+1, though it'll probably get stolen by the keas.

[draeath]

Two bad links that I noticed, under Community Forts. Here's the correct links:
Pirates of the Fondled Waters
All Dwarves Are Bastards

Looks like some URL syntax changes, but the topic ID numbers were good. Links could use a good going through, making repairs as needed.

+1 for Tholtig, that story makes me feel.

+1 Tholtig.

Nominating my own story which has been really well-received so far: "How parrots ruined my fortress: Shocking coordination edition" http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=155275.45

+1, though it'll probably get stolen by the keas.

Nominated and voted for!

Just noticed that 'Bacon Like A Pro' has made the nominees.  Big +1 on that.

+1 to bacon

+1 Bacon

Votes added! Bacon like a pro has been inducted into the Hall of Legends! *dadurrr*

How is Bacon like a Pro not already in the HoF?
+1 to bacon.

On a related note and with all the fuss about dwarf libraries and books lately, I'm nominating Dwarven Academy of Science: The New Knowledge Center for the Hall of Fame. A compendium of community research and science projects, with a bevy of creative and innovative research and findings that push the frontiers of dwarven science and technology. Recommended reading and a good reference point for any dwarven mad scientist.

I just wish it was more up to date, but it is still relevant.

Just wanted to say that the current summary of Doomforests doesn't do it as much justice as it could, so I wrote this:

Doomforests is a hilarious and tragic tale of Forgotten Beasts killing dwarves, Forgotten Beasts killing other Forgotten Beasts, soap worshipers, wars between occult sects, an inquisition, a rutile hat, and a friendly goblin who has seen more tragedies than any living dwarf. Doomforests is, and forever will be, a clusterfuck of ideologies, buildings, hallways, strip mines, hallways, offices, and hallways that will continue to grow until each and every dwarf in the fortress eventually dies. And sometimes, dies again. Abnormality is so commonplace that there may as well be no such thing.

Right. +1 Doomforests. It's really all about the writing the members do, especially as FPS problems have reared their ugly heads, the community has done a lot to fill in any gaps.

Somebody correct me if I'm wrong, but I do not see OceanShoots in the list.  If it is not, I would like to formally nominate this amazing (if apparently over-looked) bit of Dwarven Engineering; http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=101795.0

Nominated!

I'm just gonna sidle in here and nominate Breadbowl: a Succession Farm.

An aboveground farming-based fort which exports each and every ounce of food whenever a caravan stopped by, Breadbowl soon became menaced by goblins, titans, and worst of all, Giant Hamsters.

I'll second Breadbowl.

It should be Giant Hamsters, though.

Yeah, sure, Breadbowl +1

Nominated and votes added!

So Gemclod is gone for now. Anybody have an archive?
Edit
This'll have to do
Not sure if it's missing anything though.

The Gemclod link in the first post of this thread needs an update: http://gregshort.net/goondorfs/gemclod/index.html

Link fixed!

'Epic Adventure At The Dawn Of Time' should be moved to Finished/Abandoned.

Updated!

A bit old by this point, but I've gone back and fixed all the image links for Journey of Deebus.

Appreciated!

Fine.

Necrothreat III: A land in which the forces of Ur and Armok once more ravage the land. So far, we have seen the undead Thread Zombies attack the last bastion of Forumites. Sprin, the evil doctor of the fort, has lost his beloved Jenny in a terrible accident - his thirst for blood knows no bounds. The man we thought would tear the fortress down brick by brick instead builds it up again, the tears of the Threadromancers his mortar. This is a fortress of fire, of blood and death. And, ultimately, of hope. For the stout Forumites are not accustomed to yielding to fate.

add necrothreat iii to this. it deserves it.

Its a little early, but I'll second it

Thirded.

Fourthed.

Fifthed

Firsted

It's past a month, I believe?

+1, becuase I forgot about this

+1

Nominated, votes added, and inducted! Necrothreat III has been inducted into the Hall of Legend! *dadurrr*



With that final update, I feel it is time for me to pass the torch as curator of the Hall of Legends. It's been more than 5 months since the last time I found time for an update, and not only is that not a pace I expect to improve upon going forward, it's unacceptable for this thread and this forum. I've had a good run, but it's time for someone more involved to step up.

If you're interested in volunteering to manage the Hall of Legends going forward, speak up!

And so comes the passing of an era. Monk's Hall, 2011-2016. You will be missed. Still, I'd like to point out that Doomforests is a Succession Fort, not a Community Game .

Glad and surprised that Breadbowl is up for nomination, though being one of its overseers it'd probably be in bad taste if I were to add my vote. All I can say is that it's a different sort of tale - one of daily life and struggles, rather than that of spiraling insanity and chaos (at least so far).

Obviously you've failed to notice the hamsters...

That's why I decided to nominate before my turn came up. 

[highmax28]

I'm TEMPTED to take on the torch, as I am on quite regularly, but I don't think I fully understand the formula... If you think the job is easy but just takes time, then I will step forward

[NAV]

I'm willing to volunteer. Already have some experience running the RTD hall.

+1 Breadbowl - I re-read it for all those times I wasted playing Farmville in FB.

The only reason the more rigid process exists is because of the enthusiasm that sprang up when I took over the thread those years ago, and little bits to make managing that process a bit easier on myself. It's the kind of thing that could be safely amended or removed at the discretion of the new curator, I think.

I'm willing to volunteer. Already have some experience running the RTD hall.

I do respect the work you've done taking over that thread, and I know the Hall will enjoy further years of Legends in your capable hands. Let me know when you've got the new thread set up to your satisfaction, and I'll lock this one and we can pm Toady about the sticky swap.

[TheBiggerFish]

Buh...

Post the link here first.

[Immortal-D]

I was going to volunteer to carry on, but I think we're in good hands   That said, the newly inducted Bacon currently links to 'All Dwarfs Are Bastards'.

[TD1]

Yes. Yes it does. And is not all as it should be?

[NAV]

The new thread is up.
Thanks for doing such a great job Monk12.

[monk12]

You heard the man, everybody- all aboard the new thread! I've shot Toady a pm about swapping the stickies; once that's resolved I'll lock this thread to prevent confusion/necromancy.

Thank you, good luck, and good night.
