I'm trying to compile a full list of the strange inconsistencies in dwarvish pyschology for a wiki article. Want to help? Just list stuff you've noticed.

-Ignore fire
-Mothers use babies as shields
-Soldiers seem to train better when all labors turned off and then turned inactive.

[Aspgren]

-Parents are too happy that they just became parents to care that their baby drowned in the well.

[Creamcorn]

When ever they're on fire, they never try to put themselves out.

[Funtimes]

They love socks too much.
Way too much.

[Shogger]

Sometimes they'd rather take a break than dig for their lives when a magma flow comes around.

[thijser]

minner dwarfes who have been trapped sometimes refuse to dig themselfs out and rather hunt for vermine...

[MonkeyHead]

Dwarves will run away from marmots in panic when you really want them to go pick up those logs, but will ignore goblin swordmasters as they really have to go get those logs.

[Aspgren]

When they build walls they never EVER understand which side they're supposed to stand on.

They happily butcher fire imps and put the fiery meat and fat in the same stockpile where the booze is. I lost a fortress this way.


The final answer to all questions of dwarvish psychopathology:

perfectly willing to sleep in precarious places, i.e on a ledge overhanging a volcano, or on an excavated frozen river bed in the last days of winter that will thaw in the spring

Who cares that I'm the only one left? that food was AWESOME.

Maybe this can be fixed by altering the raws so tiny marmots and rabbits don't have an attack (but they might still "push" you to attack like blobs?)
Or perhaps by setting marmots' viewrange to 2 squares, or adding [BENIGN] to them, I dunno.

Or making them horrifically dangerous, so that the behaviour is justified?

Moar Dwarfly, make it happen.

Yeah... this drives me freaking crazy.
