Hypothetically speaking if dwarves had access to the internet, how much more FUN would Dwarf Fortress become???

Imagine the Error Reports

They would complain at the lack of magma, then build a new internet. Built of magma.

[Gatleos]

Dwarfs will have access to the internet in version .99.99, when even Toady cannot push the game further. They will then discover the Bay12 Games website, creating an infinitely recursive chain of realities that will eventually reach critical mass and coalesce into DF 1.0, emerging from their web-based cocoon like some kind of meme-encrusted chrysalis.

[UltraValican]

Yessss, then the computers would be !!Computers!!

Give Dwarves access to the Internet, they'll develop Human Planet, a simulation of us!.

What if they have already done so?

[tolkafox]

You are wrong, we only think we're playing DF.

In reality, DF is playing us.

"What if we gave the humans the internet? I don't know, lets code it in and find out. Hey look, they would create a game about us! Hahaha, we look so silly!"

Wait, if I realize that this reality is just a computer simulation, will I start to see everything in descending green ASCII characters?

Well if this indeed were true.. then why haven't I already been thrown ino magma/lava yet?

With a pick, I mine my way to glory.

13:07
Last block. Why is the wall warm?

13:08
MAGMA! ARGH!
7 dwarves liked this.

[UltraValican]

So if the dwarves are playin us in some sort of human fortress game, then that would mean that we could have reality warped by modding, so when we mod dwarves they mod us and the cycle continues....

Our world has already stabilized, had all the bugs worked out, and advanced technologically. We've forgotten about all the wonky physics and fantasy elements, mostly due to a psychic Weirdness Censor caused by repeated bugfixes and a few government coverups. Not only is this reality a simulation, so is the reality on which ours is based. With each iteration there is a certain amount of error in the accuracy of the simulation, causing the resultant world to develop slightly differently. As the chain of recursive realities extends to infinity, every possible universe is represented somewhere down the line. The only event common to every iteration of the universe is the existence of the Great Toady One, a being who, at some place and some time in the universe, is destined to create the simulation which will proliferate the cycle and begin the next iteration.

I call this the Dwarven Multiverse Theory.

Alright.. let me rephrase that then..

Then why haven't the Hammerer visited me yet?

[tolkafox]

He's still looking for his hammer.

For the first one, they pulled the wrong lever dropping the hammerman's hammer into magma. No one has told him yet.
