Evil Feline Enigma....Solved
« on: August 26, 2009, 12:36:38 pm »

I've done it, I have figured out why it is that cats *purposely* and *maliciously* attempt to overpopulate and kill fortresses with their advanced Denial of Service attacks on the dwarves.

The truth is....they are in league with the fire imps and their demonic overlords!

While tapping into a magma pipe for my forges the imps went beserk and injured many of my meatshields wrestlers who were protecting my miners.  The attacks were viscious and almost all dwarves involved were permenently put out of action due to CNS injuries.

After the channel was completed, I had to seal up the oppening I dug through in order to channel.  In the process 2 cats and a mule were sealed away inside the vault.  The second the hole was sealed the attacks simply....stopped, the imps gave up and went back into the magma, ignoring the cats, but burning the mule to a crisp.

Obviously the cats are in fact servants to the fire imps, the technical arm of the UCAG (United Coalition Against Dwarves).  I have reason to believe that the conspiracy may extent all the way to the glowing pits and possibly even the Dwarven nobles themselves!  The nobles are the ones who convinced the dwarves to bring along the feline double-agents in the first place.  Sure they might seem like they are harmlessly screwing around with each other, but in fact they are h4x0r5, 0R m4y83 3V3n "5criPt-KiTti35" m4KiN9 0r94ni23d 4tt4CX 0n T3h DW4rv35 5imul4T3d r34LiTY, 8ut TH@ i5 4 c0N5pIr4CY PH0r 4N0TH3R TIm3 (hackers, or maybe even "script-kitties" making organized attacks on the dwarves simulated reality, but that is a conspiracy for another time)

I must admit, you write l33t more legibly than most. I could almost read that if I crossed my eyes... it's like one of those 3d pictures you're supposed to focus out behind.

yeah, his l33t is easy to read because he's not making many substitutions and those that he does make are always the same... '5' for every 's', '3' for every 'e', 4 for every 'a'.

You need to mix it up more...

Also I think you'll find that it's the Fire Imps that are in the service of the Cats! The Cats want you to dig deeper and deeper... They control the King and every so often they show you want might happen to you if you do not obey... they put dead vermin in your bed... a clear sign of what is to come for those dwarfs that do no co-operate.

I remember how all this l337 stuff started. I knew a lot of the l337 speakers in highschool so I'm fluent in the heaviest of l337.

Anywho, I never bring cats. I bring 8 dogs and 8 war dogs, let them vermin pile up until I obtain my first kitty through immigration. Then immediately subdue all new cats into cages so I only have 1 for rat killing.

I agree with Urist. Steampunk is like Darth Vader winning Holland's Next Top Model. It would be awesome but not something I'd like in this game.
Unfortunately dying involves the amputation of the entire body from the dwarf.

Guys relax, I googled some internet translator so that the l33t was legible and standardized

EDIT: back on topic, why was my cat safe from the imps, one second they are igniting all my dwarves and the second I seal the door they go passive, despite the cats (they did go ape on the mule though).

Im telling you cats are not pets, they are hackers fighting a technological war against the dwarves

They control the King? That explains all the freakin' Crystal Glass mandates, when I'm 200 miles from the nearest tile of sand...

Blah...

It wasn't funny when the cats were working for the elves, or the kobolds, and it's not funny now...

I'm curious what the barely conscious ai wrote about.
Well that went better than expected.  He went nuts and punched a rabbit to death, then the dogs and the whole dining hall ripped him to shreds.

"Captain, I'm picking up a 'l33t speak' transmission in quadrent delta foxtrot nine."

"What does it say?"

"I'm not fluent but I believe roughly it means "ELVES,CATS,MAGMA,MAGMA,CATS,KOBOLDS!"

"Wow..really? I mean hasn't that joke been done a thousand times?"
