Some of you may have heard of Dwarf Fortress, and hopefully some of you have even played it. Those that pay any attention to the game's metagame will be aware of the legendary Boatmurdered, a project of running a fortress by saving and passing it along to a new person from a list at the end of every in-game year (when spring arrives). It made for some very entertaining storytelling. You can check the whole thing out just by googling "Boatmurdered". You probably should anyway.
Anyway, my idea was to try and do another Boatmurdered, and I'd need some volunteers to participate who are willing to join in and contribute their creativity (and ability to make screenshots) to making our fortress last as long as possible. Now, for those who have never played Dwarf Fortress before, please be advised that it is a viciously difficult and complex game much in the way of a fantasy simulator - like the Sim games, there is no 'win' to the game, except losing as spectacularly as possible. Sometimes in a flood of fiery demons and murder. If you wish to join, please find and download version 0.31.25, which I think is the most recent one (and more importantly the one I'm using now) and play a few games to get the hang of the basics. You will lose horribly during your first few, I almost guarantee it, so feel free to use that as a learning experience and USE GUIDES. I'm not kidding when I say the game is ridiculously complex.
Otherwise, I'll leave this up as a general signup area for people who are interested in joining. Official rules will be posted when we have enough people, but the rules will be pretty general - advice on a few things to not do that will almost assuredly cause you to destroy your fortress during your turn, and how to post up your accounts on the events.
