Any stale/abandoned games looking for a player?
« on: November 14, 2014, 09:38:05 pm »

Curious if anyone has a succession embark they were fond of, but had been abandoned for lack of players.

I'd like to play.

Just look.  Most people dont mind if you jump into line.  Or look to start your own game.

Luckiest Tourist Ever has a few minigames in the save outside the eponymous original game.

I've actually been thinking of making a "world adoption thread" for worlds that people are bored with but don't want to delete.

You could find the Eternal Halls thread and necro it. That's it's express purpose, in fact.

I just found a barrel which contained a wheelbarrow. Inside the wheelbarrow was another barrel. I don't even understand how that is possible.

Well, we could use this thread as the 'pickup game' repository for orphaned forts.  Owners drop their games in here and passersby indicate their interest.
If ri0t would change the namein the OP title to reflect that

Cheesefurnace (34.xx) - It's about fortress with last living dwarves in world. It ended with me getting sick of so small number of players, so I flooded it with magma.
Functional save on page 11.

Edited to make clear what I wanted to say.

Yeah... sorry about that, the FPS was just way too slow and I had no idea what to do with the fort.

Original Poster hasn't visited here in over a year, so a new thread with an active OP would probably be a good idea.

Dwarf Fortress 0.40.13 is, I think, the latest version before the new emotion system came in. I'd be interested in updating it to that, sticking a tileset on and seeing if I can eliminate much of the FPS lag.

Looks like the last time it was necro-ed by Sizik, it only lasted one turn, however. :(
