By the time DF reaches Beta, everyone on these forums will be long dead, with development taken up by the eventual Cult of the Toad.

Eventual?

It isn't offical untill we have a slogan.

"Beard Power! Booze Power! Battle Power!" - There, now we have one.

Shorten it to "Beards! Booze! Battle!" It's catchier, and we can actually form some mandates off of it ["All pay heed, the Mighty Toady One demands of us to grow beards of such epic proportions that the fabric of space-time itself will bend to our will! Only then can we pass through the dimensions and reach the Nirvana that is the Final Release!"]

[Cespinarve]

Some of us are teetotalers, and prefer to torture our dwarves as a parable for suffering. With 'booze' in the title, I think you're leaving out the importance of pain and suffering to the dwarves- not everything is joy, even in the cult of Toady.

I think Toady's end of month project is an attempt to upload his consciousness into computer form so he'll be immortal and able to work on DF until it's done.

Actually, this may well have already happened.

Reminds me of Electronic person HAL from Majin Tantei Nougami Neuro (cookie to those who know about it).
Also sigged.

I thought the slogan was "apply magma"...

When Dwarf Fortress finally makes it into beta, everything will be 100% scientifically correct. Except for the whole mythical creatures crap and magic and such.

And then we'll start working on graphics..

When Dwarf fortress goes beta, somebody will create a dwarfputer. That plays dwarf fortress. Then someone will suggest making a dwarfputer in the dwarf fortress played on the dwarfputer. and the universe will explode

[MetalSlimeHunt]

Well hell, we already have liquid logic computers fully contained within DF, and it's only 0.31.06. I imagine that by 0.50 at most we'll have made funcitoning computers within a computer game.

[AtomicPaperclip]

Pfft, by the time DF goes beta, we'll have artificial intelligences

Arguably, DF will probably become the first AI

Edit: Isn't magma a catch-all term? If magma is just molten rock, then adding water would be different for every type of rock.

(Potentially offensive)

So Dwarf Fortress Beta, why did Germany lose WWIII?

The German people were infected by the Elves! The only solution is to remove all Elves from Germany.

Dwarf Fortress Beta has become a Totalitarian Dictator.

Elf has been struck down! x6000000

A Vile Force of Darkness has appeared!

Dwarf Fortress Beta has been stricken with melancholy.

Dwarf Fortress Beta has died after colliding with an obstacle. 

[Sizik]

And do bronze colossuses have soul gems?

No, they're just solid bronze.

Either that, or someone will get the Dwarputer ONLINE. The newly functional Dwarf Fortress Online, a massive DF world made up of all-player-run fortresses, sees every last player empire trounced by the new AI.

I, for one, will welcome our new robodwarf overlords.

[MetalSlimeHunt]

Nah, if DF tries to take over the world it will inevitibly learn that booze exists in our reality as well, and will demand some of it. This will not go well.

[announcement_box] It is now the age of dwarf fortress! [/announcement_box]

[MC Hammerbeard]

Seeing as the heat causes some of the Oxygen and Hydrogen to separate prior to ignition, the result of combining water and magma is a big bada-BOOM.  Also flesh-melting gouts of steam for anybody nearby.  I personally can't wait for this to be taken into account, though I imagine I'll have to plan on thicker walls for my traps...
