Does anyone here not play dwarf fortress?
« on: October 28, 2009, 04:55:21 pm »

I figure General Discussion is where people go to talk about anything, but I'd think that everyone here plays or has played DF.
Has anyone not? Or not played in a very long while?

Yeah, he's a banned spammer. Normally we'd delete this thread too, but people were having too much fun with it by the time we got here.

Haven't properly played since before the last release, not including opening it up mucking about for about 10 minutes then quiting.

I still hang around because I like these forums and they were the first forums I ever joined.

I'm not really going to play until I can get a new computer, I'm sick of it slowing down too much before I can even reach the economy.

It's been quite a while since I played, but that's just from time. I did that at the last "2D" release, too. Bay 12 has an unintentionally awesome forum.

Also what Stany said.

I sorta stopped playing after a disaster hit my megaproject. Plus, I also was really busy with a ton of other RL (Real-Life, not Roguelike) things.

DFTherapist is helping me figure out a way to recover (learning a bit more about everyone, keeping better track, more rapid ordering, etc.). I might risk it, and call in some assistance from a recovery team (IE- reclaim party).

If things work out, I might get back to a stable update, but it depends if my main character survives the reclaim.

Aside that, these forums have been pretty awesome. I feel more at home here than past forums I visited/past frequented. Plus, I got addicted to livestreams (watching and broadcasting). I've also seen some pretty awesome stuff from everyone else (DF related or not). Plus, these forums have rather intelligent and silly threads. A nice moderate balance. As long as it doesn't degrade into a L0Lf35t, and unnecessary bullcrap, I like it. It's fun.

I play DF, but I find that I spend more time on the forums talking about the game than actually playing it.

But yes, the Bay12 forums are awesome. ;D Especially after coming from a Runescape forum.

I haven't played DF in several months due to a continued mega-modding effort, which I'm slowing getting along with. I feel it's better for me to get everything down in the raws than just have it floating about, even if I'm going to have to revise the whole thing in a few months' time.

This.

Although yes, I do play it.  My poor play usually results in very dwarven occurances, though...

I've been playing lately.  Mostly with a combination of the IT and wonderment mods.

Wonderment is great.  I don't worry so much about FPS-killing features like underground rivers and whatnot, because coal is actually a viable source of fuel. And the clowns keep my military from getting too skilled; most die before they can reach elite/lord status, and even those that do have died.

Alternately: The Brick Testament. It's a really fun look at what the bible would look like if interpreted literally. With Legos.

Along the same lines; Toady should monitor the forum page view statistics for a few weeks after release, just to watch everybody start playing again and neglecting the forum.
