Desperate Measures.
« on: March 04, 2008, 05:24:00 am »

So, you're starving. There's no vermin. You're cooped up with someone you utterly hate.  What do you do? Eat the bastard! If your dwarves are starving, and you've got little to no hope of recovery, I think it'd be.. Interesting to see dwarves turn on each other and have a *Dwarf-tallow roast*.

There are rumours of a "hot coffee" patch that will re-enable all the cannibalism and explicit lewdness back into the game.

Veeery funny.


It was funny, though, having all these people raving about how the patch was harmful to the children.  Typical.  

Mind you, car theft, embezzlement, prostitution, mindless violence, reckless driving and smuggling of illegal drugs is in no way harmful to children.  Sex that doesn't even show genitalia?  EGADS! What is this world coming to?

And then there's Postal.

Dwarf cannibalism discussion: Minimal.

Considering dwarves are normally covered in an assortment of grime, they are most likely not very tasty.  And that's not even beginning to touch on the subject of gristle.

Considering this kind of situation would be exceptionally rare, I don't think it really needs to be implemented.  Better to have them starve for a while instead of topping off the ol' gut with some dwarf.

And besides, they'd have to fight.  You may end up with no survivors instead of two, if one decides to eat the other and the other decides not to be eaten.  Dwarf number one is killed, but managed to injutre dwarf number two enough that he dies before he can eat his kill.

I'd rather see dwarves with exceptional grudges try to murder each other first.  Cannibalism is for goblins, giant purring maggots, and british comedy troupes.

do married (or otherwise romantically involved) dwarves need a shared room?
Oo
Or do dwarves live republican-style?

I'm pretty sure you didn't mean the pun.  But it made me laugh and groan all the same.
