Something tells me that horseplay is going to be absolutely deadly, and we are going to have to invent some new fort design aspects to minimize its deadliness.

Oh lord I can just imagine it. This release goes out and everyone's dwarves are killing themselves during little skirmishes.

We need mining helmets.  I.E. hats that protect against falling rocks and scrapping your face against the floor.

Zach and I are also preparing for a trip in three days, for a CCP panel discussion on art over in CCPland.

CCP?

Yes, all I can get Googling is stuff on the Chinese Communist party.  Though of course they may be hosting a forum on game art...

This one.  They develop EVE Online, a DF MoMA-buddy, and they're having the MoMA design curator and the Canabalt guy and me over for a panel on games and art and stuff as part of their giant party.  Sort of a surprising happening, but it should be fun to visit.

Will patrols loaded in the area the player is in respond to crimes occurring there at the time? Such as if the player is involved in a nice, noisy brawl with some NPC criminals or something, guards will come to break it up?

[arkhometha]

Good luck on the CCP-thing, Toady and ThreeToe, and have fun guys! You deserve it!

Give those commies hell. Sorry, couldn't resist.

Communism itself is fine. Human greed fucked it up.

Thanks, and sounds pretty decent of them to have invited you.  Hope you enjoy the trip!

Communism itself is not fine.

It is Envy vs. Greed with lust for power as cheerleader. It is result of people being stupid enough to be taken advantage off and then delivering mob justice.

It is just pseudo-intelectual wet dream that ignores basics of human psychology and is quite evil in I-know-what-is-best-for-you way. In reality, it is just political tool to gain power by rallying masses and giving them convenient enemy (their boss) they already hate and envy.

Communism works by awakening raider-pillager-mob mentality.

There is nothing good that can even come out of such thing.

You didn't even need to bring it up, it was a joke.

That said, I can't wait for CCP's shindig, I was really looking forward to more information on WoDO, and now Toady's gonna be there too it'll only get even more interesting.

Human greed taints the altruistic mentality.

That is all highly inappropriate for this sector of the forums. The Wrath of the Toad may descend upon us all if it does not end!

The political system isn't evil (except inherently totalitarian ones), but countries with corruption or ambitious and charismatic leaders all tend to wind up the same. There's not much difference between a country where everything belongs to the government and one guy controls the whole government, and a country where everything belongs to a company that's owned by the head of state.

When you think about it, there's never been an actual Communist country, seeing as those claiming it wound up like it in name only. How can people control the means of production if they can't vote on it? No one can say whether Marx was right or not since nowhere ever passed through the steps of development in the right order (he said a country would have to be a capitalist republic first for it to work.)

Taking this in a more on-topic direction, I can't wait till the game's advanced enough for impoverished, malnourished peasants to have an insurrection.
