Researches : should we get a common plan on what to research, or should we have the player deciding on his turn for himself, even if his own goal may not go along the previous player one (though without being allowed to disable the previous player still ongoing brainer assignement) ?
I would prefer no common plan to add some chaotic fun.

Looks mostly fine, although maybe "no changing previous assignments" need obvious rule patch of not purposefully and malaciously spreading not quite numerous brainers over hugest projects available just at the end of the turn? I honestly don't remember research times and if this would be an issue.

Ah, yes, forgot most important thing - what will be starting base's location and name? Although first probably doesn't matter unless we place it in desert\jungle\antarctica. Temperature effects are murder at the beginning.

Starting story, diligently censored.

So, "inspired" (i didn't actually read it, maybe there is nothing inspiring in it after all  )by this thing, we are making X-piratez succession game. If someone doesn't know, X-piratez is a mod for OpenXcom, which is mod\modern system compatibility patch for ye olde UFO: Enemy unknown. It's totally amazing, so if you like UFO, are not put off by boobs (and disappropiately hideous actual soldiers in game) galore, constantly trying to find useful and usable stuff among mountains of pointless trash-weaponry and obscenely long time needed to finish single playtrough, try it.

Installation:
1. Download the mod from the main thread.
2. Download vanilla game.
3. Put vanilla game files in UFO folder in mod folder, so it will be like "Dioxine_XPiratez\UFO\GAME_1 or whatever"

Rules:
Difficulty - ironman, because saveloading in succession games is stupid. Either 3 or 4. 3 was Enough for me when i played first, but i'm not that great at it and my playstile would make munchkins cringe, so maybe 4 would be just fine for them. Then again, ironman.
Turn is either 2 in-game month or up to 1 real time week long (can be changed as needed). Rest is standart for succession games, "dwarfings" included.
No screens of naked boobs. And naked arses too (that are not part of in-battle units  ). Because The Rules. No one can defy The Rules.
Deciding on important choices (Males Y\N, Codex color, Torturing Dr x Y\N) - up to debate for now.
No selling menacing hull\small drill, they are damn important. But i'm pretty sure everyone knows that already.

Turnlist:
MCreeper 1 2 SAVE
Iduno 1 2 We already lost.
Rolan7 1 2 But we still kick arse
Robsoie 1 SAVE
Rince Wind 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 SAVE
MCreeper Fucking disaster
Iduno 1 2 SAVE
Rolan 7 1 2 3 4 SAVE
EuchreJack 1 2 3 4 5 6 SAVE
Robsoie 1 2 3 4 SAVE
Rincewind 1 2 3 4 5 SAVE
Iduno 1 2 3 4 5 SAVE
Rolan7 1 2 3 SAVE
Robsoie 1 2 3 4 SAVE

Looks like there are too many people signed up already. One-two month each, you say? Damn it, "waiting for admin approval".

Solitarian, out of interest, what FPS it was for you? For me it was around 17.

Those horse familiars reminded me...

EDIT: amazing comment: "Hey, president, don't chase after money, say all like it is, without lies."

Did anyone pick this up? Blackchibisan hasn't been on forums since May.

Got it, but don't know if it's great yet, played only 1.5 quests so far and put it on backburner. Only variativity i seen so far is a choice between concluding that murderer acted under influence of chtuluhtus\on his own and sparing\giving him away, with you recieving thanks note from him if you spare him.
PTW. 

For those that played as them more than i did: how they would play in succession game? I didn't really played much as them and do not understand even third of mechanics, and know that:
1. There is only two mugrant waves and no caravans, then you must (apparently somewhat buggily) make zombies.
2. (some) Zombies can only eat meat, wherever you would get it.
3. Everyone hates your guts and constantly sieges and ambushes you, and first siege is on the first autumn.
4. All warlocks look exactly same and have exactly same character, but that can be ignored. 
5. They can summon sieges if there are not enough of them and trade corpses(souls?) for resources.
Actually i get an urge to start masterwork dwarves game instead just by remembering their magic, and i think it would be better, but for a change, in theory maybe in parralel?
