Toady recently announced that his birthday is coming up.

Do something to pay homage.  Screenshots mandatory.

[KodKod]

We could... give him monies?

[Corai]

I VOTE WE MAKE A FORT EXCLUSIVELY FOR TAMING TOADS.

[Maynot]

I made a generic Happy Birthday map saved just at the point I caused an "accidental" cave-in.  At the end there is a couple dead dwarfs, a dead diplomat, and some gems scattered around.  I want to upload the map but there seems to be some sort of issue somewhere along the line.  (In reality, I was trying to set it up where you could pull a lever to cause the cave-in.  I set it up wrong.)

[SRD]

Make a fortress that's exactly like Portal (with modded in portal guns obviously).
And make him go through it as an adventurer to get the birthday cake :3.

[Maynot]

Ok, I successfully uploaded my "Happy Birthday" fort map/world.  It would be great if we can get all the projects to Toady so he can play/view them.

Here is the page:  http://dffd.wimbli.com/file.php?id=6179

Hmmm, I think I know just the thing...

[King DZA]

Keep on rockin', bro.

I fired up Ol' Swordthunders and made a little thing on the surface of the HFS with DFHack using obsidian and magma

I have a dremel and a box of old Saguaro ribs that are ~1 ft long from my old DF materials property research.

I've been toying with the idea of making an "artifact" out of it for Toady and shipping it over in a tube mailer, but I'm a dabbling wood carver at best.

Any ideas?

[malroth]

lots of hanging rings and menacing spikes?

[Uristocrat]

lots of hanging rings and menacing spikes?

"This is a saguaro rib wood figurine carved out of saguaro rib wood.  All craftsdwarfship is of the highest quality.  It is decorated with hanging rings of saguaro rib wood and menaces with spikes of saguaro rib wood...."

Hmm....

[Schizotek]

I decided to make a birthday card for good ol Toady.

Awww...Aussie beat me to it. OH WELL MINES BIGGER!!!!

[ThatAussieGuy]

I think yours is slightly better Schizotek.  I did do mine IN the HFS, but you did yours properly in-game without cheating.

Btw when I embarked on that birthday volcano I got the message that a shrine had been discovered. I assume this shrine is the random perfect rectangle of basalt, with basalt pillars of random height and a hill titan chillaxin in it. WTF is this. Doesn't seem like something that could be modded in so I assume its a vanilla feature. Never encountered or heard of this. So what gives?
