Now I'll have to start playing DF again. And here I was hoping to get something done this week summer.

Eeee! DF LPs got me to join, and now I catch one at the start? I am so there.

Looking very much forward to this, Leperflesh. I know nothing about the 2012 version so it ought to be full of fun and surprises.

Off to a great start already. Not the fleeing for our lives of Gemclod, but it certainly seems like something is going on in The Rare Ship. Also, I don't think I really understood until now just how fast these things start to fill up. Glad to get in early for this one, might even have to try for an overseer term later.

Also looking forward to seeing all of the new sorts of hijinks DF2012 brings (I still haven't managed to wrap my head around what to do with those minecarts in my own fortresses).

Just put in my application, this will be my first time participating in a DF LP. Guess that means my death will be particularly horrifying?

Excellent job with the OP, Leper...flesh. Looking forward to this.

Oh god I forgot about the minecarts. I can't wait to see what trickery people can come up with with roller coasters and automated magma dumping and such.

Oh man, I'm actually on in on this! Like so many others, it seems, I read the previous LP's in the archive, as well as Gemclod while it was in progress, but now I'm actually going to get to be a hauler and do nothing of importance! Or maybe even notable!

I believe Leperflesh did check that the site would be sufficiently interesting but still safe enough to make it reasonable to survive past year 2.

Followed Gemclod from the start, so my hopes of Bronzestabbed being as awesome as that are pretty high!
Also looking forward to getting dwarfed so digital-me can run around and problebly die to infection in the third toe, left foot or something :black101:

Thanks for posting the dwarf descriptions, I'm already working on art.

Anyone who winds up as a vampire should be given the next turn as Overseer.

And so another goon DFLP starts, and thats quite a start so far. I signed up as a military teacher, but i don't mind if that doesn't work out.

Also, the dwarf list is already over 100 hah, things are going fast.

Before the beginning of great brilliance, there must be chaos.
It was Gemclod that got me into LPs and on to SA. I'm looking forward to participating in this one, however I can.

(I missed out on the dwarfing list last time, since I didn't expect it to last as long as it did. Not making the same mistake this time.)

That's pretty fitting, considering your tutorial videos were the only reason I was able to figure out Dwarf Fortress :)

I have to say, though, I really like doing the dwarfing signups externally. Really seems to be cutting down on clutter, after having seen what the first pages of previous ones looked like (The list is already at over 100 and yet the thread is still on page 2).

Man, at this rate the fortress will be flooded with demons before I get dwarfed. Still, I'm super loving excited for the first update. This is gonna be great.

How the gently caress are there already over 100 entries in the DwarfMe spreadsheet? :psydwarf:

I just hope there's not that much competition for the overseer position. If I don't get my chance to write mediocre updates and ruin everything, I don't know what I'll do!

It won't take more than a couple years before we run through over a hundred dwarves, so I wouldn't fret too much. Most megaprojects worth ruining the fort over require a hundred or so spare bodies anyway.

I was hoping one of the things we could steal from Matul Remrit was the five-letter bastardisation of the forum names. I can put on my fake beard and chainmail and quaff all the ale I want before coming into the thread, but reading about the exploits of dwarf nakedsephiroth246 just breaks my immersion. Oh well, maybe next time!

If this is done (judging by the submission sheet, seems like user/overseer preference?) I'd recommend not restricting it to five letters. You'd be amazed how fast you run out of names that don't sound exactly alike.
