I was under the impression that you played the collective unconsciousness of the dwarves

Fixed

Well, if you assume that all major projects are directed not only by expedition leader, and you control pretty everything like army and peasants and allocation of everything, then you play the role of "collective mind", so  you have no manifestation, but you take the part of the AI role which is unrelated to dwarves' personalities.

Like in any strategy: you're the leader, you're commands flying over the battlefield, you're the immediate thoughts and actions of every unit... You're a collection of individuals' actions, duties, needs and ideas.

Y'all are nuts.

We're a dog in a room with a giant computer, controlling the entire world.

No, no no no no.

We're people... Playing a game.

[GoreTaco]

It's Armok controlling them, that's the only logical answer.
Why else would they butcher kittens and randomly sentence each other to a spike-filled death?

[Byakugan01]

Simple: The mayor just mandated adamantine items even though they're in the middle of a swamp in the middle of nowhere, and everybody knows that the hammerer is a bit overfond of his job. As for the other problems...do you want cats shitting everywhere when they haven't invented litterboxes? Butchery is the only way to make their deaths useful.

At the meetup, somebody gave Scamps a toy you all agreed to call "the thing" or something like that. In any case, Scamps has chewed that in half, and he plays with both parts now.

The things lower body flies off in a bloody arc!

Damn it, you got to it first.

[Techhead]

Whichever Bay-Watcher gave Scamps the aforementioned thing, please step forward to claim your prize. Also, please explain to us exactly what this "thing" actually is.

...Some hidden presence, deep under the "city".

So the player as HFS?

That's a thought.

We could just be, say, the dwarven

You do command them to dig deeper... and your constantly destroying any government that forms...

It was more obvious in the 2d version

The expansive sandbox-iness of the new one cut down on the vein of impending doom.

Hmm there is a list-update for the 24.may but no dev-log entry.

[Toady One]

The dev log is usually dated when my day starts, and I usually date the list whenever I edit it.  Same with the rss feed (not the displayed date in the title but the actual tagged date).
