The community is not decaying. Even if it is, this is still one of the highest quality forums on the Internet. At least we're all literate.

When we're sober XD I think the whole DF part of the DF forums kind of filters out the impatient and the dull.

Wait, our conservatives are not trolling but they're actually real-life conservatives? What are they doing on the internet? Shouldn't they be using telegraph or something?

Indeed. DF is too complicated and difficult for trolls. So is LCS, come to think of it. You know, I wonder if a potental troll has ever come here and tried to play Star Zoo? I would pay to see a video of that.

Well, the trolls do live as savages in caverns in a 14th century world, so they probably don't have computers.

Trolls, or at least most of them, are impatient and nearly illiterate in my experience. Imagine trying to play Dwarf Fortress with the attention span of a four year old child and only a passing knowlage of written english. It wouldn't work out.

I thought it was Nikov that was trolling around here.

I'm still about 80% certain of this.

I think it's more a matter of nobody here knowing **** about anything than deliberate trolling. But yea, this community is decaying.

Ever since VN closed, right?

In my experience, trolls are like normal people only assholes.

That pretty much sums them up, yeah.

About the empty content: It seems that G-Flex has come to a forum about a donationware ASCII game developed by a 32 year old man living in his house with his brother with a rabid fanbase and alot of inside jokes expecting serious discussion, and we have plenty of that, for sure.

However, the vast majority of us have come here to have a good time, otherwise we wouldn't post on this board.

Nikov seems perfectly fine to me, but I haven't been around for a while so I wouldn't know, but G-flex seems to be either trolling us or deliberately being an asshole.

Cool down, guys, we're all here to have fun.

No doubt Reasonableman was also one of your bastions of rationality too.

I thought he was older, I mean he had 7+ years of college and 6+ years of DF and other games, so if he started his math degree at 20, he's be at least 33.

Not that it really matters, at all, though I wonder if DF could even be possible with younger blood.

I'm 15, I discovered it when I was only 12.

If I don't count as your 'younger blood', I'd like to see someone that does. Perhaps people in fetal stagus playing DF? That would be interesting...

EDIT: And yes, I realize the obvious "I'm 12 and what is this?" joke.

Oh I'm sorry, I meant creating the game, not playing it.

Oh. Right.  :P

I don't think I could make any game, let alone one as complicated as DF.  :D

Obviously the key to creating a superior human, by which I mean dwarf, is to link a running game of Dwarf Fortress to the fragile and unfinished brain of a fetus. The resulting trauma enlightenment will lead to children who love booze and beards, obsessively shunning anyone who is tall, has pointy ears, or is an environmentalist.
