Following up from last week, @Doubledee@hexbear.net seemed eager to play, so I don't see any reason why not to give Beardrenched another year. No turns have been played since Episode 7, two weeks ago (here's the file). I'm going to ask anybody else who is interested in playing to re-apply here in this thread, so we have an idea of who is still involved and who's turn is coming up in the near term.

In the meantime, there was some discussion of retiring. We could take a poll, but last week a number of people chimed in basically saying they could go either way, so I think what we'll do is play it until the roster dries up. We'll be doing this on a more ad-hoc basis from now on.

We have learned a lot about the lore and nearby societies in Teyo Ametha and the thought of continuing in this world is appealing, but the current save file appears to be corrupted. DFHack gives a scary warning about "Missing Nemesis Records." I noticed this for the first time at the end of turn 6, so if we do want to continue playing in this world, we might want to go back, load Episode 5, and retire the fort from that save.

Finally, if you have anything else going on related to Dwarf Fortress, the floor is yours. This thread is not limited exclusively to the succession game.

Update: So we've still got DoubleDee, Booty, Gay King Prince Charles, and Oreb on board, so it's adamantine or bust, I guess.

I'm still down to keep going!

The "missing nemesis records" thing appears to be a kind of obscure issue and the DFHack team isn't totally sure of the consequences. It could cause dwarves on missions to vanish and may cause some crashes. I suppose until we start seeing major issues I'm on team 'pretend everything is ok'

As far as this fortress goes, I'm in the same boat.

I’ll see if I get time to ‘start’ a new in The World of Wind, and check if the nemesis files are still missing.
