Placing statues is SO bs.

*wink* *wink* *nudge* *nudge*
On a more serious note I keep accidentally oi and it's really annoying if I don't notice right away...

...GOT IT. It took a few minutes, I won't lie. He's making a pun on bullshit = bs = 'b'-'s' (to build then place a statue). The 'oi' thing though, I don't see the pun there.

<o-i>... nothing to do with statues, but the "dwarves stay inside" command. Oh, carp, now I bumped a bad pun thread. Shame on me...  :-\

No, I got the orders-stay inside thing, I just didn't get how it was a pun. Unless it was just a sentence randomly added to a pun joke, which it seems to have been.

Pretty much :/
The Build Statue gag was all I had, I probably could have phrased it better.

Now that I get it, that's a pretty clever joke.

Nice. Now my inner 10-year-old can giggle endlessly when placing statues.

Just like how I try to build my constructed floors in 3x2 rectangles, so I get to type f-u-k-k over and over again.

Incidentally, I do find often when placing statues that my dwarves like to get stuck behind the statues. It's really quite hilarious, especially since I often don't notice until I see "Urist McStupidIdiot has died of thirst" on my screen.

Well that's quite the passionate statue placers you've got Kyronea. They DIE for their art! Voluntarily entombing themselves into their statue alcoves.
