And yet, I can't get any of my friends to actually try DF out.

Maybe we're just good at doing google searches.

What got me hooked was a friend playing who told me to read boatmurdered. The monarch butterfly jamming the door and elephants coming in and the following bloody and brutal battles. Just had to try it out. But I have to admit I would have given up had I not had a friend who knew the ins and outs of the game interface. The initial step is way too huge for most people to decide and go at it alone, not to mention that all the mistakes they do are likely fatal for their fortress. I would have given up altogether after first game. In fact I first gave up playing for years after my second fortress was ruined. Wiki has since changed
the situation.

I fail to see how that is a bad thing. I love the "die and learn" mentality in my games. I am not above spoiling the game by reading the wiki of course, I can learn of others' deaths as well as my own.

I first learned of this game...most likely on Civilization Fanatics forums.

I'm definitely interested in moving to one of the scandinavian countries, but I think I've been convinced of Finland by this thread.

This spike at 1st April somehow makes it funny... it was a real release, but it still feels lika a hoax with such a date ^^
