Maybe you could build him a giant tomb and just leave him in there. I mean, don't even seal it. Just dump him in a bed where the coffin would normally be. He isn't going anywhere.

THIS, unless you really care if some feeding/watering labour goes to waste

dwarf fortress is a sandbox game, but that doesnt mean it doesnt have philosophy to it. the moment you start playing dwarf fortress, just looking at the controls, you know that industry is expected of you. there is no option to have your dwarves fly kites or practice yoga. a very definite sense of materialism can be felt simply through the happiness of dwarves with golden furniture. in dwarf fortress, a specific government model is offered, unfortunate accidents aside. our control of dwarves but of no other creatures can create in us the feeling of dwarven superiority. dwarf fortress abounds with philosophical implications. when you play dwarf fortress, you are creating thought processes based on the manifestation of toady's thought processes. and that is the basics of art, culture, and the assimilation of philosophy.

actually, another dwarf just has the same problem. anyone know why this happens?

now my cmd is standing with a palm bucket peering into the depths of a well, contemplating applying a cast, but not actually doing it. D:<

nah, its actual pond duty, because i am on a freezing map i am creating ice above ground by dumping buckets of water

i just had a mother in a strange mood requiring non existent wood, so i locked her in with the baby, and she went berzerk and attacked it.

actually, my chief medical dwarf went out of the hospital to grab thread from a cloth stockpile. but now he is back to filling ponds. i dont know why he wont finish the job, the next item on the list is more sutures, youd think he could figure out how to do the same thing a second time if he could do it at all

oh yeah, my artifact toy mini-forge was also covered in spikes. hooray for dwarven toys
