Only in dwarf fortress (SPOILERS)
« on: December 11, 2011, 04:48:56 pm »

I set up a huge hall full of upright spikes to kill the clowns as they entered my fortress, and it was working very well.  Suddenly, an announcement - a ghost has possessed a random mechanic! Eh, whatever, I think, carefully managing the war on the clowns.  I start worrying when clowns start slipping through the corridor of death, and I notice that the spikes aren't moving! Checking back to the lever controlling them, I discover that the possessed mechanic has disassembled the control lever and has begun hurling its mechanisms at passerby. Sigh.

Sometimes I almost believe that this game has conscience.

A malign conscience that believes suffering is the ultimate expression of good, bu yes, a conscience.

OK, I have to reload the save.
There was a bit of a problem regarding flashfreezing, a ballistae, and a barrel of dwarven ale. Gonna fix it up.

"Possessed by a malevolent ghost" isn't reason enough for you?

My thoughts were along those lines as well.  Really, of all the things in the entire fortress to destroy, he just happens to blow up the one construction absolutely necessary for the survival of the entire fortress?

Toady's Law. In every fort, there is either by accident or design one thing which can happen — shouldn't ever happen, but can happen — which will lead to calamity and screaming. That thing will happen at the worst possible moment. Doors and butterflies, and all that.

If DF is a troll why are so few of the forum-goers trolls?

To troll well, you need to know something about what you're trolling people about. the Difficulty and the mental state of most of our forum-goers keeps them at bay.
