Dwarven Hippocratic Oath
« on: May 03, 2010, 10:38:05 pm »

So considering all the new healthcare stuff, it seems like we need something akin to a dwarven medical oath. It's going to be a challenge, considering that it must allow the militiaman that beats dwarves half to death to, upon deactivation, fix him back up again.

This is my challenge to you, fellow forumites. Strike the earth, ere the Fun... well, you know.

I will give my fellow dwarves the most expensive stitches possible, to offset the lost of whatever made them need sewing up. Adamantine threads will be used if they are available

-I will not care if the patients wounds heal before I arrive. They will be stitched anyways.

You do not understand the ways of Toady One. He is not a business, he's just a guy trying to make a fun game. He's invited people to come along and experience the journey with him (and help him test it out as he goes along). At the end of the day, I don't think his main goal is to sell Dwarf Fortress, its just to create the best game possible.
