So one of my squads took quite a beating on a goblin ambush ( bolts and arrows are too deadly - again - in 31.10 ) resulting in three dead soldiers and three very badly wounded ones. The new health system work almost flawlessly now too, and two of them survive - but one of them had his guts popped out. I recoil in disgust when I think what his enemies would do with the exposed guts in combat, and he is relieved from military duty, returning to work as a furnace operator.

When he left his bed, I recoil again, of disgust and surprise. He now has two ~ following his dwarven smile everywhere. He is quite slow now, but he survived. I'm not in my computer to post a screenshot, but I found amusing how Toady thinks even in these small details. Though I don't know how someone could survive this kind of wounds! I thought this dwarf deserved an end to his misery, but after seeing he working and happy, albeit very slowly due to his condition, I couldn't do it.

[Shrugging Khan]

perhaps you could convince him to tie them in a nice bow into his beard, so nobody accidentally steps on them?

[Ricky]

i can imagine seeing the food he eats go down into his stomach

[Agamemnon]

Promote him to sherrif. Maybe he will strangle someone to death with his guts.

[Mitbick]

I wonder what would happen if you tried chopping the last ~ off. Like a system with an opened door followed by a pressure plate.

Wow... a dwarf is dragging his intestines all over the place and is in constant terrible pain and one of the first suggestions is to hack off his guts with an intricate mechanical contraption. This truly is Dwarf Fortress

(But I think, the door would simply be blocked. If a monarch butterfly corpse can do it, a part of the dwarven digestive system can do it any day)

I had a poor little kitten get disemboweled ("Her guts is popped out.") and she dragged them around behind her for several years. Not sure what happened to her. Probably slaughtered. I should have let her grow up and see if she became a cat with bowels trailing 2 squares behind her.

i believe this goes under "moments that make you love DF" thread

That's a shame.

By the way, can you grasp exposed intestines in battle? The thought of throwing someone like a lasso by their guts is quite... exciting.

Sigged.

I love this game...I thought I'd done every kind of cruelty known to dwarfkind, but new versions keep on making more options.

Exposed guts...I mean, wow.

[Mitbick]

I wonder if there can be different quantities of guts popped out. For example, could you see one dwarf with "~~" while another has "~~~~~~"?

[That guy]

Don't distended intestines need to be kept warm?

[Patchouli]

Atom-smash the trail.

One of the old Dev items suggested that we'd be able to strangle someone with his exposed intestines, I believe.
