So that could have been it... I also note that I have an very odd relationship with spiders.

 From the Diary of 'Ghostwoods' Wonderedhalls, Fogwall outpost. 25th Granite 551. Well. Damned if I know what all that was about. I was trying to explain the challenges of slicing Elephant-cheese to that old farmer, Symuun, when he dashed off. I was still getting over my surprise at that when he dashed back again, this time with a bloody great big axe. "Grab this, lad," he said, and pressed it into my hands. I did my best to point out that you really don't want an axe for cheese. Not enough precision, see. Too weighty, too... well... axey. You don't want mangle-cheese now, do you? 'Course not. Anyway, did he listen? Did he buggery. The old coot shot off somewhere else, came back with a couple of girls, and told me I was in charge! That's not so bad, having a pair of 70-somethings looking up to me. I'm a married dwarf of course, but there's nothing wrong with looking, even if one of 'em seems depressed, and the other one's a bit slow. That's miners for you, though. Too wrapped up in stone. No connection to the things that matter, like rotting milk. From then on, it was all "Stand here!", "Go out the door!", "Come back in the door!", "Go out again!", "Come back in again!", and so on, for over three weeks now. Can't make his bloody mind up, the poor old sod. He said something about goblins, but that's a ridiculous idea. Who under the earth would ever consider eating Goblin-cheese?

From the Diary of 'Ghostwoods' Wonderedhalls, Fogwall outpost. 23rd Limestone 551. I'm becoming quite concerned about Overseer Symuun's mental health. He doesn't seem to understand the differences between a logging axe, a battling axe, and a cheesing axe. How could a Dwarf fall so far from Armok's grace? He is very old, the poor fellow. Ancient, even. Perhaps his eyesight is going -- or his mind. Or both. Whatever the reason, he spent solid hours screaming at me about things he clearly has absolutely no understanding of. I did my best to remain patient. It is wrong to be cruel to the afflicted. Besides, he is Overseer for now, and thus deserves respect. I doubt that I would waste a slice of cheddar on him if he were toasting, however. Anyhow, he finally seemed to actually remember the true writ. I left to take out my frustration on some trees. Pointless things, trees. Utterly milkless. That StrangeAeon seems like a solid fellow, however. He knows his way around a wheel of Gouda. Good to have him on board.

Given how you seem to control the powers of chaos -- at least, if Crawl is anything to go by -- I don't see you could possibly be more disastrous than, say, Epee Em's planepacked-glitching ways!

Spanish Matlock posted:Eh it's no trouble at all to deconstruct the walls and return the fortress to normal. Which will hopefully happen. As fun as shut-in madness is for a turn, turtle fortress is not exactly thrilling. I was thinking more of a vampire fortress with no military and a bunch of murdered settlers.

ninjewtsu posted:I'm not a huge fan of calling this a civil war. There really isn't any sides or factions or loyalties or anything As I understand it, dwarves attacking a friendly do actually get labelled as members of an enemy faction. Unfortunately, they're still tagged as friendly faction too. Which pretty much is the definition of a civil war. Anyway, the problem arises when a newcomer attempts to pacify the 'enemy', because that also counts as attacking a friendly for purposes of tagging. So the insanity spreads like a death-virus. I don't think it can end anywhere other than a Highlanderesque "There Can Be Only One". You can hide a chunk of the populace away from all the combatants, so they never get infected though, and keep them separate until all the fighters are dead.

Spanish Matlock posted:If only there were another kind of virus spreading through the fort that made people exceptionally easy to hide away for long periods of time. Well, yes. When I say "problem", I of course mean "wonderfulness". ninjewtsu posted:This makes sense, though from my observations it would appear that each dwarf gets tagged as a member of its own individual enemy faction, which are also all hostile to each other. At the very least, there's some 3-5 factions in play here, which makes me hesitant to call it a "civil war" when it's that chaotic. There are no obvious lines in the sand like a war would imply, so Hm. You have an excellent point, there. OK, I take it back. It's not so much a civil war as The Stars Are Right. I'd guess that every infected dwarf still considers itself a friendly member of the Civ, but sees other dwarfs' enemy tags as a faceless mass.

TildeATH posted:No, no, you have to kill. Dwarfs can get into fistfights and be fine. Hammerers and brawls are fine, but IIRC there's a difference in the way the attack is coded -- so hitting someone both friendly and enemy as if they were an enemy will infect you, whilst brawling or hammering someone to death (which you do as/despite being friendly) will not. I don't believe the loyalty cascade can be started without a death, but once it's going, the tangled flags will get ya.

StrangeAeon posted:I wonder how long before everyone is vampires? Since there's more vamps than non-vamps, and feeding is usually fatal, about the next time they've all gotten thirsty. Vampires will feed on animals, if they can find one sleeping, so a breeding pair of narcoleptic cattle would be a great stand-by...
