Ready Aim Fire XXXII - Dwarf Fortress
This game is based on Silkenfist's idea. Thank you Silkenfist for this! This is RAF Classic, the original, free-for-all RAF game. You can find Team RAF, the team-based variant of this game in the Forums when Lord Herman decides to continue the series (or gives it to someone else).
The main rules (spoilered becauseI think most of the people know them alreadythey are a bit long.):
SpoilerYou have to decide between three actions:
1) Shoot the air -> Nothing happens. If you get shot you die.
2) Shoot [insert player name here] -> [insert player name here] dies if he did not shoot himself.
3) Shoot yourself -> if no one tries to kill you, you die! If someone shoots you this player will get killed instead of you and you live!
For better understanding here is a link to Lord Herman's "comic for better understanding the rules of Ready Aim Fire".
You have about three days to PM your action to the narrator (=me!). I will announce the submission date in the Narrator Posts. I will post the end of the round and start writing then, no PMs will be accepted after the end of the round post. If you miss a date once you shoot the air. If you miss a date twice in a row you get autolynched.

The theme for this iteration is the not finished, yet pretty cool game Dwarf Fortress where you guide a couple of lemming like dwarfs (crappy ascii graphic if you don't install a mod) to their certain demise. Well, they all die eventually, else you don't have fun. In this game however, you try to be the last person standing (to close the Fortress and throw away the key, or whatever. Bath in the blood of your comrades is pretty high on the list of the inhabitants, too, I have heard).
Practically you can roleplay what you want (please only living things), if you don't claim any role you will become Urist Whateverdwarf (name may change from character to character).
Sign ups are starting now and will last a week till about the 19th April 2012!
Although the auto-notify list is a bit old I will PM the people on this list when the thread is up (and they haven't already signed up).
Here it is:
Castaras
Dallas Dakota
billtodamax
Lord Fullbladder, Master of Goblins
Diva de
(If you want to be on this list, too, just tell in thread, I think I want to make a game all two months or so)
PS: Roleplay is nice but not obligatory. It just makes my work easier (sometimes at least). I really appreciate it when people, by PMing their actions, tell me what could happen to them or their victims. It makes the game a bit more interesting, since sometimes I have the feeling my ideas are repeating... :smalleek:
