"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)
