I just now realized.... the learning curve of DF is so hard, that there is a help screen.

Valuing life seems too close to an aesthetic rule for me, I think.
Only in Dwarf Fortress is the value of life placed as "aesthetic."

Isn't there a few?

This is kinda a warning sign to DF's recursiveness.

So THIS is how migrations start.

Toady should have a contest to create a new up to date help section in DF.

I was thinking more along the lines of this legendary champion, all clad in dented and dinged up steel plate, his blood-drenched axe slung over his back, a notch in the handle for every enemy that saw the swing of that blade as the last sight they ever saw, a battered shield strapped over his arm... and a fluffy, pink stuffed hippo hidden discretely in his breastplate.

Post seems to be from considerably later than 2006. Or maybe you were referring to the fact that the joke itself is really old?

There's really nothing wrong with responding to this thread. The joke might be a little old/unfunny, but this forum has saved threads with worse first posts.

I still think that the whole fortress should be flooded with magma the moment you try dividing by zero.
This could be a handy way of teaching preschool children mathematics.
