Hmm, Is this normal?
« on: August 31, 2008, 10:48:01 am »
Hello,

So i've recently hit HFS and mistakenly mined some adamantine during the ensuing chaos. Shortly thereafter I had a queen arrive. Now, I knew this would happen, but the moment she starts socializing with the current fortress inhabitants she begins forming grudges. Not just one or two. She currently has a grudge against roughly 15 out of 49 dwarves in the fortress.

  Not a single friend. Now, this is a problem. She almost immediately starts tantruming and punching people because she's constantly talking to " Someone Annoying " and her paved with Gold and filled with artifact bedroom that she's currently confined to in the WIP castle apparently isn't enough, nor are the bridges made of gold and the gold lined road. She's on the border of miserable at the moment, and i'm positive the second I unlock her door she's going to go nuts.

So, Is this normal or do I have a REALLY obnoxious queen?

To me, it sounds like just a normal day in Dwarf Fortress. XD

Wow, that sucks.

What I recommend is that you have a separate food and booze stockpile for her, and make sure that it's only accessible by her from her bedroom.

And thus did the dream of dwarven antigravity fade away, not with a massive explosion or a flood of magma, but with a whimper.

I'm going to be depressed all day now.

Or you could always do it the faster way.

Hmm, If I were to let her self destruct, might I end up getting a slightly less... socially inept monarch?

On a side note, I believe I may have found the dwarven female reincarnation of Joseph Stalin.

Yeah, I'd say you need to seal off her quarters and feed her via airlock. That really sucks.

Out of curiosity, what does her profile look like?

I say build her a lovely warm/cool room over a magma pipe/lake.
Then give her a good bath, along with the house.

Wouldn't it be better to just let her tantrum and have the guards kill her?

Sounds like she's the Queen of Hearts.

Sounds like keeping her in the fortress as is would make a great story
Try and keep her alive in an alternate timeline.

As requested



                                                                                 


Not shown: The page of Grudges above. It seems like instead of making friends she makes grudges when they get to that stage. All she's really missing is the constantly paranoid and crippled by judgments of others to be a bonafide psychopath.

Do the people she has grudges against happen to worship something else than Therleth?
