I'm so happy a friend pointed me to this thread.  It has a certain...je ne sequoia. 

Sad to see people slipping off-topic, though; better to go with the phloem.

DF Bug Reports / Re: Kidnapping woes--children heard, but not seen

Well, now that the goblin's corpse has been hauled off to the bone pits, the invisible screaming child has relocated into my food stockpiles.  Dunno how he got there, or why, but...

Another odd thing--other dwarves are, in fact, treating him like he's caged.  At least, that's how it appears, since his profile reports that he's been brought food and water after complaining of hunger and thirst.

I wonder what will happen when he finally snaps?

DF Bug Reports / Kidnapping woes--children heard, but not seen
« on: August 25, 2006, 01:00:00 am »
In an effort to stop the yearly goblin raids on my shorter dwarves, I set up a host of traps near the entrance of my fortress.  Normally this either stops all the goblins, or one or two gets away with a kid.  This time, however...after receiving a message that one of the children had been kidnapped, I noticed that two of the goblins had tripped cage traps.  

I was a little surprised when the next message I saw in regard to the kidnapped child wasn't about his death, but him throwing a tantrum.  Checked his profile, and noted his complaints about confinement.  Centering the cursor on his position showed him to be in the same square as one of the caged goblins...but not in the terrarium along with the goblin.

I then endeavored to get the goblin out of the cage, hoping that its death would free the kid.  Setting the cage up as a piece of furniture and deselecting the goblin as an occupant didn't work; apparently the goblin was bright enough to realize coming out of his cage in a barracks full of armed dwarves wouldn't end well for him.  Next attempt involved trying to drown the cage; again, no success.  My final attempt actually got the goblin out of the cage; I reassigned it to a different one.  However, the path my dwarf chose to lead it along was rather unsafe for the goblin, who failed to slip by a stonefall trap.  

All this work was apparently for nothin', as the kid's still complaining about being confined...though I'm not sure I want him back, if he can't get away from a dead goblin thief.

The majority of the wildlife here consists of deer and foxes, neither of which are a patch on the single-minded viciousness of the caravan guards.  The worst thing I've seen on this map thus far is a grizzly bear, and the dwarven caravan guards dispatched that with relative ease.  Besides, there were none of the other signs of such an attack--no corpses, no blood, no named animals limping off with a sword still stuck in them.

Something I just noticed:  on the unit list, a mangrove wagon is listed among the deceased.

DF Bug Reports / The Incredible Disappearing Human Caravan!
« on: December 16, 2006, 09:53:00 am »
Brand new world, under the newest version.  Come summertime in the second year, I get a message that a human caravan has arrived, and I see the first cart rolling down my road.  While they approach, I scroll back into my fortress, scrambling to get goods dragged to the depot and, hopefully, a few more crafts done and carted over.  I then scrolled back over to the road...and poof.  Carts, traders, and mules are gone, and the trade depot says there's no merchants trading right now.  

Even weirder, lying in the middle of the road are what appears to be the contents of one of the carts; a pile of meat, leather and cloth bins, and mangrove logs.

DF General Discussion / Re: How to keep pets under control?

I tried assigning some of my strays to cages, which seemed to slow down the rather--well, if they consumed resources, I'd call it Malthusian--growth rate of the cats.  Also, dwarves do so love to be comforted by wonderful creatures in cages.
