That's the great thing about this forum. We can derail any discussion into any other topic.

It's not an embark so much as seven dwarves having a simultaneous strange mood and going off to build an artifact fortress that menaces with spikes of awesome and hanging rings of death.

My all time favorite:
All the fun of locking drunken, manic-depressive midgets in a box, but with none of the clean-up.

I haven't checked since I'm not doing bugs until after the release (well, I'm doing bugs, in the additive sense).

In the days when Sussman was a novice, Minsky once came to him as he sat hacking at the PDP-6.
“What are you doing?”, asked Minsky. “I am training a randomly wired neural net to play Tic-Tac-Toe” Sussman replied. “Why is the net wired randomly?”, asked Minsky. “I do not want it to have any preconceptions of how to play”, Sussman said.
Minsky then shut his eyes. “Why do you close your eyes?”, Sussman asked his teacher.
“So that the room will be empty.”
At that moment, Sussman was enlightened.

I saw this on someone's sig (not sure if I got it exactly right) "I play dwarf fortress. Sometimes, I wish I had a meth addiction instead."

"The end result of Dwarven Justice is a head split like a ripe melon."

With that quote, I managed to calculate that the end result of Dwarven Criminality is an intact body, doing what it needs to keep the fort alive.

If keeping my dwarves alive is wrong...I'll get back to you on if I want to be right or not later.

If you accidentally lock the elves in the depot and wait until they're insane to capture them in cages and then lock the next group of elves in the depot and unleash the insane elves from their cages, that's still somehow your fault.

While flooding by mining is done slowly, tediously and by accident, flooding by dwarven engineering is done with great speed, endless vigor and also by accident.

You want a dwarf? There's your friggin' dwarf. You want some better graphics? Screw you. Dwarves can do lots of stuff. Like digging. Can you dig? Hell no. Play Dwarf Fortress.

WELCOME TO FUCKING BOATMURDERED! Hope you like miasma!
