"Look, I know Urist personally. Great guy, terrific, terrific. Absolutely terrific mayor! But here's the thing, this guy is totally weak. Completely weak in fact. He makes this mountainhome look like a joke to everybody. Take a look at my record. I built a YUGE pump stack. Not only was it yuge, it was a beautiful thing too. I still get compliments to this day. People everywhere are always telling me, "Geshud, that pump stack you built is the most gorgeous pump stack, I've ever seen".
You want to know why it was such a success? Because I know how to cut deals. I know how to get dwarves together. Everyone told me it couldn't be done. But as I've been saying, and wrote a whole chapter on in "The Art of the Fortress" you have to know how to use leverage. You need to know your leverage, and just be ruthless in making these deals.
So people, I want you to join me! We're going to build a yuge wall to keep the elves out. In fact, we're gonna make the humans pay for it!
