Who's had Fun in Dwarf Fortress?

Yes, ALL THE TIME! Edit: Now, ALL THE TIME!! You must either have a VERY FUN world or you are a Noob. A complete and total noob. Even a noob would call you a noob. DARREN should have a fun time exterminating you!

Not very often. Edit: Mkay

Rarely. Edit: Well... at least you are PROBABLY only minorly(majorly) cheating
- 5 (5.7%)
Never. Edit: Are you cheating?
- 1 (1.1%)
Edit: I should have put a sixth option "What's Dwarf Fortress?" as a kind of social experiment. Maybe even a seventh option as really saying it and this option being sarcasm.

I bet the answer is 42.
Isn't that the number to the question: "What is the meaning of life, the universe and everything?" in the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy???

You know what Dwarf Fortress should have? DRAGONS. And Dragonborns. And Reapers. And Gandalf. Then the Dovahkiin can Fus Ro Dah (Unrelenting Force) Gandalf ("You shall not pass!") and make a paradox!
Thou shalt not pass! Fus Ro Dah!

once i made too much steel, too quickly.
gob ambush came by and murdurized half of the fortress, painting the hallways of the fortress red, before leaving. the fortress died soon after with a tantrum spiral.
so then i save scummed, and made that fortress last for 22 decades.

I once made a adventurer world so hostile you would often start out being attacked by zombie ogres.

I've just tried to breach three-level aquifier for four embarks. Every singe of them eneded with FUN, usually because miners drowned while digging channel.

To me, this is the most boring !FUN!, comparatively i can accidentally open a portal to hell, have my fortress torn to pieces by monsters, experience the wrath of an eldritch abomination, have every dwarf burned alive by the very blood of the earth or... i can get flooded. That's just not very interesting, and when it happens i just kinda sit there and go "Really?"
