The new F.O.R.T. thread is here: http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=87099.0

The new thread owner will be doing a bit more work maintaining activity lists than I felt comfortable setting myself up for doing.








There are quite a few active games going on, and it's not always obvious what's open and what's not.

If your game needs overseers, post here with a link to your game thread, and a description of what mods are required if any.

The size of the world and the size of the embark would also be good, to allow people to have an idea of how their machines will perform.

I'll start it off:

Foldedlens - 1 year turns.  No mods version 31.25

17x17 small region world
4x4 temperate wilderness embark on volcano and river

Are you looking for more, do you need someone to fill in?

[Conan]

I suggest renaming topic:

"Fortress Overseer Recruitment Thread - F.O.R.T."

Anyways...

Daggerfaints: World Gen and Embark Location in thread

"Fortress Overseer Recruitment Thread - F.O.R.T."

Haha!

It shall be done!

[Conan]

Now all we need is people to post on this topic, or get it stickey'd

[futility]

Must say, fantastic idea.  I may be posting a game here before too long.

[Conan]

Argh, nobody's posting here 

Advertising time?

*advertises*

Come to Watercloistered, an island volcano.

Great for newbs who don't want to deal with sieges.

Not so great for people whose computers can't handle a 6x6 embark (which is a lot apparently???????? i didn't know that whoops)

(this thread is the best idea, by the way)

OP needs to maintain a list of everyone's requests and their status.

No - I'm not setting myself up to herd cats.

I was imagining this to be a sort of bulletin board, where people could post when they need people, and where people could come and look at the most recent posts to see what games need overseers.

I'd like to see it get stickied, but don't mind bumping it a bit now and then if it doesn't get stickied.  If it ends up being popular, then there won't be much need for stickyness.

[Conan]

However, how many people want to scroll down a page or go through pages to find a fort to their liking?

If you don't want to micromanage I can. I find this board reaaalllyyyy slooowwww.

If you want to remake a new thread with the same name and micromanage it that's fine - I'll rename this thread and ask for locking so it doesn't get confuzzled with the one you micromanage.

EDIT: Topic up, merging quotes over. Don't lock just yet.

[Conan]

Now you can lock.

Great idea, btw. I'll give you credit on my thread.
