The worst part of all of this is that Shakerag won.

I always assumed the same reason the rest of us do in the real world. :)

Huh, this must be the reason why we end up with philosophical and political discussions whenever I'm drunk with my friend.

Is that why so many politicians are alcoholics?

So I'm not the only one! This always happens and my friends think I'm stark raving mad insane.

How much alcohol would it take to get them to stop walling themselves in, or having a meeting on a bridge over a pit which I need to raise in the middle of a siege?

This actually happened just the other day. Ended up getting sieged with more dwarfs outside than I would have liked, I put up an alert and they all go to the burrow except for the mayor and a child who was throwing a hissy from a lack of shoes and the two decide to have a meeting on the freaking bridge. I should've killed those idiots myself but I don't like to be cruel to my dwarves (too much anyway) but luckily my traps, ballistas and crossbows held them long enough for them to get a clue and finally go inside.
