Ok, let's get this straight. kali tried this, and fucking failed. i am trying a new one. What is it? The great dwarf fortress event is a massive forum undertaking that includes a group of people all sharing one fortress, taking shifts. One of the most popular event such as this is known as "Boatmurdered", where the SomethingAwful forums made a fort that included doomsday weapons, elephant wars and eventually ended in a giant tantrum spiral. How does it work? We have a waiting list of people waiting to take a shift. These people will go one-by-one to manage the fortress for a set time. At the end of a shift the current owner will upload the save file to 2 places: The creator- for archiving purposes in case shit hits the fan and we need to reload, and to the next in line, i don't think i need to explain why. The area will be chosen depending on what people want. Rules: 1. game time- 1 year 2. limit in which to complete shift- 1 week 3. challenges or restrictions- none 4. document your time managing the fort in this thread. 5. no intentional damage to the fort, any one breaking this rule will forfeit their next turn. Other rules will be added as needed and will be updated in time. Waiting list: (*subject to change) 1. @greatmustachio 2. @Kali 3. @Karakoran 4. @Big Brother 5. @DaViktor 6. @Inquisitor 7. More places added as needed and will be updated probable participants (direct interest not fully shown) @Jack118 Region status- not yet chosen Embark point status- not yet chosen Start-up player- will be nominated as our best player Feel free to leave: 1. your participation 2. preferred region and embark characteristics 3. any mod suggestions . . . 4. anything else!
Any DF event is a good event. Not in because I only play Adventure mode since I love me some adventure and having my char brutally murdered but this is a good idea.
I wish I knew how to play fortress mode better, I only play adventure mode. It is at least good that you create an event, because the awesomeness of rougelikes should spread to everyone.
You really don't know it? oO Wow.... okay, here it goes: DF is basically a Sandbox Game, in which you start of as a group of 7 dwarfs (no joke) and build a fortress. It is hard to learn, totally frustrating at times, but a lot of fun. The game is originally in ASCII "graphics", but there are graphic packs. You can get the latest edition HERE! Also, you might want to check out some youtube videos, I like this one a lot! EDIT: It is a serious of videos, kind of tutorial like.... Alos, the DF Wiki is quite good. EDIT2: Also, @theteremaster you are welcome! xD
I have literally no idea how to do anything in the game and every attempt I have made has ended in my dwarfs dying of thirst. Sign me up!
I would sign up, but my computer sucks so anything past 50 dwarves is extremely low fps. I would like a dwarf named after me and for him to be involved in !!science!! Armok watch over you all!
