Roll To Dodge / Re: INVADE EARTH

Simple. I have as much of an empire and fleet behind me as you do. The difference is, I'm not using it at the moment. The theory is a union of empires, not a union of an army and a strike force. Besides, let me turn it around...

What do you get by destroying people?

You charge at the three others, swinging wildly. You smack one upside the head, knocking him over, and slam into the general store owner. The non-Valean draws a pistol and points it at you, shouting, "Freeze!"

Noy isn't a word...let alone a verb...

Bid adieu to Tim.
Increase bonus.
Resurrect Urist and make some more.
Attack the Rock with, I dunno, whatever wrestling moves a spaceship can do.

Anounce the end of days is fast approaching.
You might be right...

Oh, and misko? Nice hidden gender issues.
...?
First part: The in-universe world might be ending. Second part: You're a girl. And you seem to be either concealing some kind of issue over the change, or are completely fine with them, implying the end of more amusing gender issues.
. . .
I really don't know how to respond to that. Like at all. I think I'm being accused of transexualism or something. I seriously have no clue.I can't even tell if it's IC or not.
Not quite. I'm saying you have or had some kind of gender issues.
I disagree.
Mind rebutting my argument, then? It's no fun to try to debate with someone who won't debate.
And that is why I won't. MUAHAHAHA! I HAVE FOUND YOUR WEAKNESS GREATWYRM! BOW BEFORE ME METALLIC DRAGON!
That's not a weakness, it's a noying.
So noying is also your weakness? QUICK MINIONS, NOY HIM, NOY HIM TO DEATH!
No, not being debated with is annoying.

Hah! I haven't made a costume yet!

Prepare lair.
Expand lair by digging underground.

Dr. Device isn't a good mining tool. Also, mind explaining again why the Moon wouldn't work to mine? A cloud of dust or whatever is left after your...intensive mining techniques would still orbit the Earth.
That much matter collapsing on itself leaves a huge gap in the area, needing something to fill it. Earth would gravitate toward it, knocking it out of it's orbit, and killing everyone and everything on it from the stress. Even without that, a lack of a moon would leave Earth without tides, and the following surfer revolt would upset the delicate balance between Dude and Sir. Leaving the world in total anarchy. And, barring either of those, I'll just pretend that the lack of waves would set off a ton of volcanoes and send Earth into another Ice Age.

((Playing fast and loose with physics, social dynamics, hydrodynamics, and plate tectonics.  Aw yeah.))
Um, yeah. Sorry to use real science here, but...
The Moon's remains would still provide gravity, and loss of tides wouldn't be that bad. A few species would go extinct, but there's plenty of species not dependent on tides to replace them.

But badly made jokes aside, the mission is to conquer Earth. So Earth shall be glassed, mined, and destroyed. Then I will lie to myself and say they are the same thing. Or I'll roll a one and my death weapons will blow my shiny new fleet apart.
Support me instead, and mine the Moon

Can anyone think of any possible reason to insist on staying on the same planet as the rogue god?
Been brought up.
The best answer we've gotten so far is "GM says so."

Why is our power tax power so low? How many gods are there?

Anyways...
go and start converting his sentient worshipers. give some sort of tech, like pottery.
Also provide miracles for our followers as requested. Name them the Liffas.

Seriously, have you put this on the Modding subforum yet?

But the existence of daggers as weapons is unrelated to the likelihood of dwarves being named Urist.
Also, I don't think that elves have daggers 'enabled' in the raws. But I see your point.
Dwarves still know what daggers are, though. They just don't see any reason to make a dagger when they could make a sword.

I don't think golems should have to go haywire, just as a possibility.
I assume you mean that golems should have the possibility of going haywire? Agreed.

syyrah: Good overall.

Good suggestion. The tread title could should be more descriptive though.
Agreed.

DF Suggestions / Re: Enable people to crete their own UIs
« on: December 06, 2012, 08:49:29 pm »
1 and 2 require mutually exclusive definitions of "User Interface." 2 requires that it only be the display,but the only-display thing is referred to in 1 as "UI wrappers."
2: What do you mean by "revolution, not evolution?" Do you mean Toady should spend tons of time on a completely new UI that will need to be fixed every major update?
3. Dwarf Fortress is Toady's magnum opus. He doesn't want to share the work with anyone. This has been brought up a lot.  Besides, it's not like Toady has tons of income to blow--donations are pretty much his only income.
4. Well, most of Toady's time is spent on major releases, so...yes. The UI isn't a separate thing from the game, unless you're thinking of the "wrappers."

DF Suggestions / Re: Former Child Adeventurers
« on: December 06, 2012, 08:43:46 pm »
Welcome!
Congrats on suggesting a "Have adventurers exist before the game starts" suggestion I don't think has been suggested before.

Since worldgen can be continued in the next version, this is finally plausible to code in now.
I'd also like to be able to search by age (not just gender/name), and to be able to sorta control my adventurer-to-be's life before he begins adventuring.

And why on earth are you continuing that horse and buggy discussion from a year ago? Was that just a missed quote tag or something?
Because he was factually wrong.
