[Braddles!?]

just by looking at the current version, 0.28

you can tell dis is gonna get real.

fo sho,

im talking, carps just attacked yo fortress real.


but, srsly, when 1.0 rolls around, i suspect pure win will be involved. (in comparison to 0.28, which is already made of win, therefore, 1.0  is going to be made of win, which was made with win, and be finely engraved.)

I understand you haven't been round here much, but we've had several dozen of these topics and now we have ones presided over by Toady. We don't need this one.

The thread just needs a page or two more of people discussing how, "In 2046 when 1.0 will be released Toady One will be a cyborg and Dwarf Fortress will be integrated into reality hurr hurr" before we can throw it into the pile with the rest of the 1.0 threads.

Wouldn't the completion of DF 1.0 spawn it's own subreality, kind of like the Matrix, only with homicidal Elves?

[Jackrabbit]

Ah, started already.

If aimed at dwarfs should it be 'Nanocidal'?  'Pumicidal'?

(Your choice there of badly translated Greek/Latin prefix.

Good question, what would the scientific name for Dwarves be anyway?

Well, "Pan Troglodytes" is the Chimpanzee, the latter part referencing the enclosed nest-building activities, I think (see also Troglodytes Troglodytes, the wren, which some say is to do with their cave-like nesting tendency, others that it's their tendency to disappear into enclosed spaces like gaps in dry-stone walls), and depending on your thoughts about the roots of the currently extant homonid family branches in DF's world, you could consider them to be part of the Pan genus (but then I like Jack Cohen's "Pan Narans"/Storytelling Ape name for humans, over Homo Sapien).  And thus I'd consider:

• Mining:  Pan Minutor
• Digging: Pan Fossura

(I had originally gone for an attempt at Greek, with Exoruxes / Metalludes / Uponomeudes / Chomidus, but then realised Latin was more appropriate.)

Though Nano Sapiens would work if we want a separate genus.

Elves => Dendrozo Silvohabitus <Sapiens or whatever>?

(There must be an actual Hellenic speaker Latin Scholar on this forum, who can correct my misconceptions/misrememberings.)

[Armok]

Dwarves are more than enough humanlike to be ing "Homo", my guess would be Homo Geogenesis. Elves might be Home Faesis.

[Aldaris]

Homo Faesis.

How deliberate is it that that sounds like feaces?

[Armok]

Pure coincidence! It must be a sign from the gods that this is the correct name!

Are you implying the proud children of the earth known as the Dwarven Race descended from apes!?

Such insults! >:|

Homunculus.

Homo with -culus as a diminutive. (Cf. particulus, from which the English particle, is pars with -culus: a tiny part)

[kiffer.geo]

nano sapiens madidiens gets my vote...
The wise drunk dwarf...

Nano means dwarf.
Madidus means drunk.
Would madidens be the correct conjugation of madidus?

edit :  hum... Looks like it's just madidus... Which sounds better?
Nano Madidus?
