Winning is dwarf fortress is possible... but in order to win you have to either lose so spectacularly that people seeing your loss are awestruck.

As an example, having your entire site population be on fire at the same time definitely counts as a win.

Or you can make megaprojects. The more grandiose, magma-filled and overly complex, the better.

This is a perfect summation of win.

Good point. I am sorry great masters of DF, I realize now that I have treated DF like a game when it is actually real life.

Play Unreal World RPG, it's the most ironically named game in all existence. It's basically a non-fantasy DF adventure mode, that has dev's who can't tell the difference between a video game, and real life.

But what if you're an Atheist?

The objective Universe cares not what you believe.  If there is a heaven, it exists for atheists as well.  On the flipside, if there is no heaven then it doesn't exist for believers either.

Consider "Pascal's Wager."

And when you gaze upon Vishnu's visage, you simply say "shit, there were more than two options"

Or you can make megaprojects. The more grandiose, magma-filled and overly complex, the better.

By the way, DF wiki has a mention of winning the game. In the article on magma.
