Merry Dorfmas!
« on: December 23, 2010, 11:36:20 pm »

Every year on the 25th of Moonstone, all the Dwarves gather 'round the great Dorfmas tree and celebrate every Dwarf's favorite holiday: Dorfmas! Dorfmas is a holiday in remembrance of the great Emperor Sankis, bastard son of Armok who was stripped of his beard and burned for the sins of Boatmurdered and all of Dwarven-kind. May his charred bones be dug up and made into a masterpiece totem rest in peace. Each year, around the time of this celebration, Dwarven fortresses around the world are visited by a mysterious caravan, guided by a solitary Dwarf who answers to the name St. Burialgears.

This lone caravan driver arrives at the trade depot each year bearing sacks full of the finest Dwarven ales and whiskey, kitten tallow biscuits, and ☼toys☼. He bestows these gifts upon his Dwarven brethren, and accepts nothing in return. Then, without a word, the caravan rolls off into the darkness, as the driver chuckles and wishes all a merry Dorfmas.

By far, the greatest and oldest tradition of Dorfmas takes place the night of Dorfmas eve. All the Dwarves, both the tall and the small short and shorter, gather at the magma pit and sing the traditional Dorfmas carols! The eve of Dorfmas is almost upon us, friends! So please, share with us your favorite Dorfmas traditions, sing your favorite Dorfmas carols, or join along with me to sing one of the most popular carols: The 12 Days of Dorfmas!

Oooooooooohhhhh...
On the first day of Dorfmas a True Dorf gave to me:
A wafer of adamantine!

Flooding the area with magma removes blood, dust, vomit, goo, mud, and dwarves.
Also, I'm composing digital music over in the Forum Games part of the forums!

The True Meaning of Dwarfmas
Heh, I remember that thread, but I never saw St. Othlo before somehow. :D
Still, I thought I'd share my version. By the way:

You're right bro, a character I designed for a donation drive I championed for Toady two years ago is 'ruthless self advertistment', and not at all indicative of the fact that maybe people should consider opening their hearts and wallets to the sole reason we're all here.

So what your saying is that supporting your cartoon is the only way to support Toady, and anybody who dosn't support your little creation is unworthy to play this game?

Nope, just hoping to remind some people of the Dwarfmas celebrations from years past.   Sorry if this somehow offends you, as you're reaching pretty hard to strike out at me here for no reason.

I like to slip into bear caves around midnight and gently caress the carnivore inside before leaving a small cut of fresh fish and sneaking out.
