dwarf fortress will turn into a religion, where the faithful shalt one day be rewarded with a 3D graphics engine
No, they'd get into an argument about sacraments or something and there'd be a tantrum spiral, the high priest would run afoul of the legendary hammerdrwarf, get launched 40 tiles down the hall, explode into components on impact with a lever, which would in turn flood the entire world with magma ;)

BTT - without context the data is really meaningless, and especially when condensed into statistics.
take just me an my friend:
We often play together. He come from starcraft and manages his fleet very tightly, having a good k/d on most ships.
I in contrast just put my shipyards on auto, form a giant ball'o death and plow my way through the systems.
This means that my k/d is much worse, and the long range types get most kills. I also often do suicide runs with 200 bombers, where 200 bombers kill 1 command station or other building and die in the process.

Great quote from the Dwarf Fortress forums:

Quote from: Puck
Or maybe we can see them as the holy trinity... and then we can fight over who sits on which of his sides.
In name of the Cat, the Brother, and the One Toad. Amen.

Ah yes, the Cult of the One Toad.

I think Armok fits in there somewhere too, but not being a practitioner, I don't know for sure.
