I'd say though that there's probably not as many people as it seems like, it juts seems that way because those comments tend to stand out as being completely "Where'd THAT come from?"
Curiosity can lead me to do strange things with spreadsheets.

You, me, Chris, Keith, eRe4a3r, Moonshine Fox, Echo34, Hearteater, tigersfan, Cyborg, and Dizzard all appear to be Dwarf Fortress fans (based on a very quick search... apologies if I'm mistaken on anyone.)  Collectively, we've contributed over 50% of all the posts to the Arcen Games forums.  I'm sure there are many more - I stopped searching when I hit 50%.

If the new AI War expansion includes rainshowers of blood and fog that causes ships to turn inside out, I'll be both horrified and amused.

Maybe it rains bits of shattered strategy instead?

I was messing around with Raid Starships sniping off Ion Cannons that were in my way. All of a sudden:

The AI Is Gathering Threat in response to your deep strike on Michkill

Weeeeeee, I didn't know it would do that! Thankfully I have my fleet and a turret complement parked securely on Toothda and a solid turret system on my home world.

If we weren't going for your money, you wouldn't have gotten as much value for it!

Oh, wait... *causation loop detonates*

That was added a while ago to deal with excessive bunnyhopping made by some players. It was deemed to be too out of scope with the intended gameplay (exploit) so thus this was added. It can become REALLY nasty in a hurry :P

*raises hand* I am with the DF crowd, as a matter of fact...

And a fair chunk of our fanbase (at one point, anyway) heard about us on the Bay12 forums.

Yep. That's where I heard about the game.

I actually got a coupon for the game for 66% off I think? I looked at the game, and the idea of man vs. machine intrigued me, especially if the AI REALLY WAS that good. But, I'm certain that the coupon was only for AI War: Fleet Command, and I know I got the Alien bundle, so I'm pretty certain I didn't ever use the coupon... but I also don't think it went to waste. I'm not really sure what happened, but I remember I got two copies of the game when it was 50% off on some other sale and I'm still waiting to give away the other one to a friend.

I didn't actually hear about it on Bay12. Now that I think about it, I can't even remember where I first heard about AI:War or how I found it. It's too long ago :P Fact is, I registered here on Arcen about 6 months prior to registering on the Bay12 forums.

I heard about AI War somewhere, then eventually decided that I could do with another forum and came here from B12.

So it turns out that sending 15 fighters and a champion to neighboring worlds to kill gates about 2 minutes into the game is a BAD idea. I had a bunch of guardians, a Zenith starship and assorted other fluff swarm my homeworld in minutes. I had basically no defenses. WHEEPS!

I survived due to careful target selection and my ever-respawning champion.

^ The same thing happened to me but I used transport ships to move scouts past a high-mark planet.
The AI is touchy.

Yeah, scouts don't permanently stir up AI ships but transports do.

I should've built some basic defenses at least before I sent my ships out there to destroy gates :P
