Be serious or funny gaiz, your choice.


So, try to follow the form of

urist mcfirstposter:
How can dwarves, mining out a 1z level tall, surface level thing, cause a cave-in by carving upwards ramps?

urist mcsecondposter:
Dwarf Phsyics.
Why do dwarves run from hoary mammots?

urust mcthirdposter:
Because of the [something] tag in the raws.
or
Because they know that you will give them more goblinite socks if they cancel building the walls.

:D

Go for it?

Thanks for the suggestion, but Number4 is correct: [...] it would be easier and more predictable to just be a racist.

Creatures are incapable of looking upwards, of course.  That's why hatches are invulnerable from underneath and you don't know what the ceiling is when you mine into unexplored spaces.  Archers fire and dwarves run away from creatures above them because they sense them using a method similar to a shark's Lorenzo Organ.

The sky isn't blank, there's the face of a giant scowling sociopath squinting at some ASCII characters and drinking...

Exactly. Ethics in DF are very realistic - trivial and pointlessly selectively ex/inclusive.

If adamantine is perfectly rigid, as shown by having 0 strain at fracture in the raw files, then the speed of sound in the metal approaches the speed of light. Adamantine musical instruments would produce ultrasonic vibrations, and cut off the fingers of the musician.

Because some random flowing water has swept them offmap.

How is it possible that dwarven syrup has 5 times the nutritional value of dwarven sugar?

Because if you can't hit 'em in the head while they're moving, you do so AFTER you've chopped off their limbs or broken their bones!

Why is it, when you tell them to deconstruct a 1-tile wide path over a river, that they deconstruct the ends first while all their friends and the entire fort's worth of children are still on the path, sending them all to their watery graves and puncturing a hole in three levels of your fort that ends up flooding everything?

Because the ensuing waterfall is really nice to look at.

Why is it that the dwarfs keep eating plump helmets even though there aren't enough to make enough booze for everyone, let alone have some left over?

Because Dwarves feel the need to cry about stuff that they brought upon themselves!


Why is it that the dwarves will end up slaughtering eachother and vast hoards of goblins, yet run away from badgers?

Because dwarves don't want to sully their reputation killing lowly creatures.

Why is it that dwarves continually pick up equipment, and then put it back into the box?

Because as it turns out, that equipment was actually assigned to somebody else, who may or may not still be in the squad, in the military, or even alive.

Why are my dwarves incapable of correctly using soap and water to wash themselves?
