhere with both stone and soil is fine with me.

[lishain]

Not played any succession game,but would like to try.So I'll join.

[Put]

Hmmm last succession fort I was in I kind of messed up the fort on my turn.....hmmm....I'll sign up!

[Arni]

I'll sign up as well

And i suggest a smaller embark due to FPS issues...

[TatersAndTots]

Quad Core 3.00GHz processor up in this bitch! Make it as big as you want man.

Sign me up. Its been months since I've played and I have no clue what the new version does.

Bring it.

[ravin3]

I'll join in. Not to good with complex things, but I have automated defense down (I think).

[evilgenius21]

I'd also like to join in. Also, I'd recommend a terrifying area. Preferably near an ocean. Skeletal whales always provide endless amounts of "fun." 

EDIT: Also, how long do we have to get our turns in?

Seconded, although skeletal yeti are Fun-er. I suggest the one-year/one week IRL method.

There is nothing as lovely as a skeletal yeti discovering and beating an goblin ambush

[UmbrageOfSnow]

I've also never played a succession game and would love to, count me in please.

Maybe controlling a fortress that has been built for several years without my graph paper notebook overthinking would get me out of whatever comfortable box I'm sure I live in.

My only request would be some form of sourced water, Ocean > River > Stream > Aquifer , whatever.

[mathlc]

Count me in!

Also? how will be the embark area???

Terrifying\haunted?
Magma???
Water??
Aquifier??
Freezing\cold


i would vote for a terrifying biome with magma,water,no aquifier and freezing ftw...

[TatersAndTots]

We could have an aquifer if we are in a freezing biome. All you need is to expose the aqufier to the air, IE dig a big shaft down into the aquifer. Then you channel the top layer of stone and the water that flows in will freeze. Dig through the solid ice and channel the next layer. That one freezes too. Repeat until your through.

Is this a good embark site for you guys? By the way it's a warm terifying ocean. It'll be really FUN what with the fact that we'll be fending off zombie whales and unicorns and such.

Just so you know I can't really breach aquafirs so one of you would have to do it.

Also sure we'll use the one-year/one week IRL method.

[ravin3]

I have no clue how to do aquifers either, but so far I'm ok with it.
Anyone else have any  objections?
