Title: The Holy Grail
Post by: doublestrafe on October 27, 2012, 03:25:43 pm
I never thought I'd see the day.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

She's the most socially skilled dwarf in my fortress. She never loses mayoral elections. She has made one demand, for a copper weapon rack in her office. And she never, ever gives orders.

I feel like I just won Dwarf Fortress.

I'm not going to lie, I'm most entertained by the fact that she likes ducks. For their quacks.

I can't help but notice her stature.

This is just the most adorable Dwarf I've ever seen.

I had one way better. He was also the former head of a temple (whatever those random names are), but it turned out to be a vampire...

I just paid my last respect to my queen who just died of old age. She was pretty soft and adorable as well. Never issued a mandate, and did her job well at the smelter.

Her upper body is gone and she died of old age?
Your fortress was ruled by a pair of legs?

If you look at any dead creature it'll say that. Just one of DF's many unique features.

Dwarfs never die of old age, they just snap in half once they get too top heavy.

It's because their beards way more and more as they get older. :P

I have given her the name "Mrs. Pudgykins."

I do not trust this Mrs. "Pudgykins".

She destests hamsters. Who could detest a hamster?!

I hamstersat for a friend (well, ferret-and-hamstersat) a couple of years ago. The ferrets were fine, but the hamster bit straight through my left middle finger. I got away before it could shake me around by the left middle finger and rip it away to remain in the hamster's grip, but I detested that hamster. That hamster became an enemy of Doublestrafe.

I once had a dwarf in my starting 7 who liked steel and battleaxes, had a deep mistrust for his fellow dwarf, a reverence for authority, and muttered under his breath during lulls in the conversation. Didn't skip a beat making that guy my duke, and even vamp'd him so he could eat the king and live for eternity. He kept losing elections for mayor, so I had everyone with significant social skills executed, again via vampduke.

I think the only consequence is carvings of dwarves rejecting them. Which always make me snicker, so that's a positive.

The past 30 years, 3 dwarves have been passing on the mayor's job to each other every once in a while. They demand boxes and bags, thrones and bolts respectively, so they're allright. The both have their normal worker's bedroom, and the mayor's quarters swaps ownership when a new mayor is chosen. I like to see some dynamics in dwarven politics, and this fort gives me that :D
