Yeah I probably should have posted this first, but, yeah, may as well do it now.

I've been playing for about a month now, and while I'm by no stretch of the word an expert, I'm starting to get the hang of things (managed to go about six years without all hell breaking loose in my fortress).

Anyway, I had come across this by chance while browsing lets plays, took some time to read through boatmurdered and thought 'what the hell I'll try it'. Been hooked ever since, partly because it proves my theory that you don't need state of the art graphics that make most graphic cards melt to have a good game (really, compare some of the really old games that came out before 3D graphics really hit to the newer games and you can see a big differance as far as the gameplay, with the older ones tending to be deeper than the newer ones), and personally I think going out of the way to have those kinds of graphics kinda makes for a bad game considering the time spent on said graphics rather than the game its self. But, I'm rambling now... Anyway, yeah, the depth of this game is what keeps me playing for hours on end (where else can you devise a trap system powered entirely by cats, or entertain your workers with a glass shaft running down the center of your fort that periodicly drops goblins to their deaths?). So yeah, good job Toady (and anyone else who may have worked on this).

Damn! Why didn't I think about that?

Urist Mcdwarf has been ecstatic lately. He witnessed a green skin fall to his death recently.

He admired a fine glass shaft. He kicked a kobold into a pit lately.

He also enjoyed kicking that bastard purple duchy down the shaft.

[Skanky]

Welcome, sorta?

[Yuu_Inohara]

wow, I really didn't think the whole glass shaft thing was all that big, just a weird idea I came up with to dispose of the caged goblins that were piling up from sieges and ambushes.

[Jackrabbit]

You're proud, don't deny it. I would be.

[WorkerDrone]

That. Is indeed. Moar awesome then the cruddy Arena I just constructed. And I even did it Roman style. And now that forts gone to.

Can't believe nobody said this..

Urist McDwarf has been ecstatic lately. He shafted a goblin recently.

You're rolling around on the floor spazzing out because you did something great.  It's okay, you earned it.

Yanlin has been ecstatic lately. He has had a punchline stolen from him recently.

Eh, I probably will after I'm done turning the abandoned goblin buildings into water towers (Full disclosure: I uh... Kinda miscalculated when I began channeling the brook on the other side of the map so I had a water supply in my recent fort so now I have a wall of water heading for me so, in order to save my fort I've walled myself up and built a set of retracting bridges over my open air statue garden to prevent flooding while digging from my artifact vault (8 Z-levels down), a ways away from my fort and digging a sorta pipe system up into the goblin towers which I am in the process of sealing, once I open the tunnel at the surface it should buy me enough time to set about fixing the leak, assuming my dwarves ever get their asses in gear) anyway, thanks for the welcomes and complimenting and such, from the looks of things I'll be enjoying my stay here.
