The New Web of Pages

This is the spiritual successor to Webpaged.  Webpaged was a project in which we played Dwarf Fortress in a multiplayer sort of way; that is, you would "control" your Dwarves by suggesting things for them to do.  I am attempting to recreate that.

How to Play

• You pick the name and custom profession of your dwarf.
• You decide which labors your dwarves have activated, if they're in squads, burrows, etc.
• I try to follow your decisions to the T.  After all, you guys are the players!
• I will update once every 24 hours, or at least 48 hours.  Each update will be one season.
• If you do not post between two updates, I'll just try to keep doing what you were told to do last.
• Unnamed Dwarves are all "Urists".  Urists are my special defined job that has every single labor activate unless there is a specialist in that field.  That way we can have someone do carpentry even without a carpenter.
• If you guys have ideas for projects, lay it on me!  I'll do my best to follow your specs.

When migrants come, I will attempt to accommodate everyone who wants to join up.  Genders and Skills for immigrants are randomly generated, so I'll do my best to fit them, but don't expect a perfect match.  Here's the sign-up sheet:

[Rentorian]

Forum Name: Rentorian
Dwarf Name: Nergal
Gender: Male
Skills: Proficient Macedwarf, novice armor user, novice shield user, novice fighter, adequete dodger
Items: Copper mace, copper buckler
Personality Quirks: Believes that elves, goblins and humans are damaging the sky by walking on the surface so much and that they have to be killed before they damage the sky irreparably.  Spends as much time as he can underground in order to keep the sky from breaking.
Suggested Embark Site: Nothing really, just so long as I get steel armor and a silver mace
Suggested Version:  Don't care, .19 is more unexplored, both feature and bug-wise so using that presents more unknowns

I used all but 59 of the points you said we get so you can spend them on any food booze or items that we'll need.

[Babylon]

Forum Name: Babylon
Dwarf Name: Babylon
Gender: Don't care
Skills: Engraving, stone carving, bone carving
Items: don't care
Personality Quirks: likes making engravings and figurines which mock the site's history
Suggested Embark Site: somewhere flat
Suggested Version:  (.18 or .19?) .18  .19 looks like a big headache.

Custom profession, satirist.

[EvilFuzzy9]

Forum Name: EvilFuzzy9

Dwarf Name: Fuzzy the Evil Flirt

Gender: Male would be greatly preferred.

Skills: Spinning at novice; weaving, dyeing, and clothesmaking at competent, with shearing and planting activated after embarking.

Custom Profession: Fashion Lech.

Items: Three sheep: two ewes, and one ram. Any remaining points can be put into a bucket, pig tail seeds, and dimple cup spawn.

Personality Quirks: A somewhat lecherous cross-race womanizer who likes designing highly indecent clothing for men and women alike. Despite this, he is a shrewd businessdwarf with a keen sense of economics. He greatly dislikes getting his hands dirty needlessly and is far more likely to flirt with the enemy than fight.

Suggested Embark Site: Anywhere we can set up a workable textiles/clothing industry.

Suggested Version: .19, for wool and the ability to once more build farms on un-irrigated subterranea//n soil.

[Kipi]

Forum Name:Kipi
Dwarf Name:Kipi
Gender:Male
Skills:5 miner, 5 engraving
Items:copper pick, rest should go to booze and food.
Personality Quirks: Thinks that no dwarf should live outside. The deeper the better. He also likes to spend time in solitary, that's why he learned mining and engraving.
Suggested Embark Site: 3*3 should guarantee blue metal.
Suggested Version: .18. The latest version has some annoying bugs, and the lack of ores is too irritating now that the whole caravan arc has not been finished.

[Valrandir]

Forum Name: Valrandir
Dwarf Name: Doctor Valrandir
Gender: Male
Skills: Two points in each Healthcare skills, for a total of 10.
Items: A Red Dyed Pig Tail Cloak (In a squad with no orders, Inactive Uniformed).
Personality Quirks: Must take a bath before entering his room. Like soap. Must live near his Hospital.
Suggested Embark Site: Heavily forested 2x2 with a major river.
Suggested Version: 31.19

[plisskin]

Forum Name: Plisskin
Dwarf Name: Therleth
Gender: Don't care.
Skills: 3 Marksdwarf, 1 Knife User, 3 Weaponsmith, 3 Armorer. Should be on military duty as much as possible, but may only use a crossbow or a knife at any time. Should be Militia Commander unless there is a much more skilled migrant around.
Items: Soldier's gear, optimized for mobility over safety. Ammo, leather armor to start with and plenty of food and booze.
Personality Quirks: Hates goblins with a passion unrivaled and should try to leave none on the map alive unless taken prisoner, in which case will try to sneak into the pit and use them as live training. Secretly terrified of forgotten beasts, but hopes one day to help fell one. A Kobold sympathizer; should never be given an order to attack any Kobold thieves.
Suggested Embark Site: 2x2 with either iron ores or flux stone as close as possible to a goblin civ.
Suggested Version: .18 due to .19 being buggy and metal-dry, but ultimately no real preference.

PROJECT PLANS: A paratrooper deployment barracks built high over the land involving floor hatches that will drop soldiers to ground-level roofless deployment bunkers cushioned by piles of adorable fuzzy animals.

[squeakyReaper]

That's six foolish brave dwarves.  3 say .18, 2 say .19, so I'm probably going .18.  Sound good?

[Valrandir]

31.18 is fine.

In that case, switch my suggested sheep with cloth, thread, and extra pig tail and rope reed seeds.

Also need an idea for a fort name and group name.

[squeakyReaper]

I do not know what to say to that.  But uhh.  I think...  I think I'll wait for someone else to apply.  Just to keep my options open.

[Luftwaffle]

Noooo! Grizzle posted before me! Looks like we had the same thing in mind, though.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Forum Name: Luftwaffle
Dwarf Name: Scruffy McBoozebreath
Gender: Male
Skills: Liar 4, Persuader 3, Flatterer 2, Wrestler 1
Items: Black Bronze Flask, 6 Dwarven Rum
Personality Quirks: Likes to throw parties. Refuses to work. Admires statues for their chiseled features. Needs alcohol to get through the lazy day.
Suggested Embark Site: Something near a goblin nest sounds good.

[squeakyReaper]

That floats, I suppose.  You'll likely be our mayor.

I'll try to get people the gender they want.  I'll be writing the story from the perspective of the dwarves themselves, keeping a little journal-esque thing.  The personality will be derived from your generated profiles and your quirks.  I'll try and get the first upload done by today, with the embark area, character depictions and such.

With the extra 50 points, I'm going to be adding plump helmets and plump helmet seeds.  The "food" and "drink" you guys embark with will be the type your dwarf favors, unless they enjoy Sunshine or some elvish nonsense.
