(spoilers) new name for the clown car
« on: April 10, 2010, 06:01:58 pm »
Last time I unleashed the clowns it was just through a small opening I'm hearing now there are whole z levels devoted to it. So Should we call it the circus?

I actualy saw that metaphore around quite a few times for the last version.

Meaning we need something bigger. Amusement park anyone?

It actually stands for Hidden Fun Stuff in the contex of DF, but I like your interpretation.

regardless, the slime shooter will be completed, come hell or high water, which are both entirely plausible setbacks at this point.

I saw it on the thread HFS is more eviler than ever. I know it means Hidden Fun Stuff, but a guy used it to mean Holy Fucking Shit instead. I think that fits better.

This has been brought up in numerous threads, and while I'm opposed to a nickname at all, if there's going to be one, can it be a) not forced and b) not about clowns/the circus/that sort of thing again? Please.

I also think we should stick to HFS. I mean, I went to look for the HFS and I really was like HOLY FUCKING SHIT when I saw the new underground and then what lies beyond the blue metal and how effecient it was in eradicating my squad of miners.

DF Players never truly leave.  They just abandon the fortress for a few years and then reclaim.

Another for making it HFS stand for Holy Fucking Shit instead of Hidden Fun Stuff?

Hidden Fun Stuff works because it is what it says on the tin.   Silly euphemisms like 'clown car' aren't useful because they're forced attempts at humor which inevitably draws more attention to the thing you're trying to conceal in the first place.   Likewise, there's more than one type of HFS.

I don't think "clown car" really justifies the horror that is some of the new HFS.
