What sould I do about this mandate?
« on: May 07, 2009, 09:47:27 pm »
My Mayor has mandated steel items, but I have neither flux nor a forge. Remember: I DON'T want to kill her because she is a very easy to please for a semi-noble. Her interests:
Selenite, Steel, star ruby, blue shark leather, helms, thrones, large gems and cats.

Uhm... don't make it?
You're under no pressure to make it, nor is there any need to do so unless you have a Captain Of The Guard/Fortress Guard.

If she's demanding steel, which you don't have the means to produce, then she's not that easy to please.  ;)

I have both a captain and a guard, sadly (Needed something to do with all of those damn peasants)

Make your prisons opulent, and have buckets and water sources handy.  Will serve you well unless you get a tantrum spiral. 

I have a mayor who keeps asking me to make bismuth items.  I ended up importing bismuthnite so any time he asks for "bismuth items", I can smelt a bar or two.

Just ignore it and make sure your prison has chains adjacent to beds and booze. Unless you have a hammerer, then kiss your dwarf goodbye. ;D

You can probably buy an anvil and flux stone or steel bars from the mountainhome---or maybe some cheap steel crafts to melt down for steel bars. I think the bar itself counts as one steel item for a mandate.

Unless I get a human caravan this year, which I should, I'm going to miss the deadline

Is it possible to lock your hammerer in a room and just keep him fed and watered?

Andir and Roxorius "should" die.

Yes, actually, I am trying to get myself banned.  I wish Toady would quit working on this worthless piece of junk and go back to teaching math.

I don't have a hammerer, thankfully, and some other person was elected before the mandate due date could pass  ;D

Sure. 

You can also make sure there's a hallway a z-level above and dump beer barrels and *syrup roasts* on his head.

Yup. Maybe not the next one exactly, but you won't be waiting for too long.

From Mr. Welch's 1350 things he is not allowed to do in a RPG:
148. There is no Gnomish Deathgrip, and even if there was, it wouldn't involve tongs.
171. My character's dying words are not allowed to be "Hastur, Hastur, Hastur"
218. No matter my alignment, organizing halfling pit fights is a violation.
231. I am not allowed to do anything that would make a Sith Lord cry.
240. Any character with more than three skills specializing in chainsaw is vetoed.

Is there a way I can get "controlled" injuries for my hammerer (say, his legs and arms chopped off) so that the only hammerings he can give is staring at the dwarves making them feel guilty?

If I get him into level-1 magma puddle, can I burn his legs off?

Find his hammer and dump it. He won't pick up another one.
