Weird Question...
« on: June 16, 2013, 09:27:02 pm »

I was looking at 'r' - reports - and noticed two Dwarfs had been fighting.  But there was no reports on any animals, goblins or any foes in the area.  I found both in the hospital, placed in the same bed, even when there was two available, and they were a married couple.

While both were wounded both seemed happy - I have a large medical staff and a main hospital and about three smaller ones - so everybody is taken care of or has a place to crash if need be.  Their kid was even with them - I assume just following the Mother. 

Was this a domestic 'issue'?  The Captain of the Guard and his men did not seem to react and I found nothing under Justice.  Dwarf Fortress has surprised me in so many ways - but this...I am not sure what to think of this.  I would think their fight would have gotten out of control.

Any theories?

Were the dwarves actually fighting each other? The expanded report would say something like Urist McOne punches Urist McTwo in the head blah blah blah.

My personal thoughts are falling objects or a mining accident.  Both generate reports and both can kill or maim a dwarf very easily and without a lot of evidence.

It's faster to write "!!science!!" than any of the synonyms: "mad science", "dwarvern science", or "crimes against the laws of god and man".
