Well, that would make you Unhappy...
« on: December 10, 2010, 10:04:41 pm »

So saw a new one today.  A dwarf was unhappy because he was 'forced to drink vomit.'
Didn't know that water was that hard to digest, being right next to them.
So, what has your dwarves in a tizzy?

He probably was vomitting when getting stunned then couldnt get it off and choked on his own vomit. Thanksfully he didnt die from it.

dwarves might prefer vomit to water because vomit has a higher alcohol content.

While adding magma to anything will make it dwarfy, adding the word "magma" to your post does not necessarily make it funny.

A dwarf in my fortress was complaining about many things, but one thing he was happy about was loosing an annoying acquaintance to tragedy lately.

Any intelligent fool can make things bigger and more complex... It takes a touch of genius --- and a lot of courage to move in the opposite direction.

I... I didn't know that could happen. That is so messed up.

Re: vomit, I have only seen that message once. It was right about the time my duke tantrummed.

I... I didn't know that could happen. That is so messed up.

After a particularly nasty siege there were some... residual effects.  Everybody was miserable, except for my expedition leader.  I thought this was unusual, so I checked his thoughts and I found the solution: Urist McLeader "was forced to talk to somebody annoying lately" just before he "lost an annoying acquaintance to tragedy recently."

Coincidentally, the expedition leader happened to be standing right over the body of the "annoyance" at the time...

I think they're getting smarter.  :o

We may have a new strategy here, make all your dwarves annoying and then no matter how many die, you dwarves will permanently happy! Or at least they won't start tantruming despite the masterwork adamantine statues.
