LOL philosopher
« on: January 24, 2010, 11:29:16 am »
My philosopher has just arrived.  On checking his personality, it appears that he "dislikes intelectual discussions".

Engraved on the floor is a well-designed image of a kobold and a carp.  The kobold is making a plaintive gesture.  The carp is laughing.

Maybe dwarven philosophers are only concerned with new uses of magma?

Well, he could also be stoned drunk all the time, isn't it? And just laying in the corner, with vomit, being the town drunk and shit. Right?  ???
Naybe he is not a philospher at all, per se?

He does philosophy, he just dislikes discussing. Everyone just disagrees with him and misunderstands him.

Well, sir, I have to disagree. He pretty much liked my dwarves a couple of forts before.

Oh no.  That's not a philosopher, that's Reg Limbbash, the Dwarven pundit who puts forth anti-commondwarf ideas and refuses to accept anyone's counter-arguments as being valid!  He's really popular with the nobles and their guards, for some reason.  They even gave him his own statue garden in the busiest section of the fortress to give his speeches in every afternoon just before dinner.  Really pisses the workers off, but the nobles love it.

Urist never wanted to be a philosopher. His true calling in life was to be a soapmaker, but society and family pressured him into getting an education and ascending to the ranks of "greatness."

Dwarven philosphy is probably along the lines of "less talking, more drinking".

That would be as deadly to the wielder as to anyone else!  You'd sever your own arm at the first swing!  It's perfect!

Of course he doesn't like intellectual discussions, he only talks to the stupid dwarves so he won't be proven wrong!

You all do know that we everytime we gen a world in DF, a new universe is created somewhere, and everytime we delete a save we kill a whole world?
Aye, we are Armok, god of blood, evil, villager gutting, fortress building, legend making and elf thongs.
