Ok Sonerohi, this is how we do it.

We have a poll, or better yet a series of polls, that would work as a super-psycho-personality test.

Things that would search for who was truely the most dwarfly. Then using these match up the most dwarfly with the least dwarfly of the dwarfly and then breed a group of average-rank dwarves, then cull out the lower class leaving only average and upper. Continue until you have all Five S top ranked dwarves.

This is the fastest way to do it, I know because I've done extensive testing in... *cough Sonic Adventure 2, Battle cough* I learned so much from that game.

Questions could be like, "What is more logical:

1) Create a machine to scan the surrounding area for irregularities to avoid,

2) Hold a gun to god's head until he removes the irregularities.

(I personally think tweak/raw-modding, is much more dwarven than reveal)

*God, I'm sorry about that, but It's the most accurate metaphor I could find*

3) Search the surrounding area for irregularities to GO DIRECTLY TO. There's a reason for the F in HFS.

WOOT. BOTTOMLESS PIT FOUND.

FUCK YEAH, MAGMA.

OH SHIT.


Hehe, the Earth is full of awesome places to embark. A cookie to anyone that knows what the first picture is of.

I don't remember exactly where it is, but isn't that a stripmine somewhere in Russia? I remember reading about that a long time ago. There's also somewhere in I think China that has a miniature topographical map of another region, that is at such a large scale that Google Earth picked up on it. Don't remember if it WAS China, but the military of whichever country it was had been using a built-up soil model of a different region for some nefarious purpose, and got angry at Google Earth for knowing about it.

Yep, the Mir diamond mine in Russia. Heres your cookie:

It's affecting me, too. I dreamed of breaching HFS last night. Only it was me doing it, and not watching dorfs.

Those *spoiler alert* _demons can really carp your dwarves up.

[Skelodwarf]

I don't get the sock comments, anyone care to explain?

I don't get the sock comments, anyone care to explain?

Everything and anything can be used as a weapon in adventure mode. This leads to:
throwing vomit hard enough to explode someones head
clubbing someone to death with a -cat leather thong-
use of random rocks as cheap missiles
using corpses to kill other creatures

among others. Go read some of the stuff in the adventure mode forum for more craziness.

[Skelodwarf]

Ah, I knew that, I was just wondering why a sock?

I prefer using vomit as my projectile of choice.

[Reasonableman]

I should upload my graph paper doodles. I have like twelve pages of random plans and isometric drawings and such. Bought a big notepad of the stuff for geometry several years ago, never used it for anything class related. Abused my friends with all my complex plots to no end. Used to greet them with "DWARF FORTRESS!!!" every time I saw them. Must stop talking like Rorschach.

EDIT: Because socks are the silliest possible missile. Oh, and dwarves tend to run out to grab them off of recently slain corpses in the middle of battles.

Guys, we need to start recruiting the right people is the key thing. Everyone knows that when the zombies start attacking, all the DF players will show up at Toadys and create our own mountainhome in his backyard, leading the human resistance force. When that day comes, do we want to have recruited elves and sissies into the ranks of the fortress builders? Or do we want the cynicals and the crazy, true dwarves at heart?

 

"The zombies are at the gates! Everyone grab your *cotton sock*! OH SHIT. CARP. PULL THE DAMN LEVER!!!!!!

Congratulations, you have struck Uranium! Praise the drillers!
Toady One, Great Leader, has altered the price of goods.
A diplomat from Greenpeace has arrived.

Thats what popped into my head when i read that.

Also, a real-life mountainhome would be bitching. Unfortunately, physics would get in our way.

In the words of the creator of "How I learned to stop worrying and love the zombie troll" ( an amazing story on these forums) "Fuck physics, we're dwarves!"

While we may be dwarves in spirit, physics still aplies to our human bodily shell.

[sonerohi]

Well then we can just go back in time before Newton made those deals with Satan.

"If I give you my eternal soul, will you make all this stuff real and apply to the human world?"

"Sure dude..."

[Strife26]

We should fortify my house for zombies. Half of it is surrounded by at least a four foot wall, and we can get sandbags everywhere.

[sonerohi]

But then who would protect Toady so he could stay in a meditative state during the apocalypse, letting nothing interrupt his coding?

[Musluk]

I know the end result already...



Toady One, Legendary Developer has gone Berserk!
Urist McMusluk, Engineer has bled to death.
