So who exactly is Urist?
« on: October 19, 2013, 12:40:42 pm »

I see the name for the dwarf Urist referenced a lot around here, along with that lengthy thread above full of funniness. I was wondering where that originated from? I would post this in that thread, but it seems to be a game so didn't want to be off-topic.

Just to be clear, Urist is usually just used as the generic dwarf name, with no further connotations. Hence, "What would Urist do?" is about the insane things a typical dwarf would do, not the insane things that particularly insane dwarf called Urist would do.

That makes sense, but I figured there was some epic story someone ran into in the game like a Leroy Jenkins thing :P.

That story LordSlowpoke linked I would say fits that description though haha. Interesting read, thanks!

Confirming LordSlowpoke's link being to the right story. I were there, all those years ago, and saw the meme be born.
