Cool cool. I'm down to go whenever. Put me in whenever makes sense.
Also it looks like we have a lot of potential managers who are worried about their abilities. I'm willing to field questions if anyone has them but maybe we want some sort of organized way to help encourage the less confident future central planners? I dunno what a reasonable way to do that would be.
I'm thinking each year should be a new thread, this way we lowkey spam the feed and attract new players /onlookers instead of posting to a thread which will never return to Hot/New again. When games like this took place on bulletin boards like SA or the DF forums, replies would bump the thread. On here, making a new post is basically the equivalent.
Also it might be good to lay out some additional ground rules, like game version (as Awoo suggested) and mod acceptance/prohibition (thinking of DFHack and Dwarf Therapist in particular and assuming these are off-limits even for QOL features).
Also things like time limits (e.g. one week or your turn is forfeit)
No premature circus, but the temples can have a couple of statues, as a treat. :)
I don't think dfhack/dt is enforceable, but the stakes are also nonexistent and I agree accessibility is nice. When I play normally, I use DH features like seedwatch all the time.
For succession, I think we need to be a little more organized. We at least should keep a roster of players who volunteered for turns, and try to make sure they all get their shot before rotating back to people who have already played. When I post the next thread I'll collect a list of everyone who has confirmed they want to play, as well as those who have expressed interest.
