The problem is that the delay caused by the connection would be longer than the delay caused by a low framerate. Even longer than 0.1 fps probably.

I attempt to build intricate traps for my enemies filled with very hot liquids, or to drown them. No successes so far.

Went and dug up this thread again because I keep having 'thinking in DF' moments. I was doing research for a paper on dams, and every time I saw an image of a waterfall I couldn't stop thinking about how low FPS would be. I'm actually starting to get really thrown by it. Any water is giving me vague low-FPS-vertigo sensations, actually, even ones in other games. Damned dwarves are starting to take over my mind :\

Whenever i read the "doesn't care about anything anymore" line, i instantly imagine a dwarf, sitting alone on a swing set. Just slowly rocking back and forth, somberly staring at the ground, and stopping every once in a while to sigh.
It's mildly depressing.

...I am deathly afraid of water, vomit, bronze, and steam, because it was never alive in the first place it is completely and utterly immortal.

I am perhaps the most successful troll ever because even though I do not troll others I troll myself successfully... and there are no rules against trolling yourself.

They would fight for eternity, indestructible colossus Vs. indestructible demons... maybe the near infinite numbers of demons could be distracted from your fortress by dropping a colossus into the hole.

No, see, that's actually a Golden Cow, manifestation of the God of Stupid Engravers divine will. It can never be stopped, nor can its job preferences be canceled. It will make your fortress ugly without mercy.
