I didn't say anything about gratitude...
It's not about gratitude.  I just have no respect for something that would think to eat a demon rather than use its corpse as a weapon.

I once had a fortress that the elves would visit. Every year they would bring nothing but wooden logs. Bunch of filthy hypocrits.

Ditto. They will go batshit if you even try to sell a bunch of high quality +giant cave spider silk panties+ (which they love, by the way) in a wooden bin! But hey, what are their bins made of? Huh? Huh? Huh?.

My dwarfs are environmentalists. They're taught to plant two more trees for every tree they cut down.

And it's the exact same thing with elves: for every elf they cut down, I try to have them plant two more of *them* in the ground, too.

QFT. Interested in my more ethical works, eh? I use all my lead ore to make lead crafts, goblets (heh), flasks (hah), and toys (MUAHAHAHhhahhaha) and sell them to the elves. The civ screen for elves in my games should say "imports: hypocrisy, exports: birth defects".

By killing elves, of course.

Elves deserve to die becuase:
1st reason they eat people.
2nd reason their hypocties that say they hate forest's being desacrated but all their items are wood!
3rd reason they are too tall and call short people bad names.
4th reason they dont adapt and thus they dont need to survive.
5th reason they make demands that destory industry.
and thus with this in mind.They ****.
(and BTW elf fortresses **** worse then elves.You cant build anything.

I just had a very disturbing thought: what if Elves are trees?

Think about it.  If their bones were really wood, and if the rotting of the rest of their flesh did something to make them more like "normal" bones, they wouldn't be able to use them.  So if that were the case, they would butcher and eat dead elves to make sure they could get to the bones while they were still wooden, and thus useable for bins and equipment.  And that would make them eat other sentients, because that's just what you do with the dead.

But there's more.  Near elf towns, the trees tend to have names.  Well, who would name trees?  Other trees would!  If the elves were all sprouted from seeds dropped by these "mommy trees", they would defend them and name them.

And what about the cutting limits?  Well, they would call you a butcher for killing elves every time you designate an area for deforestation, but they wouldn't necessarily care enough to attack you because they can just be replaced by somebody giving birth to an elf-sapling, and because you would technically be putting them out of the misery of having to live near dwarves!


My god.  It makes so much sense.

I...I'm scared :o

I'm a dwarf. I don't need reasons for why I do things.
