So much facepalm
« on: November 20, 2010, 12:03:14 pm »

I accidentally locked a kobold thief in my courtyard and now there are 32 terrified dwarfs huddling in a corner terrified of him.

I don't see anything wrong with that.

Just stick them in a temporary squad. 32 dwarves should be enough to take a flimsy kobold.

They should be enough to take him apart and put all his body parts including fingers and organs on display separately.

Embarked on a haunted volcano. I am currently terrorized by skeletal alligators.

You think that's facepalm? I wanted to get some sunlight into my fortress far below the ground. so i channel out this big thing, right? and i put grates on the top of it.

when i look at the finished 20-level hole in the ground i figure .. i dont need the grates. i can put them elsewhere, nothing is going to come down this hole.
 so i order it to be removed... and stare in complete disbelief when two dwarves come, stand on the grates AND YANK THEM OUT FROM UNDER EACHOTHERS FEET .. they fall down like choreographed by andrew lloyd webber. dying the exakt same fraction of the second.

 I can't help but think of them. standing there without the slightest idea how stupid this is .. and going "okay on the count of three"

It was easy to sort out of course. It was just the thought of a group of 32 dwarves being cornered by a kobold.

And anyway, there's a new facepalm on the block. It's the bonecarver who took two sapphires and a melanite for a strange mood.

I don't mean to alarm you, but it appears that your Dwarves are all in fact elephants.
