[QUOTE=mars7a;30310203]Yes, but a gimmick is restraining and will drive off potential players who might not like the goal.[/QUOTE]
That's why we have a very lenient goal that can be flexed. An above-ground fortress can still be used to make monuments and such, or a segregated-by-usefulness fortress is actually more organized and is more easily manageable than a vanilla fort.
[QUOTE=eatdembeanz;30309882]Boring as hell, yo. Without a main driving point behind the story, people wouldn't agree on a common goal and hundreds of unfinished projects will clutter up the fortress.[/QUOTE]
That's a pretty awful idea considering some of the most memorable LPs of Dwarf Fortress didn't have a driving goal (Syrupleaf, Boatmurdered, that other one I forgot.)
Oh god how long before the FP Cure strikes once again.

You want to build an above ground fortress? You could do that during your year, you shouldn't shackle players to a pretty narrow road in the name of convenience.

I was listing an example.
Almost all the legendary successions were normal, goalless lets play's.
Here's how it should work: First guy starts the fort, calls it whatever the hell he wants. Plays for a day or a short amount of time and then saves it. Then guy one posts a log here and offers the save up to anyone. The first person to answer gets PM'd the link to the file. Continues until fortress destruction.
No goals, no requirements, just pure fun. Just don't take the torch up if you know you will have time constraints because that is just a dick thing to do.
That's exactly how it works. Except, make the day a bit longer. How about we go like the legendary ones and make it a yearly thing? Each in-game year (spring to spring), we switch.
Sounds good to me.
I agree with the yearly thing, but should we RP it like Headshoots/boatmurdered/syrupleaf?
Also concerning cotton candy veins, is the entire tube hollow, or the the lower bits?

Many tubes are solid for anywhere from 10-50 z-layers before they get hollow, while most only give you 1-5 z-layers before they get hollow.
Cotton Candy in DF..?
I'll assume you mean adamantine.

please sign up with your requested turn
If we do this, the person who starts should just zip their entire game folder and upload that so we don't have to mess with mods and tilesets. I'd like to play as well, just stick me anywhere.
do you mind being first SteelReal?
You know what, just put me on the list as well, don't care where.
[QUOTE=Xain777;30313084]do you mind being first SteelReal?[/QUOTE]
I wouldn't mind if we decided on a tileset and mods before hand.
Would like spot 5. This'll prove to be interesting.
vanilla would be best so that everyone can use whatever tile set they want.

There was only one succession game where Facepunch managed to get past the third turn.
I did the third turn.
Count me in, spot 4.
Give me spot 9. I hope this turns out good.
How would one distribute a save file? Just put it into a zip and upload it to a site?
exactly
[editline]7th June 2011[/editline]

So yeah, I guess I'll go first?
Dunno if this is a little late, but what are we embarking on?
Haunted scorching one-tile desert island with salt water and a four-level aquifer
Yeah I was about to ask that. Is there anywhere particular you'd like me to embark on?
It would be interesting to embark on somewhere evil, or a volcano or something.
