You seem to be confused on the definition of strawman argument. Besides, the only one arguing is you.

A strawman argument is when somebody attacks your argument in a way that does not address the point of the argument. Such as saying 'Your too ugly to make a propper argument, therefor you are wrong!' or changing the subject of the argument by taking it out of context.

Also, that's no fun! Threads are boring without any level of conflict, it's just a bunch of people sitting about nodding their heads! Debate does not need to be heater or aggressive.

A strawman argument is a misrepresentation or exaggeration of your opponent's argument made in order to more easily refute it, not making up a new argument entirely. But if you want argument, let's argue about something related to thread topic and not get ourselves deleted, hmm?

Extra 'p'.

Fun fact: Attacking somebodys gramma or spelling constitutes a straw man argument.

This is false, though I'll not bother repeating after Gatleos. Also, I corrected you only because you made the same error repeatedly, and thus I assumed you were unaware that it was wrong. Obviously, if it were a mere accident, it would be pointless of me to attempt to inform your mistake, and my kindness would thus be squandered.

There can be discussion which is not debate. Communal creation is a good example the springs readily to my mind, and the sharing of information. There's plenty besides those things, of course.

So back to the topic...

Notch said that he was inspired by Dwarf Fortress when he made Minecraft and that he wanted to make it similar. Even though I think Notch has lost "his vision" for Minecraft in way of accomodating to the "Moar cake, Moar pixel art" people, what if Notch made a 3D Fantasy Simulator akin to Adventure Mode? I personally hope the devs of DF somehow incorporate 3D in the next installment Dwarf Fortress but then again that will probably never happen.

Sounds cool. But then again, anything inspired by Toady's work can't be that bad, can it?

Notch actually is planning on adding a "Dungeon Mode" where you adventure around with a sword. Not sure how it's going to work out.

Just for the general information of everyone. Dwarf fortress have 3D graphics, a major interface overhaul and several graphics tools to make the management of your dwarfs easier. Just install the right utilities.

[Raging Mouse]

Well... Dwarf Fortress in 3D would be cool, but as previously mentioned, Toady has actually progressed from 3D to this current interface.

Still... Dwarf Fortress in 3D.... a bit like this, perhaps? But with more of everything? Blood, especially...

That's an ad hominem, not a strawman, you stupid person who is therefore wrong.

Yeah! No use in arguing with someone who can't even make the difference between those terms.
