Elf Forest
« on: August 04, 2007, 12:24:00 am »

Since using the search here and at the DF wiki brings no results, I was wondering if anyone has seen this:
http://www.dwarffortresswiki.net/index.php/Main_Glade

"Elf Forest"?  :eek:

It's strange - all the links lead to DF wiki pages. Is this a game in development, an april fools joke (one I am sorely late for) or what?

From the talk page:

I admit, I fell for it. Possibly because it looked more like vandalism than a prank. Ravana 04:11, 1 April 2007 (EDT)

   Some one really should change it back. Ain't gone 12 yet here though. --Markavian

   Someone come up with something funnier than posing as ADOM Central? --Chojin

       Elf forest is cool. I like that. Do we really have to revert it after midnight? --Schnobs

           Ahaha, I knew it was an April Fool's gag when I saw it, but it's so awesome it should be archived on a separate page before we revert it.

               Done. Main Glade.--Maximus 23:54, 1 April 2007 (EDT)

                   Should someone edit Main Glade to reflect the changes to the main page? Or does everyone think it should be left alone so we can bask in the glory of the original? Slartibartfast 13:51, 9 June 2007 (EDT)

                       Unless someone's actively using it, I don't think it needs to be updated. It's a snapshot of the joke.--Maximus 16:17, 9 June 2007 (EDT)

I like the suggestion that elven buildings are planted rather than built. And, of course, that they convince animals to help them a la Flintstones.
