I'm interested in this game.

<.< Silly question, what do I do if I prefer ASCII tiles over graphics? Do I just not turn on graphics mode or what?

Did someone say dwarven rave parties?

<.< I thought for sure they suffered a severe negative thought, but the wiki is strangely silent.

Artifacts are considered destroyed when built into buildings
Buildings made of non-magma-safe materials will occasionally melt if there is magma anywhere on the map

For every 1000 urists of value imported, I give them 1200 urists of export value.
So... 20%?

Any unarmored enemy can be taken down by 3 melee fighters working in tandem. (Try pitting an elephant against 3 rabbits in the testing arena to see what I mean.)

The flying thing might give it a chance, but unless it can attack from range, your dogs will win eventually.

My first thought was more along the lines of this.

<.< Look at the date of the post I quoted.

Late Summer

Oh my armok…



What in the world just happened?

One moment ago, all the animals were in their cages, nice and safe from the extremities of the outside world.
Next thing I know, I hear a loud *CREEEEAAAAAK* followed by the chaotic cries of dwarves and animals as 16 cages simultaneously open themselves.

Beak wolf hunters (they look like giant ugly wingless birds), goblins, rhesus macaques, and a massive minotaur all come stampeding about in the zoo now gone crazy.

Oh, I see one of my traps went off as planned!

I see you also forgot to check on my dwarf. (she went insane, that's why I stopped early)

And nobody fell into my second trap, I see. :(

the accuse button will send a dwarf straight to the punishment phase
I hope this works even on "innocent" dwarves!

There is always one idiot who gets in the way and needs to be locked up, but hasn't committed any real crimes.

(also, it lets us be complete dicks, which is always a bonus)

Look, if I want to argue that he has never done anything useful, is it really a good idea to only point to one post? You seem to think the answer is "yes". Why?

You want me to explain why I call zombie's posts scummy? All right, I'll point to The One Big Example, since you seem to prefer that.
zombie urist, if you were scum, would deliberately let yourself get killed if it meant that your buddy was likely to go one and win?
Probably. It really depends on who my partner was and how skillful he is. I don't know how I can "deliberately let" myself get lynched without doing something really stupid.
He basically said "maybe, depending on everything". So tell me, in what way is that not scummy?


Also, I did ask you a question. You gonna answer it or should I just assume this whole thing has been a scum ruse?
The question is, basically, "Why did you do this thing that you explained while you were doing it?" Why is that not a shitty question? If you wanted to claim his questions weren't shitty, that's probably the single worst one to point to -- why did you choose that one?

150
So why was drudging up all his posts necessary then? (It wasn't. Focus on the strongest pieces of evidence etc. etc.)
How is answering questions with simple reasoning or answers a crime?

It's not. You're suspecting him for terrible reasons.
But they were clearly rhetorical questions, as evidenced by the fact that you immediately answered them yourself.

Should I answer them anyway? (this question is not rhetorical, I ask it because your actions are confusing me on this point)
