Reading this gave me a migraine.  Truly a terrible suggestion on a whole new level.

TERRIBLE SUGGESTION ON A WHOLE NOTHER LEVEL, COMING THROUGH MY MIND

Performing poorly with instruments should inflict pain on anyone that can hear it, closer they are the more it hurts. Naturally, we also need the ability to intentionally fumble performance skill checks so we can do this on purpose.

I quoted it to better read it

Damage is usually to the ears, can have a possibility of exploding the ears, can hurt the player of the instrument the most, as they are of course the closest to the ear breakers. Instruments that have caused ears to explode are now called ear breakers. This cannot be deleted or changed even when renaming

The ears are now the root body part all creatures have, replacing upper body. Any creature that loses its ears dies instantly, as if bisected (now called "ear-sected".)

Cave blobs are now called cave ears. Blob FBs are now forgotten ears. Giant sponges are now giant ear sponges. And so on.

Isn't this how bards work?

"Roll performance."
"That's a one."
"Their heads explode."

OH SNAP WE FORGOT TO MAKE ONE IN HONOR OF WEED MONTH.

Dorfs can craft pipes to smoke hemp buds marawanna.  If your dorfs do smoke marihwanya, they gain a happy thought but move slower and eat tons of food.  Smoking marinara also has a chance to teleport them to the bottom of the map, because IF YOU DO DRUGS, YOU'LL GO TO HELL BEFORE YOU DIE.

Demons get confused, they think smoking marinara is the thing that keeps them here, since they see dwarves doing it. So demons smoke marinara too, and will try trading with dwarves to obtain it

The game already has tomatoes and garlic. Toady just needs to add olive oil and bay leaves and the dwarves can make marinara.

I thought we did have olive oil? By squeezing in the screw press?
Also, make dwarves need oil to reproduce.

Late reply:

Game calculation is also made via email. Players receive calculation tasks they have to solve and send back. When everything is calculated the game tick ends.
That would be a vilanious scheme of Toady to popularise math.

interesting. What happens when there is an error?

Crowdfortressing. Multiple people are sent the same calculations (e.g. whether cell [34,76,23] changes temperature and, if so, by how much) and their answers are compared[1]. Outliers are rejected (personal ratings downgrade) and concensus - if any - is reached (raising other personal ratings), or else further requests are made of more and more subscribers until one is. It would be distracting and inclined to generate bias to pass along the contexts, of course, so any value identities are randomised/normalised to entirely nonrelevant labels.

You have to the in the top 20% of those so rated to be the player in the game, to try to ensure at least five people are supporting (or trying to wreck) every tick of every actual game in progress. Though as no-one bothered to crowdcalculate that estimate it was not actually discovered to be a very very wrong assumption regarding those supply and demand quantities.



Can't remember if I/someone else suggested this before: Random reshuffling of Z-levels at various intervals. And a relatively high chance of total reversal of vertical order.

What are they? Elves?
