So many lives of intrepid folks, snuffed out in a flash on their assumed glorious quests. The Museum is always humbling.

Are we on to the next turn as of yet?

I apologise for the big names of Forts, I tend to get carried away with names.
The save is here.

And if anyone starts thinking to themselves 'Hmm, I might try visit deepvaulted on my turn' then I have the following advice for you:

Don't. Mistakes were made.

That's all the more incentive to go there, if only to see how badly it went wrong and satisfy morbid curiosity.

EDIT: Had a look in the Legends Mode for that save. Almost all the player-adventurers I've seen have the line 'It is universally agreed that [PC Name] was chosen by fate as the vanguard of destiny.' Never seen that before - anyone know what's up with that?

I believe that means they were created as 'Heroes'. Though I could be wrong or misremembering. Isn't there a different message there when made as peasants or demigods?

Before I forget, stick me on the end of the turn list if possible. I’ve never seen that happen in legends mode before though.

Looked slightly further, and there's a couple with similar messages: a human Necromancer, a Dwarf (both NPC, by the look of it), and Imic's first character (the moth man). They're all listed as being 'guided by forces unknown', and are all highlighted in the way the player characters were.

The map has been updated with the two new fortresses. I'll send Maloy a PM.

Yeah, those are just flavor-sentences indicating the character's status as a player adventurer-- for heroes and peasants, respectively.

Okay, it's coming up to a week, and Maloy hasn't been active since June. Do we skip to Tonnot98's turn, or wait another day or two?

Perhaps a rule could be put in place that if a player does not respond and confirm that they can play the game within a time limit, then they are skipped.

Perhaps with a caveat that maybe could recieve deference for coming back into a close slot. Just in case. But I agree, that's what kills this.

Okay, a few ideas, may or may not be good:
  • Pickup time for the save could be 3 days from when Bralbaard sends the user a PM, with the week-long playthrough timer starting when they make a confirmation post in the thread. If they don't post confirmation within 3 days, skip to the next turn.
  • If there's an issue with picking up the file, slot them in 1 or 2 places down from the current player, perhaps?
  • Could check a player's 'Last Active' date; if they've been inactive for a month or longer, perhaps consider skipping their turn? Disregard this.

Last one may be a bit harsh, but I'd say that if the user in question hasn't been on for a month or more, they probably aren't going to show up in time to grab the save.

Thoughts?

I’d wait for Bralbaard’s judgement, and I’m mixed on number 3, but overall I support this.

I don't know about skipping people out of hand for not being active on the forums, but at the very least we shouldn't be waiting a week for people who aren't active.

Yeah, in hindsight, disregard that last one. Had some further thought on it and remembered that you can get reminded via email when you get a PM.
