After dragging up an old thread of the style: you know you have played too much DF when....

it got me thinking. Which type of player are you. I consider myself a veteran because I must have played DF for about a decade now. But I dont consider myself an expert.

I pick up DF roughly between 1 to 3 times a year and then for a few months play it. I could make a graph about how my playtime is spend but it's often an intense period followed by short stints and then some time before something makes me pick it up again.

Usually it's when I've had to read too many posts on 9gag about cod or bf or some other crap that makes me want some quality gaming in my life.

But I'm curious about the other members here how you play? Almost every time I start playing again I visit the quick questions and answer thread multiple times. Overall my own gameplay improves where I use more and more "advanced" features but I still post one or two questions there that should be remembered by now.

So tell us about how you play this wonderful game?

Are you a scientist pushing what can and cant be done?
An advanturer?
On again Off again like me?
Do you like to torture your ~~nobles~~ more idiotic dwarfs?

I just build big, epic forts. Really nice, mostly happy dwarves, but really, really innefficient. It looks really nice, though. Every now and then, I'll build a fort based off the worldgen mountainhomes. That's my playstile.

i am most likely a derp who pushes the ability of the game itself.

Tries (and fails) to construct narratives.

Well how much time I spend playing depends on how attached to/interested in a particular world I can get. I generated a world that I liked, then made an adventurer in it, had great adventures and now I settled him down and am building a great city for my civilzation. Once the city is complete, and my adventurer (somehow) becomes the king of this civ, I'm going to continue the adventure... and try to conquer the world! It's things like this that keep me playing.
Here are some pictures of what I'm currently working on:

The whole thing (note that it's nowhere near completion)

I usually just play as an adventurer and kill beasts until I get bored and start killing people.

An adventurer that usually commits regicide on a daily basis. Sometimes, I play the good guy. Emphasis on "sometimes."
