67 I wonder if it'd be possible to mod in a race of nocturnal moon-elves in Dwarf Fortress.

Probably, but that's well beyond my area of expertise.

68 they are not entirely nocturnal though, they just sleep 2 times and are active 2 times during a day/night cycle.

Hmm... I don't think DF lets you mess with how quickly creatures get tired and how long they sleep for. Night vision, at least, is probably doable, since vampires have "blood vision" that allows them to see creatures (those with blood, at least) beyond their line of sight, and most eyeless creatures have "omnivision" that does... something. Makes them hard to sneak up on, at least; I'm not sure if they can see through walls or not.

I should test this.

Wasn't it supposed to be a desert?

83 Antarctica's the driest place on earth. Also, sandy deserts get cold at night, since there's no moisture in the air to keep the heat in, so it radiates out into space. Ever notice that it's always colder in the morning after a clear night than after a cloudy night? Same deal.

84 I know, but currently 18 degrees is the hottest it got. I had to make heaters to make sure my colonists didn't got a mood debuf from the cold

86 well, its sand everywhere and always growing season (though you are right that it is currently winter. The 10th day of winter to be exact)

In other news, a teacher begs for safety as he is being chased by pirates from the Gladius Band. Biologically he is 16 years old.

Why do I have the feeling he lies about something? :p
