Name that predicament!
« on: December 09, 2012, 03:30:21 am »

What is the relation between this picture



and this picture?



One of my firsts, and pretty darn easy to connect the dots. So I won't be disappointed if this dies off.

To top this easily killable post, share your own pitiful yet common stories that happen behind the scenes of your fort! Who knows? Maybe someone have had the same experience as thou, fellow Bay12ers!

Edit: Note to self: Will need to work on my cropping.

He cleaned himself with some bad soap?
Didn't know soap could do that though.
Perhaps he licked some paralysis ichor off of himself?

I'd guess a water source contaminated with something nasty, myself.

Fell down the waterfall/canyon/whatever that thing is and broke his spine, but somehow managed to stay alive. That at least explains why his entire body (arms, legs, does the torso have any muscles?) got paralyzed.

Arguably he's already a progressive, just one in the style of an enlightened Kaiser.
I'm going to do the smart thing here and disengage. This isn't a hill I paticularly care to die on.

Happened to me once, FB came in through the well. 75% of fort died.

Is that dust? I'm a noob and I'm using a graphics pack...

Anyway, I'd guess the poor guy got his spine crushed by a cave-in. If those grey (dithered white and black, technically) tiles are dust, then my hypothesis would explain those too.

Man, I knew it!

By that logic, you shouldn't be able to play dwarves because they don't show thinking ability.

Naah, it's mist - do you see the water in the middle? Dude fell/got swept away.

So apparantly Adil the peasant hath no use over his hands. The paralyzation did not come from falling down: that would result in fractures, he did not get paralyzed from the proposed corrupted-well itself, but that would be interesting. He is perpetually cleaning his beard off, from the waterfall itself.

Edit: Maybe not perpetually, after seeing him go back to drinking. But the cleaning was the case, FrankyPlaysGames was the closest to cracking the visual puzzle.

He ate/drank something contaminated?
