That could be acomplished with the multiplayer servers. I support that idea.

And in reply to OP, I'd either be a chef or a mechanic. Both I am fond and good at.

EDIT: I'll create a simple thread for the idea mentioned earlier.

I think elevating Threetoe and ToadyOne to deity status would make sense.

they are not deities, they are creators, stop lumping them with inferior creatures.

Huh. I just got an idea.

What if we hold a 'live fortress', where nominated bay12 forumites* would get on a live stream and all work together on building a fortress. One person would be designated for actually running it at any one point, and the rest watch and give ideas.

*Or some other method of choosing players. Obviously, not everybody that wants to do it could participate.


We could have a simple but difficult goal - something like growing 100 strawberries on the floor of the circus while becoming the mountainhome in the shortest amount of time possible. That would probably be very educational for watchers, and fun for the players.

Ideas? Yay/Neigh?

Hmmm... Sounds like a livestream succession fort. I dunno, that's a bit harder to record and kinda lacks the storytelling quality. Still sounds fun, though.

I think elevating Threetoe and ToadyOne to deity status would make sense. I could just imagine them going around bestowing *gifts* like vampirism and were-fluffballs for shits and giggles :P
This I support wholeheartedly. Long live the gods of The Twelfth Bay! We've never been in for a more Fun time!


I'm probably the miner who winds up digging himself into a stuck spot 10 z-levels up in a newb's fortress where he attempted to channel straight down in a large square, 15 z-levels in height... I'll survive, though, when I stupidly dig out the marble beneath me - I'll land with a soft bump on the head of some random person, all the way down. Though stunned, I'll survive. I feel bad for the random dwarf, though. At least I'm not that heavy, right?

Weird Joykill has begin a mysterious construction!

...

Weird Joykill has created StatueRiot, the refusal of cheeses, a crystal glass statue!

L,

Statueriot, the refusal of cheeses

This is a masterfully made crystal glass statue of Loud Whispers. All artwork is of the highest
quality. Loud whispers is being pelted with cheeses. The artwork relates to the absurd mandate for slade statues of cheeses by the mayor Loud Whispers in the spring of 2012. On the item is an image of goblins and magma in copper.  The goblins are on fire. On the object is an image of loud whispers and elves in jade.  Loud whispers is kissing the elves. The image relates to the secret tryst of loud whispers with the elf buxxomia thong leathers in the spring of 2012. On the ite is an image of trees in highwood.  The trees are burning.  The image relates to the ecological devistation of the elven retreat of oolongipoop by the erupting volcano at boat murdered. On the item is an image of carp and a dwarven baby in cat bone. The carp are eating the baby.

I'd probably have the skills:

Building Designer (architect labor)
Organizer
Record Keeper
Mechanic
Siege Engineer
Siege Operator

so I'd psychically track/predict the number of items in the fort, quantum-entangle the mechanisms, and design the weapon of mass destruction defense systems.

No amount of war dogs can halt the onslaughts of immortal scamps.

Oh that's low. You have been given an oppurtunity to visit the magma bath houses! Congratulations!

My server is not currently up.


Why do you guys do this when I am at work and can't turn it on?!


(Concerning the heated showers)

Who me? I'm the only legendary glassworker in the whole fort!  You like cheap, inexpensive barrels right?  Who else is going to spam production of raw green glass for our jeweler?!

Unfortunately, dwarf justice does not consider elf-loving or slander to be crimes. Not that that would stop any noble from executing someone for it.

You forget - Loud Whispers IS the mayor.   Still, I suppose it could initiate a tantrum spiral - I know that I, for one, would be angry at finding something like that out. Then someone tantruming could throw a fluffy wambler at him.

Oh please, as if the psycopathic murder killers lovely people of these forums would allow anything remotely pointy-eared within half a mile of our glorious fortress.
