Dwarf fortress and Screw ups of Biblical proportion.
« on: May 12, 2011, 10:19:15 am »

So I was just letting my mind do it's thing today while I try to decide on some stuff for my uni-work. Aaaanyway, it randomly jumped onto the idea of the great flood and how the rational for that was to punish mankind for using their brains etc etc.

The bible was wrong, guys.

God just mined through an above ground aquifer! By the time he managed to stop the flow most of the world was underwater.

I can't believe we didn't see this before.

What else could the various mythologies and belief systems of the world have gotten wrong?
We need to fix these errors!

Edited: Attempting to expand the subject matter beyond the three major religions.

I suppose the Tower of Babel was just another megaproject with a built-in self destruct lever.

Not quite a holy text... but at least we now know why Hannibal decided on elephants to sack Rome; those things are badass.

What's wrong with using magma? That's almost always the easiest method.
I have issues channeling it properly to do that method. I end up flooding the fortress with magma.

Alternatively:

Jesus, prophet, has bled to death.

God, god, cancels miracle: throwing a tantrum.

Y'all are going to hell, you know that.

(and so am I for laughing my ass off at these.  I can't decide which is my favorite, "interrupted by !!bush!!" or "the crusader has made off with an artifact!")

DF sets out a challenge to us with no explanation and no assistance, and each time we fail it becomes more merciless, but we continue in the hopes that we can show it, "See?  I'm doing good, right?  I kept the little men alive!  You're proud of me, right?"

According to the Bible, when the prophet Elisha was on the road to Bethel he was mocked by some youths for his baldness, and so put a curse on them. Consequently god sent two she-bears from the woods to attack them, and they successfully mauled 42 of them (2 kings 2:23-25). But clearly the Bible has it wrong--even cyclopes can't deal with 21 wrestlers attacking them, so how could two bears do so much?

This needs arena testing.

Also the story of Samson slaying a bunch of people with the jawbone of an Ass seems fabricated, because everyone knows bone weapons suck. Are there jawbones in DF?
