Apropos stories from out of the forum, I’d like to nominate the Dwarf Fortress Gladiator Tournament, held anually over at the subreddit. As of today, the Sixth Tournament had its finale, so I think it is ripe for nomination. To be clear, I’m nominating all the tournaments together, as an ongoing story, not the tournament from any single year.

Can't believe I skipped the Dwarven Language Codified... 11th vote from me!

The Gladiator tournament (and its cousin, Kruggsmash's Splatterface Tournaments) has been a good source of adventurer inspiration for me for a bit. +1

The DF Gladiator tournament is nominated and has 4 votes.  For the time being, I am linking the official GoogleDoc of Tourney VI, which has a respectable archive of Reddit activity from past tournaments.  If the tourney makes the HoL, I'll see about getting a more comprehensive link list.

Oh damn! The Gladiator Tourneys! For anyone with an old nostalgia trip that I just had, take a look at the first few that I ran here on Bay12 back in 2015! How time freakin' flies. I totally aped these from Something Awful, and they just took off after that, moving on to reddit with a number of different hosts. It really was an awesome time.

+1 for the tournaments.  Always a joy to read about them.  A repository of links to each of the games would be great.

+1 for tournaments - even though I've never made it past the quarterfinals. Damned Cheetah Women...

In the interest of full disclosure, I have written at least a little bit of one of the tournaments past (and particpated personally) - it might affect whether my vote counts or not, but +1 for the tournaments

First of all, it seems that the images on the Reclaiming Battlefailed thread are missing. Does anyone have an intact version?

Second of all, I would like to nominate Thob Goes to the Surface

Fort is running at 21 FPS, the ground is having a panic attack in places, and what looks like a conga line of zombified Hungry Heads has formed on (I think) Z-level 32 of the caverns.
I love dwarven status reports.

There's links to the backed up docs in this thread

This is something I wanted to ask Immortal anyway, do you think it would be wise to include a backup link whereever applicable. I know bearskie archived many community fort classics.
