Giving thanks to the friends of the fortress..
« on: November 17, 2014, 05:14:40 pm »

First, all thanks to the Great Toad for bearing down and birthing DF for us all :> Otherwise we wouldn't be here (well, here at the forum, joined in bearded camaraderie, anyway, bahaha), and we wouldn't have had this much fun..

This thread is truly for everyone else, though.. To all the modders, the DF Talk-transcribers, the bug reporters and the donators, to the LP'ers and tutorial-makers, wiki-updaters..

I often think of DF as an all-Toad work, when it truly is not.. This thread was spurred by seeing "Made plants that grow in winter-spring plantable at all proper times (Quietust)" in the last main page update, and thinking on how many times I've seen it..

Fixed many typos (Gorobay)
Fixed problem dividing out item milligrams in weapon velocities (UristDaVinci)
Adjusted contact area/depth of ammo, max velocity of shooters (Joben)
"Thanks to Zivilin, Pirate Bob, UristDaVinci, Joben, Bertinator and many others that performed various experiments and so on."
"Stopped autosave features from corrupting worlds (thanks to everybody that helped sort that out so quickly!)"
" Thanks to all the birthday well-wishers... that was reasonably intense."

So.. Thanks to everyone that has ever helped DF grow, financially or functionally. We've got a lot of unsung heroes, similar to Batman and Gotham, or knights and their castle :> This thread is for singing about them :D I'll start!

Thank you, Quietust, for providing what I believe is the only Q avatar on Bay12
. Just wouldn't feel like home without it ;) ... ... ... :D Seriously though, deepest thanks to all active friends of the fortress!

I'd like to thank you for the mental image of a (male) toad giving birth.

More seriously, thanks to everyone who has helped shape Dwarf Fortress into the wonderful game that it is, thanks to the forum for being patient with my questions, and thanks to WanderingKid for making that aquifer video that finally helped me get the double-slit method right.

Thank you for having an avatar that makes me feel like my screen is stretching every time I look at it.
