People for a succession fort

I'd like to get 6 other people together to start (and finish) a succession fort. Six more so that we'd have enough dwarves for everyone to pick and skill one. We'd agree on an embark and supplies and get it set up however the majority decides.

SIGNUPS CLOSED

Current list:

1st. YourAverageWalrus - Hunter

2nd. TotallyNotAnAlien - Brewer/Farmer

3rd. Socrates271 - Woodcutter/Carpenter

4th. starshard0 - Mason

5th. questionquality - Miner/Record Keeper

6th. racercowan - Miner/Building Designer

7th. Nave - Warrior/Teacher

Rules:

Each persons turn may last up to 1 year in game, or three days IRL.

If one person's dwarf dies, the owner of the dwarf chooses a migrant to become.

No killing other's dwarves.

No cage traps.

Count me in. Love me some succession. All aboard the murder boat!

Alright, go ahead and state your preferences for dwarfname, skills, and embark. We'll probably all get a skype chat for the embark later on.

starshard0•

Well, starshard0 ought to work as a good name, and it looks like we need a good mason.

YourAverageWalrusOP•

Sounds good to me, added you in the post.

questionquality•

u/Gapmeister created a new succession fort a few days ago. But it had plenty of interested people, so I think you'll have luck. We also have a subreddit: r/succession, you might want to post the updates in there.

Also. Sign me up. 'questionquality', Miner and Record Keeper.

3
YourAverageWalrusOP•

Sounds good to me. I'll list 'em out here then make a post in r/succession when I'm done collecting the members.

2
questionquality•

We'll be fort no. 14 and I put this post under signups in the sidebar (of r/succession)

3
YourAverageWalrusOP•

Thanks! Now I can be slightly more lazy.

2
TotallyNotAnAlien•

I've always wanted to do a successive fort. Count me in.

I've always been a fan of the brewer, most important dwarf in the fort; mayor be damned.

Airouis•

What exactly is a succession fort?

3
starshard0•

People take turns running a fortress, usually with hilarious results.

4
Airouis•

Ok... Wow, that seems like it would create for funny things.

2
racercowan•

Look up boatmurdered.

2
YourAverageWalrusOP•

And you're in. Total list is now 5, with two remaining.

egrutt•

I'm already in Machinemornings, and I signed up for #13 but if you end up being short of people let me know I'll help out (plus I'm active/reliable). Incase it comes to it Egrutt - Weapon or armor smith (if not starting with one I'll take Miner or mason or medic I don't really care. Are you planning on doing low cap on migrants so we have more in depth strife between us?

3
YourAverageWalrusOP•

I'll put you on reserve, just incase within another 24h we don't get two people. Best of luck with those other forts, though.

2
egrutt•

ok well PM me if someone doesn't pick up their turn, I'll fill in then.

2
Socrates271•

Absolutely, count me in as well.

3
YourAverageWalrusOP•

Alright, just list your preferences for skills and I'll take care of ya.

2
Socrates271•

Great! Carpenter (includes woodcutting) / Appraiser (if needed)

3
YourAverageWalrusOP•

Amazing, now we only need one last person, since I don't really want to get the reserve involved with three successions.

2
racercowan•

Is there space available still? I've been interested in succession forts, though I'm still new enough that there's a good chance I'll drive it into the ground. Also, will it just be the first seven or will other people be able to join and maybe rename a migrant or something.

3
YourAverageWalrusOP•

I'd rather keep it a short list, this allows for us to take turns more rapidly. I don't think I'll have other people join.

You're in, what's your preferences in dwarf skill and so on?

2
racercowan•

Listed in order (in case there should be a lack of points for some reason): Miner, Mason, Metal smith, Building designer, Mechanic, Siege engineer, Furnace operator, Carpenter, Metal crafter, and Stone crafter.

3
YourAverageWalrusOP•

Thanks for supplying a backup. Since we're negotiating points on embark, I'll see what we'll all do.

2
TotallyNotAnAlien•

Embark is here:

Trampledrooms 1.0

Pop cap = 120

Good luck and Strike the earth.

YourAverageWalrusOP•

Everyone can start on it, just the actual fort will follow the list of orders.

2
NaveReyem•

This is gonna be awesome!

2
TotallyNotAnAlien•

I'm betting your dwarf will be dead before your turn :P

The sole protector in the untamed wilds.

2
TotallyNotAnAlien•

I called it.

2
NaveReyem•

still need anyone?

2
YourAverageWalrusOP•

Yep, you'll be the last taker though. Choose your dwarf name and skills and lets get this fort rolling. PM me your skype name if you have skype so that we can finally select an embark.

2
NaveReyem•

Maybe Ranged, unless you want to do that. Two Melee would also be fun but its up to you.
