Editing Bloodline:Succession League

The site of the DF Succession League.<br />

The '''Succession League''' was a forum of sorts for organizing [[succession games]], hosted by [[Dwarf Fortress Wiki|this wiki]]. As these pages/articles have no significant edits since around 2010 the project can be safely assumed dead. The impact of the project, while on-going, is left for the reader to assess. This article, and any closely related ones, have been kept intact for the sake of conservation.

The Succession League was formed at approximately 01:00 October 7, 2009 as a way of organizing Succession games and making it easy 
to find players for them. The main utility of the League is the profile created for each player as he or she plays, which is based
on a survey submitted by Members at the end of each game. [[Joining the Succession League|Becoming a Member]] is as easy as asking for it. However, you are NOT 
required to be a member to participate. ''see'' [[Succession League Policies|''Policies'']]

=Updates=
*[[User talk:The Architect|The Wiki leader, Briess, has given us the green light.]]<br />
Also in the above, he decided to sign up. Cool!<br />
*Members are encouraged to send a private message on the [http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php Bay12 forum] to The Architect or find another way of making email contact in order to receive updates (if desired) and to submit player reviews and communicate in a non-public way. Reviews will be simple, consisting of 3 numerical ratings, a yes/no question, and an optional comment section, so that even if you had 20 players in your game it will be easy to submit the review for all of them. This will become its own subcategory under communication and responsibilities on this page at the appropriate time (Reviewing Players). Players will never be pestered with emails, only sent a newsletter if they are currently listed as seeking type a game, and sent an email when their game has ended or appears to be discontinued.
*Our first game is beginning! It is a Survival game.
*The first looping Succession game is being planned.
*A Bloodline game is being planned.
