You know you've been playing too much Dwarf Fortress when...

...You think locking a door will enable you to put a free standing door next to it.

...You are suprised to learn that mules do reproduce.

...You have dreams about a dwarf that lives in the apartment above you, and uses a magma forge that works because of the heat your family produces.  (True story.)

...You get frustrated when all of the drunks you've asked have turned down your offer to 'go on an adventure', and the last one simply punched you in the jaw, calling you some name or another.

...You make several coffins with no immediate need, but "Just in case".

...You have tried smoothing random rocks in your backyard with your bare hands rather than simply removing them.

...No matter how hard you try, dirt roads won't disappear in the middle of winter.

...It seems strange that every single bush that you search for food doesn't disappear, and that each one doesn't have at least some food once you consider yourself skilled enough.

...Setting fires to just about everything is okay.

...You would never think to steal a thing because you just know that everyone is going to attack you once you do.

...You wait for the day that your clothes start blinking different colors in anticipation of becoming Legendary.

...You realize that your skill in Creating Lists of "You that you've been...too much when" has increased at the end of making a post here, and that your only a few points from your next skill up.  Then it dawns on you that you can't skill up in that until Toady implements it, and you sigh, going back to 'sneaking' back and forth for hours on end.

Mules are sterile. For the most part anyway.

Donkey, mule, horse, same thing...    ;)

(I actually didn't know that, though.  So much to learn...)

ahem.... you know you've been spending too much time on the forums and not ENOUGH time playing Dwarf Fortress when you realize you're on page 60-something of a thread entitled "you know you've played too much Dwarf Fortress when..."   ;)

...you give serious thought to how you can hide DF and URW on your computer at work without your boss finding them and firing you.

...your yard is littered with carcasses of birds that no one carries to the refuse stockpile (we're trying to scare away blackbirds with the corpses of their bretheren).

If I remember correctly someone once told me that adamantium comes from the same root as the word adamant, so I believe the name simply means hard or solid, apt name if it's true.

EDIT: Err I spoke to a friend who's studying latin and he says that in latin adamans means solid or unyielding, that might help but I dunno.

But anyway,
you know you have played too much DF when:

You celebrate the oncoming extinction of elephants.

You suffer from alchoholism without ever drinking or having history of it.

You get arrested for attempting to flood the "manager" noble's office in an attempt to stop his mandates.

You watch the news talk about kidnappings and wonder what exactly the goblins do with them.

You wonder whether the military uses bone or wooden ammunition for target practice.

You believe that if you ever make a masterpiece, depending on the curcumstances surrounding it you may get superhuman strength, agility, and/or, toughness.

And yeah that's all I got.

... you impregnate/are impregnated from a distance.

... you make silly English compound words as "translations" for all your friends' surnames.

That's all I got.

But what do I know?
Everything I say should be taken with atleast 1 tsp. of salt, and another liter of Dwarven Wine is recommended.

...when your idea of a holiday is getting six mates together with a few supply's and starting the holiday at the base of the cliffs of Dover

... when every time there after you see tourists you yell "Migrants" and shut the door to your fortress

.... When the police arrive, you lock the doors and begin muttering something about a "Goblin Siege"

...When you see somebody's arm covered in(red) blood, your first reaction is to toss them in a river.

You know you've played too much DF when...


...you forget to take your lunch to work, you eat bugs.

...every paypday you put down a large square of cardboard in your home and  wait for the supermarket to come to you.

...you only move in four directions and ignore everyone and anything diagonal to you.

...you love going out with your mates and invite them out all the time, but you don't ask them until they're in bed.

...when you were asked to move workstations, you started making your new desk out of rocks, but quit your job because there was a dust ball in the way.

...when you make dinner, you take it next door and eat it at their table. You leave seeds all over the floor regardless of what you ate.

...that person you like stops talking to you because not only do you stare but you keep fingering the nearest k letter when you meet.

...when you start making a cup of tea, you make thirty of them. Then you make yourself a sandwich - thirty of them.

...you've been fired for digging a hole in the manager's doorway claiming it would help make their office modest.

...you told a date that you liked them for their haunting moos.

...you paint an equals sign before putting anything down, and have painted one under everything in your workplace. You also keep clearing things out of other people's workstations and putting them on the floor in other rooms.

...you tried to buy a leather jacket with a legendary bolt that was actually just a dog bone. You then tried adding a strip of your shirt to see if it changed their mind.

...guests wonder why there's two doors to every room in your house. You tell them "it's to create an airlock" and stare at them like they should feel safer.

...you put a steel warhammer on your admin assistant's desk with a note saying "Please get milk. Priority 160%".

...whenever someone doesn't get you want you want for your birthday, you strip out of your clothes and fall asleep in the sink.

...You grab everything with your upper leg and lower arm, from holding a pen to caressing your partner.

...you went to see the doctor for a broken brain and were told to leave because you kept strangling the skeleton dummy.

...you went outside to get items during the last hurricane.

...at work you have a document full of text characters you've typed out and saved. You delete and replace each character one by one because you don't have DF there.

...when you saw two people on the street talking about how hot it was, you interrupted them to say "it isn't realistic and you don't see it in other fantasy worlds". You then said "Click here to read about heat and the weather on the wiki" and showed them a piece of paper with "here" written on it underlined.

...your partner goes to put the washing away and you grab them and say "no, no! No more than ten shirts in the basket". Then you strew the clothes around on the floor and go back to playing DF.
