This thread reminds me of my first real fortress:

Hopeful beginnings followed shortly by utter confusion and then a swarm of trolls and beings that have been here longer than most civilized races have existed.  Followed afterward by a caravan that shows that someone out there cares, and then more trolls.

and then more trolls.

And then elves

This isn't nerdrage.  This is a room full of dwarves.  It's only natural someone gets punched in the eye, it's dwarves!  Give it a half hour and we're all drunk and staring at this amazing waterfall.

You want to see rage.  Then talk about how aquifers are required for a successful fort destroy a masterpiece.  THEN you'll get some tantrums going!

My dwarves are so fucking happy that i can melt masterpiece axes and my blacksmith will be "Aww lad who cares? Booze Boobs and Bed are all i need"

Also likely because your blacksmith has dozens.  A destroyed masterpiece costs a whopping 1,000 happiness points, but that's divided amongst all.  If he's got 2 and you destroy 1, then it's only 500 lost.  If he's got 20 and you destroy 1, then it's 50 lost.

My weaver went insane when his one little piece of cloth got stolen :<

So you said something silly and people laughed at you. Well, you're lucky this is the bay12 forums. Most of us have probably already forgotten because we're building megaprojects and Sciencing. Build a megaproject for us to ooh and aah over, and it'll all be goblins under the atomsmasher.

Don't forget the cooks who get pissed that dwarves love their masterpiece creations.

"WHAT? THAT NO GOOD URIST MCHUNGRY ATE MY PLUMP HELMET STEW AND LOVED IT? GAH! SO ANGREH!"
*Proceeds to smash in several skulls in tantrum*

Museum of a million roasts

[Schizotek]

Does a masterwork roast being eaten really piss off the cook?
Cuz I've never noticed it before. Then again by the time my cook is legendary she can always feed the entire fort with what shes already made for decades.

[Girlinhat]

No, it doesn't.  I think it did for exactly one version but was hotfixed.  Similarly, firing masterwork bolts doesn't cause bad thoughts.  Having a roast or a bolt stolen by a macaque does cause bad thoughts, but usually by that time the cook/weaponsmith has so many masterpieces that it hardly matters.

Masterpieces which are meant to be consumed actually work as intended.
