What is the longest word you have seen ...
« on: November 19, 2014, 03:37:15 pm »

What is the longest word you have seen randomly formed from the letters of corpses dropped in your refuse heap in Dwarf Fortress.

It only just occurred to me that this could happen, and so far all I have is 'sad'. (yes, it is quite sad really)

's'kunk corpse
'a'lpaca skeleton
'd'og skeleton.

Your turn :)

Corpse-stockpile Scrabble!

Do the words have to be in English, or does Dwarven count? :)

Haha, I think we should allow Dwarven as long as you know the dwarven word without having to look it up. ;)

I think you should make a gigantic square corpse stockpile, fill it to the brim, then put it up as a word search puzzle.

This needs to be done. In all my years of playing, how could no one surmise such an amazing idea?

Can we bump that "sad" up to "sadist"?

My biggest was "HI" from an "H" forgotten beast and an "I" forgotten beast. Never got a picture, though.

Read it and weep, suckers. :P



'D'onkey skeleton
'e'agle skeleton
'a'lpaca skeleton
'd'og skeleton

So appropriate, too.
