As someone who frequents forums in numerous corners of the web, I can honestly say in my experience this is the best community I have encountered to date. I am not insulted for making a mistake, the community knows my posts are for entertainment or inquiry, and in general I feel welcomed. Unlike other forums where I feel like making a post or topic is a chore and I genuinely do not look am annoyed when even a response is made due to sometimes half of them are there only to insult, I for one on here do not have that feeling. I may not frequent this forum all that much, but I should, and all the responses I have encountered were at worse, matter of fact.
I would like to use a post I made a few months ago asking if there was a mod or similar augmentation to df in akin to the anime show "Attack on Titan" as an example. All the responses were very nice and informative. Had I made that same topic in a different forum for a different game my experience with forums leads me to believe that many, if not all, the comments would likely be condescending at best. In short, you dwarves are great and have passed my exceptions. Your alright!
But alas, that is not the only reason I am here. I play dwarf fortress on and off. I would personally rate myself as a beginning player. Above novice, but still much to learn. Lately I have been trying to hone my creative muscles, which has dulled over the years.
On another game called minecraft I was making an adventure map, under the name "Cavern Legend". Its a project that is great at bettering my writing and general creativity. However I had to put a halt on it for the time being as I do not have the means to move further on the project. I need a better computer, mine can barely play the game!
I feel it is time to move onto a different project. I am considering making a fortress and playing a season, then proceeding to write on these forums about the fortress itself. The twist will be, the writing will be in rhyme. Has that been done? Please tell me it hasn't! I usually go for an a b a b rhyming scheme, but if you dwarves are more akin to another, do not be afraid to voice your opinion. This is also to give back to a community who has treated me well. I will engrave some humor here and there. (see what I did there, engrave! Har har!)
I am using 40.19. I would use 40.24, but the internet I have access to is very fickle with its bandwidth. NEVER GET SATELLITE INTERNET IF YOU CAN AVOID IT! READ THE REVIEWS FIRST BEFORE DECIDING. CUSTOMER BEWARE! When I have the opportunity to gain access to another isp with a normal amount of downloading capacity, I shall download it.
For my future fans . I will have some, right? suggestions and helpful tips on my quest is welcomed. As mentioned, I am a beginner, and as such there is much for me to learn. I haven't even perfected the technique of making a well. Also I would like the community to vote for a name on my project:
Can a Poet Rule?: Votes - 0
Poet Fortress: Votes - 0
Here be a Poet: Votes - 1
With Pen and Ink, Strike the Parchment!: Votes - 6
Praise the Poets, we have Struck Literature (suggested by "That Wolf"): Votes - 1
Also you may suggest a name. If I like it, or if many others like it, I will add it to the list.
