And so the volcano froze... What?
« on: August 02, 2010, 04:51:20 am »
So anyway... I had found a nice place. Running water that's unfrozen all year, a volcano, and a perfectly square valley that amused me too much to NOT use. I was capping off my volcano, because that's what I do, with large amounts of water. After draining the water away, the last level of water, instead of evaporating, all froze quite suddenly.
Spoiler (click to show/hide)
The picture's after I decided to put my metalworking down there anyway, and had a little magma spill, but all around it is ice, with, and this is important, running water not a little ways off (off-screen). I tried digging down through it, that's the blocks of ice down at the bottom. Claimed one of my miners actually, so I decided to leave it be after that.
Is the mountain in a different temperature biome? I chose temperate deliberately after losing a fortress to frozen water.
Or... Am I just that cool?

[EDIT]
All the ice melted. Apparently the volcano's in a cold biome and the valley's in a temperate one. On the plus side I could make my freezing trap drop the frozen invaders into magma afterwards. Hmm...

Oh no, not another pun thread.  I hate these things, my heart just freezes over and I have to award a sub-zero score.  There's no man that can win ter game.

Well, puns are good ice-breakers. They stop people from giving you the cold shoulder.

For, in order that men should resist injustice, something more is necessary than that they should think injustice unpleasant. They must think injustice absurd; above all, they must think it startling. They must retain the violence of a virgin astonishment. When the pessimist looks at any infamy, it is to him, after all, only a repetition of the infamy of existence. But the optimist sees injustice as something discordant and unexpected, and it stings him into action.

Apparently, the volcano now has absolute zero ice.

and all the demons in the outer dark look on amazed and recognize
that vengeance is the business of a dwarf

This thread can best be described as eruption of puns.
