Is a werefort a single or multi-tile creature? This could end badly.

Reading his name would trigger it. Thinking of him would trigger it. No other circumstances would trigger it- it was strictly related to the concept of Bill Clinton entering the conscious mind.

The main issue is that were-beasts are building destroyers.  Production would crawl to a halt not due to lost time spent as a beast, but due to constantly having to rebuild workshops and furniture after your fort experiences that "certain time of the month."  Dwarves would also waste time having to pick up all their clothes/equipment after a transformation. 

The best way to do a were-fort is to just make a were-military. You can designate a barracks from a single piece of furniture, then wall it in to protect it.  They'll still train.  Then keep these military squads locked away from the rest of your fort.  If you need to move new ammo/equipment in, do it via airlocks (stockpile between a pair of bridges).  Everyone that isn't a soldier will remain uninfected.  This includes all your artisans and haulers.  You can also make your miners werebeasts and collect the stone via minecarts and pressure plates.

I like Bumber's interpretation.

A werefort is a Dwarf that occasionally turns into a fortress.

Sometimes my English can be off, but is it just me, or does anyone else have a very hard time trying to figure out what this thread even is?

I would imagine a werefort would cause some serious FPS issues, if it's anything like a normal fortress.

. . . sudden desire to make a fortress twisted into humanoid form, with glowing eyes. . .

How about a fortress full of wereforts?

Well, the original post is fairly nonsensical. It makes a statement that relates Bay12 (Games? Forum?) to crazy dwarves. It then contradicts the "crazy dwarves" claim, without any substantiative proof or anecdotes (stories.) The post then goes off on a tangent, asking how an overseer might deal with a werefort*. The prose is terrible. The author's style is self-indulgent.

*Typically understood to mean a fortress composed entirely of werebeast-infected dwarves, but is interpreted to be a new type of werebeast for my amusement.

Oh!

Huh. I thought maybe he was trying extra hard to rhyme fort and not in a poem, just using the first two lines as a way to introduce rhyme theme for a question about wereforts* (maybe explaining why the first two lines seem irrelevant to last the two).
