Where we look at our dwarfy selves and ask profound questions. I will give a list of mostly fictional people from human media and ask you guys how you think dwarves would think, do, and interact upon the discovery of these. You can do it in any way you wish. Maybe you want to treat as a journal entry, or as an engraving. I am curious as to what you guys come up with. I prefer humor by the way. Oh and also feel free to suggest anything to add to the list below:

Smurfs
Snorks (the underwater ones)
Care Bears
Ewoks
Jedi

1.  They would generally admire smurf society but would quickly ask awkward questions about smurf's VPL settings.  They would ask the question "what does smurfette do?" at which point the smurfs would patiently explain that Smurfette is supposed to be an idle noble and since that stopped working Smurfette has simply had all her labours disabled.  Then a heated argument would break out between them as to whether [MENIAL_WORK_EXEMPTION] not working is a bug or a feature and whether there is any reason with Toady's latest labour developments for each smurf to have nearly all their labours disabled.  But since smurfs have no weapons and dwarves are not allowed by the code to launch invasions due to a lack of invasion conditions everything works out peacefully.

2. Obviously they would try to start a snork breeding program and try slaughter them for their valuable bones.  At which they would realise they have the [INTELLIGENT] tag and this was not allowed, causing must despair among the dwarves.

3. They would be amazed as to how a single civilization managed to obtain such a variety of colours when the historical character to site ratio is so low.

4. They would quickly mistake them for elves.

5. They would ask the jedi which human god they were or whether they were just another demon in disguise.

The real questions that must be asked are...

How would dwarves react to atomic energy and weapons?

How would dwarves react to space?

How would dwarves react to MTV?

How would dwarves react to tequila? 

How would dwarves react to Justin Bieber? 

How would dwarves react to alcohol fueled rockets? 

1. By digging deeper into the earth and abandoning the surface world completely.

2. They would catapult captured goblins into it.

3. They would ban it for spreading 'capitalist propoganda'.

4. They would stockpile it interchangably with all the other items in the 'drinks' category.

5. At the moment they would imprison him but in the coming release who knows.

6. They would think 'what a waste'.


This is awesome, so I gotta continue with...

How would dwarves react to asteroid mining?

How would dwarves react to peanut butter?

How would dwarves react to the Yellowstone Supervolcano? 

How would dwarves react to Soviet Russia?

1. They would finally see a point in a space mining.

2. They would have trouble stockpiling it properly.

3. They would immediately set up a fortress right on top of it.

4.  They would apply for membership of the Internationale.  Then they would try and buy machine guns with barrels of prepared meals and wonder why that was not working.

1. Yellowstone volcano embark, it does not bode well for the rest of the world.
2. They somehow manage to make supercomputers out of the laptops by linking them together with masterwork granite mechanisms.
3. We must go deeper

For the Sims:  "Ach, why are the humans not mining?  Why can't I tell them to mine?  How does this work if they don't mine?  Where are the forges?  Where are the craftsdwarf's shops?  Where are the dwarves..."

Kerbals: They'd fire the rockets at the ground, with autonomous pick axes attached to the front. Industrial mining.

The Sims; They'd be first irritated by the above-ground nature of the game, then they'd feel irritated by the tiny embark sizes.

1. The Dwarves would make master work engravings how the great YTPMV is.
2  The Dwarves would tame the Ponies and use them as War animals.
3  The Dwarves would use the internet as a new trap that will make invaders be stuck in a dank meme paradox.

How would Dwarves react to Minecraft?

Upon discovering the portal to the blocky world of Minecraft the dwarves would set up a small fort on the other side and proceed to haul in cages with necromancers and war animals. They would quickly learn how to deal with creepers and trap them along with other creatures wondering the world, including the Players. To the horror of everyone witnessing the event, the dwarves would process the Minecraft fauna in necro-meat factories and attempt to breed Steves and Alexes for their valuable bones. Undead and traps would spiral outward as dwarves claimed more land.

The first thing dwarves would do after securing the initial fort would be to dig down. They would build pump stacks and set the above wold on fire with lava. Upon discovering there is no candy beneath the last layer of this world, they would mark the surface with paths of blood and vomit as they searched for their prize. Until the first Nether portal was discovered.

The creatures of Nether would stand no chance against the dwarves who had previously conquered hell in their world. Having wiped out all life near the portal, the dwarves would begin to colonize the dimension. They would make it their home in this blocky world.
