The Make Bay12 Great Again Eugenics Initiative.

Sorry, can't answer; I'm too busy dry heaving over the implication that the forum population responds to selective pressure and therefore reproduces.

Protip: Sniper Joe and Janet are the same people.

Also, CrocAndBearLover fails miserably. Not that I would do much better, as I stayed out of most of that tomfoolery with the moving fortress and the Pathos and -.


Eyearms are probably something that came about after everyone misunderstood what "eye teeth" were when Toady expanded the body system back in whenever.

The map was actually pretty cool though...

Eyearms were a thought experiment proposed by Armok (the forumer, not the god of blood) to illustrate his higher level of consciousness or something like that.
If I remember correctly.

...y'know, that really doesn't surprise me as much as it should. Is he even still active at all? Armok was always just a fact of the forum, immovable, inescapable. The mascot, in a way.

He has since joined the ranks of the Departed.

Looking back, I am kind of surprised the Second Penguinthread went as well as it did, resulting in only a lock and no bans (though it might have contributed to the bannin of the topic of MLP).

The test is just for show. The actual deciding on who can stay and who must be culled will be made along arbitrary criteria chosen to fit whomever does the deciding.
But don't worry, you're from Norway. The last time your people were unwelcome anywhere was probably when Tryggvasson raided London.

Pounded in the Butt by my own Government... oh wait, that's real life.

Much less active than I used to be on these forums, but I still visit them on occasion. Will probably resume my activity in full once Dwarf Fortress will be released on Steam.

People come and go from the Upper Boards all the time. Only a few migrate here, to the Lower Boards.

All the productive members keep to the Upper Boards. The LB is the dining room where soapmakers and nobles attend endless parties.

A. I don't know why but the way you say this sound extreamly depreasing in the sense of this being some sort of odd slums.
B.I am a bit suprised, I thought there is a large group that do my prosses, just stayed on the Upper Boards more and more active there afterwards.

He feels annoyed after getting into an argument. He felt fondness remembering discussing socialism.
