Actually, I consider dwarves to be a giant hybrid of Scottish/Irish/German/Russian.

Violent alcoholics that build awesome stuff and kill their own people.

I'm Scottish/Irish/German, and I have a taste for vodka :\ No wonder I like this game.

Now, off to dig secret tunnels underneath a human city, drop the residents onto cave traps one by one, and slowly enslave the entire population.

I did that once, Too make it difficult, it was a hermit challenge too.

I'm using dig deeper though, and the orc's besieged me in the first season.

If you want to compare yourself to a communist dictator, use Mao Zedong/Tse-Tsung/howeveryouspellit. Stalin killed about 2 million of his own people, Mao killed about 4 million. Mao was the communist leader of China after WWII.

Dwarf Fortress, the game where the amount of fun you're having can be tied to which infamous genocidal dictator you'd compare yourself to.

What's funny is, I was just thinking of starting a "Godwin's Law" thread earlier today...  Then I see this thread has gone and started itself...

The thing that separates DF players genociding their servants from real life leaders genociding their servants is that we have a legit reason for it. Our FPS.

[Rumrusher]

I see stalin as a noble than a DF player, since he wasn't designating walls every where more so asking for mandates and sending hammerers on those who didn't complete them.
now you should feel like [insert any god based idol here] Aka [Iagbih] now she/he/it/them cause so many to deaths all so that fort earth doesn't drop under 230,000^10^10^10 FPS if it does then it gets so laggy.

This was the reasoning behind the One Child Policy.

Edit: Actually, the sad thing is I have actually implemented something like that in game to manage my fort.

This was the reasoning behind the One Child Policy.

Oh God, sir, you win.

Magma would ruin it, due to its slow movement. Water is quick and just as deadly.

the above statements are partially true, entirely true and entirely false respectively, as well as alternately italicised for distinction.

Funny, hardly anyone ever mentions the Cambodia genocide (Or Armenian, Kosovo, hell, who knows about Darfur nowadays?). Upwards of 3 million Cambodians died but we will never know- Waged by the communist Khmer Rogue on everybody. The entire world stood by and watched because we, the US, pulled out from Vietnam and wanted nothing to do with southeast asia after that.

Oddly enough the Cambodian people were "saved" by Communist Vietnam invading Cambodia and ousting the Khmer Rouge. They hated each other.

I suppose you can joke about genocide on the internet, but having traveled to Duchau/Auschwitz and then S-21 Tuol Sleng/The Killing Fields is like a doublekick to the balls that lasts for a lifetime. I keep thinking that such visits should be mandatory education to fully understand what humans are capable of.

I posted this before: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v_GNsG0_jMM

Those are shots I took at the Killing Fields and Tuol Sleng's genocide museum, a complex where 20000+ prisoners passed through, of which only 7 survived.

I was in grade school when I visited the Concentration camps in Europe...

If you want to compare yourself to a communist dictator, use Mao Zedong/Tse-Tsung/howeveryouspellit. Stalin killed about 2 million of his own people, Mao killed about 4 million. Mao was the communist leader of China after WWII.

If you include starvation, which, lets face it, requires a 1 square room, bed, and door, Stalin could be said to have killed ~20 million. Evidenced by the fact the USSR's FPS boomed. 2.6 to 10 million in the Ukraine alone, which isn't famous for it's soap making.

I will admit my numbers may be wrong, all I can tell you definitively is that Mao's kill list is larger than Stalin's.
