Is it even likely that marksdwarves will be useful against voidspawn? Do crossbow bolts (even steel) have enough force to punch through voidspawn flesh?

Dwarven Machinegunners, stand by.

We will build expansive ballista batteries. It's grossly inefficient, difficult to set up and more likely than not to end up in multiple friendly casualties. It's the dwarven way.

Welcome to Murdermachines. Try the gecko sauce; it's delectable and delightful, a wonderful blend of savory and spicy that makes any dish delicious without being too overwhelming.

(Warning: Do not ask about the manufacturing process for gecko sauce)

We did ballistae before. So long as we're not up against deer, we'll be fine.
Also, about friendly fire. If it kills the infected, so much the better!

Amusingly, he's a Marksdwarf, which gives me the mental image of him conducting medical malpractice an appendectomy from fifty paces with a crossbow.
On bay12, a poll option of basically 'nuke the world' named 'Apocalypse Hitler' is like asking an alcoholic if they want some whiskey.

No. I suppose there are similarities, but I'm fairly certain angry birds doesn't let me charge into a battalion of knights with a car made of circular saws.

Tryrar, have you added your name to the Dorfinator? Check the first page if you haven't; I set up a shared spreadsheet we're using to track all the names we're using in Murdermachines.

The closest thing we have to what some call 'allies' gets slaughtered in front of our gates. Unfortunately they don't transform into mindless beasts, trying to kill us.

What!? No! I didn't play through most of my turn only to have this fortress die!

Please don't shitpost, it lowers the quality of discourse
Hard science is like a sword, and soft science is like fear. You can use both to equally powerful results, but even if your opponent disbelieve your stabs, they will still die.

Well, nobody before him with the exception of the founder has completed a term yet. Why break tradition now?

Generally, when one is conducting an experiment, it is worth noting that the observers went insane, killed each other, and then rose from the dead.
It's like DF inhaled a peanut.

That's it. I'm thoroughly convinced at this point that we have managed to release an actual eldritch horror and that instead of coming for the game, he's coming for us.

Slenderman, thy name is Terry.

While turns are being processed, could somebody explain Terry to me?

Terry is the madness.

It comes from a quote from the original Deathgate thread:
Nope, that's just the Deathgate Madness warping reality itself.  We call the madness Terry and scold him whenever reality breaks.

Bad Terry, bad!

I like that! I will try to institute that term in other games
