Why are sigs limited to 500 characters?

[Wheeljack]

The answer to your signature problem is magma.

I thought about sigging this as well for a brief moment, but then I realized that the whole problem is that I can't.

Hence magma, silly. Wipe your signature clean with burning awesome and begin anew.

Why are sigs limited to 500 characters?

The sheer awesomeness of some forum goers' signatures would break the site without an imposed limit.

What would anyone do without magma? How would the world function in such a horrifying reality?

What would anyone do without magma?

I... understand each word. But this particular string of words is incomprehensible. One could almost say unthinkable.

DF world has moon. Why there are no tides?

[Quartz_Mace]

I think there are. I was once walking on a beach as an adventurer and nearly died when a flood of water came over me, engulfing the beach. In hindsight it may have been a wave, but the water does appear to fluctuate.

As for tide specifically, the Moon is Armok's round shaving blade that he threw into the heavens as a sign that Beards are his will. He will allow it to influence the physical world in no such way as a tide.

Why did Armok have the shaving blade to discard?

[Kumquat]

It is the prototype of all serrated disks and made of adamantium.
(Because it is adamantium it is so lightweight that it does not cause tides.)

If the moon is a giant flat disc how come there are moon phases?

[UnicodingUnicorn]

It was a discarded prototype because inherent fluctuations in material shape and size caused it to be unusable as a razor.

Why can dwarves build wooden trap components?

Looks like Dwarven SCIENCE can't explain that.

Why can dwarves build wooden trap components?

They're good at finding many uses for wood in order to anger the elves. They don't make edged wooden trap components (axe blades and discs,) however, because it would reflect poorly on their craftsdwarfship if the edges dulled.

Why can't dwarfs make wooden mechanisms?

[UnicodingUnicorn]

How dare you sully the good name of mechanisms with that filthy material.

Why is it !!SCIENCE!! as opposed to !SCIENCE!?

[Bumber]

How dare you sully the good name of mechanisms with that filthy material.

Why is it !!SCIENCE!! as opposed to !SCIENCE!?

Actually it's ‼SCIENCE‼. ‼SCIENCE‼ involves burning things (or cages and vertical bars, I guess,) while !SCIENCE! probably involves emotional states. (!!SCIENCE!! probably doubles the emotions.)

Why do elves take issue with killing trees and mushroom trees but not crops, such as plump helmets? Furthermore, what is their stance on eating plump helmet men?

Why do elves take issue with killing trees and mushroom trees but not crops, such as plump helmets? Furthermore, what is their stance on eating plump helmet men?

They're OK with killing anything you can eat or drink. As for plump helmet men, they are all for eating them if possible.

Why can't you brew plump helmet men?

[Aslandus]

Dwarves haven't invented a still big enough to hold them...

Why doesn't booze flow like water?

[UnicodingUnicorn]

Have you any idea how wasteful that is? All that booze flowing through rivers into the sea to be saltied! I say, if this were a dwarven nation, you would be tried for heresy as a elf spy!

Why hasn't there been a united coalition against the dwarven menace?

[Aslandus]

Elves can't form a united coalition, and nobody would join them anyway

Why won't the goblins form a coalition to fight the dwarves?

[Quartz_Mace]

They've already formed a coalition against all non-Goblins. Dwarves are mutually included; no need to single them out specifically.

Why haven't we exterminated all Elves yet?

[UnicodingUnicorn]

If we exterminated all Elves, what do we exterminate?

Why do bows, crossbows and blowguns all fire at the same rate?
