Ok we need to create a list of all the records that we should record.

Also, could we use the dfwiki as a homebase? I know there's gonna be alot of talk about which records are valid and what not so that could get messy.

2. create a committee which will judge the validity of records and to decide on records that that can't be expressed in numbers  (e.g. most awesome defenses)

A record that can't be expressed in numbers is not a record, because there is nothing to record. Recors are about measurable achievemnts.
"Most Awesome Defenses" is about art, and subject to personal taste.

I think we should still have those types of record because it would be awesome to try to break those kinds of records.  Also it would be pretty hard to cheat on making that kind of record.

Since it is subject to person taste I think we should make a committee made out of 7 members who will vote or maybe we will just have everyone vote with a poll or something.



These are the current record catagories i can think of:

Yes, I would be interested in starting the official Dwarf Fortress record book.

gandalf and a Dragon fighting while falling down an chasm.  The in the next wave of migrant you get a gandalf the white.  You'd also have to create a race of hobbits. They're similar to dwarfs but they require 6 meals a day.

It won't let me access his kill list for some reason.

I tell my 7 marksdwarfs to train with warhammers.  check back 10 minutes later, 6 dwarfs unconscious and one is just standing there triumphantly holding his legendary hammer. (i shouda checked this thread firts)

yeah you cant place up stairs and down stairs on the same tile unless you use up/down stairs
