The 314th post was made on the anniversary of pi. Coincidence? I think not. Especially when you consider that this, the 25th post was made on the 27th Anniversary of the birth of the first test tube baby.

My god you remind me of the thing I read on boreme.com about weird 9/11 coincidences... let me see if I can dig it up...

Be sure to read the response in the link under it, really funny

More than 20 years ago, 9/11, Pinochet slaughtered the democratically elected goverment in Chile, a sad event indeed, oh you mean WTC? Well yes, that's sad too.
Anyway, the response is right.
Also, Svirfneblim= 11 letters.
So the deep gnomes are problematic.
edit:sorry that the above could sound offensive to US people, that wasn't my intent.

No... I think that's a much sadder event, to be brutally honest. We still have our government, at least for now. =/

Hmm.  Someone mentioned the idea of Dwarf Fortress  allowing players to rename things via data files, right?

Well, then!  Prepare to play Dwarf Fortress meets LCS:  Congressional Fortress!  Order your drunken, gold-greedy Senators as they mine Capitol Hill for lucrative veins of government contracts!  Construct vast, utterly useless projects!  Funnel money into the creation of a bloated and yet still underequipped military, then use it to fight off infiltration by halfling radicals!  For an endgame, re-enact the Scouring of the Shire as your forces unilaterally 'reconstruct' Shiraq into a beacon of global Dwarfocracy!

Ooooooh, does that include useless space programs that won't result in the colonization of mars until the year 2215?

[Svirfneblim]

So, with some modding you could have 'fallout fortress' where your brave survivors carve into a mountain, tap into pre-nukewar artifacts and fight mutants?
Or a goblin fortress with the dwarfs as enemies...
Hmm, and morlocks... and talibs...

Wow! Toady is still working on this! I thought hew would've commited ritual suicide by now.  :eek:

ASCII games rule.  is it going to run in real time, or turn-based?

[Toady One]

It is real time, but slow paced.  It is paused whenever you are giving orders.

My brother's birthday is August 5th, and I'm working on a present for him (it won't be out quite by then).  Then more and more dwarves.  Teaching starts at the end of August I think.

[Eagleon]

That's my birthday too. o.o; Going to be 18. A new moon. *freaks out*

[Toady One]

Zonk is 3 days after that too.  THE WHEEL KEEPS TURNIN', BABY!

[Zonk]

I still breathe. 17 years is quite old, you know...but still something keeps me alive in my ripe old age: knowing that SOMEDAY we will have a REALLY playable and enjoyable Slaves to Armok. Because we WILL HAVE IT, right Toady? :-

[Eagleon]

Is the :- a blank-check sort of smiley, or something else? xD

[Zonk]

[After 15 days spent thinking to an answer]
It's a sort of smile. It's not anything rude...Believe me. Only now I realize that ":-"could actually be mistaken for..umh...a fertility symbol :-)
