[Julius Clonkus]

I must be living in the wrong country since most of the awesome teachers are somewhere else, or so it seems.

You have two choices.
1. Introduce him to the madness that is Dwarf Fortress and the nice batshit insane nice people with their normal freaky normal discussions about elf-genocide and the 13th annual mermaid harvest. And have him see your participation in those discussions.
2. Don't tell him so he'll never, ever experience Fun.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

No, just kidding. Try to find something harmless to introduce him to the game. Or administer the Boatmurdered treatment. Hey, at least they weren't farming mermaids there, right?

dorf hammering Ariel.

I think there are already websites that feature that …

 

I mean smacking her with an adamantine hammer till her brain asplodes.

Kinky.

[Acanthus117]

How can killing mermaids be kinky?!

[Particleman]

Read it in a dirtier frame of mind.

GAH MY EYES ARE BURNING.

As someone who gave his teacher an USB stick thingy with DF on it, I can safely say it's a good idea to just say it's an open ended game which is far ahead of it's time, ideology-wise.

Mention the ASCII graphics don't needlessly suck away the budget so all money is used to make a good game, not a shiny game. (If you're confident he/she is fine with ASCII)

Boatmurdered is a good start, but it's even better if you mention nothing of it was scripted, everything in it came to be because of a combination of player willpower and random events.

Don't forget to mention that it's developed by a math teacher.

Nethack remember. It's only really a rung above Dwarf Fortress graphics wise.

Semirelated; I got my sociology teacher into LCS when I went to high school. Hehe.

Actually, I think its a rung below...

Sociology teacher? Haha, if LCS wouldn't be so ridiculously over-the-top, this would be all kinds of wrong.

Well, It's on an adjacent rung.

@jaybud4:  Why would it be akward?  It would rock to be able to talk about roguelikes with a math teacher.

It'd be awkward if they saw this thread.
I mean, look at it.
It went from trying to get a teacher to play DF to kinky mermaids.

But it's a perfect example of chaos theory. He'd be impressed.

[Acanthus117]

And the worst part is, I never meant it to be kinky.
