I don't want to sound dramatic but DF is full of quitters, PF is for experienced players only, and my FC can't help me right now.
I'm just looking for 7 other players who won't leave after the first wipe: pros or first timers I don't care, as long as you're patient and willing to learn/help. I know I'm not alone - I have met some people in the same situation again and again in DF, but because of that one player who leaves, the party disbands shortly after.
We could discuss it here, form a linkshell or please, if something like this exists already direct me to it.
Thanks

As a PS, I would like to thank all the experienced players who have been patient, explained the strategy multiple times, marked enemies and spots and just have been very kind and didn't give up on us new players. I'm very grateful for your help; you've made all the wipes a lot less stress than what they could've been.
