Now the thread qualifies for Most Anticlimatic Ending nomination.

You gotta be kidding us. Is there no way to back it up? Seriously?
Oh well. If I consider the woman to have been a Mary Sue, it'll make me feel better.

[Urist McTaverish]

... or maybe the Protectors of the Plot Continuum came and shot the poor Mary Sue.

Or the SCP Foundation came to secure her.

Can't dwarf therapist or runesmith help remake her? I don't actually use those things since I'm on a Mac, but don't they do stuff like assign traits? I don't think it would be too "un-legit," seeing how we have a picture of her exact traits, and thusly can be spot-on in replication.

Two words:

System restore.

Ok now I'm suspicious! It never happened! Its a lie! Damn you! I almost got back into the game because of this!

photoshop?

[NightmareBros]

photoshop?

A job such as the pictures he has posted doesn't even require that.
MSPaint could do so with just as little effort, because Dwarf Fortress, as you know, runs on ASCII code graphics.
Copy and pasting a alleged sample reference picture(s), taken earlier from the game itself, would easily suffice to create these pictures.
Heck, an ammateur in the ways of creative art could 'probably' do it.
But if your going to go down this line of thought, then ask: Why bother going to all the trouble to create these pictures?
I happen to know from experiance that precise copy and paste work can take around 30 mins, depending on the technique used. Would that be worth it? All that has happened is that Dwarf Fortres had found a Mary Sue, and that the universe conspired to erase her existance soon after with two mechanical failures. Meaning unless the system restore option I recomended earlier works, and he posts the save here to disprove your line of thinking, We have absolulty no way of knowing the truth due to lack of evidence.

Whats photoshop? I have image shack but....

[Lord Darkstar]

Johnfalcon99977, Photoshop is an image editor. It allows you to edit images, photographs, etc.

As for why wouldn't we believe him? I've seen legendary furnace workers immigrate to the fortress. No reason to believe the code wouldn't generate a superstatted immigrant. And if the game uses the mother's stats or the mother and father's stats to decide how often they successfully procreate, then married legendary statted parents are going to make a lot of children as fast as the game allows.

[Encased in burning magma]

I wonder if you can someohow pile up babies in a single tile pit? Then drop them on invaders?

[filthywalrus]
