Bay 12 Games Forum

I think we're the only ones left.

We still need those last two dwarves.

But magma can be a source of defense! Also, a hilarious tool used to kill mayorfolk.

So far:
Water source
Magma?
No aquifiers
Special territory (Haunted, sinister, something with very few trees)
Access to good ore (Mountainous is usually good for that)

Oh, hey, we're going to need a way we can all chat with each other quickly. The forums will be used to post the LONG THINGS, while the chat would be to do the vote, decide the location, small things.

You'd have an IRL two-week time limit to post the diary, by the way, before being 'Posessed by unknown forces', as it were.

What'll happen is this:

We'll need seven people in total, one for each of the starting dwarves, counting myself. What this game is basically a Bloodline game, but instead of the baton being passed on once, we basically play Hot Potato with it.

The first year, the designated leader shall play a year, before posting his situation to everyone else via diary and pictures.

What each of the seven people will do is offer what to do next: I.E. 'build more farms and create a defense', 'ignore defense entirely', 'create a military', etc. The seven people then vote for which idea they like best, and the creator of the idea is then the leader. You cannot vote for yourself, obviously.

In cases of a tie, there is a re-vote between the tie-ers.

Anyway:

DWARF 1 - Flok Speargrabber (Job: Noble, Farmer, Fisherdwarf, or Blacksmith, depending on what we need)
DWARF 2 - Tinker (Job: Carpenter/Building Designer)
DWARF 3 - Ganndd (Job: Marksman / Animal Trainer)
DWARF 4 - Xgamer4 (Job: Herbalist. Does this include Farmer?)
DWARF 5 - Mzbundifund (Job: Mason / Mechanic)
DWARF 6 -
DWARF 7 -

edit: If you're going to apply, make sure you have a personality in mind for your character. If you want an idea of what kind of character to make, read Boatmurdered: http://fromearth.net/LetsPlay/Boatmurdered/

New players are welcome. Please try to refrain from running the game into the ground, though.

UPDATE:
Since we're starting to get going, we should decide on an initial player, the starting location, and what have you.
No cheats, post screenshots, post IC diaries. Press z to see a date, so you can keep an accurate journal.
Also, post links to the saves here, so people outside the seven can pick up the game from that point.

Now, if we exceed the seven, there's still hope. People will drop out, be busy, or give up. This means the next person replaces them, and we all vote on who's next while reverting to the last save.
