schaudenfreude artifact
« on: June 13, 2012, 06:38:25 pm »
One day, the mayor of Boulderblades decided it was time to appoint a Hammerer. So naturally, it was decided that one of the esteemed badass hammerlords would be appointed to the position. Upon her appointment as Hammerer and discharge from the military, said hammerlord tossed off all her armor and began wandering around naked. She immediately regretted the decision and became miserable, because apparently:

Needless to say, this was the result:
Spoiler (click to show/hide)

The overseer became both anxious and mildly amused at the prospect of a superdwarvenly strong berserk hammerer rampaging through the fortress.

But suddenly,

Resulting in:

Which, luckily for the skeletal integrity of nearby dwarves, resulted in a happy ending:

Epilogue: The overseerer has decided to begin the production of clothing.

"The Everlasting Shafts"?  Maybe she's lonely enough to forgo modesty, distasteful or not.

It's useful to keep a ‼torch‼ handy.

Maybe she thinks the guy got the wrong end of the stick, as it were?

I don't think that's the kind of modesty the game means.
But still funny though.

And then did ARMOK say, the east is the holiest of directions, and thou shouldst not stand there lest thou be strucketh down by my holiest of beards. And then did the dorfs did say, we shall build from the west, for more do we fear the beard of ARMOK than the strike of the elephant.

For shafts lasting more than four hours, seek medical attention.  Just not here, if you like having lungs.

I'm kinda missing the clue...

You've got 2 dwarves, overseeer + hammerer, who do not seem to be connected. (besides one assigning the other)
The hammerer tantrums over being naked and beats some unlucky fella (also unrelated?).
Proceeds to make an artifact, which does not seem to be related to any of the above?

Don't get it.. is is about the artifact's name?

Google the work Shadenfeude and read the Wikipedia article.  It will all make sense.

In related news, in my last fort, I had several statues of the previous succession of mayors being fired and feeling quite poorly for it.  I built them in the current mayor's bedroom.  Increase room value AND incentive to do a good job!

Clearly he meant Sigmund Schadenfreude. Happiness from the penis envy of others.
