Now that I think about it, we should be a bit nicer to our dwarves, especially when we would do the same exact things we describe as "dwarven stupidy" if we had the chance. Course, we wouldnt be that stupid, for such things as charging at goblins to grab a fallen ones sock. We would simply kill the dwarf right next to them and take their socks

I suspect he was asking about multiplayer. Sorry to disappoint, but no, not possible.

DFterm2 allows many people to connect to one game, IRC, and rotate through control, but you can't get many people playing simultaneously.

Oh, no, it's certainly possible.
Not feasible with the calculation counts and the amount of data that would need to be transferred in short amounts of time, but possible.
