Fortress Name: Lastrags (Randomly generated, perfectly fits the backstory no?)
The mission of this succession game is to not only create a massive successful fortress in hostile environments and forge an interesting story that will be remembered in the Hall of Legends. The main piece of the game will be simple. It starts in a dying world. The world is overrun with evil creatures that want nothing more to destroy what we call civilization.
It is a large, cruel, glorious, world. It is our world.
Our numbers are few now. The great dwarven civilizations of old have fallen to wars and great beasts. Our small band goes forth from our warm mountain homes to forge a new dwarven kingdom. We must retake what is ours, our wealth, our power, and most importantly, our booze!
In essecence the fortress is supposed to kill most of the notable beasts in the world and create a new age of civilizations etc etc.
We'll need a team of highly experienced dwarf fortress players to take a year's worth of play up.
This could end up a very long game, so I MAY allow people more than one turn as long as it's not directly after their first turn. Now I am not an expert at DF.
I don't even know if this idea of mine is possible. But it should be 'fun' to try it out.
If you're interested in a slot simply post below with the desired slot #. I have ultimate authority in moving people around, and if you don't like it, tough shit.
I don't WANT to save scum, but if griefers/trolls abound who won't follow the intended path of the fortress, then we will. Again, it's ultimately my decision.
Before Play: When it gets to your turn you'll get a PM with a link to the Dwarf Fortress File Depot so you can download the latest save compressed a la WinRAR.
You'll simply unzip it into DF/data and begin where the other person left off.
After Play: When your turn ends, you will similarly compress the save folder in your DF a la WinRAR and upload it via an account on DFFD.
You'll then PM the link to the download page to the next person who's after you.
Pretty simple, but if any screw ups happen or I'm incorrect in any of the above (I'm no expert mind you), then please shoot me a PM and I'll attempt to fix the issue.
During Play: I expect you to be able to write a comprehensible 'journal' about the year you played. Each season, just so you remember all the details, I suggest you write it up and post part of your journal. Then simply modify the post as time progresses. Please write it from your dwarf's perspective, add a bit of personality and humor if you can, and make it interesting. Pictures will earn you bonus points. By the end of the game I'll pick the best year's entry and give them all sorts of lovely prizes. (You win! You get nothing!)
