Succession Game?

[The Error]

Just posting this to get a feel for it... how many people would be up for a pass-along-the-save-file career mode game?

I'd say no mods (for simplicity), and after X amount real/ingame time whoever the current Director of the Space Program is passes the file to the next in line.

For those of you who've played Dwarf Fortress, think succession game with less bearded alcoholic.

Players:

1. Spartwo

2. Fendleton

3. robopilot99

4. QuesoExplosivo

5.

Could be interesting. Maybe a turn is 1 in-game year, with a little leeway if you really want to finish a landing or something?

[The Error]

That sounds pretty good. Might extend that later on, as interplanetary trips can get quite long.

[Rhyunix]

Sounds interesting, but I'm not so sure about the idea itself being sucessful

*boop* I beg to differ. When's the next opening?

[The Error]

I'll start the save at some point; or you can just start it now. Signup list is up.

[Fendleton]

Well, well well. This seems an interesting thing indeed.

Limiting turns to one ingame year would be excellent for causing mayhem, because like a DF game it forces the creation of unfinished projects. As a former overseer of Moltenchannels over on the Bay 12 forums, I'm rather fond of those. The trick is to make sure it won't cause too much for anyone to handle in too short a space of time. I would also suggest an IRL limit per turn, so you don't get too much happening between turns...maybe 2-7 days per turn, or one ingame year, whichever comes first?

In any case, I think I'll give this a go, so sign me up.

I'm currently converting the SCSS save to give this thread a kickstart. .21 took it's toll so I'm going to get everything into working order first.

Some stuff is unaffected.

Some things will manage without.

Some just don't work and need replacement(that's mine)

I'll be done by wednesday by the latest. I recommend you keep it below 3 days I've taken part in 2 other threads like these and the reason they ended was because the wait was too long. If they don't have it by the deadline they have to give up what they've got.

Alright sign me up. Maybe we need to build a station and name it Boatmurdered.

No need for that just yet. I'm sure we can come up with our own little crime against nature and good reason.

[The Error]

Boatmurdered station, a name that doesn't bode well for much of frakking anything.

[QuesoExplosivo]

Sign me up!

I loaded up a Mun base.

After some shifting around.

Pre-.21 craft are uncontrollable bar a select few(by uncontrollable I mean brakes are always on and lights have to be manually toggled) But this should affect only rovers.

Cleaning up KSC.

I may be done by Tuesday. I'll start some new places for reasons(asteroid base)

EDIT:

Do as you will fendelton.

TADA!!!

Sorry for the delay, lost track of this thread. I have downloaded the persistence file and will slot it into a save. I'm guessing that it's sandbox mode.

Edit: Starting on Year 1, Day 117. 49 flights in progress, and I've no idea what's going on. Not really doing the timeslot rules, are we? Ah well. I'll just go for exactly one year from this point.

Edit 2: Tried de-orbiting a spaceplane. Uncontrollable (crew survived, but the plane didn't). Tried activating a munbase. Nothing worked. This savegame isn't particularly reliable. Still, I've got an idea for what I can do with it. Fortunately the space stations themselves seem to mostly work. I'm going to lob a new Mun base up and land it on the surface.

The bases don't work because of the locked gear and brakes. anything new docked goes the same way until you undock, then it's fine:) Try to land the new base next to the mun arch one.
