New guy reporting in.
« on: June 26, 2011, 07:36:46 pm »

Well I did a bit of rummaging around to see if there was an area for this... or a communal introduction thread. Instead I found a somewhat recent introduction thread which seemed to indicate that the practice was acceptable so I'm making my own.

I've been playing Dwarf Fortress, though more specifically a 'Suika Fortress' which is mostly a graphic set for Touhou nerds. Though it does change the names of several items and animals. I got sidetracked there; I've been playing it for about a day and a half... I've had several worlds and as I progressively figured out what I was doing I've been deleting them and making new ones until now. Where I've finally managed to lose my first fortress. If you're curious I lost because I was a stupid newb and didn't realize I needed to build a Well... and then when I did all the water in my selected region was frozen... o my suikas all decided to die of thirst. :D Anyway, this world will be sticking around as I feel I know what I'm doing enough to not need another pocket world clean slate to trial and error my way through.

Wait this is supposed to be an introduction. Hello there people... I'm... Vault and I'm from Canada... so hello and stuff. I did try Dwarf Fortress a couple weeks ago... but found it too overwhelming and deleted it. Yesterday I found the 'Suika Fortress' version and the only time I've spent away from it so far has been the hours I spent unconscious last night. >.<;

I knew that adding it to the wiki was a good idea! :D

Oh, and welcome and all that I guess.

Canada eh? Do you guys use syrup for currency?

But anyway you guys are the only two I know anything about, other than Ochita. But Ochita is not a Touhou fan. Ochita IS Touhou.

Hello, Vault! I am the Monstrous Wolf, the local furry-faced purveyor of pedantry! RAWR, as those more inclined to onomatopoeia would say.

I also scratch my furry lupine chin in puzzlement at this “Touhou”, for I do not know what it is.

No, we use maple leaves. The red ones are $100, the orange ones $50 the yellow $20 the green $10 and the dried up red ones are $5. We use lumps of ice for smaller denominations.

This is a PSA: Would all recent migrants please report to the culling- I mean, the orientation room on level 12. Thank you, have a nice day.

Watch out for bears.

And Giant Orms which just wiped out my second Fortress. That's what I get for ignoring military/weaponry.

Welcome to the forums. I'd tell you to have an introductory cookie, but I think Ochita ate them all. Again. <__<
