HELP arghhhhhhhhhhhhh
« on: September 12, 2008, 06:41:04 am »

ok  ok   biggest question involving dwarf fortress for me.   How do any of you get any sleep?   ugh   this game is addicting  I cant stop   

Seriously tho   wow   what an amazing game.   If this game had a fancy graphics engine (not that it needs it)  you know it'd be sitting on the shelves for 50 bucks a pop.   ok enough typing  gotta play some more.

Why do you assume anyone of us gets any sleep?

We let our dwarves sleep for us ;D

I have a legendary bedroom that I mined out myself.

I only need to sleep for about an hour.

In the first Police Academy movie, the character "Mahoney" had a three-word quote which I will not repeat so as to avoid offending the tender and delicate sensibilities of my fellow forumgoers.  I never truly understood the meaning of this quote until I played DF.

Yeah, sometimes i go on a 2-day cycle of sleep: Play df all night one day, sleep al night the next. It's worked out fairly well so far, which irks me since i want to be able to sleep at night and wake up in the morning regularly.

Do you have any cats? I'd suggest chaining them outside your door.

Cat: "THIEF! Protect the hoard!"
