So, put stockpiles on buildings.

So you think.
You're half-dragon. Kobolds were literally made from dragon blood.

I was literally made from a dragon, via more conventianal means :P
You're still only half-draconic.

Ready a cannon thing to fire cereal!
Grow a sharp spur for ramming, and ram the person.
Otherwise grow long, stiff and moderately wide pieces of cardboard onto your legs so you can deliver cardboard cuts with your legs.
WHY NOT BOTH
Because that's three things.
WHY NOT ALL THREE?

Apologize to Corai.
Create a device which advertises to every PC and a bunch of other people whatever I want to. Like a car radio ad, but shorter and less avoidable.
Develop an advertisement that lets people know that I'll build stuff for them for a decent price. Don't broadcast it yet.

GWL will claim the pick!
Somehow!
He'll demand that we get it!

It's our duty to examine it!

Was my action missed (again) on accident?
If so, how can I make future actions more obvious?
If not, what do I need to do to rejoin?

Is that even physically possible?

All those lasers and battle armor suggests otherwise...
Is the alcohol for drinking or fuel?

Respawn.
Rebuild Ship.
Recast haste.
Fire Corai.

Missed on purpose or on accident?

In the second case, why not? Dwarves are, physiologically short humans who get knurd.
Knurd? Wut?
Discworld thing. Hint: Spell it backwards.
Ah, I see I see.
Now invert that and consider how dwarves react to a lack of alcohol.

DF Suggestions / Re: The ancient art of Golem making.
« on: November 16, 2012, 10:15:37 pm »
I'd personally prefer to see golems tied into the (as far as I've seen around here) most commonly suggested form of dwarven magic, rune magic. Basically if you're lucky enough to end up with a rune mage (or whatever they'd be called) in your fortress they could inscribe a statue with runes of power bringing it to life, with appropriate balancing of costs, labor restrictions etc.
Which ties in with the original idea of golems being controlled by words written on them. They would have the word "emet" written on them meaning truth, but if you rubbed out one letter it became met, meaning death. That would kill a golem.
That should be one possible kind of golem, but not the only one.
Out of curiosity, what happens if you rub out the wrong letter?

Agreed, I see and agreed, understandable, sure, agreed if they have about the same level of work required and downsides, agreed, and it's okay.

On the subject of crazy Soviet inventions, have you heard of the Anotov An-225?

DF Suggestions / Re: Should Dwarves Have Sexual Orientations?
« on: November 16, 2012, 10:06:25 pm »
Well, ignoring the random rhetoric...

Homosexuals weren't terribly common in the middle ages. Blame modern civil rights movements, blame omnipresent religion, blame what you like, "out-of-the-closet" homosexuals are more common nowadays than in the time DF strives to emulate.

Dwarven love seems to be a practical affair. They sleep in the same bed, have children, and feel sad when the other dies. Homosexuals don't seem to be something that would happen, it's just a different type of friendship which the church probably frowns on.
