On the region map they appear as a red trap symbol (default ^), and on the local map as a red magma tile (default ).

If you're putting dwarves in that vessel, fill it with water so they're drowning, release the vessel, the use a lever of some sort to do something to empty the vessel of water.

Is it really so hard to spell "more" correctly. Every time I read a post by someone who thinks its cool to have misspelled a word I get the image of a 13 year old that probably likes anime porn.  Do they market special keyboards that include a "moar" button on cartoon porn websites?

Is it really so hard to use a question mark at the end of a sentence?  Every time I read a question that ends in a period I picture a malfunctioning robot handyman trying to ask its master for metric sized machine screws.

I could do the same for you mispelling "its" instead of "it's", you know ?

I'm using a cellphone, which doesn't differentiate between the two. A grammar error attributed to quick typing or a touch screen phone is fine. Though my first sentence wasn't a question, it was contemplative which doesn't require a question mark. The intentional misspelling of a word is just idiotic. If you like it that's... No I don't care what you think. Just stop posting links to cartoon network gone wild please.

'moar' is a deliberate mis-spelling. Learn to internet, please.

Indeed, while sometimes "moar" is overused, "moar volcanoes" seems rather appropriate

I doubt there are very many deliberate attempts at being moronic. I'm pretty sure it just comes naturally. I just don't understand the obsession with misspelling any word. Maybe it's me. I cringe every time someone uses a pointless misspelling. Maybe I need to get out less. I could spend more time alone. See my family and friends less. Move into a basement. Only use the internet to find places I can misspell more. Man, that'd be l33t.

It certainly would be l33t, i wholeheartedly agree. That sounds like an excellent plan, actually. I think we should all move into our basements and move all our stuff down there. God it would be awesome. And I'd finally have a reason to do some much-needed repairs, too. We could have giant basement parties, and before the flooding problem is fixed we'd have a nice big swimmingpool too.

Well you just refuted the theory that Dwarf Fortress attracts a more educated crowd. That guy who posted the theory on the Lamb-Chapyblin dipole is going to be disappointed.

Do you really deliberately omit question marks on contemplative thoughts? Rhetorical questions? Because you don't. Do try not to be insulting to your fellow forumite, let alone for petty things such as internet dialect.
If you do regardless, at least be impeccable yourself.
