If Bay Forum were a Mountain Hall...
« on: April 04, 2012, 07:56:32 pm »

POOF!! You are Dwarves!
You are at a Mountain!
You have picks, supplies, food for the winter, ere the Wolves grow hungry.

How would the population of the forums deal with a Dwarfish World?
Who would be the leaders?
What would be built or dug?

And most important of all... What would the NAME Of the fort be?
BayForm? Fortress Bay? Baynet?
YOU CHOOSE!

Ask not what the Dwarfs can do for you...
But ask.... why are they drunk all the time?

Well we'd need to get our priorities straight in order to survive, initially focussing our efforts on constructing only what is necessary for the well-being of the fortress.

First order of business, building myself a torture chamber / spike pit.

I'm pretty sure the results of a community-driven fort would be a massive mermaid/sea serpent/shark farm, a giant phallus, and unmarked levers triggering doomsday devices.

As for the fort name, it will probably have the word "Rape" in it.

"The Twelfth Bay" is the most common iteration of DF founded guilds in other games.

Firstly, massive booze production.
Secondly... we're not actually sure.  Once we're all hammered then nature will take its course.

Don't forget magma, elf traps, and HFS clothing sweatshops.

First, my pick and my scary, hairy, grizzled dwarven butt would be taken to migration first off. I have very low faith in leadership.....

here.. let's do it this way:

Weird Joykill is a former member of the Bay12 Forumites, the forums of madness. His slightly curly brown hair is somewhat long. His free lobed ears are somewhat large. His very long nose is somewhat wide. His aquamarine eyes have flecks of yellow, and are lightly sunken. His pronounced cheekbones are high. His overbitten jaw is somewhat wide. His somewhat jutting chin is cleft. The left side of his nose has a small straight scar. The inside of his right thigh has 3 deep purple scars. His right hip has 5 faded slashing scars. His left thigh has a single faded scar. His left hip has 2 faded slashing scars. His right forearm has a round, prominent scar. His cheeks are cleanly shaved. His bear is trimmed short. His mustache is trimmed short.

Weird Joykill is 30 years old, born 27 July, 1982.  He is not a worshiper of any dieties. Weird Joykill likes steel, native aluminum, copper, and cats for their aloofness.  Whenever possible, he prefers to consume beef, chicken, and plump helmets. He prefers to drink prickeberry wine and sunshine.  He absolutely detests large roaches.

He has a firm grasp of literature, a strong interest in sciences and facts, a moderate sense of art, and normal musical ability, but has poor patience for stupidity in others, a poor sense of social situations, and a strong dislike of authority. He doesn't mind woring outdoors and complains only mildly about inclement weather. He needs alcohol to get through the working day.

A short hardy creature fond of food and drink.

Cook
Mechanics
Architecture

How else do you expect to stay warm on the terrifying glacier our fearless leaders embarked on? I mean really! It's a glacier, there ain't no trees! You are sleeping in rough glacial ice, because you don't have a bed!

While I’m all in favour of death for breakfast I think that we’d need to introduce a “no killing the humans” rule.

Let’s be honest, dwarves aren’t much to look at, and if video games and media have taught me anything it’s that elven women, alongside being elves, are stick thin with absolutely zero curves in the right places.

KodKod needs a nice human companion.
