Don't get me wrong, I enjoy eyecandy just as much as the next 20-something, but I also deeply enjoy constructing worlds, telling epic tales, and citybuilding games. And I play MUDs, so Dwarf Fortress's visual style and user interface isn't really that odd to me.

Non-Teenager. I like a vast minority of rap. Or hip-hop. Or whatever you kids are calling your crazy music today. Get off my damn lawn.

Rap and DF mix well.

Fuck the hammerer,
coming straight from the undergound.
Young dyer got it bad, cuz I'm brown.
And not another colour so, guards think,
they have the authority to kill a majority.

Fuck that shit, cuz I ain't tha one
For a punk elffucker with a shield and a mace,
to be beaten on, and thrown'n in the caves.
we could go beard to beard in the middle of a, cage.

Fuckin with me, cuz i'm a lye maker
with a little bit of gold and galena
Searchin' my room, looking for the exports
Thinking every digger is selling those mandates.

You'd rather see, me in the caverns
than me an my dwarfs all sitting on some ☼Gold Thrones☼
Beat the hammerer out of shape
and when i'm finished, bring the grey font type
to indicate the areas i've damaged
still can't swallow, sweetbread or water

I don't know if they elves or what
search a digga down and grabbin his beard
on the other hand, without a mace they can't get none
but don't let it be a purple and a brown one
cuz they slam ya down to the magma
Migrant thresher showin out for the royal guard

Urist McCube will beserk,
at any elffucka in a guards uniform.
Just cuz I'm from the upper burrows, royal guard are afraid of me
A young digga in a martial trance
and when i'm finished, i'll wash off the blood bath
of guards, in there own well.
Yo Armok, I got something to say.

Fuck the hammerer.

I suggest you don't think too much what you build and where. When ever you need something, build it as close as possible to where you need it. that way your fortress will eventually become epic

I've come to the conclusion that all of us Dwarf Fortress playing teens are cool.  ;)
so what does that make me, resident DF playing nine year old?

Dude, now I'm not mean to anyone on internet forums, but just don't begin spouting out stuff like that. It may be true what you're saying, but it just doesn't look good and make you seem like some dumb know-it-all guy.
But let me applaud you! I don't think I'd be able to play, or even grasp, DF at the age of nine.

Jeez, playing dwarf fortress at nine? Impressive!

Quote from: Phantom
Unknown to most but the insane and the mystics, Tarran is actually Earth itself, as Earth is sentient like that planet in Avatar. Originally Earth used names such as Terra on the internet, but to protect it's identity it changed letters, now becoming the Tarran you know today.
Quote from: Ze Spy
Tarran has the "Tarran Bug", a bug which causes the affected character to repeatedly hit teammates while dual-wielding instead of whatever the hell he is shooting at.

DF can only be beaten by people who are at least as awesome as DF. And because awesome people are too busy writing music/acting/being dead/Chuck Norris-ing, they have not been able to play it.

Now what were we talking about?

Show him the mermaid thread. If he remains both bored and unamused, and without any hint of being horrified, he is probably a Terminator robot sent back in time to kill you. If this is the case, he must be disposed of immediately, making sure to keep traces of his machinery from surviving and tainting the timeline. Alternatively, he may just be old and boring. In which case, tell him to go back to playing his solitaire.

Mermaid thread...?

 Don't say that stuff. Know-it-alls are frightening. It's cool to be smart and stuff, but don't show off. The last know-it-all I knew went away for a very, very long time (He moved away, praise Armok :P).
