A script for the mac.  Usage: start your adventurer.  Leave town.  Drop everything.  Then stand on a pebble or peat or whatever -- something inexaustible that you can throw.  Then, set this script running, and come back in 15 minutes (the 2s delay per toss seems to be required: otherwise, it sometimes misses a key, and that is all sorts of bad).  Note: during those 15 minutes, you CANNOT USE YOUR COMPUTER.  Or, more precisely, you can't switch the window focus.

That said, you can select the terminal you're running the script from and ^c it without issue.  If I knew more applescript, I'd throw a check in there to quit if you change focus.

If the sandy loam is actually choice 'b' and choice 'a' is to set the tree on fire, change 'grabbable'.  If you want something short of legendary, reduce the 'legendary' variable.  I actually don't know how many tosses are needed; 300 isn't it (that's merely professional).

#! /usr/bin/osascript

set legendary to 400
set grabbable to "a"
set throwable to "a"
tell application "Dwarf Fortress"
 activate
 repeat legendary times
 tell application "System Events" to keystroke "g"
 tell application "System Events" to keystroke grabbable
 tell application "System Events" to keystroke "t"
 tell application "System Events" to keystroke throwable
 tell application "System Events" to key code 126
 tell application "System Events" to keystroke return
 delay 2
 end repeat
end tell

I think this should be in the Bug Reports forum. Although everyone knows about it already.

Oh please; it's not nearly as ridiculous as "pick nose" in Hero's Quest II.

Do tell.

You could 'pick nose'.  It gave you lockpicking, strength, and dexterity.  If you did it while sneaking, you'd get sneaking and endurance.  So if you picked your nose a few hundred times, that made you invincible.

Awesome...

But, it was also possible to fail, resulting in your immediate death.

Are you serious?

That game sounds awesome.

wasn't that the game where if you were stupid enough to walk in front of the dart board at the thieves guild, you got hit by a dart and died, and the game asks if perhaps its was a "fatal error"?

You might be thinking of "So you want to be a Hero?
