What the hell does cocaine have to do with anything?

A suggestion to control ADHD in the event that we lack normal ADHD medication. Coca leaves. Steal them from the elves, I guess.

I suggest experimenting with forgotten beast/titan syndromes, much like modern biologists. Except we test it on animals first, and wait 3-5 years for all symptoms to appear. If we find one that induces drowsiness through the same inhibitions as ADHD medication, and doesn't cause any tissue it contacts to rot off, then we've got a winner.

........How are we suppose to eat after being pushed in these caves by you and those vile elves?

You're not. Until dinner time, at least.

[Corai]

Well, I never gone hungry cause of all the bones lying around-CRAP I JUST ADMITTED TO BEING A SCAVENGER.


You win Weird, >.>

[Loud Whispers]

Don't get boomhappy.

The mayor has decreed from today until the end of time, that every day be marked with explosions to celebrate not being dead!

[wierd]

Pushed!?  The little munchkins worldgen there!

I can only conclude that they LIKE it in there.

I am sure a talkative little urchin like yourself could introduce them to fire, agriculture, ....culture....

Perhaps teach them to speak instead of gibber......

And then they could make their caves as awesome and warm as any dwarf fortress, just midget size!

But sneaking in the back door, leaving the back door unlocked, and stealing everyone's left sock in the night will result in plushification. No exceptions.

I MAY BE A KOBOLD, BUT EVEN I KNOW THATS A HORRIBLE IDEA!


Use magma-mines instead.

We all know we world-gen there cause the mountains are already taken and the forests are taken too.


Thats why I mod my kobolds to have both.

I'm afraid I would be quite a boring inhabitant. I'd probably be a wonderful bookkeeper... which is about the most boring job in the world except to people like me who love keeping lists, arranging data, and generally being picky about patterns and precision. In real life, I'm a psychology/engineering student with an aim to go to graduate school and design assistive technology, with a focus on research. Some of the best times of my life have been spent making Excel and various specialized statistics programs turn thousands of numbers into graphs and p-values. Sometimes I even do it for school or work. 

In DF, I'd be one of those bookkeepers who just kind of stays at the desk all the time until they start flashing blue arrows, and random dwarves keep complaining that they can't bring them water because there aren't any buckets, and keep updating stockpile records even when you got to Highest Precision fifteen years ago.

Yeah, boring, to anybody but a statistics geek. But it's my kind of life. Not that I wouldn't be willing to bite the fingers off invaders if they disturbed me at my work. Do not dare touch my circles! And I won't be near as passive about it as a certain ancient mathematician. You stop me from counting on my fingers, and I will bite off your fingers, one-by one, very precisely. And then I will go back to counting blocks of microcline.

watchu talkin about legendary bookkeeper - one of the best jobs ever

[wierd]

You can keep it, I hate taking inventory and accounting.

But if you try to inventory the reagent cabinet of the pyrochemistry building, I won't be held responsible for accidents.

[Callista]

Ooohhh... reagents... 

*is drawn in like moth to flame*

[wierd]

Handling dangerous and possibly highly toxic substances is done at your own risk.

If you don't mind, I will go hide in the bomb shelter on the other side of the fortress. Come get me when you are done.

I think we're a dwarf in the same spirit. except I wouldn't get anything done due to procrastination.

Please let me in, I break easier then you. I will may you with a mug made of solid......................


*Paints the mug aqua*

MADE OF SOLID ADAMANITE!

[Talvieno]

Lovely. There are times I just atribbute them to all the hits to the head I've taken. Quite few now that I think of it. that rock, friends smashing me into dirt playing football, falling over a railing when I was little... Bounced off a metal planter, a radiator, and a hardwood floor on that one... And yet I only got minor bruises from that. Tiny rock? FUCK YOU! STICHES!

Anyway, I would imagine 4 kobolds to load, two to fire a ballista. Simple enough, and barring accidents with the strings, they'd probably make fine siege operators, since they seem to lack a self preservation instinct based on thier tenacity.

Unfortunately, kobolds are generally untrustworthy cowards.

Splint:  If it's a choice between cocaine and ADHD, I'd stick with the ADHD.  Addiction is something I want to avoid.

I think I'd prefer to avoid addiction as well... lol    Anyway, with enough willpower it's easy to overcome. Not so with chemical addictions.

I can stave off the effects of ADHD without my medication if motivated. Survival is a strong motivation.

Also, what is a dwarf fortress if not a giant bomb shelter? In the event of a cosmic ray burst, dwarves would be the only living creatures (and us too I guess) aside from marine volcanic vent colonies. Oh yeah, and the caverns.

And kobolds, we would form great and unique cultures in our caves, and as we grow, we eventually learn how to dig, smelt, and we evolve to learn how to fight, we wall ourselves in, learn, and eventually get into the caverns, and begin to form a language, and with the dwarves we will defeat HFS and we all live happily ever after.


Or the dwarves will make us go boom.
