[The Big D]

I'll take a turn if there's still a slot, just gotta catch up first.

This fort is basically dead, or in other words, take all of the turns, nobody'll stop ya, and anyone who notices will probably give you encouragement.

Got loads of homework at the moment, but dependent on that and when my Bloodlines of the Forii turn comes up I may pick it up Wednesday arvo

Dathateyo- perhaps the only succession fort to ever grow huge, enormously productive, recover from several disasters, and then just be retired through sheer freaking boredom...

I eventually abandoned the world it was in due to changes in how civs are handled in world gen with the latest updates.  So I can think we can all safely conclude this fort is retired now.

Mistakes:

- Not delegating enough responsibility early enough: leading to an overburdened host (me)

- Allowing players to do whatever they pleased.  As a result, every overseer went off on their own random agenda, leading to a sprawling fort that looked like it was built by somebody with Multiple Personality Disorder  (this is why I ultimately stopped playing turns to keep the fort going- I found the immense scale and lack of focus in the fort too overwhelming and demoralizing to try and manage)

- In going with #2, a lack of a clear "theme" or goals.  Conquering hell, for instance- or building an open-source fort up to the clouds (where I kind of envisioned the fort going, but was too late in advocating)

- Not having a clear emergency plan or contingency plans.  This lead to the fort nearly collapsing on several occasions, only being saved by its high walls, sheer size (as much as I hated it), relative autarky, and sheer determination...


Anyways, lessons learned.  Maybe I'll do another succession fort soon.  Any ideas?
