SG5 - The Next Generation [Signup full for now]
« on: August 31, 2009, 05:07:41 am »

Abandon hope all ye who enter here.
There is still time turn back.
Go on. Get going, scram.

.
.
.


I see you didn't take my advice. Fool.
You were warned.
Welcome to SparkGear.



SparkGear is a special kind of succession fortress.
The standard format for a succession game is one game year per turn.
That assures that every player has an equal opportunity to play
and all that emasculated "we are all equal" shit.
This results in these games dragging out for fucking ever,
so I changed the rules a bit to remedy that.
Here we play for twenty-four hours. As much as you want.

Simple enough, yes?

THE RULES
(subject to change at any time)
(I know, I'm That Kind of dictator)

1) On your turn, you are king.
If you wanna savescum, do it.
If you wanna flood half the fort in magma, fine.
If the previous turn is late or unplayable,
you can revert to an older save. Whatever you like.
1.1) Only savescum if the entire fort is lost.
Ask for general consensus.

2) Turns are changed at 22 GMT.

3) Don't kill our FPS.
That means no massive exploratory mining
(having all that stone around FUCKING HURTS),
punch a hole in the ocean, et cetera.


4) The Fortress lasts for one month.

5) Don't charge the fucking orcs with untrained civilians. IT DOES NOT WORK.
We know. We tried.

6) Keep off-topic chatter off this thread.
It tends to get cluttered enough as it is. Use IRC for that, please.


IS THAT CLEAR LADIES?

Good.
One addendum, not an actual rule:
Please try to write up some coherent story
of what happened during your turn.
Pictures are a plus.
Good video gets you a point.


THE GAME
Spoiler (click to show/hide)

We're using the newest Dwarf Fortress test build (40d16) by default.
If for some reason this doesn't work for you, basic 40d is also available.
On top of this we've installed the Dig Deeper 1.3.
Combined, these make the SparkGear Edition DF.
I've prepackaged the game for you (hopefully it works this time).

DF SGE (40d16 with DD1.3)
DF SGE lite (40d with DD1.3)

Initial save

Now these are packaged in 7z because it's the best. If you have trouble with it, fuck off.

THE SITE

This time around we're playing in a terrifying jungle.
There is a magma pipe, sand, double aquifer, carp,
sturgeon and whatnot. No HFS, don't bother looking.
Anything else is anyone's guess.



I've affectionately called the place Phantom Spider Valley,
for reasons that will become clear later.

THE PLAYER SCORE TABLE

Unlike previous SGs, this time we'll have an actual player score list. It's just for fun, you can ignore it if it's not your thing.

The basic idea is that every turn you'll be given a final score from -3 to 3 based on your performance. We'll keep this running over several SG's unless it gets old. Maybe I'll give some medals or something to the best players.
(We'll also count partial turns if they last over six hours)

PlayerScoreN:o turns
Danarca+11



THE ASSISTANT ADMINISTRATORS
(also known as assmins)

Currently Demonic Spoon and Skaltum will be helping me out
with the administration of this trainwreck.

PM me if you want to help.

THE IRC CHANNEL

As a yet another new addition to SG, I'm opening das officielt irc channel. It's in irc.rizon.net, and called #Sparkgear. Come and idle with me.

New to IRC? No problem. Use this service and join #sparkgear.

If you wanna scream your suggestions to the current player in realtime, this is the place.

That last gobbo would stand there, missing an arm, punctured in a kidney, liver, and spleen, fading in and out of consciousness at the far end of where the drawbridge would go, and his last sight would be the drawbridge dropping down and smashing him like a bug.

God DAMN I love this game!
