RAGE!!!!
« on: May 29, 2012, 12:20:30 am »

My queen just died of thirst after being put in jail for violation of the MAYOR's production order, which was for ballista parts.
She was a planter and had 0 skill in siege engineering.

i ARE mad.

Looks like the mayor just staged a coup de etat, watch your other nobles, they're next!

twas the mayors last order before going melancholy. AND the mayor was a vampire, so he'll NEVER die!

And that is why you should always use chains with nearby food/booze stockpiles instead of cages. I personally have never had a dwarf die of thirst/hunger due to the justice system. :P

I prefer just to drop him into the volcano when they do a stupid mandate. Got a lovely setup several z layers high which prevents any dust from escaping the system and ensures no one can see it happen (lever and support system with collapsible floor). I rid myself of a useless noble, and leave him to explore the magma sea. Not to mention the ghosts never seem to leave the magma sea, and I found two separate candy veins below the volcano. Also the best use of/way to get rid of dwarven children there is.

That should be a new type of project, making a rug design in dwarf fortress (With accurate coloring)
"And so, after many deaths and much sacrifice, someone turned their fortress into a fully functioning self aware carpet that actively sought after sources of fresh blood."

At least you get to watch him be miserable forever.

I think he'll eventually hurl himself off something tall. More than once if necessary.

Will dorfs really suicide themselves off of tall things if they are miserable/melancholy?

I kinda wish there was more screaming, but rocks don't hurt so I guess it can't be helped.

Put him into a cage and wall him up somewhere. You now have a fortress that will never ever end. At all. absolutely. Plug your PC to highly redundant power supply, put it into a cage and wall it up somewhere! When df 1.0 is out, return to check how much time will have passed.

Make sure that before you do that you go into the settings and turn off any situations that would cause the game to pause! Such as "A vile force of darkness has appeared" or "Protect the hoard from the skulking filth!" or others that I don't remember at the moment >.>

A dwarf fortress time capsule?  :P Then millions of years later, a future civilization is digging for relics of humanity, searching for clues about our culture and way of life. And what do they find? Dwarf Fortress. What a mindfuck.  :P

I also just had a human diplomat enter from the surface, hold a meeting, then exit the map via hell.... I guess he thinks he's pretty hardass.

Is there any legitimate benefit to the justice system?  Seems like other than trying to avoid bad thoughts in nobles, which is a sucker's game, it doesn't actually do anything but hurt.  Am I missing something?

Technically we are the justice system. I don't know any other game in which you are allowed to convict a dead chicken of murdering someone.

Hey, if a strong enough thrower is having a tantrum and the dead chicken is the nearest object...

I have incredibly cushy justice.
Chain with food and booze stockpiles,bed, chair and table all close by!
Never checked to see if they can use them, but it at least makes them happy.

We just need to get Toady to embed a Lisp interpreter into DF.  Learning lambda calculus in order to play the game wouldn't make DF's learning curve much steeper.
