People on another forum interested. At least three more Overlords shall attempt to colonize lands in the name of Armok.

Would it be wrong to organize an operation to conquer other gaming forums in the name of Armok...?

My mind is abuzz with plans.

That would probably give the laid back and easygoing community of DF players the reputation of /b/tards.

I was just saying we could.

It's an option.

We could always invade in an extremely chill manner, and thus converting people by being so chill that they want to be like us. Once they're interested, "play dorf fortress or i will chill so hard that you go into a coma." When faced with such a threat, anyone would oblige. They will refer to us as the chillwave of the 12th bay.

Or, my personal favourite, regale the possibilities of crushing invaders beneath the tremendous girth of your gigantic golden phallus. I have yet to catch anyone with this method, but mark my words, it will happen! There's bound to be someone out there who will be thrilled by the notion of actual e-peen usage.

It may be worthwhile to have the babies fall into ring of fortifications or windows, to prevent anyone from catching and saving them.

I've tried to introduce a couple friends to it.  One of them really enjoyed playing Adventure Mode with me, and went home and downloaded the game, but never figured out how to play it himself.  Another one started a fort with my guidance one evening, and presumably hasn't touched it since.  I still have hope for that one, though.

I just ripped open a lions throat by biting it. Who's the lion now, bitch!

I've introduced two friends to DF, both of whom are quirky enough to keep trying to figure it out.  I pointed one towards the wiki, and gave
the other a quick course in not-killing-your-dwarves.  "Yes, you really need to make booze.  And dimple cups aren't edible.  This is how
you assign dwarves to a squad..."  He seems to be doing okay, except that he hasn't realized that just not mining a row of squares is
the equivalent of mining them and then building a wall there...
What caught their interest was me describing how my cats keep getting nibbled to death by skeletal geese.

May well be that I will be introducing new players soon-ish (through the Internets). First though, I would like to explain a bit what DF exactly is. If anyone here has any ideas on on how I could explain DF and it's community shortly, I would like to hear the suggestions.

First of course, I will simply give a link to Boatmurdered. Maybe mermaids as well. Other ideas are welcome.

It's the most complicated yet rewarding game ever concieved by man.

Once liquids are implemented properly, you could set up a mandatory test involving potential military dwarves swim through a sea of blood on their way through the testing.
