Forum Games and Roleplaying / Thirteen Colonies Game
« on: January 30, 2013, 08:20:38 pm »
You are one of the thirteen (max unless a new colony is made or lost) delegates of the (fictional) colonies.  I am your king who has decided to grant you governing power.  If you displease me I will fire (from inactivity or otherwise) you (in the case of rebellion you can continue to wage war, though you will be hunted down) and rule your colony directly until a suitable replacement is found (yes that means new players can join).  The year is 1701 (turns take one year).  France to the North, Spain to the South, and Indians to the West (if you want a war, you must ask me, who might say no, I'll probably try to be as unreasonable as possible).  The people also have say and will have your heads if you try to rule like Sir Edmund Andros (represented by the RNG). 

To Join:
Colony Name:duh
Economy:What you produce; will decide whether North, South, or Middle. 
Name: governor's  name
Reason for colonization:Reason for colonization
In the case of independence, you get to make a new government represented by you (We will get to the 1800's even if I kill myself doing so)! 
!Update! quickly add why your people came to the colonies!
I'm taking names today, and I'm going to start tomorrow.  Maybe even with a MS Paint Map  ;D.

Life Advice / Keyboard problems windows 7
« on: October 29, 2012, 03:03:15 pm »
So, sometimes when I'm typing on my laptop, the keyboard (and mouse) will suddenly go into an odd mode where typing switches tabs.  I do not like that.  Usually I press left ctrl, but that is not working anymore.  Right control does not work too.  Space works and clicking highlights the entire url.  If i click on the url it will highlight, then if I press space, it will erase the url.  Backspace works only on spaces.  If I press "v" the url comes back.   To switch tabs in this mode I can press "h" or "f" and it will sometimes work.  Sometimes pressing o cause open.  Restarting fixes the problem, but I feel like I'm pressing a shortcut for something and want to know if you guys know what I'm doing and the solution.

DF General Discussion / A Use for Flight in Combat?
« on: August 21, 2010, 07:43:37 pm »
I was in arena mode playing with a mod when I figured out floating swords can fly.  I figured to fly above the enemy reptile man and go down on top of him, hitting him instead.  He could not attack back, but could counter-attack.

DF General Discussion / Under Water Trees?
« on: June 16, 2010, 05:26:02 pm »
In embark I found that it was heavily forested on ocean tiles in a surounding area.  The entire world has trees!  It probably is under ground trees.  It might be seaweed too.

DF Suggestions / Elvish Tree Houses!
« on: June 16, 2010, 02:33:41 pm »
The stupid tree huggers love trees so much, they might as well live in them.  It would also be good to make trees slightly taller and have branches and stuff.  Red woods would be four Z-Levels up ect ect ect...

DF Suggestions / Feudalism and civil war
« on: June 07, 2010, 03:38:39 pm »
Many Medieval governments were feudalistic, or had people owning land you gave them.  Kings could tax, request armies, and do much more with these provinces.  Dwarves could make a system like saying shops or land can be sold by the owner and built on off map.  Then the owners become counts or some other form of leader.  They are like dwarf forts.  Eventually the fort owners could rebel and create their own country.  The civil wars would be good right now maybe, and I don't expect the feudalistic idea for a while.  If this came up anywhere else then just delete the post.
