Welcome to Dwarf fortress - by committee.

This bloodline style game will have/has many of its main features and initial set up options voted on and by the community here on the forums.  The current rules are as follows:

• Turn Duration: 72 Hours and 1 Game year.  This period is to be used for write ups, logs and journals. as the current player desires.
• On Fort lost: Depends on Fort condition on fall.
• Banned "Exploits": (more will be voted on)
  
  • "Dwarven Atom Smashers" - A drawbridge used to obliterate enemies.  May still be used for garbage disposal as no one wants X(Urists' Smelly 10 year old pig tail fiber sock)X laying about the fortress.'
    
  • Infinite Metals:  Basically using the melt system to infinitely generate metals.  Granted that most metals are recyclable, and for the purposes of training smiths and smelter operators, the practice of melting down metals is not entirely forbidding, just restricted to an average rate of return of 100%  This does not prevent you from buying items that yeild >100% from a caravan and melting it in the same way, not does it restrict the melting of goblinite (fallen goblin warrior equipment)
    
• Fort Sabotage:  Directly and purposefully conducting any action that would otherwise cripple the fort, rendering it either unplayable or unrecoverable will result in simply rolling back the the most previous save, and replaying that year.  Multiple offenders (read 2), will be banned from taking further turns.
• Version: 40.04, using the new "starter pack" found here: http://dffd.wimbli.com/file.php?id=7622
• Current save is here :http://dffd.wimbli.com/file.php?id=9146

We still have room for turn sign ups!  However, given the results of our votes in the past, getting much past even the first year may prove to be a challenge.

Current Vote: #16
-Fortress Goals and benchmarks, Leave your comments in the post!?-

As we were evenly split on this aspect, We will conduct a vote and make a dissension based on the fort that has fallen.

WELCOME TO STENCHHAMMER!

Come my friends i hope your well,
I bid thee join me for a spell,
sit on down and be still your yammer
as i introduce you to the story of Stenchhammer.

Our Mountainhome is a small yet valiant one, beset upon by vicious elfs from the dawn of time.  While many kingdoms such as are may have many rules fall to various beasts and goblins, our frequently die at the hands of the forest dwelling bastards.  Of our 39 kings, 30 great nation's fine rulers have fallen to elfs, wrose yet, of them 28 had been consumed in the barbaric ritual the elfs have after a victory.

My name is Hyphont, i'm an administrator of sorts, trying hard to earn my place among the nobility.  To this end i have volunteered to lead an expedition to settle a new fortress on the opposite side of the continent that we dwell.
Hyphont

To rid the world of the elven menace.  With the help of the duke and king  I requisitioned some supplies from the stores we have here.

However the place i trek is not a safe one, and i had quite a lot of difficulty obtaining fellow travelers for the start of this journey.  With some aid of the military and the city guard i acquired the following miscreants helpers:

• Dr. Von Katz
  
  Spoiler (click to show/hide)

  Quite the odd fellow, the military nearly shoved him out the door with me on request for "volunteers" on our expedition.  His white coat spotted in blood stains and wreaks of the stench of death.  He has a strange unstable glitter in his eye, this worries me deeply, but not as much as i fear for the cats that we had donated to our cause.  On seeing them he rushed over excitedly and started looking them all over mumbling something to the effect of "oh yes... you will do nicely, fine fine test subjects  you shall be"  I'm fairly certain that the cats and I shared the same bewildered look of concern. I shall keep them under lock and key until we arrive, just to be safe.  He claims to be some sort of doctor.
  
  
• Crazyduck
  
  Spoiler (click to show/hide)

  This guy i'm certain they pulled from from the military prison of failed experiments.  He only responds to the name of "Crazyduck" and otherwise sits in a corner with the woodcutter's battle Axe caressing and licking it, whispering something about "soon".  I'll have to keep that Axe locked away until arival.
  
• Blitz
  
  Spoiler (click to show/hide)

  Our farmer, is another somewhat damaged soul.  Blitz is the soul survivor of one of our(many) failed outposts.  apparently picked up some skill with the sword in the experiance.
  
  
• Alev Stoneslayer
  
  Spoiler (click to show/hide)

  Our Mason, is a bit of less of a damaged fellow as well.  He is survivor from one of our many early goblin invasions that nearly overwhelmed us, killed three goblins and a fellow militia dwarf with his engraving hammer and chisel. Was saved from execution for in defense of the fortress, and the fact our numbers had fallen a bit low and we need a mason for our journey.  Seems reliable and useful in anything involving rock or generous application of hammer. Both should be in great demand when we arrive.
  
  
• Xmpel
  
  Spoiler (click to show/hide)

  The seemingly normal individual is our carpenter, he does not seem to be in anyway grossly abnormal, has a bit of an obsession with wood, but nothing like one of those foul elfs and hopefully will provide us with comfortable beds.
  
• Snackfox
  
  Spoiler (click to show/hide)

  This nuisance forced upon my group is the "Professional Comedian" Snackfox.  Another stonephile much like our mason, but seems to favor engraving.  His "comedic" engravings earned him some time in the prison for a rather lewd piece engraved on the dukes hallway.  Now he is my problem.[/size][/color]
  

May the gods watch over us and our journey and bless our fortress and curse the canibal elfs!
