Bit out of context from the game, but I'm really quite amazed at how fast this thread advances with its posts.

Compared to the Ardentdikes succession game thread which accumulated 69 pages of posts starting from about 16 months ago, this thread only started 3 months ago yet the number of posts it has already exceeds 75% of the # of posts in Ardentdikes.

Compared to the Deathgate succession thread (which already moves at a faster pace than most other successions I've seen), this thread started when the Deathgate succession thread already had 24 solid pages of posts, but now the gap in # of pages of posts is only half of what it started out as (65 pages there compared to 53 pages here)

But from another perspective:
Ardentdikes has already gone through 30 turns
Deathgate 18 turns
"You son of an elf!" 12 turns

Number crunching is interesting isn't it?

This thread advances more quickly because we are much more interesting than the others.

Alas we are short on players..... But no matter. It is enjoyable either way.

Cool Thanks.

Also, I would find it helpful if at the end of the turn people included screenshots and explanations of changes to the fortress.

The explanations would include but not be limited to:
  • Is the plan complete?
  • What are the next steps? (If the next overseer would like to complete it)
  • What is the change supposed to accomplish?
  • How it is supposed to work (for levers, bridges, pressure plates, etc).
  • What needs do you still see as unmet?

Would any of the rest of you find that helpful?

I understand that losing is fun. But with us stumbling over each other (blindly undoing what the previous overseer did, etc.) I don't see how we can ever get to a place where we can lose in an epic manner.
