Ide emigrate as a cat and adopt the overseer =)

[Oliolli]

You completely forgot to include Grand Master Biter, Competent Thrower, Adept Kicker, Adequate Lasher and Novice Knife User.

The reason is that you've never mentioned (or shown) any of those skills to me. I only have experience about your striker skill.

On a completely unrelated note, I've started training up my dodging skill.

On a completely unrelated note, do you think dwarves have the medical capacity to identify mutilated remains through dental records?

[wierd]

I don't think they keep dental.  They just list loose teeth as "urist McSomebody's left eye tooth"

Its part of the ESP record keeping I think.

Now, the ideal way to do this is to jab them with a really big lancet in the neck, then dessicate the body and put it in a bed.

That way you can blame the vampire mayor, and get away with it.



If we are listing military skills.....

I am a competent scourger. 

[Talvieno]

It's too bad music hasn't been directly implemented yet, because as it stands I'd probably migrate to this fortress as an Adequate Cook with a moderately high musical sense. If I ever get to be a noble, I'll probably end up mandating the construction of adamantine instruments, but more realistically I'll be enlisted into the military and die in the first siege, or be the subject of some cruel science, or end up tracking some syndrome throughout the fortress while hauling. I am the useless immigrant.

Nonsense, you're one of our best !!SCIENCE!! officers. We need you for ideas and thorough testing and research. I'll be your guinea pig. I've wound up as that in enough forum projects already.

EDIT:

On a completely unrelated note, I've started training up my dodging skill.

On a completely unrelated note, do you think dwarves have the medical capacity to identify mutilated remains through dental records?

Yes, definitely. They can identify a dwarf from a single tooth. The average dwarf is incredible in that way. They can sort out specific teeth into the correct coffins while neglecting to bring the body itself! What human could ever manage such a feat?

[RAKninja]

if i were not a snatcher, i'd be militia commander.  i have real world military experience.  oh, i'd have levels in siege operation and masonry as well.

but because i am indeed a goblin master thief, i still have these skills, i just use them to liberate the children.

[Naryar]

It'd be a lot harder to start science threads, if Bay12 Forum was a mountain hall.

How's that?

Anyway, I'm going to need a team of stoneworkers, mechanics, and architects.  I have a... project that I need done.
Applicants must not have any fear of heights.  Or of spikes.
My medical staff and I will be on site throughout construction in case of accidents, but I can assure you all that the utmost attention will be paid to prevent any unwanted casualties.

Naryar cancels Individual Combat Training : Struck by inspiration

Mechanic reporting.

Naryar cancels Link a whatever to Lever : Pickup Equipment

Now I must just find an iron chain to NOT fall stupidly...

Excellent!  Now, I'll need a tower ~20 stories tall, 6x6 square, with a staircase going up the outside.  Don't bother with the interior floors, they're not necessary.  Also, build another 6x6 room adjacent to the base of the tower, separated from it by a glass wall with a door.
When that's done, build a retracting bridge on each floor, then link them to an array of levers in the room at the bottom.

but i am not a mason nor a glass worker aaaargg

Naryar cancels herculean task : needs 40 more dwarves with different tasks.

The fortress has struck limonite !

*Goes to the magma smelters and starts a ten limonite batch*

I would try to be the Dungeon Master.

I like cloaks.

[Garath]

Which one!

*Pulls a random lever*

Sorry, dungeon masters are so superfluous, we don't need one. Maybe 40d is still hiring.

[Lovecraft]

Which one!
