Mercy killing.
« on: May 11, 2010, 09:30:26 pm »

Ok lets say if urist mcinjured had 2 lung injuries and a damaged brain and was going to die a very painful death and a dwarf decides to do the humane dwarfane thing and put him out of his misery [with an axe to the neck of coarse]This would be good on both adventure mode and fortress mode so what do you think?

Quote from: Phantom
Unknown to most but the insane and the mystics, Tarran is actually Earth itself, as Earth is sentient like that planet in Avatar. Originally Earth used names such as Terra on the internet, but to protect it's identity it changed letters, now becoming the Tarran you know today.
Quote from: Ze Spy
Tarran has the "Tarran Bug", a bug which causes the affected character to repeatedly hit teammates while dual-wielding instead of whatever the hell he is shooting at.

I wouldn't,t mind if you assigned cretin tasks like mercy killing and the dwarfs found a flat space of a specific size and preformed a ceremony. a few dwarfs got in a formation and lit a fire or something.  they could burn the bodies of dead nobles

Burning someone alive is not mercy killing.

Evidently, King of Weasels you have NOT heard of Boatmurdered.
Also depending on the Fortress some could say that the Hammerer already fills this role.

It doesn't seem very dwarven (dorfen?).  It seems like he should volunteer as crew for the next submarine or submagma expedition.  Or just retire with a small cottage in the underground forests.

WHY DID YOU HAVE ME KICK THEM WTF I DID NOT WANT TO BE SHOT AT.
I dunno, you guys have survived Thomas the tank engine, golems, zombies, nuclear explosions, laser whales, and being on the same team as ragnarock.  I don't think something as tame as a world ending rain of lava will even slow you guys down.
