The only special rule I've added is the "no murder" one. "Open Fort" is in effect but has been used before, and the other rules can be inferred. Specifically, try not to make the fort unplayable.

It's in the first post, but I'll reiterate. Turn changeover is Midnight Eastern Daylight Time.

I am excited to be a part of the great sparkgear!

Will you post the game file somewhere?  I play 40d because I am old school like that, and I'm not sure I want to monkey around with getting a new install up and going on my own.

!!Elves!! would actually be kinda cool as a civ symbol.  !!Clowns!!, however, you get the impression they're on fire of their own free, malicious, evil, will.

Also, much scarier if literally clowns.

Turns out I don't have enough time... Please remove me from the list. I would have liked so much to be a part of this. I will be following this though.

I'll take ott....'s spot.

I'm on EST though, and time zones seriously confuse me.  I'll start playing once I get the save and upload it once people start complaining!

Wow you people are fast. I just posted at a random time and you removed me from the list with a minute.

Nobody is currently in EST. The Eastern Time zone is currently in Daylight Savings Time. 12:00 midnight for you is 12:00 for me.


OTT: Just happened to refresh the forum.

Thank you!

As you see, time zones are not my forte.  It is what time my phone tells me it is.

Wow. This is the worst Play Now embark I've ever seen. Two fishermen, a jewler, and a woodcrafter. In a glacier.

EDIT: I'll be taking OTT's turn tomorrow. It is taking longer than I expected to get this fort ready to hand off.

Well seeing as I've never played a succession game, and have never even heard of the wasteland mod,  I think I'll take the 9th thank-you-very-much.  :D

EDIT: Does the no killing of vault dwellers rule include "unfortunate accidents" of Vault Overseers?

Yes, the no-murder rule includes "accidents." This is a pretty nice site. It's perfectly flat, so any megaprojects desired will be easy to build, and there's easily accessible ore and salvage in the cavern.

Journal of Shonus Numbershield, Jeweler


When we set out from the vault on this trding mission, I never thought that this would happen.

We have gotten lost, somehow coming across a featureless sheet of ice. The caravan leader

insists on pressing forward, but any fool can see that this is suicude. Our only chance is to

hole up here, dig down with the tools we brought for trading, and try to build up some more

supplies. Surely there must be rock beneath this ice, and we should be able to set up a

greenhouse down there.


Journal of Emperor Shonus I, Tyrant of Imsalaban

I now rule this place, which I have named Imsalaban. The others were not pleased with my

suggestion, but, as I have taken the sole ripper from our cargo, they had little choice but to

obey me. We have, as I suspected, reched rock beneath the ice. They are currently digging out an

office for me.

4 Hematite

Wonderful. We have found lead, gold and iron in large quantities. I see no need to excavate

large amounts yet, but merely finding them has elevated my position considerably.
