Is it just me....
« on: July 18, 2010, 12:59:17 pm »
Or does it seem to anyone else like the forumites here are like a cult?

Our cult set-up: Toady One the Great is our God, Dwarf Fortress is his Holy Book, and... I guess ThreeToe is the High Priest. Or something.

Seriously though. If it weren't for the fact that I am a part of it, I'd be a little freaked out by the slightly fanatical following DF has.

I'm currently making a nice room for my legendary clerk. I always treat my legendaries with the greatest respect, giving them the best rooms and so on. Although the walls are mostly engraved with pictures of my miner starving to death after he fell down a well, so it's not too cheerful.

It's called a fandom. It's nerdy, it's weird, it's a little bit obsessive and it's super-fun.

In order to improve the universe's frame rate, we must all throw rocks into volcanoes and then do absolutely nothing, worldwide, for a week, to take pressure off pathfinding.

Not until they (gu'vnent) stop taxing Toady_One is it a religion. Until then, just donate money.

It's part cult, part cooperative mob, part circle-jerk. There's the guys who really really love the game, there's those that want to help in making it even better, and there's the lucky few who get off on constantly worshipping Toady and bashing anyone who disagrees with his design decisions.

Not, mind you, that Toady wasn't a god amongst men; it's just that I rather doubt he values blind faith more than constructive criticism.

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!

This is an engraving by Urist Threetoe. All craftdwarfship is of the highest quality.
The engraving shows the creation of the Outpost Bay12forums by Urist Toady. Urist Toady is surrounded by dwarves. The engraving shows an Elephant in a fetal position. It menaces with adamantine spikes. The Engraving shows a dwarf fishing. The dwarf is surrounded by Carp. The Carp is striking a menacing pose.

Heh and here's me thinking it was just a running joke.

I bet it freaks him out at least a little, I know it would me.

Has anyone bowed down before him or averted their eyes at those DF meetings?
