so normal beards spread their mycelium through dirt and soil, but plump helments can spread through stone.

Like they're digging.

Like dwarves.

Don't you know? Mycellium is the sperm, and a stone is an egg; that's how dwarves are born.

At least, in mythology I heard in elven cultures. Then again, I think that was supposed to be a racist remark. Carping elves.

That's what martinuzz just said.

Hey, I was just keeping an eye out for whatever they might be planning as updates happen. Like I said, it was a myth/racial slur.

Ah, so you're in their base spying on their dudes? How did you hide the beard? Did you SHAVE?
If yes, you're a dwarven hero, sacrificing your... reproductive organs for the greater good.
Oh, Armok, where is this thread going?!

To be locked.

Let us see how far we can get it.

Seriously though, I don't think toady would lock it as long as it doesn't spread. keep the "Plump Helmet" jokes in this thread and we should be fine.

on topic:
My Plump Helmet gonna get 'chu drunk,
Get 'chu drunk right off my plump
my plump my plump,
my lovely little plump!

Besides, dwarves have beards, not "plump helmets".

It's pretty hard to distinguish between those two, though...
Also, epic quote pyramid FTW!

Well, to respond to whoever last responded to me ::looks up at pyramid:: MC Dirty.

I was shipped by accident to some elves while I was sleeping in a bin after having a legendary meal, and I overheard some stuff. I could've just gone out and snapped their necks, if they didn't have some crazy-ass creature cages sitting on top of my bin. I had to wait until I was at their camp in order to slaughter them once the weight was lifted off the bin.

In short, shut up. I didn't betray anyone, I was accidentally sold.

makes me wonder how that donkey can carry all that without dying. Once I got three bears, an alligator, monkey, and a cage full of rats, plus all the usual butt load of cloth and wood. that donkey was super dwarvenly-tough.

(yes, they bring multiple donkeys, but how many donkeys have you seen carrying around a bear?)

You obviously missed the post where I expressed the theory that you're a dwarven hero. But you're obviously not. That's sad.
Let's drink until we forget the whole ordeal!

Edit: Oh, I just saw the part about the killing. You're a dwarven hero after all! Let's drink so we never forget this happy event!

Bring in the kegger! Whats that? All you've got is methanol? Huzzah!

How do you people live without mushroom-swiss burgers?!

I feel lonely.

hopefully in a later version of the game mushrooms will actually grow in rings like that, instead of acting as shrubs like they do now.

Or maybe Plump Helmets will start growing where you don't want them to. I mean: Plump helmets survive every season, they grow very quickly and plump helmets destroying floor engravings or even "un-smoothing" the floor could become a serious problem. You could harvest it, but that won't get rid of the mycelium. You would have to deconstruct any constructed floors in the immediate vicinity and maybe use some alchemistic substance to get rid of the mycelium.
Restricting that to plump helmets wouldn't be practical, because people will just stop planting them, but plump helmets should be the worst in this respect. Otherwise, they'll just be the perfect food they are right now.
There should be some way to protect the floor fom the shroomy menace, but I can't think of anything.

The obvious solution is to put in a metal chamber before the farm with an airlock. The farm would be soil tiles, surrounded by a good sturdy metal like bronze or iron.

Please, describe this wonder in detail.

By the way, the finer qualities of Emmental and Gruyére cheese are, most dwarvenly, aged in Alpine caves.

Mushroom swiss, easy enough to describe.  First, you take a burger, with swiss cheese.  Then, you remove the meat.  That's right.  Then, you replace said meat with a mushroom the size of the patty.  Congratulations, you've entered the world of Portabella.

Oh wow.. That drawing of a berserk engraver looks so .. REAL.

Also, decent little link, Armok

[Karnewarrior]

funny how this topic was so funny when we were talking about how mushrooms looked like reproductive organs, but now that we are talking about them having reproductive organs, It got all serious.

Aw.. my burger...
Would it be better if we had both the meat and the mushroom?

Freud was right.

Where did you get that?

Better? Yes.
Good? No.
