This is not a fortress

Giving their fingers?

I take it the suturing wasn't a total success, then..?

[gigolohitman]

Either that, or it's still in bandages and Lester was laying it on thick :)

What kind of mood does Tigerpixie have? Not a fell mood I hope! O_O Take that sword away from her!

[gigolohitman]

Dwarves that get really unhappy have...bad things happen. Generally they do one of three things:

1) Go suicidal, and throw themselves into the nearest pit/pond/magma.

2) Go depressed/melancholy, and wander around refusing to eat until they starve.

3) Go beserk, and start wrecking buildings and attacking other dwarves.

If your star weaver goes beserk near a skilled military dwarf, you lose the weaver. Sad, but sometimes inevitable.

If your Tigerpixie goes beserk, you lose potentially everything, and are left with a single remorseless killer, standing in the wreckage of her former home.

Why is she sad? ;_;

[gigolohitman]

Two reasons

1) Her wardog was unfortunately killed by a troglodyte in front of her.

2) She has no skills that are particularly useful in civilian life. At the moment every time a tour of duty ends, she gets a sad thought "was unhappy at being stood down recently". Of course, if she stays on duty too long then "was unhappy at a long patrol recently"

Several troglodyte attacks meant the only fully equipped squad I had pulled a lot of overtime recently, and was frequently taken on and off duty. I think things will get better now the cavern is segregated.

It's like your game holds a mirror up to real life *looks into reflection in sword blade*

[gigolohitman]

Surely it's like my game holds a very sharp blade up to real life?

[trailingvortex]

It does! I mean, you ARE a depressive potential psychopath, and I AM totally buff and hot. :D

Yup, and I'm useless in a crisis and can't do any surgery!
