Wow, this thread was derailed in the original post.  Impressive.

LAst I heard, the conventional wisdom was that figures are a non-renewable resource once world generation ends.

Americans ARE elves.  Hence why they eat everything and get mad at anyone using natural resources if it isn't them.

Because I picture humans as bass-ackwards and filthy, they must be British.

Dwarves are obviously Russian.

And key figures don't get replaced?  What a bummer.  I mean, what if I don't like the mayor of a town and kill him, but don't necessarily want to destroy the entire town?  Hopefully this is rectified as the game progresses.

Americas the country with the biggest ecological footprint.  They are surely not elves.  If anything, they are dark dwarves, only not short.

I think Americans are worse.

Yes, this is true.
And dwarves are Scottish, I thought.

From my experience figures do not get replaced.

OBJECTION! That is French!

Look! They even eat FILTHY things!

[Judas Maccabeus]

I thought backwards and filthy was also Americans? 

[Christes]

How many forum guidelines has this thread broken already?

[LegoLord]

Well, seeing as how I'm American, I just dissed myself.  So what I said probably didn't.

[Judas Maccabeus]

Also from the United States myself.  A bit Europhilic, but still American.

Dwarves in D&D are stereotypically scottish.  I've yet to see a DF dwarf say och or aye or laddie, though, thank goodness (for originality).

Scots pretty much fail though--when you look at wars they've had bad luck.  It's why DF dwarves are Russian.  Look how often Russia has been sieged!  Not to mention the quasi-communism that goes on in these forts.

I'm an American and I love the values and principals the country was founded on, but rampant corruption, greed, bigotry, and ignorance are our downfall. Very unfortunate really. I fear for the future.

[Christes]

rampant corruption, greed, bigotry, and ignorance

You seem to be describing the condition of humans in general.

[LegoLord]

Come here to America.  Humans in general will seem like nice people afterward.

[ein]

Yeah, from what I've seen, everybody is like that, it's just that Americans are worse because they have more freedoms.

[Judas Maccabeus]

Americans are just more open about it.  We don't tend to do subtlety or moderation very well.  That goes for both good and bad things.

I prefer to see my dwarves in an Irish manner. We're happy little boozers (oddly enough, stereotypically accurate.), we yoik and sing, and we fight and we dance til' the morning. (Sorry, I've been listening to a bit of Korpiklanni lately. BTW, awesome band.) Inventive, and just plain nuts.

Proof of concept, and a little easter egg as to why I like the name Bloodfist (IE- Megaproject). It's also sorta in honor of my great ancestor who won a decent chunk of land in a race. By technicality, the first person to touch the land wins it. My great-ancestor was losing the boat race, to reach the land.

Now, I must repeat. The first one to TOUCH the land, wins it. He was losing. You can guess what happened next.

He chopped off his own carping hand, and threw it over to the land... AND WON!!

...Yeah. I think I'm a descendant of dwarves. There's even a coat of arms that chronicles it with a similar tribute.

...My entire family (including myself) is just plain nuts. I love it.
