Voting for Races and interbreeding, because I want to know if it will be possible for a dwarf to have an Elf Fetish.

Heh... just wait till you hear my next Dorf Shorts...   shhhhh.....

Those pointy ears sure get Urist going, also, leather thongs.

Anyway, I want to clear something up: Is the SCIENZE topic about the sciences behind DF such as the algorithms, coding, and stuff, or about in game science, like chemistry, mechanisms, deadly drawbridges and related fun?

The only reason I chose racial relation over it is because of that doubt, and because I want to know how the races will eventualy have relationships that don't exclusively involve war.

Ah, I think that our definition of the sciences are of how the physical sciences, like geology, medicine, astronomy, biology, and meteorology are realized in Dwarf Fortress.


EXAMPLE:

"Toady, is it true that all adamantine comes from meteorites containing bacteria that have been struck by lightning, and what affect does it have on dwarven physiology, and might it cause disease?"


...only they will be real questions.

Changing vote nao. 

Edit: You said adamantium instead of adamantine, heretic.

Don't forget metallurgy, other material sciences and possibly a dose of chemistry.

The problem with giving combat specifics a short segment because it's been such an underdog is that it takes time away from what people vote for.   If indeed it doesn't win.

[Dakk]

Its not like we woundn't like to hear about some combat specifics, its just that it aways comes up along with mind bogging interesting stuff we just have to vote for.

Heh... just wait till you hear my next Dorf Shorts...   shhhhh.....

Elf Woman: "Why do you hate me so much?"

Dwarf Man: "Because your the most ugly stinken..."

Elf Woman: "I brought the Sunshine"

Dwarf Man: "Beautiful love of my life"

Baby: "Momma, why won't the other kids let me play with them?"

Scientist: "Because we have no idea how long your going to be a child for"

Baby: "Wow, Neonivek this is worse then usual. Why can't you write?"

Neonivek: "Give me a break, it is 12 in the morning"

Internet: "NO! We demand blood!"

Neonivek: "ACK!"

[smjjames]

LOL@you Neonivek.

Indeed, I'd have voted for it if I didn't want to hear everything else at the same time.

I bet if we had four seperate DF Talk's about each topic, and then overlapped them all, the resulting mp3 would be mistaken for a Mozart classic.

Honestly, I've found that 3 AM and more sleep deprived works far better for writing. It's either awesome or terrible that way, or possibly both until you collapse it by reading it in the morning.

Back on topic, I'd be happy with splitting in a smaller section in addition, as long as Toady doesn't mind. It'd add variety to the talks, and satisfy the poor forumites who keep getting shafted on combat specifics. You could always do another poll to see if everyone's alright with it.

Interbreeding!
