Conform to Aquina's Fith Way, in which Beneficial Order shows that creatures incapable of working towards a common goal, as they lack the intelligence to do so, must be directed by a higher authority. In this case, that is the overseer; if the overseer wills it, then Urist will do it. Unless its to do with staying away from socks (They have a sordid love affair)

Urist McPhilosopher cancels work: thinking. Wait, dwarves don't think. Philosophers are the most useless dwarves of all.

This is a masterwork engraving by Urist McPhilosopher.  On the engraving is a picture of a right-angle triangle, the symbol of The Pythagorean Chasms, a local Dwarven government.  Engraved is a picture of the dwarf Urist McSpinoza.  The dwarf Urist McSpinoza is surrounded by cheese.  The cheese is broken into monads. This picture relates to the nomination of Urist McSpinoza to the post of Official Thinker of The Pythagorean Chasms.  Engraved is a picture of Fath McNietzsche and dwarves.  The dwarves are cowering.  Fath McNietzsche is pontificating.  This picture relates to the prophecy of the UberDorf, related in the year 298.  Engraved is a picture of a cheese surrounded by abstract epiphenomena.  The picture relates to the publication of the book All Mind Is Merely Cheese by the dwarf Dennett McUberrealist in the year 476.

WWUD if offered correspondance courses in Goblin as a Second Language?

((XD One hell of an answer.))

He would agree to said course and speak gibberish to get through (Nine out of ten couldn't tell the difference!) then, on an exchange student placement, he murders all students. They're goblin, you see; but it's better than what happened to the exchange student who went to the fortress. Faster...

WWUD if he had a cheese the size of a dinner plate?

Urist McEngraver carves a Masterwork engraving of dinner plate size cheese on all the walls. The engraving contains an image of a dwarf and cheese, the dwarf is engraving the walls with and image of a dwarf and cheese.

Urist McEngraver cause the world to end before he can eat the cheese due to FPS death upon inspection of engravings as the CPU tries to cope with the infinitely recursive nature of the above engravings.

WWUD if he caused the end of the world?

My second turn's unnoficial goal was to turn everyone into vampires, and it backfired so bad, I ended up making the fort a more efficient, safer and friendlier place.
Apparently they evolved a taste for everything I love and care about

Share his vision with his comrades. They decide he's gone stark raving mad, and sure enough he soon dies of thirst.

WWUD if DF 1.0 didn't allow him to build magma pump stacks?
