i'd definitely take it, if just to tell everyone in either Hell or the World that I lived through a year of Dwarf Fortress.

Souls in Hell: You spent a year in a Dwarf Fort!?
You : Yea, so?
Souls in Hell: *bows* You shall now be our king of suffering and madness!

[Peewee]

I could make it... I have a panic room with plenty of food and drink, sealable from within.

OH WAIT, you said HUMAN diplomat. I would need water access...
Never mind, I couldn't make it.

Just because you can drink water doesn't mean your liver shrivelled up and died.

Of course not, but I'd still need water to dilute the booze, and thus allow it to serve a purpose in hydration.
According to forum lore, dwarven drinks are ~70-90% alcohol.
For comparison, the strongest human spirits are ~40% alcohol, and more typical brews range from 5-25%.

You haven't had yerself some good old corn likker!

Seriously. You can practically watch it evaporate out of your glass.

That's because it's practically 100% pure 200-proof corn alcohol.

Or:

Bay12Forums: You survived in a fort?!?
Me: Yeah
Bay12Forums: Not a real fort, you didn't die from magma

Best response: I didn't, but everything else did. During the first month.

How about a 55% beer? http://www.torontosun.com/news/canada/2010/07/22/14794821.html
Also, Portuguese firewater is traditionally 50-80%. It's quite nice. I think dwarves would like it.

I'd die of thirst within a few weeks, due to what I thought to be a freshwater pool being...obviously.

Dwarf urine?

[Shrugging Khan]

I'll leave THAT to your imagination.

No, seriously. My fort just died because it ran out of drinkables...the newly-arrived migrants kinda used up my booze supply faster than I thought they could, but I thought "hey, no problem, there's a pond just right over there". Turns out the pond wasn't suited for drinking.

Wells purify.

[Shrugging Khan]

I know. But I didn't have enough time to get a well built in time 

[mnjiman]

My most recent fortress is automotive. Their are dozens of traps, 3 squads of military. Their baracks are currently located at the entrance of the base.

There is 3 water falls, a stone guardian, a zoo, enough food and drink to last years, and happiness is really high for all of my dwarfs.

Ya i think i could manage leaving in my fortress for a year unpaused.

Did you mean automated, or did you build it out of a car?
