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.

THERE IS NO GOD BUT TOADY AND FOOTKERCHIEF IS HIS PROPHET.

[ECrownofFire]

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

This quote I agree with.

[Kobold Troubadour]

I've tried to talk with the great Toad Deity...asked about his family, his surroundings, even told him that he looked like a mighty warrior indeed...

...There was no response

[Krash]

Yeah you guys are creepy alright

[Rafal99]

PRAISE THE TOAD!

[HonkyPunch]

I have no idea what you're talking about, now eat these pills.

Surely someday the universe will change to the point that Lord Toad can respond to us, his Faithful.

Because if not, I'm going back to worshiping Kurtulmak.

What about FSM? That's my backup.

[Shaostoul]

I admire that he does what he does. I respect him for putting up with so much uhm.. hate? idno...

I don't worship him. He's just some guy making a great game with a great community.

[ECrownofFire]

You do have to respect him for putting up with so much insanity.

[Mr Tk]

No it's not a cult, it's an addiction. I'm sure it's not Toady's fault that he made DF more addictive than crack.

Dwarf Fortress, "Losing is Fun", The Holy Game

Value: ∞☼

This is a Game. All programmership is of the highest quality. It is encircled with Fun, studded with Magma, and decorated with cat leather. This object menaces with spikes of HFS.
On it is an image of The One Toad and a game. This relates to the creation of "Dwarf Fortress" in 2003.

Dwarf fortress...

What is that bird thing supposed to be?

[dwarfguy2]

[Josephus]

What is that bird thing supposed to be?

That's a horned toad and a suspiciously small Velociraptor, actually.

And I'm pretty sure the horned toad is really a frog.
