Is being wilfully perverse a fulfilling passtime?

Barbarion's official video for "My Rock" cracks me up. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cLHXYLHMhKI
The vocalist has one of the best beards you will see.

btw (answering the social questions on this page), toady did do a live interview to a college campus... can't find it right now.
If you want to see Toady's speech, you can see the recorded stream here: http://www.twitch.tv/ccp/b/396300023. Skip to 5:21:30.

Thanks for that, I hadn't heard the one with singing, it brings it to a whole new level.

Anything from the Conan the Barbarian soundtrack because we're all supernerds. Specifically...

Maybe after a NW_Kohaku wall o' text. It helps if one side is clearly wrong, but this time-scale discussion is based on a persons opinion of how they imagine an unimplemented change would play so I guess it's even less likely that people will change their minds.

If you slowed down time (or rather lengthened a year as I prefer to describe it) you could put in proper day/night cycles, you could give dwarves social lives and communal rituals, you could do lots of things to fill in the hypothetical 72 hours that aren't really feasible for DF as it is now. From memory, this has been thrashed out in a few different threads and I don't recall many people changing their minds from their preconceived preference, whether it be the ones agitating for a slowdown or the ones championing the status quo.

Here's how to play: Posit an untenable argument and then defend it against prevailing sentiment for as long as you can.

DF Suggestions / Re: Plot Armour and other uses of Narritivium.
« on: April 13, 2013, 11:23:52 am »
I'm not so sure about plot armour, though I like any fate mechanic or prophecy angle. I made a suggestion a while ago that is along the same lines and have a few examples of how it could work if you're interested. http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=111667.msg3380562#msg3380562
