The text is also in Simlish and the player will need to make use of obscure context cues to figure out what dwarves and adventurers are saying (as for the context cues in question, those will be implemented...eventually).

In order to make the game easier to play the simlish text in game is also written in code and requires a special cypher you have to order from Toady, and in order to make sure people can't share them every install of the game has a special unique code that you have to give to Toady in order to get the unique cypher made just for your version.

When decoded, it reads: “Play more Dwarf Fortress.”

Dwarves should have the ability to massage statistics to say anything they want.

This involves giving the bookkeeper a back rub.

Reading his name would trigger it. Thinking of him would trigger it. No other circumstances would trigger it- it was strictly related to the concept of Bill Clinton entering the conscious mind.

We the community should never change the DF wiki namespace. Just keep it on DF2014 forever, even after DF 1.0 releases.

Just give each small update a random 128 bit ID as wiki namespace.

Give each namespace a name that is totally incongruous to the release family it's for.

Every namespace should have its name randomly generated every time you look at the page.

Particularly edgy necromancers should be able to make animated furniture out of the flesh and bone of the dead.

This actually seems like a good suggestion post-mythgen, for worlds on the grimmer and grittier end of the tone sliders.

Dwarves should be able to hold political views. They should group themselves in two; Up and Down.

Live stuff should be done at a convenient time for Europeans.
And they should make sure I have time to watch it.

Live stuff should be done over and over again for several weeks so everyone in every timezone can see it live, and so everyone that didn't catch it the first few times gets to also see it live.

Tarn should make DF open source.

By which I mean he should upload his entire hard-drive to github, along with scans of all of his paper notes, and every book he ever read that inspired DF.
