No Ghostbusters...
« on: November 21, 2010, 05:24:57 pm »
So, I abandoned a fortress after a massive tantrum spiral claimed most of my dwarves. Upon reclaim, ghosts started rising from the corpses of the previous inhabitants. I went to make memorials for them...

but their names do not show up on the list of eligible engravings.

This is becoming a problem, as the one violent ghost has already thrown one mechanic into the canyon to his death, and smacked my chief medical dwarf something fierce.

Of course, I may have been watching way too much of that lately.

... Yes, the hugs are for everyone.  No stabbing, though.  Just hugs.

If you hit a dwarf with moving water with sufficient strength it will knock the baby out of the mother's arms.  The water can then be used to sweep the baby into a well or cistern for drowning.  The device which does this can also double as a mist generator.

We'll have to make particle accelerating Proton Packs that can apprehend the negatively charged ectoplasmic entities!

Wait, I slipped into a nerdial trance for a second there.

It isn't a new Dwarf Fortress version until we're made to fear some kind of regular creature.  Carp, Elephants, Unicorns, Badgers, and now Mosquitos.  I've got 5 dorfBucks on the next one being plagues of groundhogs.

Post this on the mantis bug tracker, it seems like an official "not intended behavior" type bug.

This shit got gainax all over it, THEY POLE DANCE AS THEY TRANSFORM WHAT IS THIS I DON'T EV-

Erm, yea, ghosts are pretty much invincible, and if you reclaim their names don't show up on the list, so failed fortresses are pretty much permanent haunted sites at the moment.

You are so unbelievably wrong that my head metaphysically imploded onto a singularity, consuming the whole world in the resulting black hole.
