He successfully trolled you to the max.

Lock him in a room with statues in his honor. And let him starve.

My captain of the guard has the title "The Helmed Band of Cradles".  That's nothing unusual in itself.  How he got it was by killing five dwarves in the name of !!Justice!!  And they're ALL he's killed.  No goblins, no crundles, no badgers.  Just these five dwarves who probably committed minor infractions.

Then he made grudge wit about 20 other dwarfs (still don't know why - perhaps they were stealing his chair).

I built my pyramid, Sungate, tile-by-tile very soon after 3d came out. About a week after I finally finished it (months and months of labor), Toady released a new version where you could mass-designate constructions. I could probably re-make that pyramid in a few days now.

Knowing only now that you could do the above. Now...how does one do that?  :-\

The keys u,m,k and h add tiles to your designations for walls and floors and whatnot.

I still wouldn't call that 'mass designation', as there's a maximum of tiles you can cover that way. But it's surely an improvement.

Going from being able to designate 1 tile at a time to being able to designate 100 or so in one shot, after building a gigantic pyramid 1 tile at a time for months of my life, yeah, I'd call it mass-designation. But if you want to be picky about semantics, you can say "able to designate multiple tiles in one shot," though it doesn't exactly have the same ring to it.

"able to designate multiple tiles in one shot,"

Isn't that actually the definition of mass designation?  :-\ Did I miss something? (No, seriously.)

Maybe I should do that as well, yeah.


Also, Zefon somethingsomething the Bone Carver got badgered into a small muddy pool and drowned a few seconds before a Dwarf opened the pool. Her body was destroyed by the flow which is really odd because it was six or seven tiles of 7/7 water at most. Oh well, I'll slab her anyway.

Her body isnt destroyed, just hidden. You'll still find her and all her clothing and equipment in the stockpile menus, you can unforbid them, and your Dwarves will haul them away. Happened to me too with a warrior in all-steel, took me a while to figure it out!  ;)
