a satisfying acquisition
« on: January 15, 2012, 04:42:51 pm »

They muted me. Well, I got pretty excited before it happened, so I guess I understand. I'm going to limit myself to one new thread a day, OK? So here it is

A satisfying acquisition: what is this? In the absence of the dwarven economy, what does the happy thought about making a satisfying acquisition mean?

Jack was a Legomaniac. Then they treated him with Thorazine. Now all he does is watch TV

Dwarves can claim things for thier own. Oh, and it wasnt the number of threads that was the issue - it was the constat posting again and again and again and again all one after another. Also, by "they" you mean Toady. :)

Not to diminish his uniqueness by using a gender-indiscriminate collective pronoun

Funny, even food contributes to this - if it's good enough. Also, socks.

So do they just pick up clothes? Or might I find =clear glass vials= of golden salve and rum in their cabinets/coffers?

I like how they have to claim their food before they eat it;

Dude.  That's Urist's cookie.  I know that Urist has been comatose in the hospital for years, but you can't touch that cookie.  Urist might still want it someday.
