Succession game?

Untrustedlife · February 04, 2014, 04:42:06 PM

So, I was struck with an interesting idea anyone want to do a succession game?

A good example of a succession game would be "Boatmurderd" in dwarf fortress.

10 days per turn.

Does two days seem fair, or would you go with something a bit higher.

It really depends on the story teller however, as alot can happen in two days.

Edit: ingame days of course. Just to clarify.

The problem with it only being 2 days is that it would be hard to RP it. (I'm thinking we all make records of our play through in a heavily RP'd fashion and we post it here) of course, a rim-world day is not necessarily equivalent to a planet earth day. so we could get away with it.

I'd do 5-10 days if I were you, but that's just my thoughts. 2 days is really short. The good DF succession games ran one year per player. That said, DF has a fuller endgame than RW so far, so it could go longer.

So...... When do we start? Can i start it first.

Ender · February 08, 2014, 11:56:59 PM

Indeed! let us start, i agree with tynan 5-10 days makes alot more sense especially sense not alot can happen in 2 days

RedStorm58 · February 09, 2014, 10:19:46 AM

So.... Now or later? And who is going to start it?

Ender · February 09, 2014, 06:35:37 PM

Not sure how to attach a save file though, its much to large...

I'll pull the trigger, 10 days have gone by, next up i'm calling RedStorm next. PS: it is complete coincidence that Tynan is one of the first 3.
The story so far, a good start, an alcove in the rock was found and deemed as good a place as any to begin a base. around day two a raider was spotted on the horizon with some frag grenades on his belt. luckily he was shot down quite competently by all three colonists in short order without the raider pulling a single pin. After alot of crazy squirrels we are dangerously low on food but just got our first hydroponics table made, and the lamp operating. now its time for our next leader to make decisions i hope to Odin that he can pull us out of these dark times and bring us into the light, Light up the darkness, take back the night.

I will post what happened, just finished. All i will say is; it isn't good.

Untrustedlife · February 10, 2014, 12:15:49 AM

It started?
And things already went bad? If we die prematurely we shall start again

I'll go after red-storm.

(I'll say that, I will heavily RP it, I suggest you sort of descreibe your "leader" and talk about it from his perspective. (rp style) perhaps with screen shots as-well? this is what I will do and it will result in a awesome story (if you are willing))

If you compress the file it shouldn't be very large at all.

ChristianWarrior · February 13, 2014, 04:48:45 PM

Also, if this ever starts/is going on right now, I would love to be part of it!

Ender · February 13, 2014, 05:07:53 PM

Sorry guys, i am going to go after someone else. I think my computer had a heart attack and died. I sent it to a repair shop, but it will take a couple days. Damn....... Just when i was getting excited about something! I am using my phone for this post. :-(
