Should I do this cruel, heartless thing to the elves?
« on: December 13, 2009, 08:51:02 pm »

I was thinking of adding the [AQUATIC] token to the elves so as to induce a mass genocide, or at least force them to spend their lives fending off carp in the seas.

So, does the community approve of this cruel idea?

Make that also fireproof, and it's better.

No, actually.  Killing elves shouldn't be done in such a simple manner.  You don't just say "I will that all Elf-kind die, let my will be done!"  You have to do it personally... savor it, you know?  Personally order that the Lever of the Damned be pulled, hurling your elven prisoners directly into the flaming maw of Hell, that kinda thing.  Otherwise, what's the point?

Hatin elves be about defending Dwarves, and the Dwarven way by killing hippies. Theres no point if you don't do it through the dwarves.                                                                                             

It's like any other cheat, but your using it for some poorly-defined hatred of elves, not so you can win the game. Absolutism gone wrong.

Hmm, the map I'm on has HFS so now I have an idea for a Hippie Highway to Hell.

I was thinking the same thing....a retractable drawbridge over a shaft leading to HFS, perhaps?

Here's how you can do BOTH!

1. Add Aquatic tag post-worldgen.
2. Create adventurer.
3. Visit every elven town.

I would think it preferable to use the surface temperature tag (homeotherm? I'm forgetting...) to make the elves go thermonuclear like the cats...  That way they go knowing that they are the doom of their trees ;)

If only trees burned....

I vote for thermonuclear + aquatic. Drowning while on fire has got to be a more fitting way for elves to die.

I knew the answer before I read the topic.

Also, wouldn't they evaporate the water if they are on fire? Maybe this could be a method for hunting whales and mermaids? Instead of lignite block, burning elf!

I think it would be amusing if a scattered few of them managed to survive in murky pools. Kind of like pointy-eared koi.
