In the campaign of Galactic Civ 2 you have to blow up a star with a couple of your own planets around it.  Usually in 4x games I play straight strategy, doing whatever makes sense from a gameplay perspective.  In DF I tend much more to do things because they make sense from a story perspective, and I think it's bleeding over.  Instead of letting my citizens get destroyed by a supernova, which was the straightforward gameplay thing to do (and admittedly rather dwarfy itself), I built a fleet of transports to evacuate them.  Since the level ends the next turn it really wasn't important, but I liked the idea of a massive evac operation.  And it's just the sort of thing I'd do in DF

I think I would remember if I had amnesia.
I'd like to remind everyone that half of the time I don't even know what I'm talking about. The other half of the time I only sort of know what I'm talking about.

My wife thinks Dwarf Fortress is hysterical. She loves the idea that I have to keep an eye on my dwarfs so they won't stop working and start drinking.
She actually encourages me to play more.

Because of Dwarf Fortress, I saw a plank of wood from the side, leaning against a wall, and thought "Did my miner drop his pick again?" (This actually happened to me, yestereday. <_< )

Because of Dwarf Fortress, I started carving engravings of myself into the walls of my apartment. My landlord became furious. Now, I carve engravings into the walls of my landlord becoming furious about me carving engravings into the walls.

I haven't read this post since page 20. I haven't been on since then. I now realize what I have missed...

To settle all debts, I think that LotR Elves are true elves. I mean, they are not that bad if Gimli, Master Axe Lord, can handle them. I think that somewhere in the bloodlines of LotR Elves and DF Elves, there was a split and then we had Cacame and the Hippies. Cause Elrond's people had buildings made of wood and had metalsmiths. I believe that Cacame is the only surviving Elf that is worthy of remembrance. Then there was Gladriels elves which are the predecessors to the Hippies.

You do not understand the ways of Toady One. He is not a business, he's just a guy trying to make a fun game. He's invited people to come along and experience the journey with him (and help him test it out as he goes along). At the end of the day, I don't think his main goal is to sell Dwarf Fortress, its just to create the best game possible.

Hmm, you seem to forget one fact about DF Elves.....

"-Just matter of ethics, Gimli. *burp*"

Which is why I say that they are different bloodlines.

Because of DF i consider any other fantasy dwarf race gay and uncool(except for LotR dwarwes, ultimate HFS motherfuckers), i also make random magma remarks that are somewhat unsettling, even for me.
I have also sworn to find myslef a war hammer, failing that a war axe :)

...I'm slowly unlearning every bit of grammar/subject-object/verb/adjective agreement that I learned in college.

I'm also shrinking. ****.

I've learned a whole lot more about biology, that's for sure. Not to mention history, medicine, chemistry, metallurgy, and atleast the basics of programming and computers.
