My fort of 12 ingame years died today to a kobold pulling the magic lever that I have labled, EMERGANCY HFS RELEASE VALVE!
It releases HFS onto the map, only to be used once I fully barricade my fort down.
The sad thing, the HFS walked right in my main gates because I had no reason to even be locked down.
If that wasn't bad enough, right after my mason dwarf finaly finished building the airlock system I devised to keep out unwanted lever pullers.
The kobold was also ironicaly the ONLY survivor of the massecre as I had no time to build the fortress preservation devices before hand.

In conclusion, DF is in no possible way lame.

You should all be ashamed of yourselves.  The obvious solution is to chain the baby up at the entrance as a kobold detector.

And that's why you should b-C-w around all your 'Fun the world' levers until you're ready to pull them!

Your friend doesn't want to play DF because she's met people who do, and she's afraid of becoming a smug asshole like them.

I'm not an asshole. I just have no concept of personal space.

DF players frequently come off as assholes; most people don't want to be assholes; thus, this is one possible explanation for why the dude's friend is reluctant.
I've not noticed this quality of DF players, I found the forums to be very kind to me despite my inexperience when I joined.
besides, people who own apple computers aren't all pompous assholes... wait a second, that isn't true.
HEY!

Not a troll, not some basement-dwelling neckbeard, but indeed a hateful, rude little person. On the internet.
I'm actually quite nice IRL, but you people have to pay the price for that.

Now stop being distracted by the rudeness, quit your accusations of trollery, and start arguing like real men!

Dwarf Fortress is lame.

But it's the kind of lame I'm willing to tolerate.

Isn't that just a fancy way of saying "That kobold just won the game"?

Personally, I like [DF] because after climbing the damned learning cliff, I'm too elitist to consider not liking it.

DF is lame because it is so awesome that it has overshadowed all other games I have tried to play in the last year or so since I started.

It is pretty sick that I have put more time into this game than probably 80% of the retail games I have bought.

DF is lame due to a buffer overflow in the awesomeness counter.

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.
