Have an original thought!
« on: May 13, 2008, 07:30:00 pm »

Post your 'thought' ideas, such as "Urist was disgusted by a miasma lately." Can be positive or negative.

Urist enjoyed a warm sun ray. - Skylights should give this benefit

Urist has had a varied diet lately. - Lots of foods to choose from. Need more and more types as prosperity rises.

Urist has had to suffer with only one food lately. - A diet made up of plump helmets and beer is BORING.

Urist enjoyed some good cooking lately. - Ate a good cooked meal.

Urist has had no interesting recipies lately. - No cooking, should set in after year 1. As economy and prosperity rises, so does this need to have cooked food.

Urist has recently enjoyed some music. - I'm going to assume this will be added when dwarves can play their instruments.

Urist has enjoyed a bath recently. - Waterfalls, walking through a shallow water area.

Urist is filthy and miserable. - Covered with vomit, blood, ect. If we have this, showers should be added to the Wiki, in regards as to how to build them.

Urist was recognized for his achivements lately. - Statue made for him, engraving, or just dwarves enjoying his artifact.

Urist feels dejected because no one noticed his artifact - Opposite of above.

Urist has had a fight recently with [Dwarf Name], and won/lost. - Could be slightly good, or slightly bad.

Urist has been rejected/divorced lately. - Huge downwards bump for mood. Could trigger a tantrum, and make him rip off his former wives head. I'd lol.

Urist has eloped recently. - Possible upside to a divorce, one of the divorcees immediatly marries and 'runs away with' another dwarf. Probably should trigger childbirth pretty quickly.

I'm done for a bit. Let's hear yours!

I enjoy the 'three years ago' bit, since you're still gonna be hurting after a loved one is gone years later.

I think that thoughts should be dependant on dwarf personality as much as possible, so that one dwarf could find music enjoyable while another dwarf finds it disturbing - or one dwarf might enjoy watching captured goblins being disposed of in various entertaining ways while a sensitive dwarf would find it repulsive and barbaric.

Such goblin symphatizers will be summarily executed when found out, of course.

My stray dogs often chase fire imps back into the magma pipe and then continue fighting while burning and drowning in the lava. Truly their loyalty knows no bounds, but perhaps it should.

+ Urist is a part of [Group name], [human translation?], a group of [Whatever the group is]

I think that dwarves would form clubs. Freemasonry FTW. Also, miners, craftsdwarves, ect. And perhaps political groups or bands? This could get fun really quickly, especially if two groups form a grudge and get into a street fight.

Urist vonJeweler: Hey! You blasted craftdwarves took our *cut fire opal* and attached it to that -felsite septer-! We want it back!

Euist McCrafter: No way! The septer you speak of is Bunemdolush, "Soothedbears"! It's our fortresses greatest treasure! We shall defend it with our lives!

A brawl has begun between two guilds!

Urist vonJeweler has been struck down!

Beaty Paindealer, Hammerer cancels Drink: It's beating time!

What, no "D. feels crowded lately", "D. has resented the fact that he has to jostle with this crowd, this sickening riot recently" counterpart? Make it worth keeping anti-social hunters out of the marksdwarves.
"D. has missed/suspects his spouse lately"- occasionally married members of the original seven have completely incompatible jobs (ranger+mayor)and don't notice that they've not seen one another for years.
"D. has bed sores"-didn't check the inventory screen of someone laid up with a bolt in the arm; he spent an embarrassing number of years in his bed constantly in a content to ecstatic frame of mind.

I'd love to see the group dynamics, including mods and rocker style throwdowns included. I've spent too much time thinking who would win in a war between miners and masons. What would you do with multi-taskers though? Dual citizenship? And would the leader be selected by talent ("novice carpenter has been taken by a fey mood" "leader of the carpenter's guild has fallen into depression") or seniority?
