Thieves & cage traps
Not sure that Goblin (master) thieves /can/ evade traps. I've caught a bucketful in cage traps. Didn't know what to do with them, mind... Runspotrun 09:23, 13 November 2007 (EST)
I've noticed that when i melt down Narrow Steel Equipment, all i get is Copper! can someone verify this as a bug or intentional? -- Bullion
- I would think that that would be a bug. Mindsnap 18:42, 3 December 2007 (EST)
Does adding [CURIOUSBEAST_GUZZLER] actually semi-fix sieges? I thought that it didn't. Mindsnap 18:42, 3 December 2007 (EST)
- Uh, surely this isn't a real tag? --Geofferic 17:15, 12 December 2007 (EST)
- It's used on gnomes, so that they can drink your booze if they find it. Strangely, it's also used on bears. Mindsnap, try [CURIOUSBEAST]. It's not anywhere in the default raws, but it's in the program text so it may be recognised. —0x517A5D 17:38, 12 December 2007 (EST)
Snatchers / pedophiles
Why not just leave it as pedophiles "snatchers"? I think it's funny. --Peristarkawan 13:55, 12 December 2007 (EST)
- Why not deal with it as "civilized" people? I mean have some sort of a voting with an argumented discussion on the talk page before a wiki admin say his final word. Those who reverted the change were at least stating something in the summary field. I myself don't think that this bit of humor is appropriate to this article and the user who did it again and again seems to be a vandal for me.--Another 15:12, 12 December 2007 (EST)
- Whatever you do or say, pedophiles are no laughing matter. What's wrong with you Peristarkawan? >:( --Eagle of Fire 15:28, 12 December 2007 (EST)
- There are about 30 episodes of Family Guy that would beg to differ. However this turns out, please stop the edit war. --Peristarkawan 15:51, 12 December 2007 (EST)
- I'm very confident that if it continue, it will result in the ban of Billdauterive. --Eagle of Fire 15:54, 12 December 2007 (EST)

- Whatever you do or say, pedophiles are no laughing matter. What's wrong with you Peristarkawan? >:( --Eagle of Fire 15:28, 12 December 2007 (EST)
- I support the word "snatcher" over "pedophile", for three reasons. First, it's more likely to be immediately understood by all wiki readers. Second, we're not talking same-species kiddy snatchers here - these are goblins, and goblins enslave and/or eat dwarf children. Third, why suggest nastiness and smut (as though dwarven kids a la carte wasn't horrid enough!) in a wiki without firm grounds? Fedor 16:07, 12 December 2007 (EST)
- I wasn't suggesting removing the word "snatcher" at all. You've got to agree that it seems a bit peculiar that the snatchers only target children. Why is it that murderous carp are funny but pedophile goblins are sick? Seems like a double standard to me. --Peristarkawan 16:27, 12 December 2007 (EST)
- Nothing strange at all about targetting only children. They're easier to catch, easier for goblins (who are no great size themselves) to carry, can't resist as well, are much more tender when cooked, and can be permanently enslaved more easily. There's just flat-out no reason to bother with any mention of pedophilia. --Fedor
- Why is it that murderous carp are funny but pedophile
goblinsare sick?: Because it's the truth. --Eagle of Fire 16:42, 12 December 2007 (EST)- Meh. As long as it stays fantasy I don't have a problem with them. Much. I don't subscribe to the notion of thoughtcrime. It's the pederasts, who act on the urge, that are the criminals.
—0x517A5D 17:46, 12 December 2007 (EST)- For the record, it's not just boys that get molested, girls do too. --Gotthard 17:52, 12 December 2007 (EST)
