Disturbing engraving ahoy!
« on: January 24, 2010, 02:28:17 am »

I looked half-heartedly for a thread of this kind of theme, couldn't see anything recent, didn't want to necro, so HERE WE GO.

So, everyone who's ever played DF and their grandmother have all seen their fair share of simple engravings showing "the dwarf is surrounded by the dwarves". This one, however, takes some sort of prize.

I'll probably stick this on the wiki too, if I'm not beaten to the punch (which is likely, considering my laziness).

-edit-

Oh, great. You probably can't see the entire image. That's OK, it doesn't say anything important on the right side.

We can see it fine, just gotta scroll a little.
Also, this doesn't surprise me. But then again, I'm getting a bit jaded nowadays.

Well that went better than expected.  He went nuts and punched a rabbit to death, then the dogs and the whole dining hall ripped him to shreds.

Is engravings of your best champions being slayed by a carp disturbing?

Your message filled me with gut-wrenching, butt-clenching fear... but that was somewhat more g-rated than what I was expecting.

It's "The Contested Pregency" You can either have it be the Urist Springer show, or you can have elf babies. I went with elf babies.

I don't get it.
Your dwarves randomly named the engraving "The Contested Pregnancy" and it's about a dwarf rising to a leadership role, so the other dwarves are surrounding him (to congratulate him).

And thus, you have taken all the fun out of this thread. :p

I had a tundra hermit fort once. There was this one civ-symbol that he kept calling "The Warm Hugs". I thought it was kinda sad.

Living underground can be stressful. Big thing, they had stress, they needed to get off, a gang bang here and then, what harm would it do? And the fortress accountant likes to reminisce of good times to avoid melancholy from endless number-crunching. Anything dwarven should not be foreign to you, folks.

I've never played DF and my grandmother.  Is that even possible at the same time?

It would be extremely difficult, but it should be possible.
