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.
