By the time I finish lawschool (3 years from now) I expect DF to be close to halfway done, with the speed things are going now.

Don't be so sure.  I thought the same thing as a 1L, and I'm not sure we're actually any closer to 1.0 now than we were then.  I mean, there's been a ton of progress, but I imagine the finish line is moving faster than the runner.

P.S.  Where you at?  I'll graduate from U Illinois this year.

Me? Not American :P .

I'll keep me nationality a mystery, because nobody ever guessed it right :D
And congratz anyway, still 3 years of lawschool for me, I'm afraid, but I love it. I'll give you a hint, me country's constitution is absolutely huge because it likes to treat every matter separetely and objectively.

No worries. Toady probably won't die anytime soon. The man fought off H1N1, for Armok's sake.

However, I imagine that it will be a long time until 1.0 shows up. I imagine that I will be considered strange among the Marines for playing DF.

And, for the record, I bet you are Indonesian, Dakk. For great justice.

I'm currently making a nice room for my legendary clerk. I always treat my legendaries with the greatest respect, giving them the best rooms and so on. Although the walls are mostly engraved with pictures of my miner starving to death after he fell down a well, so it's not too cheerful.

Pffft. It's close enough, all the parts are there anyway. Wait, didn't you once confess it anyway? I thought you did, in one of those DF meetup threads.

I'm pretty sure that Toady has actually hidden his mind in the code, and that his physical being is purely in hologram form at this point.

Maybe the code is Toady - The regular updates and so on are just him running a world gen that will encompass everything ever, and we are merely given the bits of the program he is finished with!

I bet Dakk is german and for that matter a pirate too.

I think Df will never be done. Its the Planepacket of Computergames so toady will add stuff even after version 1, version 1 with magics and version 1 with magics and quantumphysics.  :P Maybe toady is the Buddha of computers and storytelling - then we get a century's of continuous DF programming.

But for a less serious note: Df will be done on the same date as Unicorn meat is freely available in germany.

Actually it raises a good question, if, Armok forbid, soemthing DID happen to Toady, who would take over his legacy? Is there anyone he has who the knowledge would be passed on to to finish his great work?

Well, assuming unnatural death, ThreeToe would probably take over.

I be nein deutsche, Dummkopf.

But yea, me thinks DF will be developed even after 1.0 is here, to the point it'll actualy develop itself :P
