Continuing the discussion from Slave to Armok: God of Blood: Dwarf Fortress:
Right, so, Lets get this thing rolling! PM me if you want to play, I will set up an order, and we’ll start this friday!
Rules:
One year = one turn, from spring of one year to spring of the next. Once you see the cheery green “Spring has arrived!” text, save it, zip it, and get it to the next player. Upload it to rapidshare.com or something similar, and post the link to your savegame so the next person can get it and begin. Feel free to break your turn up into a bunch of posts, but let’s try and keep it moving along.
Once it’s your turn, you get a week from the time that the link is posted to take your turn. If you start but can’t finish, your successor has the option to pick up where you left off and play out the rest of your turn and their. If you don’t start, then the old savegame just goes to the next player. If you trash the fort to total – and I mean TOTAL – unplayability (e.g. magma flood oh god), we’ll revert to an old save, but overcoming setbacks is half the fun, so hopefully we won’t have to do this.
Pretty much anything goes except for the following: 1) using huge bridge hallways to kill demons/seiging armies, and 2) things that make later turns totally unplayable such as flooding the world, mining adamantine, or removing bridges in creative ways so that the pathing eats it and the bridges can’t be reconstructed and the fortress descends into an orgy of violence and starvation.

I would reccommend practicing Dwarf Fortress mode A lot. Master it. Consider it your new career.
