Stranger: what's that ?
You: It's an ASCII game
You: Build a fortress
You: With Dwarves
Stranger: the only two games i play is

You: Tibia?
Stranger: tell me. where are you from
You: I am from Australia
Stranger: Ye, a game for addicted to PC kids
Stranger: so i guess your 1st language is English.
You: Tibia is a bone
Stranger: sorry if i make some big mistakes. it's my 3rd language
You: No problem
You: Also: An MMORPG
You: Dwarf Fortress isn't an MMORPG
You: It is entirely single player
Stranger: ye, i see.
Stranger: but, i don't like RPG games.
You: Well, Dwarf Fortress isn't an RPG either
You: It is a RTS
You: Real Time Strategy
Stranger: i know what you mean, but the best games are FPP
Stranger: Call of Duty 1, 2, 4
You: First Person Poute?
You: Pouter*
Stranger: First
Stranger: Person perspective
You: Ah
You: First Person Shooter also
You: It seems
Stranger: have u ever played
Stranger: CoD?
You: Yes
You: I have played CoD4
Stranger: what do u think?
You: An enjoyable game, albiet slightly boring after a while
Stranger: oh, CoD1 is much better than CoD4
Stranger: CoD4 - modern war
Stranger: don't like it at all
You: Oh
Stranger: CoD1 - is about the 2WW
You: WW2*
You: Yes
Stranger: the best game ever. trust me
Stranger: man/woman
Stranger:

You: Also: I dispute CoD1 as the best game ever
You: I present the challenger: Dwarf Fortress
Stranger: haha
Stranger: I should try then
You: Well, it really depends
You: Do you like RTS's?
You: Real Time Strategy
You: Top down, build stuff.
Stranger: is it something kinda
Stranger: age of empires?
You: Dwarf Fortress is kind of an RTS, but nothing like age of empires
Stranger: or Settlers?
You: Your troops/dwarves cannot be controlled directly
You: You must say 'build that' and a dwarf will build it. If he feels like it, and isn't hungry or something
Stranger: lol.
Stranger: THE SIMS
Stranger:
You: Also: No building dwarves. They must be birthed.
You: And some migrate to your fortress
You: Ok, so imagine a cross between The Sims, Age of Empires and Majesty
You: Except way better
You: Also add in ASCII graphics
Stranger: Lol
Stranger: you are a cyber freak
Stranger:
You: Who me?
Stranger: just kidding
You: Also, as a side note. If you decide to play it, keep in mind that it is very difficult to learn how to play.
You: But there are a number of good tutorials availabe. Google Dwarf Fortress and find a good link.
You: The forums may also help
You: So, go forth!
You: Play Dwarf Fortress!
You: I shall now disconnect and leave you to enjoy.
