In other words, they probably never played it.  Or got confused after 5 minutes and gave up.

Use the [CODE] tags for ASCII art, it will make it monospaced.

I tried that. I think it looks worse:

Oh, yeah, it does. At least the [code] tags make it so you don't need all those '.'s to the left of 'im.

Actually, that screenshot is from our own screenshots page, and it's still up there.  So that's my fault.

Toad edit:  I mean, my fault (I was over at TT's place).

As you journey to the center of the world, feel free to read the death announcements of those dwarves that suffer your neglect.

One billion b-balls dribbling simultaneously throughout the galaxy. One trillion b-balls being slam dunked through a hoop throughout the cosmos. I can feel every single b-ball that has ever existed at my fingertips, I can feel their collective knowledge channeling through my veins. Every jumpshot, every rebound and three-pointer, every layup, dunk and free throw.

And that if your CPU can handle DF at normal speeds, you can turn up the frame rate until you DO kill your processor,  :D.

If your CPU can hold DF at 200 dwarves during a double siege when you've accidentally breached your overground lava reservoir...  Well, I guess you COULD try draining the ocean...

This is the new record -- 12000 sessions and 4200 Mirror 1 downloads in 2 days just from this yahoo mention.  And maybe 1 donation, if that guy was from yahoo.  I guess they didn't like it, he he he.
