I think that's a +1 for Drunk Fortress. I'll add my +1 as well.

Lmao, HugoLuman. As I recall, you have to wait a month after it's nominated, so none of those votes count yet...

I will vote for three if I may
Spearbreakers
Dwarven...Childcare
If Bay Forum were a Mountianhome

It is my firm belief that these three will be used in Bay12's commitment hearing.

The fact Spearbreakers was included fills me with the pride a father must feel when he finds out his son finally did thier rite of passage and killed someone in battle.

Or I may be thinking of spartans or maybe DF players who's champion's son does that.

Busy month, so let's get to it!

Nominee: Deebus: A Kobold Story
Link: http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=106920.0

The story of the epicest kobold who ever lived. EVER. This is what you get when the only civs in a world are Kobolds. (yay crappy summary because I suck at summaries!)
http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=116045.0

Dwarf Fortress is often lauded as one of the most complicated games of all time. The interface is opaque, the learning curve a cliff. It's hard enough for experienced players to keep their forts safe and secure on the best of days.

So, what happens when a bunch of players play a succession fort while completely inebriated?

Drunk Fortress is a Dwarf Fortress succession game in which each player takes a turn playing while totally plastered. It's run on a "First Drunk First Serve" basis, in which whoever is consuming alcohol at the moment is the next player. As can be expected from such playing conditions, the fortress quickly became a labyrinthine mess of half-finished projects and forgotten passages, with magma leaking into the fort from every direction and hosting at least three tantrum spirals. And it is glorious. -TVtropes

Nominated! Drunk Fortress and The journey of Deebus, a kobold story will become eligible to receive votes in January.


I'd like to add a vote for CryptIrons.  The time spent crafting each story chapter into vivid imagery is well worthy of inclusion.
I'm also adding my +1 for Rimslaughter and Armok's Gauntlet in addition to my earlier vote for Rockfalls
I don't think I ever added a vote for "Dwarven... "Child Care"" - that thread is a de-facto legend even if it hasn't been inducted formally yet.  Definitely +1 for that.
I vote for Dwarven Child Care
I will vote for three if I may
Spearbreakers
Dwarven...Childcare
If Bay Forum were a Mountianhome

It is my firm belief that these three will be used in Bay12's commitment hearing.
and chalk one up for Einsteinian Roulette, where the newbies are raining textual hell on current destructive events. :P


Votes added! Dwarven... "Child Care" has been inducted into the Hall of Legends! *dadurrrr*


I vote for Spearbreakers.
Splint does too, but doesn't want to say it for his own thread.
Gonna vote for Spearbreakers.
A vote (and extra Mug) For Spearbreakers!!
Let the !!SCIENCE!! go on!
Vote for Spearbreakers. Amazing writers, great people, and interesting things happen there. Also Spawn of Holistic a la Mr Frog!
I have to vote for Spearbreakers honestly it is one of the best forts I have read in a while (the spawn help) and even without their help every single dwarf is ALREADY nuts.
I vote for Spearbreakers.
I vote for Spearbreakers as well, even though it probably already has enough to get into the Hall of Legends :p
Add another vote for Spearbreakers, just for good measure :-P

Adding one more vote to Spearbreakers.
ill join you on spearbreakers.
I vote for speakbreakers!
Ok. I think Spearbreakers has enough votes. Can we call it a day?

Spearbreakers has been inducted into the Hall of Legends! *dadurrr*


I've already voted for it, but seriously folks, check out Rockfalls the Depths of Volcanoes, it very much deserves induction.
Rockfalls is pretty cool. Giving it a vote.
+1 for Rockfalls from me :D
A vote for Rockfalls
+1 Rockfalls
+1 Rockfalls.
+1 Rockfalls, yo.
I'm adding a +1 for Rockfalls too.
Voting for rock falls as it is awesome!  Plus its an inspiration to other adventurous souls.  So yes, please induct.

Rockfalls the Depths of Volcanoes has been inducted into the Hall of Legends! *dadurrr*

Why is Facepalm moments in for votes? I want to vote for it but I'm just curious as to why.
I don't feel I have the right to vote for either Spearbreakers or Necrothreat, as I've played an extensive role in founding both, but I will give a vote to "Facepalm Moments You Had" - not that it'll make that much of a difference, having only one vote so far. :P I got a lot of great laughs from that thread.

Although "Facepalm Moments You Had" will fall victim to the cutoff date, I personally have no problem with stickied threads being inducted into the Hall.

Glazedcoast! is no longer active, and thus can be moved from the Active listing to Finished.

Amended!


Alright! A great many threads were pruned from the Nominee's list- if you feel like a thread deserves another year of Nomination, you can of course re-submit it. It will be treated as a new entry, however, and won't regain previous votes in addition to waiting through the standard one month candidacy period. This month, Hellcannon is in risk of being stricken from the Nominee's list. If you feel it is worth preserving, vote now!

C'mon folks, vote Hellcannon!  It just seems wrong that a fortress that lived at 0 population should die at 4 votes.

Ditto.

I mean Undead above ground AND below? How often does that happen?

Edit: +1 for Skyscrapes too. If that was real, it would be in at least the top 20 for the worlds tallest buildings. It's like Taipei 101 minus the top floor and the roof.

Haven't gotten around to reading Hellcannon yet, but I'll vote for Skyscrapes, for the sheer badassery of keeping aboveground construction consistent between years and players. Well, except when they didn't but Necromancers must piss themselves with envy at the great dwarven middle finger.

I'd feel stupid if I voted for my own thing, so I won't.

Actually, surviving at 0 pop? +1 for Hellcannon.
