And that is why you don't try insane shit like this. Honesty, you aren't even using mamga! Water, please.

The problem with the water is that once it's 7/7, it doesn't really move anywhere. So only if the dwarves are in 6/7 tiles or lower they will be pushed around.

You do know that youtube link goes to something completely unrelated, right?

Ontopic: One problem I see with this is that you could have the problem of the water escaping the transit system (due to a cat blocking a door or something) and flooding your whole fort, which while being amusing and hilarious to watch, is probably not the result you want.

When it crashes the game, its a bug, when it causes mass homicide, its a feature.

It has a subway getting flooded and killing everyone. I thought of it the second I heard this idea. It seemed on topic enough.

A subway flood happened quite recently here in Finland. A water pipe broke up under our Central Railway Station, and the underground areas of the station were flooded. They managed to fix the pipe, but then they broke it again a few days later. Damages were quite large, but they could have partially compensated them by EPIC WIN by replacing the subway trains with speedboats and submarines where applicable. Needless to say, this win never happened.

On an uninteresting side question, am I the only one whose browser displays this forum incorrectly (no problem with Curses forums for example)?

About half of the babies drowned, but the ones that didn't just collected in the water until they reached childhood and could walk out. At that point they were already expert swimmers.

Ah, DF, you bring tears of joy in my eyes.

Nope. I guess it was just Epiphany (a.k.a The Browser that supports YouTube without needing tinkering the repositories) playing around with the forum theme. Everything displays just nicely now that I switched to a better browser (that requires tinkering the repositories in order to get everything to work, sadly).
