And of course we'd all be behind two layers of fortifications and clear glass windows. Afterall, none of us will be putting ourselves in any danger wahtsoever if we suddenly become dorfs in a video game.
I agree with this (somewhat),
In fact, we'd likely all curl up in the fetal position and cry ourselves to sleep the first couple days while somebody figures out how to mine appropriately.
but not with this. I'm the moron who used to enjoy setting things on fire in RL. The moron who turned his backyard into a dirtbike track. The moron who killed a hornet nest with a flamethrower. And there's no way I'm the only one. I would probably say, "Hey, cool! We're dwarves!" followed by "Holy royal forkulator, nobody's blown anything up yet?!?"
That is the point where I would declare myself miner/mason. I would need to be supervised, though... Closely supervised... preferably by someone who thinks like I do.
That would be rather awesome I believe. With the ingenuity of many players around here, and the work of the not so ingenious like me, we could build a super defenseful fortress where we would live forever in a crazy and fun place! Unless people start killing each other. 
Ahaha, no. We wouldn't kill each other. We of Bay12 enjoy killing dwarves in DF mainly because they're stupid. And if you can figure out DF, it for the most part guarantees you're not stupid. We rarely start flamewars on the forums, and they're quickly quelled - if not by the people involved, then by the thoughtful innocent bystanders who tell the flaming people to shut up because it's pointless.
As it's easier to start fights online anyway, I think we'd do pretty well in person. We wouldn't even need a hammerer. (which is somewhat disappointing because, let's face it, those are badass.)
Also, tripleninja'd.
EDIT:
Also, this.
Armok forgive the Kobold that dares to take a sock from within.
Lol.
