[Lord Dakoth]

Also, in regards to the theory that nobles are retired badasses, what does that make the hammerer and the dungeon master? Awesome or not awesome?

Neither. Just crazy.

The Hammerer is some crazy dwarf who runs around hammering random people, the Dungeon Master is some crazy dwarf who runs around wearing fifty cloaks, mittens, hoods, and shoes and has kinky fetishes for all kinds of valuable metals.

So badass, in their own special ways.

[Blackburn]

Isn't the term "crazy dwarf" a bit redundant?


Anyway...suddenly, the hammerer and dungeon master seem like normal dwarves with the way you described them.

Isn't the term "crazy dwarf" a bit redundant?

To paraphrase Mark Twain, "Suppose you were a lunatic. And suppose you were a dwarf. But I repeat myself."

[Blackburn]

Mark Twain was a very dwarfy human.

He once wrote a false news story during a time where everyone was investing money in businesses. It went that a man lost his money when the business he invested all his money in closed and, in a fit of madness likely familiar to most DF players, killed his family, slit his throat, and went riding into the sunset on a horse, bleeding to death and carrying the corpse of his wife.

He did this because he thought it would be funny to freak out the general public. Which he did. Verily.

Plus, look at that mustache.

Dwarves could learn something from him.


...Woo, I got off-topic quick.

The only way in which they're born into nobility is by spending loads of time training their social skills, and then getting elected mayor.  My fort (13+ years) almost always has a mayor who was once a child in my fort.
