[Dwarf Kitty]

Urist dies of embarrasment:  Beard spontaneously falls out!
Urist perishes:  Alcohol allergy.
Urist has ascended into Armok's beard!
 
 
And, in honor of the source of Meph's name:
 
Urist expires:  Deal with the Carp God expired.
The Carp God has claimed another soul!
 
 
I suggest adding a population check.  More than one random death when the fort is at least 100+, none if population is down under 10 or something.  "The God of Random Death has struck hard this year!"  "The God of Random Death has mercifully decided to spare your underpopulated fort."
 
Most players won't mind a few random deaths when forts are overflowing, but every dorf is vital when rebuilding after a seige.

Urist drinks a flaming shot.
Urist cancels drink: alcohol soaked beard on fire.
Urist has burned to death.

On a sidenote, it would be funny if urist actually catched fire so they could do what they usually do when on fire, find the booze stockpile or the dining hall. Would bring a whole new element: fire safety, which can be achieved for example with rock doors and the occasional mist generator or 3/7 water level washing trenches.

This could actually be classified a major catastrophy if proper precautions are not taken which would be extremely fun.

Or he could cause a brushfire on the surface and firestorm the whole map. XD

Urist cancels Axe Catching Game: Didn't catch
Urist has been struck down

[Meph]

Dwarf Kitty, It kind of already does it. If you have 10 dwarves, you have 0,05 deaths in 1 year. Thats... ehm... a very rare occurence? ^^

And I love you guys, the ideas are awesome. But please keep in mind that is has to be a single line. I can add a second line which is either always the same, or random as well, but I cant make several lines that are in relation to each other.

Example for Random Line + Static Line: POSSIBLE
Dwarf cancels life: Interrupted by heart attack.
"The God of Random Death has struck hard this year!"

Example for Random Line + Second related Line: IMPOSSIBLE
Urist drinks a flaming shot.
Urist cancels drink: alcohol soaked beard on fire.
Urist has burned to death.

Two random lines wouldnt make any sense, because the topics wouldnt fit.

Example for Random Line + Randm Line: POSSIBLE, BUT POINTLESS
Urist cancels drink: alcohol soaked beard on fire.
Urist drowns.

[ElenaRoan]

I'm torn with this, it sounds pretty cool and at the same time I actually care about the little bearded idiots and try to keep them alive *lol*

As for a line...

"urist dies in childbirth"

[Parhelion]

Urist died of shock: learned the meaning of life.

Urist has committed suicide: heard a rumor about a dry fortress mandate.

Urist died of excitement: discovered how to turn water into wine.

Urist drowned: attempted to sing and drink at the same time.

Urist has died, triumphantly: earned Darwin award while trying to impress others.

[Varyag]

And I love you guys, the ideas are awesome. But please keep in mind that is has to be a single line. I can add a second line which is either always the same, or random as well, but I cant make several lines that are in relation to each other.

Well that's a shame. What about the actual interactions then, can these random lines have an accompanying effect like say the dwarf actually catching fire if the line says he does?

[masterdiscord]

What if these random deaths were mitigated by the state of your medical facilities? I have a bad habit of completely ignoring hospitals and doctors because the times I've made the effort, they were simply too stupid to carry dwarves to the hospital, or the doctors wandered around with their thumbs up their collective ass and let patients die.

At least it would give us slackers a reason to build a medical wing.

P.S, That Darwin award should totally be a Durin award.
