The elves are so creepy
« on: August 01, 2010, 12:45:41 am »

I just started my first new game in 31.12, and the elves brought me a barrel full of donkey blood  :o

Well, I don't have to worry about them...in my world the dwarves apparently exterminated the elves a long, long time ago.  My engravers are fond of carving images of dwarves shooting elves and lopping off their ears during battles that happened 5,000 years ago.

Do you always look at it in ASCII?

You get used to it, I don't even see the ASCII.  All I see is blacksmith, miner, goblin.

That's not normal, their ethics should not allow them to use or bring you animal-based products, including blood, meat, milk, bone... anything but wooden items, plants, and creatures in cages.

Why does my adventurer keep crying?
Greiger's is actually correct...  sadly enough.  The emotional circumstance processor is still turned on, with a randomly rolled up personality, but they can't express themselves or take control...  they can only cry.

Can you imagine how long it would take to get that much? You'd have to catch them first, then some how drain the of ichor.

And quickly, because I think that stuff would go bad pretty fast... It's like the elves kill all the butterflies in the whole world at the same time and then deliver you the barrel a day later.

Like salty coins dammit! :P But yeah I think your explanation makes more sense, can you work them into meals already? Couple of versions ago they were pretty worthless just filling up your food-stores :(

I've never seen the Elves do this.  Humans and Dwarves yes, Elves no.

And they're only bled for a few litres at a time, so no dead donkeys to cry about. BUY THE DAMN BLOOD ALREADY!

Not a troll, not some basement-dwelling neckbeard, but indeed a hateful, rude little person. On the internet.
I'm actually quite nice IRL, but you people have to pay the price for that.

Now stop being distracted by the rudeness, quit your accusations of trollery, and start arguing like real men!

You guys are silly. You just need to kill one single butterfly, and then have dozens of kittens trample its body and spread its ichor all over the area.

It is quite obvious that the humans, elves and dwarves that bring barrels of blood to your fortress are just doing what any sane people would do: They are cleaning all the contaminant from their settlements, and trying to sell the trash to the nearest fools.

I'll start buying blood when I can designate a pond region to be filled with blood. Then I can pump it out! ALL OF IT!


... Scratch that, give me a way to harvest blood from prisoners
