the game uninstalls itself.

One does not simply uninstall Dwarf Fortress. You never install it in the first place! You cannot undo an undone action.

[Hanslanda]

Its like the computer always had DF and you simply discovered it, and when you 'uninstall' it, you simply are choosing to forget it works.

[The Bard]

A new type of invader that arrives on your map, gathers all the plants, chops down all the trees, mines out all the exposed ore and puts it on a supply train going off the map. They only attack if your dwarves try to make use of those same resources or their mining operations breech your fortress.

They also put up a competing trade depot and if the caravans reach that one first, you don't get to trade that season.

They siege by trying to sealing your fort up and dumping miasma causing garbage and other tantrum inducers in.

That sounds like fun, but It couldn't possibly effect isolationist forts. The ability of my dwarves to destroy things would be put to good use against such a enemy.

That would certainly add an element of realism to the game.
It's an element of reality that I wish to ignore though 

[WriterX]

What DF needs are more dog and cat breeds. Which Dwarf Noble wouldn't want a poodle for a pet? How about a Welsh Corgi for the Hammerlords to ride on? Or... an English Bulldog, to act as the Dwarven King?

I vote... aye!

[Dr. Melon]

4a) If you reach a population of 200 dwarves before the King arrives, the balance of power shifts and all professions with at least 10 members will form labor unions. These unions will make sure the work is distributed equally ("Oh, you wanted the ☼Legendary☼ Weaponsmith to make that axe? Sorry, it's Competent Kadol's turn"), go On Break twice as often as other dwarves, and will declare a strike if they think their living quarters are too shabby.

This actually sounds legitimately interesting.

[Eric Blank]

Why did I read that as "Egyption ovary?"

Urist McFreud has some interesting theories about that sort of thing.
I've made an appointment for you to see him.

I made an appointment with my bed and cereal bowl. Problem solved it seems.

I blame lack of sleep and the fact he capitalized "eruption".

[SixOfSpades]

Miners who are disoriented for any reason (including both drunkenness and excessive sobriety) lose their picture-perfect sense of direction and spatial awareness, resulting in things like accidentally digging a non-level floor and driving their pick right through your bedroom ceiling, or tunneling off in the wring direction entirely and plowing right into the lake.

There are no dwarf women, their children simply spring out of holes in the ground. Each muddied soil tile has a 1% chance to generate a dwarf baby every 1st of Hematite.

The game employs realistic lighting: All areas that are Inside, Underground, Dark are represented by completely black tiles. The only way to "see" what is on each tile is by 'k' looking around, and even then, the text is dark gray on black.

1.Dwarves, elves, goblins and humans being able to breed with eachother and create mixed races.

2.Dwarves giving birth outside of wedlock.
Sorry did you want dwarf fortress? It's human fortress now! Oh wait. The elven merchants impregnated some and the kobold siege impregnated some more.

 You are now playing half-elf, half-goblin fortress and you will LIKE IT!

If these offspring had the ability to reproduce then science would define dwarves, goblins, humans and elves as the same race! I could not allow this to be true!

[Dorfimedes]

Man don't even pretend that hybrid races wouldn't be rad as fuck. Yeah, maybe it's a little cliche but it's a damn interesting one, there's a lot of things you can do with it! I mean, we already have mendelian genetics!

[Blizzlord]

I agree on that it would be cool, but if they could reproduce then the scientific laws on races would define them all as the same.
And elves being a subrace of dwarves in unacceptable!

This is Dwarf Fortress. Science can kindly fuck right off, unless it's !!Science!!

oh god why does your avatar change

I thought that was Loud Whispers' deal
