DF is, above all else, a Plot Generator. The Legends screen tells us of many stories. However, it's the unforeseen things, the unpredictable, that make DF such an amazing game.

Jreengus Occured makes perfect sense given the Kobold's intelligence and level of communication, and yet it was still an unexpected finding. It's funny, it's in the devlog, and it embodies the spirit of the game. Make a little blurb explaining it, and quoting the devlog, and bam, no confusion.

As requested, there will be another week for this round of voting. I was considering the possibility that another week or more might be necessary to get the feedback needed.

As far as the title goes, I would like the site to have a random title (titles?) at the top of the page, sort of like how the main dwarf wiki has two random quotes. Is this possible with Wikia? I'm not familiar with some of the finer points of wikis.

If so, the front page could have a randomly selected title, as well as two randomly-selected quotes from stories on the wiki (selecting from a list just like on the DFwiki). Each story quote would also conveniently link to that story.

Anyway, anyone who hasn't voted yet may still vote until next Saturday, at least.

Yeah, I've been considering that one. I think I accidentally left it off the list, though. That's part of what the second voting round will be for; any names that might have been overlooked or suggested late.

I actually suggested it in the first reply to the thread.  ;)

I think of all the names, Jreengus Occured included, this one would be the best, because DF itself has it in the title screen, and it fits.
