Make Statues like Engravings
« on: March 02, 2008, 02:51:00 pm »
It would be nice to have statues actually be of something, and when you looked at it you got something like

Here is a an exceptionally designed statue by Urist McDwarfFace. It is of a dwarf. The dwarf is shouting.

Hi!

Definitely something positive. Has 'my vote'.

Deathworks

P.S.: But then dwarves who dislike toads should get negative thoughts from the toad statues in the dining hall :) :) :) :)

If software was real world, then it'd be something equivalent of hitting a nail with a hammer and having a building collapse on the other side of town.

Don't worry people, sometimes -moments occur

All of the votes'th'd.

Also, why are all generic dwarves named Urist?  Is it an inside joke or something?

I don't think so, it's just one that most people remember and they've gotten used to using as a basic dwarf name.

Fifteenthed.

I think it would be awesome to know what the iron statue that I have in the middle of my showers looked like while a small waterfall fell on it from the ceiling above.

Funny thing is, I didn't look up this because I read this thread, I looked up this thread because I read that bloat.


Not that it isn't an awesome idea, of course.

I don't know either, but every time I hear the name I think of this story (from the old 2D version).

It's just a really awesome name. Im going to name my first born boy/girl Urist.


Then explain to my wife that it means "Loved one" or some other generic crap.

As you journey to the center of the world, feel free to read the death announcements of those dwarves that suffer your neglect.

One billion b-balls dribbling simultaneously throughout the galaxy. One trillion b-balls being slam dunked through a hoop throughout the cosmos. I can feel every single b-ball that has ever existed at my fingertips, I can feel their collective knowledge channeling through my veins. Every jumpshot, every rebound and three-pointer, every layup, dunk and free throw.

"Urist" translates into "dagger", actually.  "Bomrek", another popular name, means "whip" or "whipping".

Since I had a special farmer in the 2D version named "Kulet Kilrudastesh", I've grown fond of that name as well.  It means "Abbey Bronzecudgel".

"Urdim", although less common, translates into something halfway-presentable.  "Tower".


EDIT: That, by the way, is all from memory.  Eep.
