Mute Outpost Liaison
« on: May 09, 2015, 04:05:59 pm »
I have been wondering why my outpost liaison was hanging around my meeting area for a year, when my expedition leader was perfectly available.
I looked at his description, and for some reason he has no tongue. I guess that means he can't hold meetings.

This probably isn't a bug-some people just don't have a tongue-but it is kind of annoying. Time to arrange for an unfortunate accident.

Clearly more research needs to be done. Who wants to drop liaisons off a bridge until one of them loses their tongue?

Also, if you ever figure out why poets/bards/dancers just randomly start butchering people/getting butchered, please don't fix it, I love never knowing when a dance party will turn into a slaughter.

Kafâshrusest, "The Sick Pimple", a giant sparrow bone crown
Quote
This is a giant sparrow bone crown. All craftsdwarfship is of the highest quality. It is decorated with sheep wool and encircled with bands of giant sparrow bone, giant cave spider silk and green tree frog bone. This object menaces with spikes of honey bee chitin, buzzard leather, forgotten beast bone and llama leather.
Note: The giant sparrow bone comes from a giant sparrow skull. Shortly before, I let my bone carver use up all of my forgotten beast skulls, because "I never had a mood that required skulls, so I can safely use them".

Only if you use dfhack and set the corpse stockpile to autotrade.

"is it harmful for my dwarves ? I bet it is"
Always a safe default assumption in this game

I'll find something to do with them. Maybe use them as dwarven shotgun ammo.

At least he wasn't pregnant.

He finally left almost two years later and then the game crashed.  :-\

Wait, no it just froze for a bit.
