++FAQ++
+++++++When I start the game it stays as a black window!!
If the wait 20 second message disappears and the game does not load:
- Force close the slot
- restart the slot
- DO NOT PRESS ANY BUTTONS until the game loads
I cant connect!?
Check the top of this post and check the server status(online/offline)
If the server status is online: make sure you have the right port and IP entered(they are in the how do I play section)
Otherwise: please leave a post stating that you could not connect so I may look into the issue, thanks!
Is this a succession game?
Short answer: no.
Long answer: This game is hosted using DFterm2 an application made for the hosting of Dwarf Fortress over a Telnet client. Once you connect to the server you can connect to the game. I may occasionally put the world save up for those wishing to play from the save on their own.
What do I need to play?
And here is some extra information/links for the few curious dwarves out there.
Something I find interesting is that you do not actually need Dwarf Fortress to play, Also...Because I have a decent amount of memory dedicated to the game, Large World's/LARGE fortresses will run very well...even if you chose to play on that dinosaur you call a computer!
Also, for those interested in what DFterm2 is here is a link with more information
http://df.magmawiki.com/index.php/Utility:Dfterm2Instructions on how to play/join:
- Install Putty
- Use the IP: 24.17.202.151
- Make sure the port is 8000
- Connection Type is Telnet
- Under Window/Translation use UTF-8
- Connect and choose your desired username/password....post what your username on the forum and I will add you to the white-list so you can play/create some games!
Can I use graphic packs/fonts?
Yes!
Here is how:
(I did not create any of the graphic packs/fonts, but I uploaded them so you may install them)Graphic packs:
Provided by myself:

Provided by Putnam:
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/13790475/cootue_curses_square_16x16.ttf- Download the graphic packs/font
- Choose the graphics you wish to use(install it as a Font)
- When starting PuTTY go to the WINDOWS/Appearance setting and select the font you installed
- Play some dwarf fortress!
=======================================================================================
+++++++
+RULES+
+++++++- There are no turns
- Share play time
- No purposeful destruction of the fortress(unless approved by myself along with a majority vote)
- Do not delete the save...doing so results in permanent suspension from the server
- Invite others to join us! The more people we have the more games I'm willing to host!The more fun this can become!
- Use common sense and show some respect to other players!
- If someone is curious as to why or how you did something go to the chat and give an explanation, the more we work together the better the fortress will become....hopefully

A picture of our embark and a glimpse of how the server works!
As you can see chat is functional and game is playable!
[spoiler]
Our band of seven dwarves set out on a mighty journey. Crossing through the mighty deserts and over the snow-peaked mountains they finally found a place to call home.Only...this land they claim for themselves is already inhabited...by badgers!"We just crossed over the mountains! crawled through that darned desert and your gonna tell me I cant kill me some badgers!?" A furious Master screams! A dwarf without yet an official name whimpers a cry of "y-y-yes...". "We can make short work of these badgers, we outnumber them and I guarantee they will run!" Tylermon shouts at the troop.
Axes are gathered and the band of seven rush the badgers! With the poking of eyes and ripping of flesh the Boats of Manes emerge victorious!
"An easy battle, that all you badgers got!" shouts the dwarf with no name.
A rumbling is heard and the ground begins to tremble. Giant badgers appear from an eerie mist and our story comes to a bloody end...[/spoiler]

#The 2'nd Embark!!#

No screenies yet D:
Our second fort has grown considerably! Eager adventurers come from across the lands to test their might at defeating the skeletal yaks that roam the fortress halls!
Two such adventurers thought they could best these beasts....dwarven blood stains the halls to the underground river.
But do not fear for, the dwaven militia destroyed the beast without so much as a scratch!
this concludes the short overview of the fort....More detailed version to be typed up later but I haven't the time to type it now.=======================================================================================

++TEST WORLD++
++++++++++++++I have created a world that anyone may play on with no need of white-list so that you may play while waiting to be white-listed.
Use the same IP but when you join a game join the "Test" game.
