You people are entirely missing the point of this thread. Hellcannon has not done anything to earn the title of legendary yet. We didn't even have any major tantrum spirals yet for crying out loud!

To help with organization you should post reclaims and sequels directly below the first one....

Just saying.

Too soon.
Wait until mine and Eric's turns come up. Then there will be reason for nomination.

Mostly because it will end abrupty, in violence.

But it is far too soon to nominate Hellcannon in the Hall of Legends. Hell, it could go down with not but a fizzle of further interest, and then each successive fortress would be subsequently less likely to achieve the prerequisite awesomeness to get into the Hall of Legends. Like a rock skipping across a pond: how many leaps could it make, as once it dips below the surface it can never return?

The stroytelling doesn't add a whole lot, though. Are we looking for more of a plot or storytelling in the sense of relating actual events to the reader, and to one-another? Properly summarizing and dressing up the events for readers' eyes is one thing, but pushing too far for plot or meaning could cause the whole experience to unravel simply because there is no meaning to Dwarf Fortress, only chaos and fabrications.
I don't see AlanL on the turn list, and he may well be the only one capable of pulling it off.
I vote for Kobold Quest I and II. I don't care if they're already on there, we need more excuses not to remove them!

This is tangentially off topic, but has AlanL created any stories not yet on the Hall of Legends?

I vote for Hellcannon (Succession: Battlefailed 3) http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=96005.0.

Chalk one up for me.
Putting in another vote for HellCannon.
Most definitely a vote for HellCannon, because after all, I got dorfed!

Votes added, though may I quote the OP...

Please use discretion- this is an intelligent, witty community, and the number of tales worth reading is innumerable, and beyond the scope of this thread. The Hall of Legends is for the tales that must be read.

Yep, that's it right there. Vote added.

Nominating Cyberdorf Systems: Dwarfputing an AI:

SO. I don't know if this is all going to lead to a functioning A.I, but at the very least when the above is installed and everything linked up, I will have essentially made the very first dwarfputed notepad. Hurray!

It's only just beginning, and it's already done something new.
I'm gonna second that.
I third this.
Fourth'd.
Sixth'd.
Five'ing it from the future.

Cyberdorf Systems: Dwarfputing an AI has been inducted into the Hall of Legends! *dadurrr!*

I'll vote Severedcoils and The Legend of Lagdon. I love the originality of Severedcoils (killing nobles?) and The Legend of Lagdon is epic.

monk12, would you mind a quick edit to the Checkerboard reference?  Could you change it to "ThatAussieGuy kills the clown car with a boardgame, and then goes on to build a town in Hell in the same thread"? Turns out there's another forumite with a surprisingly similar name.

Monk. You're going to have to remove Legend of Lagdon. Compoundoverkillcornbread, haezel, and thechosenone456 are all the same person. Also, the guy was banned for trolling.
