"GreyMario is the biggest damn starvation master to ever hit Dwarf Fortress. And he is not happy about it."

Since farming is now incredibly easier in the new version, this tittle is pretty impressive. ;) --Eagle of Fire 01:36, 19 November 2007 (EST)

Thanks for catching that welcome message being on the wrong page. Guess I'm losing my edge lately :P --Edward 00:11, 9 May 2008 (EDT)

Ah. Now that you pointed it out, I poked around and saw that consensus here is Wikipedia's style manual. Sorry -- not a huge Wikipedian, but now I know what to consult. --Mike the stout 23:47, 21 May 2008 (EDT)

Note to self

Resume playing Dwarf Fortress. And proxy around my forum ban, which, btw, I *still* haven't been given a reason why it exists. --GreyMaria 00:58, 23 September 2008 (EDT)

From the official Bay12 forums? Huh. I've never even heard of any moderation at *all* going on there, let alone someone being banned. Have you tried talking to Toady about it? Spoggerific 09:50, 23 September 2008 (EDT)

No, I haven't. I doubt I'll get a usable response out of him though. --GreyMaria 19:33, 23 September 2008 (EDT)

Random kudos

If your signature --[[User:GreyMario|GreyMaria]] is the hybrid Steven Brust / John Varley reference it reads as to me, hey, good work. :) —Chaos 01:16, 24 September 2008 (EDT)

Uh, who? I've never heard of either of them. GreyMario is my normal username and GreyMaria is the female alter-ego. --GreyMaria 13:51, 24 September 2008 (EDT)

Ah, well. Mario Greymist is a famous assassin in Steven Brust's Dragaera books, and in John Varley's Steel Beach, the protagonist Hildy's given name is Maria, or Mario when male. (Hildy spends a fair amount of the book in each sex.) —Chaos 15:20, 24 September 2008 (EDT)

(insert comedy anime faceplant here) Oh. --GreyMaria 15:41, 24 September 2008 (EDT)

'Female alter-ego'—What do you mean, 'female alter-ego'? ~ Midna 17:55, 29 October 2008 (EDT)

Yikes...

Thanks for correcting my mistake on the quote page...I thought I did it all. Apparently not. Thanks anyways.

re: question marks

I was moving the content from the titles with question marks to titles without them so they could be accessible. The point is to not lose content; there are lots of pages that there are no links to; they'll still up in a search. (whereas if the ? version showed up in a search, you couldn't view them) Random832 15:54, 16 October 2008 (EDT)

The point is to reply on your own talk page. :V

At any rate, how many people do you know that search complete questions when they want info? --GreyMaria 16:18, 16 October 2008 (EDT)

Multi-lined comments

"multi-lined comments are seperated by a br, not a (newline newline)::"

Not that I'm aware of. Why is it important that it be done the particular way you specify?--Maximus 13:43, 30 October 2008 (EDT)

Here's an example below.

Hmm, I'll have to try that.

By the way, is there any way to prevent a siege from ever occuring? --~~~~

See how that looks like it's two different comments, one unsigned? --GreyMaria 13:47, 30 October 2008 (EDT)

It also looks like one person replying with two sentences, each on its own line. That is in fact exactly what you did in the thread immediately above this one on this page. It's also how Midna formatted his multi-paragraph comments immediately above the reply of mine that you reformatted over at Talk:Adamantine. Using white space between paragraphs improves readability.--Maximus 17:49, 30 October 2008 (EDT)

Except at the time I was tired and not paying attention. Also "everyone else does it" is not a valid excuse. --GreyMaria 20:07, 30 October 2008 (EDT)

True. I separate my postings into white-spaced paragraphs simply because I think that looks best, not because anyone else does it.--Maximus 20:21, 30 October 2008 (EDT)

Strange mood limitations?

Hello GreyMario,

You edited the wiki around the time that something about the limitations on strange moods were added. In particular, the number of strange moods is supposed to be based on the number of "created items" and "revealed subterranean tiles". Can you say anything about the specifics on this? Does mined out rock count towards your total of created items? To "reveal" a tile, must you mine it out, or is it enough to just see what's there? Gairabad 00:22, 17 November 2008 (EST)

This should have been posted on the talk page of the article in question. To answer your question, mined out rock MAY count (it's unknown), and as for revealed tiles, being able to see it after mining out nearby rock. --GreyMaria 00:32, 17 November 2008 (EST)

I did post there, but I wasn't sure that you or someone who knew would see it. Gairabad 01:10, 17 November 2008 (EST)

Also, do you know whether bolts and units of drink are counted individually? Gairabad 01:15, 17 November 2008 (EST)

Theories abound on the talk page. One bit I read said that stacks counted as one item, but nobody's sure. --GreyMaria 02:22, 17 November 2008 (EST)

LOL, alright. I get the point. Off to the talk page I go. Gairabad 02:37, 17 November 2008 (EST)

DF2D?

I have this strange urge to obtain the latest 2-dimensional Dwarf Fortress and pull a Boatmurdered by flooding the world in magma.
Should I do it? --GreyMaria 23:54, 27 November 2008 (EST)

...haha, and eight minutes after I ask, I get pulled in by the awesomeness that is that concept. D: --GreyMaria 00:02, 28 November 2008 (EST)
