Cerealsly? It kind of depends on how open-minded a person is - If they want to spend time learning how to play Dwarf Fortress then they will be more inclined do to so, but if they just want to get into the action and start playing then Dwarf Fortress isn't the game for them.

Ho ho ho, I appreciate that you appreciate it. Sophistication is in short supply, you know.

Mister Grey9, I took the liberty of riding an elephant into the depths of Dwarf Fortress. The inhabitants are not civilized, wot? They insist upon spreading religion or, worse, entreating me to handle such worrisome things as the decapitation of their government! I'll keep myself clean of these fellows, thank you very much.

Your mother? Your girlfriend? You must realize the foolishness of this! The women you love will likely both be quite offended to hear of the cat leather trade. Being a man of culture, I find the luxuriousness of the material far outweighs whatever suffering was necessary to bring it to my lodgings. But these are not men of culture we speak of. In fact, they are not men at all! You will plan this battle out in advance, if you are foolish enough to try at all, yes?

If i were in such a surreal presence where you could read my face, but still we would remain unseen, I'd give a quite strongly expressed face of doubt and say that you may be quite a bit more youthful than your profile suggests, but that peice of information is currently irrrlavent.

Back to the topic at hand, i suggest that you try to muster more of your time towards someone else who may find the thought of 'playing a losing game' quite amusing. If your siblings and/or residence fit that criteria, suggest Dwarf Fortress to them. If not, try someone else.

Dears sir, you must have adequate planning! When my knife brought upon itself the duty of trimming my facial topiary, did it go about it without an idea of how the battle would be executed? No! It knew that the jungle that lies upon my upper lip was a ferocious, if quite civilized, beast, and it planned accordingly.

"Who in gods name lies on the internet at 1AM (Or 16 PM, as my profile suggests)?
(At least I think that's what you meant)

I was not making fun of you, and I realized that that was an i, however, when I regarded the spelling and grammar of your previous posts, I sort of just assumed that it was a 1. Also, I realize that my post (hilariously) makes absolutely no sense and that you were referring to your age. My bad.

I actually would disagree with you so, as i would see this as another sign of fair youth through your naivety if it weren't for you meddling kids the very fact that the insanely high amount of ruses which can easily be created on the internet devoids the fact i am saying anything at all. Would you believe that i am 13? Of course not, but that is what I percieve as truth.
But taking in account your post, I will make my exiting statements.
Now to take a little poke at logic:
"You are younger than your profile suggests."
Now i ask, is that a lie?
