Nthing the cries of "caps! caps! caps!"

For all we know, she might discover something awesome that the rest of us hadn't yet found. Or, in true DF fashion, bork something up and send Anger Balls the Balls of Anger to a fiery demise.

[Nyxalinth]

Your daughter is awesome.  That is all.

[Sallen]

"Rapidbladder" made my day.

[scion-of-fenrir]

"Anger Balls the Balls of Anger" would be a good name for a rock band.

Ha Ha, TVTropes!

Thats pretty durn cool I hope to share videogames with my kids one day when I git some.

80 year old me: Back in my day we used controllers, and our computers had keyboards and screens.

My futer kids: Quit jokin around dad whats a key anyway like did you play "piano hero" or somthing.

[tommy521]

She's one smart kid, I have friends in late teens who don't understand this game. And they are gamers.

Gamer =/= appreciation for a good game.

In my mind, DF has the best graphics, imagination.

[ThatAussieGuy]

Probably best to keep away from the clown and circus euphemisms for the moment though - don't want to make them any more terrifying for the kid then they probably already are

[Poindexterity]

I'd like to third (or is it fourth?) the notion of you uploading screenshots of her fort.
I'll even throw in a "Pretty pretty PRETTY please?" if it needs to come to that, but let's hope it doesn't, eh?

nothing is cooler to me than seeing what new players do with their forts.
some of my best ideas come from these.

[Vehudur]

That's awful ballsy of her.

I know, that was bad.

Also...

NOO stop linking to TVtropes!  That website is so addictive it's evil!

Probably what the real world needs when the demons actually do rise and storm the upperworld is a whole lot of people utterly desensitised by everything from Wolfenstein and Doom to Buffy and True Blood.  There'll be ones that don't run when they should do, but any that survive the first encounter will know what to do with a chainsaw, will get that grenade just where it hurts in the maw of the vilest of beasts, will resist the incursions from below as easily as they resisted the regiments of invaders from space by shooting up at their bombing runs whilst occasionally hiding behind buildings.

Our youngsters will be the ones that prepare the landslides, the floods, and as a sideline divert Earth's own lifeblood to deal with the less troublesome enemies.

If I've got a vote for who gets the Spartan armour and the sniper rifles, I'm putting my friends' kids forward.  But they'd be as bad as gremlins with levers.  But maybe the OP's daughter...  Yeah, I'd trust a DF player to do that.  Although I'd probably check first to make sure my nicely-appointed room didn't have a mysterious hatch in the ceiling, first...

Speaking on behalf of the community, we're sorry.

[MaximumZero]

That's awesome. My daughter has taken an interest in DF, but alas, she is only three, and has not yet mastered the alphabet.

[Crazy Cow]

My brother can actually play DF, but he doesn't play it much. Keep us updated on this amazing fortress, eh?

I can and will sic my pet grue on you.

You could turn it into a learning experience for her while you're at it then.  Maybe?

"That's right sweetie:  If you don't like your betters, make them a fancy bedroom with a strange hatch in the ceiling and a large lever that says "Pull Me" on it"
