Naked Vampire Throws Tantrum!
« on: March 24, 2012, 09:53:01 am »

He's been fine walled off there for years but now he wants clothes.  He's stark naked of course.  I know if I let him out to collect some clothes he'll drain someone on the way. 

It's been mentioned before but sometimes DF's bugs add strange charm to the game.  Checking the inventory of your legendary armorsmith to discover he's got no clothing on at all cracked me up.  Now everyone has everything on!  I had so much clothing from goblin invasions that there is plenty of stuff for dwarves to wear.

You can dump a few things from above, see if he claims them.

That title made me think of something. What if dwarves produced newspapers? It could generate content based on happenings in the fort.

We already have the "presser" job. :P

The only context 'from above' should be used with is 'death'. In other words, put the vampire into a drop pod high in the atmosphere and deploy it. Give it something to cry about. Throw a pair of socks inside before it drops.

Unleash said berserk vampire upon an unsuspecting goblin horde, and watch as he tears them limb from limb in his desperate lust for the clothes on their backs.

Or get a silver spear to the face, all in all, job done.

I like to keep vampires submerged alive in small glass cylinders full of water around my fort.  Unfortunately, I couldn't do that last time, because he was the damn MAYOR, and needed to be replaced forcibly... (come on guys, you voted for somebody who says he is older than the world is? Brilliant...)

Dwarf fortress in 50 words: You start with seven alcoholic, manic-depressive dwarves. You build a fortress in the wilderness where EVERYTHING tries to kill you, including your own dwarves. Usually, your chief imports are immigrants, beer, and optimism. Your chief exports are misery, limestone violins, forest fires, elf tallow soap, and carved kitten bone.

Just toss in a pair of socks and a loincloth. Not that it really matters, if the vampire is isolated from society who cares about his mood?

I can replace my mayor at will but that might be because I have a count. Is the non-replaceable mayor an issue before you have a higher noble?

Only in Dwarf Fortress...

This is Dwarf Fortress. Where torture, enslavement, and murder are not only tolerable hobbies, but considered dwarfdatory.

This is a brilliant idea. 

Will steal and implement.

Vampires are demanding. You need to get them those fancy goth clothes, otherwise they throw fits ;-)

The entire content consists of senseless murder, a pile of faceless naked women and zero regard for human life in general, all in the service of the protagonist's base impulses. It is clearly a cry for help from a neglected, self absorbed and disempowered juvenile badly in need of affectionate guidance. What a sad, sad display.
