Caution: Due to implementation inflexibility the poll has been moved HERE.


So I had this idea, see?

In almost every greater succession or community fortress, the people were talking about some alternate timelines. I've decided to weaponize this idea.

I present to you a new kind of succession game:

The Quantum Evolution Succession Metafortress

The Rules:

A single embark will be has been generated by me, some kind of evil region in vanilla DF.

Everyone who wants to join in can do so. Download the save linked up on the first post only. You are allowed to play one single game year. Then you upload your save on DFFD, post a few posts here in which you accurately describe (with optional narration) exactly what you achieved, and hope for many votes, because:

At the end of every two weeks (or after at least four different timelines exist, whichever takes longer) I will allow no more timelines to be posted. I will set up a poll that lasts three days. You are allowed to vote for your favorite current timeline. The timeline with the most votes will be set up on the first page and will be available for the next round.

To give other people a chance too, people whose timeline was elected may not participate in the next year. Well, actually they can, but they can't be voted for again.

On the topic of dwarfings:

For consistency, you (the players) are only allowed to (and have to) name dwarves with the names given in the list below under the current year. I will scan through the thread after every poll and collect all names undwarfed.

For clarity, all future dwarfing requests shall be written in Lime Green.


If you want to participate, then participate. Download the save down there and start playing, everyone at the same time. Please make an announcement in blue when you're starting to play.
Always remember: You want to make a contribution to the QESM, so be as dwarfy as possible to get lots of votes!


Have Fun.

Reserved for later use.

[MagmaMcFry]

Also reserved.

[NobodyPro]

This idea is great. I like the concept of parallel worlds where your dwarf could be dead or mayor or insane. Count me in for a dwarf and a year.

[MagmaMcFry]

Generated a new world, found a great embark at once:



Link is in the first post.

Also, NobodyPro, you can start playing already.

[Iced]

This is an awesome idea, sign me up.

now to begin thinking of quick, extravagant things........

[Musashi]

Awesome idea! 
Too bad I don't really have the time or discipline to play succession fortresses, but I'll keep an eye on it. May I ask to be dwarfed? As long as the dwarf is female, I'll be happy.

[MagmaMcFry]

This is an awesome idea, sign me up.

Just go play, I'll collect the timelines at voting time.

[Iced]

Every Dwarf is female besides Magma.

My god, these skill sets are AWFUL! did you make these Magma'? why on earth is everyone novice in all their skills? most dwarves have 1 - 2 skills, maybe 3 at most, while the woodcutter (I believe) covers all other areas!


I don't intend to make 12 of these, I just thought I'd play a bit before I went to sleep.


1st 'Whatever the first month is' - 1st slate

***************

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

A location for the entance is scouted out, and is about to be constructed when NobodyPro comes running back with reports of a horrible rotting cat moving about the hills. this is quickly identified as a Skeletal cougar.

Despite his desire to work quickly the wise handsome and strong leader, Iced decides to see the the defense.

A quick wooden palisade is erected, while it will not do much good against any determined attacker it does give some piece of mind.


Bellow the wagon a tunnel is being built, serving both as a temporary base and as a alternate route to the intended area.


The cougar is getting dangerously close now, luckily the areas beneath the soil are rich in Obsidian. The contraction of some weaponry is ordered, if worse comes to worse every dwarf is expected to do their duty.



The decision proves timely as, just a few days later the foul cat decided to try it's luck.

It is however, even with deathly resistance, no match for the children of Armok. The horrific fiend is quickly slain, the kill awarded to Musashi. (sorry about the lack of cougar in the screen-shot, it's under on of the dwarves.


Realising that we may have to stay here for some time, a meeting hall and food storage is orderd to be mined, mainly to keep the dwarves of the surface more than anything.

A tunnel to the desired fortress location also begins, if we can't mine from above, we will come from below!

***************

I did do more than this, such as a couple more workshops with the first 2, but it's pretty inconsequential.

[Urist Imiknorris]

Was it a "play now" embark?

[MagmaMcFry]

Yes, that was a 'play now' embark. You know, they're better than peasants, and I never really see why you should be able to choose your stuff. It's not as if the dwarves were going on holiday, you know? Also, I wanted the evolution 'seed' to be as generic as possible. And if you're asking, evil is generic.


And Iced, as I mentioned in the topmost post, you shouldn't have named the dwarves already. After every vote, I'll collect all the dwarfing requests that were posted since the last vote and put 'em up next to the link for the winning save. Then you can name them. Otherwise you'd go batty with all the inconsequent and inconsistent random naming.

But I still really appreciate being the only male 

[Di]

Could I be dwarfed. In the second year as rules are of course.
This parallel dwarfing should be really hilarious. In one world dwarf can be a legendary whipmaster and in other say potash maker.

edit: color added.

[Levi]

Heh, this is a nice idea.  I look forward to seeing the results.

True, but please highlight your message green next time. Also, in the third year, all your alternate incarnations will be potash makers!

Requesting quantum dwarfing !
