Also, Toady has discussed this several times, and as you probably haven't heard, he prefers to keep the more intimate parts of dwarven life out of the code restricting them only to the imaginations of realists like yourself.

AFAIK, he never closed the door either way. Link?

Anyway, people, you play a game that features pus, vomit and rotting corpses on a regular basis. Grossness is absolutely no argument.

Grossness is an argument - no matter how much pus, blood and vomit we get everywhere, we still try to keep our fortress at sub-lethal levels of miasma :/

[King DZA]

Yeah, just because my DeathMaze is filled with decaying goblin corpses, doesn't mean I dont at least try to keep the place tidy. If I could convince the little green buggers to stop coming over and getting themselves killed all the time, it would be a completely different story.

[knutor]

Yeah

Do not mistake this for a Corn Dog.  The Punk Stick emits a pungent cloud of effervescent bug repellent when lit.

Grossness is never an argument. Here, grossness doesn't matter. What matters is that if the said 'gross' thing can be weaponized.

Excretion and intercourse can be weaponized.

A. Poisoning enemy water supply, or killing carp
B. Seducing elven diplomats for secrets

Thus, my argument is, can it be WEAPONIZED?

Successful argument against implementing the above :d

Those who forget history are bound to repeat it.

English longbow men were trained to poop in front of their position and then proceed to dip their arrowheads into their own turd piles, before battle.  That's how the Irish got red hair, from all the English poo in their bloodlines.  No, hehe.  I heard they got red hair from eating too many potatoes during the famine years or something like that.  *shrug*  I'm bound to get a new hair color now, because I forgot how Irish got their red hair. 

OH NOES!

Knutor

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Poisoning enemy water/food supplies make no sense as enemies don't eat.

[IamanElfCollaborator]

Remember, this is the SUGGESTIONS forum.

What are the odds of someone suggesting that enemies eat?
What are the odds of Toady actually putting it in as a feature?

[peskyninja]

Our default enemies (Goblins and elves) are immortal and don't need to eat. This poo system are you suggesting is a abstract or more realistic system?

Such as the repetition of this thread every few months to a year, almost verbatim.

and thus history is truly the most dorfy thing in history

For whatever reason he decided to add sewers but not sewage.

Kobolds, zombies, beasties and bandits.

I would totally dig a massive tunnel system to make room for those under my city.  Totally.

[Evil One]

While I'm not entirely against dwarves (and animals) excreting from time to time (the potentials for crop fertilizer seemingly ignored by all), it would add yet another calculation for the game, and subsequently slow the game down (especially if it's treated as a liquid).

You need to thing outside the box man, feel the groove...
Your fortress is the sewage system!
