Is this Sadistic or just Dwarvenly?
« on: September 25, 2011, 04:47:39 pm »

One of my masons walled himself into the magma cistern, since he has no friends, I'm going to pump small bits of magma in a and watch his flesh slowly burn into the magma that will later be used to forge metals.
EDIT: The pump operator brought her baby to come watch.

Neither, it's normal.

This is Dwarf Fortress. Where torture, enslavement, and murder are not only tolerable hobbies, but considered dwarfdatory.

Is he a good mason? That's the deciding factor. If he isn't, it's dwarfy, just get a hauler to take over his old job. If he is, it's masochistic - you're only hurting your fort, after all.

He actually had no masonry skills, he was an idler I made a mason to fix a leak that sprung in my magma cistern.

Perfectly justified by dwarven stupidity then.

I think the badgers would probably be dead by the time they went through a screw pump. Either that or the pump operator would run away because "OH SHIT THERE ARE BADGERS NEARBY!"

Sorry, just had to finally stop lurking around here and just sig this right away.

That said, I believe a mason with no mason skills just engraved his own death penalty...

Welcome to the land of "fun" my friend.

So here I am, logging into the Bay12 Forums.  I'm not sure whether to feel happy about this, or sullenly admit the loss of what little remained of my soul after all of this Fun.  So much Fun.  So, so much Fun.  <shudders>
First things first.  You're all soulless husks of what might have once been decent human beings, drafted into a sort of moral apartheid from your better natures in the pursuit of things made out of cute animals.  I love it.

Leprechauns actually. That "magically delicious taste" prefstring soon lead to their total extinction.
Congratulations, you killed the only things considered dominant and have heralded the end of civilization in your world as you know it.

And there is no cure for Fun.

No, Necro910, not even Magma.

Of course magma isn't a cure for fun!  It's a primary source of fun!

Anyway, friendless idiot locked himself in a magma cistern?  Slowly searing him to death with globs of magma is one of only two dwarvenly ways of handling the situation.  The other is SWIFTLY burning him to death with LOTS of magma
