A Homestuck hiatus means that I start ruining the lives of pretend ASCII dwarves again, apparently. Homestuck is a much healthier preoccupation than Dwarf Fortress.

I made an awesome gruesome trap corridor that drops things 26 z-levels onto a bunch of spikes. Smashes my enemies into unrecognizable bits! I'm trying to lure the goblins into it, using a puppy for bait. This should obviously appeal to ASCII goblin sensibilities. Look at this goddamn puppy, goblins. This thing is fucking adorable. Why don't you come inside and kill this puppy?

They won't come inside and kill this puppy. I might have to stick a dwarf I'm not using in there instead, I don't know.

I did get a minotaur to come into the doom corridor, but that was because I stuck a door at the end for it to break. As any scholar of Greek mythology will tell you, minotaurs enjoy nothing more than breaking doors, tables, chairs, and "querns." Yet such stuff does not tickle a goblin's fancy, I fear.

You know, I even set up the trap corridor with plumbing this time? So I can flush it out, if an eldritch horror shows up miserably shedding its diseased flesh like confetti! Yet the only guests I've gotten are minotaurs with grudges against doors and goblins too tenderhearted to kill puppies. It's all very discouraging.
