I had NO IDEA there was still this much interest. This project was put on hold for two reasons: 1) A severe falling off of interest in all succession and community games during the last few months pre-2010 release. 2) A crippling inability for the Wiki to properly serve as the home for this project. The code makes what should be a quick update process a matter of hours (really) for the simplest things, even once you've gotten used to it. It's also nearly impossible to maintain communications (notice all of the red links for names?).

The Bay12 forum proved to be even worse, as I can't mass email there (limit a couple of emails per hour, to 10 players at a time, means that it became impossible for me to work with back when we hit around 30 players).

It appears there is once again a rising need for /interest in an organized and accessible community of succession games and players. The problem now is that the wiki is truly incapable of serving as its home, and so is the current Bay12. I'll start asking around for help again, but I'm a busy person with work, college, and social life. It will happen at a crawl unless someone can step in. Even ideas would be helpful.

Join

Post your decision to join, along with your wiki stamp if you have one, or just a nickname you can be known by. A Bay12 forum name is acceptable as well, and should be posted to the appropriate thread linked to the main joining page.

This sounds very fun! I would love to join. I can only commit to about an hour’s worth of play per day due to real life stuff, but I think that should be plenty. I’ve been playing the game now for a couple of years off and on and I think I have a handle on the basics. Frewfrux 20:21, 23 November 2009 (UTC)

I'd like to join too, I am very familiar with dwarf fortress and really want to try this out--Supercharazard 19:23, 18 October 2009 (UTC)

---

I'd like to join, but I'm on a Mac, so I guess I'd have to be in a separate league for any pass-along-the-savefile games, and possibly any worldgenned games? Compatibility across various versions/platforms is not well documented. Cheepicus 02:29, 9 October 2009 (UTC) ("fleacircus" on forums)

---

I would also like to join. I'm totally new to Dwarf fortress. But I can see the potential for much fun and fun with a succession game. However I have the same problem as above; I'm using a Mac. --Kelsa 20:19, 11 October 2009 (UTC) (also "kelsa" on the forums)

For what it's worth, I have the Mac and PC versions of Dwarf Fortress set up in the same folder on my thumb drive so I can play the same saved games on both platforms. So far this has worked fine. --HebaruSan 03:31, 20 October 2009 (UTC)

---

Very interested in joining. I'm familiar with Dwarf Fortress, on a PC with Vista. Nothing much else on my mind to ask/say! --Rogabeetah 12:44, 12 October 2009 (UTC) (now registered as "Rogabeetah" on the forums *15 October 2009*)

---

I'm interested in joining. I' not exactly new to Dwarf Fortress, also I can write eloquently and design forts very well. -- DJ Work Safety 3:57, 12 October 2009 (UTC) (Same name on forums)

---

I too find an opportunity to participate enthralling. I play dwarf fortress a good bit and am pretty skilled at managing dem dorfs. I'm not gonna be a jerk and run the fort into the ground and leave you with one engraver in the fort's lowest level with nothing to do but engrave until he drowns either. --Qcrane 8:22. 12 October 2009 (UTC)(not registered on the forums)

Hey, I only did that ONCE. -- DJ Work Safety

---

Wow, I need to apologize to all of you. Sorry, but I somehow failed to Watch this page and thus had no idea people were responding like this. You will all be added promptly, and if you need an email let me know. Also let me know what kind of games you want to see and if you need help starting them.

I'm interested in joining. I posted on the forums under the same name. I'm somewhat new to DF (I've been at it for about a month) but I'm ready to try a few succession games. --Chicken Launcher 18:27, 18 October 2009 (UTC)

---

I am very interested in playing a bloodline game. --Notquitethere 01:30, 20 October 2009 (UTC)

---

I think I'd like to get in on this. My school work kinda waxes and wanes, so I should be around at least a decent amount of time. I go by Vicas on Bay12 and that works or here, too. I'm familiar with DF (been playing since the 2D version) but I'm very rusty, since I haven't played in a little under a year. - Vicas

---

I would love to join this! I made an account just for that. I'm interested in any kind of game, fun is present in most of them! --Jokim 01:46, 3 November 2009 (UTC)

---

This sounds awesome and I would like to join. I've played DF quite a bit and at least know how not to cause a fortress to die immediately. I would be interested in pretty much any sort of game. --Hyperbox 21:59, 4 November 2009 (UTC)

---

well iam quite new to dwarf fortress but iam following the tuttorials and would be very interested in playing a succession game :] . --Denisol 15:23 , 17 december 2009

---

Ever since I read the legendary tales of Boatmurdered and Nist Akath (even though Nist Akath wasn't a succession game) I've wanted to try this. Count on me, I know what it takes to get a fort up and running smoothly and in good order. Please sign me up! --Xvareon 10:26 PM, 25 December 2009

---

I would love to join this. I've played DF for awhile and I think I have it all down up to the dwarven economy and noble swarms. Bentusi16 5:00 PM, 27 December 2009

---

Sign me up! I'm pretty knowledgable, general fortress defence, dealing with water, magma, nobles, military, above ground construction etc...

