Weird things from the "Thoughts and Preferences" screen
« on: April 19, 2010, 04:55:05 am »

What has been your weirdest thing on the "Thoughts and Preferences" screen?

I'll start with mine:

So, i was starting a fort, examining my original seven dorfs, when i saw this, on my dorfen doctor's info page:

"He is frequently depressed"

Great, i thought, i have an emo doctor now. I scroll through the rest of his text and see this:
"He is often cheerful"

My doctor appears to be bipolar or something. What should i do?

Emo, he enjoys being depressed.

Yay, Bipolar doctor!

"Alright, let's have a jolly look at that blood-gushing wound, now shall we? Oh boy, oh boy, that's pretty bad indeed. Best treatment would be an immideate pressure bandage.... though... what for... does it all really matter? We are born to die... to suffer... to delve in our own pain and anguish until we are released by the cold grip of death.... I think I need a drink..."

"Doctor! Where are you going? ....hello? Are you fetching bandages? ...I.. I'm still bleeding... yep.... getting a bit dizzy here... uhm, can... can someone get me some cloth or something? ...Hello? Help!"

It's better than what I have seen with my miner.

"Nurse, give me a number ten scalpel, please."
"Number ten scalpel."
"Is this going to take long? I'm a bit thirsty, here."
"Sir, I need you to lie still for a moment. I'm almost finished with your left shoulder."
"That's it, I've had it. I'm going for a drink."
"Sir, you need to come back!"
