Also, I like that the danger rooms periodically kills someone!  How else can it weed out the weak and unworthy?

I was under the impression that the whole point of the danger room was to take the weak and unworthy and make them less weak and unworthy, so the voidspawn would then weed out the inferior. You don't get a hell of a lot of use out of minions when the standard training regimen outputs quadriplegics.

Unless you load the quadruplegics into catapults and fire them on the enemy.

Welcome to Murdermachines. Try the gecko sauce; it's delectable and delightful, a wonderful blend of savory and spicy that makes any dish delicious without being too overwhelming.

No no no. The purpose of danger rooms is actually to weed out the unlucky!

And now I have the urge to draw something but have no paper available. Thanks for that  :(

Excerpt from To The Void And Back: The Saga of Deathgate and Murdermachines

On the 28th of Galena, year 259, a kobold thief was spotted in Murdermachines.
Spoiler (click to show/hide)
It is believed that the thief only got through because the Void God was off getting a beer.
Spoiler (click to show/hide)
The kobold swiftly left the fortress after it was discovered, to what it believed was safety and freedom. It thought wrong. The militia was scrambling, although not nearly quickly enough, but fortress overseer Raptor had one card left up his sleeve. squidmann was out cutting wood near the escape route of the kobold. He was swiftly conscripted and ordered to attack.
Spoiler (click to show/hide)
He proceeded to drop his axe and charge the kobold, eventually punching the kobold in the head so hard that he tore apart its brain.
Spoiler (click to show/hide)

OOC: Squidmann is a badass versus kobolds in hand-to-hand combat. I thought he would use his axe, but I guess he wanted to end his life personally.

Amusingly, he's a Marksdwarf, which gives me the mental image of him conducting medical malpractice an appendectomy from fifty paces with a crossbow.
On bay12, a poll option of basically 'nuke the world' named 'Apocalypse Hitler' is like asking an alcoholic if they want some whiskey.

I just saw a guy with two broken legs push a minecart with a corpse in it. Yeah.

Magnificant. We've died to them, Squidmann kills them. Don't let him die to some troglodytes.

Yes. Military is usually a good bet, thus I say it will be a potash maker.

(Do we have one?)