I would NOT say I'm an expert though, just up for a good laugh! -- Melek 17:55, 31 December 2009 (UTC)

Well, for those interested I got bored waiting and have decided to start two games of my own. Check my user page for more info! -- Melek 19:35, 4 February 2010 (UTC)

---

I'm up for this :D --Defiance 21:22, 7 January 2010 (UTC)

---

Count me in. --Gyron 14:13, 12 January 2010

---

I'm in. --Schiller 20:26, 14 February 2010 (UTC)

---

All for having lots and lots of fun :D --Flying Dwarves Hurt 03:21, 23 February 2010 (UTC)

---

Sign me up and ship me off, lets play! --Dissimulation 16:47, 12 March 2010 (UTC)

---

I wish I had known about this earlier... I'm definitely interested in joining, and I already have my own succession game started here. I'm willing to join any others, as well. --AzureShadow 01:59, 5 April 2010 (UTC)

---

I'd like to join - I usually use Linux, but I can dual boot into windows if needed for compatibility. --Bdunderscore 01:58, 9 April 2010 (UTC)

---

That sounds great, I always wanted to participate in a Succession game. I´m really interested in other players building-style. Sign me up! :3 ~ Felcis 12:06, 19 April 2010 (UTC)

---

I'd like to join too, I've been playing DF for a while now and I'd like to try a succession game. I'm not familiair with talking trough a wiki so please tell me if there is anything I'm doing wrong now (like not having a user tag, how and where do I make one?). For now you can call me Vex.

---

I'm definitely interested. On the Bay12 forum I'm "Chaoseed". By the way, what's needed for this community? The ability to send mass emails? Is that truly necessary? What technical features are holding us back? --JohnEvans 02:39, 16 May 2010 (UTC)

---

Hi, I would like to join b12 forum nick is Nishi.

---

New and frankly stink, but would like to join. Linkhyrule5 17:14, 23 May 2010 (UTC)

---

I'd love to join. Bloodline/Succession games are awesome :D Oh, my name is Briggs, btw. Briggs 12:28, 11 July 2010

---

I would like to join the Succession League. I need more practice at working with weird DF setups, rather than my "I'll just make things easy on myself" attitude.--DeMatt 07:22, 12 July 2010 (UTC)

---

Interested! Though I'm new, I have figured out how to navigate the menus! --toescs 13 July 2010

---

Finally willing to play with others. I started playing about Sept of 2009, and still prefer 40d, but have experience in both it and DF2010. I take great care not to lose dwarfs, unless that is they deserve it. One note; I'm on an EEE PC, meaning that a population over say, 40, is enough to crush my very soul. Experienced dwarfer with plenty of time to spare. --Ripple in Eternity 17:04, 20 July 2010 (UTC)

---

Very interested in participating in bloodline or succession games. System can handle 100+ citizens. Tzalumen July 31 2010 --- Ooh! Let me join! Let me join! --Waladil 06:15, 2 August 2010 (UTC)

---

I've been an avid DF player since around the time it came out, before the wiki was anything close to useful (boy, that was a steep learning curve). A bloodline game has always interested me, and hopefully I can apply my wealth of experience (useful or otherwise) to the fun. --Slu cronus 02:24, 11 August 2010 (UTC)

---

This looks like fun. By the way, will we be doing updates in the epic style of the legendary Boatmurdered? Zero

---

I'm Commander Shepard, and this is my favourite user signing up for a succession league: RedItchies

---

I'm interested in joining a succession game. I've been playing on 40d and DF2010 for a while, but I'm still somewhat of a novice (I can't figure out the DF2010 military system!). Still, it looks like FUN. Edio

---

I'm looking for a random bag of unlabeled save games of forteresses I can reclaim from its dead owners. Due to the 'unlabeled' requirement I can't just grab a BoatMurdered save off forums, because then I'd know what to expect!

Forteresses would be listed by player surprise count and surprise strenght; no other information save for forteress location is allowed. Bonus points if it's been part of a blind reclamation game a few times already so it has all kinds of stacked surprises from a hidden cat explosion generator to a magma project gone unintentionally wrong to the timed drawbridge of unexpected catapulting!

Players 'win' them by sucessfully reclaiming the forteress long enough for them to have time to prepare more fun for the next player, or play the regular way until the bitter end (which usually leaves 5 to 12 unlabeled switches to figure out, including the one which doomed the place by accident).

Bonus point if there are multiple empty forteresses to reclaim and some of them have ...active... timed thingies!

P.S.: walling the outer perimeter of the world is a dead giveaway, be more subtle.

---
