the suggestion forum is generally regarded as an acceptable location for thread necromancy, unless the thread's locked

I've seen people get flak for not using the search function, and then later get flak for necro-ing a 9month old thread.

While real-time multiplayer is impossible for the obvious reasons, Dwarf Fortress could have some kind of 'server-mediated-succession-games'.

People could register into a succession fort on a small B12 server with a name and email address, the server would generate a world and email the folder to the first person on the list to play out his one year turn within something like a week or so.
After he has finished his turn he'd send the folder back to the server, or (and this is very wishful thinking) the Dwarf Fort client could be given email capabilities so it can automatically save after the turn ends and send the world back to the server.
If a player fails to complete his turn within a set time, the previous world in the succession game would be sent to the next player.

All in all, a server could do much of the organizing within succession games.

I have the feeling that everything is planned
What makes you think that?

The closest we can come to multi-player in Dwarf Fortress are succession games.

I think the solution to this all would be to scale experience gain with the difficulty of making a hit and the risk of being hit.
Because hitting an stationary target 100 times is much easier and should net much less experience than going toe-to-toe with a skilled fighter that's actively trying to murder you.

It would also fix the "danger room" exploit. As those rooms are designed around exposing your dorf to large amounts of easy to dodge, low damage attacks.

Aren't succession games technically "multi-player"?

One time i was the victim of a pretty bad goblin siege but i didn't want to lose my Fort, so i turned the goblins into kittens.

Will the bickering between villages be noticeable at all in Dwarf Mode?
Like refugees from occupied towns or something?

Some time ago we had a discussion about classical monster and, in particular, Wendigoes and the ways to become one.
In it, CLC made a case about people becoming monsters after breaking a cultural- or religious taboo. I can totally see this applying to night trolls.
And that way every culture can have it's own night trolls and it's own ways to become one.
Elves, for instance, could be turned into ents if they break their taboo on cutting down trees.

So far the only way to heal nerve damage is to get chewed on by a werecreature.

What i'd like to see is a creature's tolerance for alcohol being proportional to the size of their liver.

Once religion gets fleshed out i can totally see stuff like that become holy sites and have temples constructed on/near them.
