Dwarven Laws
« on: May 08, 2011, 04:47:50 pm »
While the Hammerer is currently missing, at least in the newest version I have, I'm sure we all have memories of him.

I myself have always wondered what exactly the laws were for these beatings, so in this thread let us list the crimes and amount of blows to the face they warrant, or what crimes should warrant how many beatings to the face.

Failing a production order: 2 hammerings
Being an elf: 4 hammerings!

Girlinhat: The biggest issue seems to be size.  A 1x1 room would allow for maximum child desecration.

It's a certain number of "strokes," which can cause dwarves to die. Unless you equipped the hammerer with a cotton candy warhammer, of course.

[GreatWyrmGold] gets a little crown. May it forever be his mark of Cain; let no one argue pointless subjects with him lest they receive the same.

I understand that each peasant is on ly supposed to get a number of strokes for their crime, but none the less, the monster usually seems to aim for the head, insuring the first strike is lethal... then follows it up by up to 2 more.

Pretty sure being a noble is the exact opposite of a crime.  It's like, anti crime, where you're excused from crime because you're in a perpetual state of not being guilty of any crime.

Selling a toy furnace, 100 hammerings!

No no anti-crimes are things like whitemailing and breaking and tastefully redecorating.

Unless the accused was getting a drink.  No dwarf should get hammered because of drinking.

You need to make said elf leather into the most amazing work of art.  Embed it with every kind of gem you have, stud it with metals, and sew images into it.  Erect a shrine outside your fort with that in the center.  Let the elves know that you view their very skin as naught more but a medium for your dwarves to work on.

True, sobriety is the greatest enemy of dwarven order and !!JUSTICE!!.

It is every citizen's civic duty to maintain at least a .08 blood alcohol content. Though those with such low numbers should be scorned as slackers.

Hm, have you considered murder?  It's either that or letting it go.
