Why are all dwarven names unisex?

Like, dwarven equality, man!
Also, Litrast doesn't really care what gender the other Litast is, as long as (s)he does his/her job. Unless theyt're married that is.

Why would anyone make an artifact that's a candy hammer or a wood cup?

Dwarves lose control when they go into moods. Trust me, they smack themselves in the forehead at least as hard as you do when they come to their senses again.

Why have dwarves evolved to do this? It's counterproductive!

They've evolved to do this because back when every artifact was a weapon made out of the finest metal a beserk dwarf only had to go ten urists to find a device capable of bringing an end to everything. Also forts were covered in kobolds trying to get at the weapon. In the end, it just wasn't worth it, hence the featherwood hammer.

Why do kobolds steal the first thing they see, such as a xxsockxx, when the perfect cut black diamond or other treasure is nearby?

[Monk321654]

Kobolds are willing to settle for what they can get, and five more steps forward means five more steps to run from angry dogs.

Why aren't all dwarves named after weapons, like Urist was?

[GreatWyrmGold]

There's only a couple dozen types of weapons known in the dwarven universe. Imagine if only a couple dozen names could be used; you'd probably have the same name as several of your classmates and friends, not to mention larger groups.

Who wants to ask a question without having to answer one?

[+!!scientist!!+]

obviously someone who likes minor paradoxes.

How come snow demons can survive in magma indefinatly, and die the moment a baby's hand touches them?

[Joben]

Because dwarf children are blessed by Armok.

How come dwarves can make mechanical devices (mechanisms) out of stone but not wood or metal?

[GreatWyrmGold]

They can make metal mechanisms. As for wood, it's hard to shape into delicate forms like gears while still having strength, and they get laughed at if they try.

Why do dwarves shun elves? Their ethics are similar, except for the whole "eating people" thing; elves and dwarves should see each other as the best friends they have!

[zombie urist]

The whole "eating people" thing.

Why are the children of all animals the same dark red color?

[GreatWyrmGold]

That's the way the display works.

Why is it so hard to stop looking at the new posts and replying to these kinds of questions?

[Joben]

*facepalm* I totally missed that you can make metal mechanisms. Your first objection to wooden  ones applies 10x more to stone though. Lets see you make a  practical stone latch. Meenwhile I'll be over here making one in a few minutes with a pocket knife and a few sticks. Also wood works fine for gears. Hell that's what most water wheels and windmills were made with IRL

Maybe for U.

Dwarves are much better at working stone than wood. They have beards.

Why do elves eat people?

[Graknorke]

Because they can't be bothered to manufacture Soylent Green.

Why do trees always fall exactly where they stood?

[TSTwizby]

Because one tree does not completely fill one in game tile. There is room to the sides for the wood to fall while remaining in the same tile.

In reference to the above, why can't anything seem to realize that it's possible to move around trees?
