Dwarves are represented by a large D.

That would look like ass.

[Chagen46]

Ugh, this thread started out funny, but then everyone thought "HERF DERR ILL POST A SUGGESTION THATS ACTUALLY PRETTY COOL AND ITLL BE FUNYNY BECAUSE OF THAT HUEHUE"

News flash, guys: you're not being ironic for posting a suggestion that's pretty interesting/cool/good in a joke thread. It just makes you look like a sad attention-lover.

[Callista]

Uhh... dude, we're having fun. lighten up.

[Dorfimedes]

I'm not actually sure what you're ranting about. You can make a thread for serious, short suggestions if it bugs you that much. Also, a joke to one person might be a sound idea to another.

[misko27]

Also, a joke to one person might be a sound idea to another.

That is practically the whole point of DF.

[The Bard]

I don't know guys, he did use Caps Lock and 4chan parlance. I think he might have a point...

[LARD]

I have an idea that is legitimately dumb!
Genetic engineering, that way you could breed fire breathing badgers and magma carp in game!
Or if you're really masochistic, you could make your own forgotten beasts.
Probably in some mod.
Hope I'm not repeating anyone.

This may or may not be ironic, I am not sure what the true definition is, but its goddamn funny.

I think that your thinking that it's ironic is correct.

[misko27]

Ahh, ironic, defined as that which is the opposite of what one would expect. The fact that a random person derails a thread is not ironic, as someone was going to do it anyway.

[Hanslanda]

I deliberately wasn't going to use ironic, because so many people use it incorrectly. I'd rather not use it, and remain correct than misremember the definition. Although thank you for the definition.
And also, I think loving attention is the basis of all human society, seeing as how we are social animals, and our big fancy brains evolved to allow us to love attention more.


Dwarves have to have a minimum amount of time a month they get to socialize, or they begin tantrumming. Then go beserk after two months.

Thank you, Ninjawords.

[Hanslanda]

Ah, so it was ironic that Chagen was denouncing us for being attention lovers, when he himself was also an attention lover.

[MaximumZero]

My favorite definition of irony comes from some Irish comedian or other.

[Sus]

Instead of tables or chairs, you can only order workshops to build "furniture".
Oops, looks like you got another weapon rack, better luck on a bed next time!
