This sounds like a lot of fun, but what if you need the graphics pack to be able to play... I do ok without them but I really enjoy the game a great deal more with mayday's graphics.  Would I be able to sub in those raws, and swap them back out for the defaults after my time is up?

[TooMuchPete]

I'm not super-familiar with the raw modifications that MayDay uses, but as long as they don't break the game when they're replaced with stock raws, I don't see why that would be a problem.

I also agree that posting the "winners" back to this thread would be a great way to track the narrative.

Well, I'm going to throw out a really generic embark idea so that everyone has lots of options - temperate or cold heavily forested area on a major river, preferably w/o waterfall. We'd get wood, plant life, water, and possibly ice at winter. And of course all that fun underground stuff.

Also just thought up an amusing rule, what do you guys think: You can never re-name a dwarf. Once the first canon save is selected, you can only name un-named dwarves and have to use the canon's nicknames, and likewise to the next canon save. Think it'd add a layer of fun craziness.

I'll do a couple tests tonight to make sure, he's added a nifty little app to quickly update the raws so nothing is manual anymore.  If that tests out ok I'll definitely join this scramble.

After finally reading boatmurdered it's going to be interesting to see how other peoples play styles are incorporated.

Just did a diff of the stock 31.05 raws and the mayday 31.05 raws and all I saw were tile changes, no actual game mechanics changes, so using mayday should be fine -- just be sure to sub the raws back out to the defaults.

I'm in, but I think we may have to stick to screenshots and map uploads, since the map export seems to be causing a crash still.  Should be fun though, I think I found an interesting site   (Read: "suicidal site")

My delete key doesn't work on custom names , so I play this way anyway, but I think it'd make a fun rule as well.  Especially if we all know they can't be changed, so stupid names can be part of the decision process.

Hehehe. My own naming system is pretty different from what I've read other players do. Don't expect no 'Urist McSomeone' if I win a scramble

Anyone opposed to a site like this?

Not really. But if I ever get a run on this, I tell this to you, I like crafting "new features" when drunk. You have been warned.

I object to the no waterfall notion.

Well, I suggested it because of the FPS damage waterfalls tend to do, but I'm good with whatever popular consensus is.
