Dwarven Happiness Cannon
« on: December 29, 2011, 10:17:22 am »

Step One: Forge a Cotton Candy sock.

Step Two: Wait for someone to clai- Oh, that was fast.

Step Three: Assign Urist McStickyFingers to the Military.

Step Four: Station Urist McStickyFingers at the end of a dead-end hallway.

Step Five: When Urist McStickyFingers arrives at his station, he will activate a pressure plate, closing a floodgate, locking him in a room.

Step Six: The room fills with !!Fun!!

Step Seven: Eventually the room re-opens, empty of everything except for a fun sock.

Step Eight: Wait.

Step Nine: Actually, no, that's it.

---

You see, it's Dwarven, because it involves mass murder, lava, and socks.
And then it makes me extremely happy.
And the cannon? Because F*** you, that's why.

Sorry for the Joke post. Sorry if that last line offends you. I really can't handle my Sleep Deprivation anymore. Maybe I made someone smile, though. :D

Why do your dwarves look like something from Grim Fandango?

But your contraption would cancel itself out, sir.
I think happyness he feels would cease spreading throughout your fortress as soon as his friends and relatives noticed his bloating, rotted corpse.

Why do your dwarves look like something from Grim Fandango?
Mostly because I wanted it to be Simple, but also a bit angular. When I do kindofserious-humor stuff like this, I tend to like Blank, but Expressive Faces. Sometimes the best way to do that is with shaped blotches.

Also, Ive been being a bit drawtastic today, so My hand is rather sore. It was just easier to be slightly minimalistic :)

YOU DONT GET IT! THE CORPSE IS IRRELEVANT!
The Happiness, is when the NEXT Dwarf finds the Sock! THINK! :D

There is one problem -

If you keep it on, then you kill all the dorfs in your fortress and you can't keep it going.

You should be able to automate it. But can you weaponise it?

Replace Sock with kitten.
Replace dwarf with whatever you need to burn.
Possibly Gobbos.
For sure elves.

This is a side-effect of dwarven animal training (hit animal with hammer until it forgets that it hates you, then lovingly cuddle it).

I'm not your average Bay12er. I care about my drunken midgets.

Door leading in to Hallway.
Forbid it when You want to take a break from the mass Slaughter.
The Floodgate will need to be released anyway, and the !!FUN!! removed.
It could all be but onto one Reset Lever.

Optionally, Sock AND Kitten. *Gasps*

Heres how I see that. You know how You can seal off one Entrance, and so another one becomes the new Go-To Route? Do that. Put the Kitten and the Sock in that otherwise sealed (Save a Food/Water Chute for the kitty) Corridor. Then, You can redirect Merchants or Invaders to that path, seal them in with the Kitty and Sock, then Viola!

It's a Civ exploit - the Sock O' Doom.

Kinda looks like the Blow up dolls in Saints Row 3. Couldn't find an image.

I was thinking of a pressurized water tank next to a meeting/party area, next to a ledge, with a floodgate to hose dwarves off the ledge...
