-FireBridges- 1 hour Succession (FUN ensured)
« on: July 16, 2010, 02:17:47 pm »

I have looked around and played some succession games.
While playing is fun. There is little reason to follow a thread after you have finished excpet to see how you screwed over somebody else.
Even if your down for another go it will usually 2 months for your 2nd go.

What I am proposing is a succesion where you get 1 hour for your entire go.
We will organise it so everybody knows when to be on. This will not be a half-baked idea. It will be done to the T.

40d Mayday Package



Note: This will not be starting now. It will probably take a few days planning. But try to nab a spot now as I'm sure people will be interested.

I suggest we change 1 hour to 30 minutes for true chaos

See I thought that but the 1 hour includes:
15 minutes save pickuptime.
30 minutes of play
15 minutes of brief write up

But i suppose that 30 minutes whould work.
I'll put it to vote.
You can decide people
1 hour OR 30 minutes OR (for extra hardcore) 15 minutes

 :o

15 minutes is what it would take for me to load the game...
I'd say 30 minutes is 1337 enough. Well, I guess if you have a good machine then 15 works too.

1 hour. There should be daily breaks in the wee hours, else turns be missed. Also, 1 season cap. You can't make a good write up for any more than a season in 15 minutes.

I think it is safe to say 1 hour is the winner.
Also i take it everybody here would like to have a go, am I correct?
I'm adding everybody here to the list but if you want to be removed inform me.

What is the schedule? We should measure it in GMT, because that is the standard. Or take a poll and see what comes up.

@Breadbocks
I was just writing it up. when you posted :P

Ok,
This can either start tommorrow at 0:00 forum time.
Or at just about any time in 6 days time. Although I may be having a social life then due to the start of the summer holidays.
So i'll make the decision this time and I will start tommorrow. Call all your DF veteran friends. This will be a fort to remember.
Nobody shall forget us! I will choose a haunted embark location. 40d Mayday Package.
In all of craftdwarfship it will be the lowest of qualilty, it menacnes with Fun and is studed with tantrum spirals. It has bands of insanity and is made from pure stupidity.
