Ok, there are a few things I have been wondering for a long time, and I want answerers, and I think most of the community agrees.
This is serious, I want TOADYS answers, and whiting reasonable time.
Sorry to do such a hostile sounding thread, you know we love you to the point you'd consider unhealthy, I sometimes even get guilty because I check the forums so often I might strain the server.
This was triggered but the interview today, I just cant hold this any more.

Ok, to to the interrogation.

First a light one; how do you back up there forums?
I know the source code of DF is safe, so this is a question concerning the safety of the other most important thing in my life; all these wonderful stories and discussions, many of which I haven't even read yet.
Rely, if I knew these forums were as safe as the source operantly is it would lift a terrible weight from my shoulders.

Second question, an more important one even than that;

DO YOU READ THE COMMUNITY'S STORIES?

Really, how many and which ones?
Boatmurdered? Nist Akath? A Kobolds Quest? All the stuff linked
here?
What about the seemingly unrelated ones? Like this?
And if so, how much inspiration do you take from there?
One of you great goals whit this game was to make it create stories, and it is, but you must also let the stories flow the other way, your brother is not the only one that can write stories worthy of inspiration.
Please do read something other than the bug reports.
Actually, I'd at least personally if this in not the case go so far as to even read up on the best pieces at the cost of developing speed if necessary.
Don't get so obsessed at nurturing the tree that you forget to harvest the fruit.

[/overly serious]
And I know this can be taken the wrong way, sorry for that.

You forgot to use your serious type.

Emm, it was a slight exaggeration somewhere in my post about that, I meant he might take a day of the dev to read some of the really important stuff like Nist Akath.

I *DID* excuse for that it could be taken the wrong way.
And I am kinda arrogant, such is my nature, nothing really wrong whit it.

And for the cure... maybe the ego-inflating fact that I actually DO consider him a demigod without exaggeration is nought?

...you think there's nothing wrong with being arrogant?

Wow.

If Fenrir wasn't fake gone, Armok would be RPing with him somewhere instead of making ridiculous topics.

He's the god of blood, arrogance kind of goes with the territory.

[Armok]

I was actually being serious.

Couldn't this be handled via email correspondence?

Isn't this of interest to everyone?
At least to those writing stories here?

"all the dwarves were talking 'silence,silence' and the energy they took to do it
ment something completly different. And then Urist said : 'Let the king speak'"

Being arrogant can be extremely helpful in many career fields.
Being nice and polite gets you ignored, while being an obnoxious pain in the arse gets you promoted so you're out of the way.
Also a healthy dose of arrogance and overly optimistic self-perception would probably help prevent depression, make it easier to find persons willing to engage in sexual contact, etc.
Note however I'm more the polite, silent, trying to be nice type. I've also been single for the past eight years and my career plans just went down the drain ...
