Depending on how popular this becomes, inclusion in the bloodline namespace may be inappropriate.  I'm willing to create a new namespace for this endeavor if it pans out. --[[User:Briess|Briess]] 10:32, 8 October 2009 (UTC)
:Thank you for the tentative support. Considering that this wiki does not function as a forum, I'm not sure of the appropriate mode for response, but I hope you see this. Support so far has been quick, with 9 joining in two days, but I expect the growth to pan out around 20 and move slowly until the point that it becomes a topic of discussion and moves to be well known, when it should become a major part of the DF community. If you have the time please drop by in a few days when the interface is smoothed over and give me your opinion; learning the wiki coding is making things a little sluggish. Also, some of the functions will of course take place outside the wiki in order to reduce the amount of info clogging up space here. --[[User:The Architect|The Architect]] 10:40, 8 October 2009 (UTC)
::Not a problem.  Of course, wiki syntax is a bit of a hassle - I can't claim I have any real understanding of it myself either.  Another option is to host this on a separate webapp (that I would create for this express purpose) if it becomes large enough (say, 50 participants or so); assuming, of course, you want to take it in that direction. --[[User:Briess|Briess]] 11:11, 8 October 2009 (UTC)

-:::It seems you made a reply while I was editing. typed more as follows: By the way, wouldn't keeping it separate now or placing it under a category with Bloodline (but not under Bloodline, seeing as those games are only one facet) such as "Multiplayer" or "Succession" prevent hassle later on? Within a few days this is likely to generate multiple extra pages as we begin games and will continue to do so as long as it exists.
-:::A separate application would be great; I don't have the knowhow but some of the functions (such as ratings) would benefit from an automated program to turn the raw data to tables, and asking a large number of players to learn the wiki interface in order to arrange games with each other nearly defeats the purpose of this group for the casual player. I don't want to force you to keep moving the pages I'm making (only a couple more), so if you intend to stick it under Bloodline for now then maybe you can give me a link that will teach me to do it myself? (I get the redirect, but not creating a page under the Category)
-:::And again I'm too slow to get in before your edit, telling me not to worry about space. Either way, creating this page under Bloodline and then a dozen redirect or reredirect edits could be a avoided --[[User:The Architect|The Architect]]
-::::All good, to create a page under a bloodline section, type the page name like http://www.dwarffortresswiki.net/index.php/Bloodline:Something into your address bar and use the links provided on the blank page holder to create it.  Hopefully that made sense.  A separate category may be appropriate, but for now we'll leave it in bloodline and see how it pans out.  Ps. Where do I sign up? :V --[[User:Briess|Briess]] 11:26, 8 October 2009 (UTC)
-:::::I was creating that page when you edited this. I will link it to the main page in a few seconds, and redirect/move the two, final main pages under Bloodline. --[[User:The Architect|The Architect]] 11:35, 8 October 2009 (UTC)
-::::::That works for me.  --[[User:Briess|Briess]] 11:36, 8 October 2009 (UTC)

-Thanks for cleaning up after me, including the formatting on the joining page. --[[User:The Architect|The Architect]]
-:Cheers.  Any time.  I threw together a template for this too. Let me know if you like it or not. --[[User:Briess|Briess]] 19:59, 8 October 2009 (UTC)

-:I'm prepared to run a Succession game! I've never ran a Succession game before (or actually played one!), but I've read a few and I'm not stupid (and I have access to a good FTP server for game file swapping!). How should I go about it and any advice? -- [[User:Melek|Melek]] 19:25, 5 January 2010 (UTC)

-==Survival Game==
-Squirrelloid was the winner.
-==[[gem]]s==
- Have any new gems been introduced, and have gem values been verified?
- The values of many things have changed.
-Much of this type of info can be found in the RAW files, rather than waiting/hoping to encounter them in gameplay. That's where I'd start.--[[User:Albedo|Albedo]] 20:36, 6 April 2010 (UTC)
-:I've already verified their names, locations, and values - colors need to be checked, but I rather doubt they've changed. --[[User:Quietust|Quietust]] 21:02, 6 April 2010 (UTC)
