How, precisely, are you supposed to get your victim to walk to the kill zone?  I don't see that mentioned here. --[[User:ThunderClaw|ThunderClaw]] 09:51, 31 October 2008 (EDT)

''...Build another lever at the end of the plank and link it to both the bridge and the support; Set the workshop profile for the lever to the noble you would like to be rid of; Pull the lever '' [[User:Random832|Random832]] 10:29, 31 October 2008 (EDT)

Though it's not clear to me why the bridge needs to be retractable. It seems like this would work just as well with a permanent bridge. [[User:Random832|Random832]] 10:31, 31 October 2008 (EDT)

Why do you need all the trouble with bonus mechanisms and supports? Just build a bridge over the lava and put the lever on it. That way it is even re-usable. You might want to mention this here, because this seems needlessly complex.--[[User:Destor|Destor]] 11:12, 31 October 2008 (EDT)

Can you actually build the lever ''on'' the bridge though? I don't think you can stack things like that. --[[User:Bilkinson|Bilkinson]] 11:17, 31 October 2008 (EDT)

:Indeed you can't.--[[User:Maximus|Maximus]] 11:20, 31 October 2008 (EDT)

:No, you build the lever on the platform that gets collapsed, which is not a bridge. The bridge is so the platform can be walked to without being connected to adjacent floors. [[User:Random832|Random832]] 01:20, 1 November 2008 (EDT)

Bridges are way better way of doing this... Just get the noble between 2 locked doors (lock them when he/she comes in) and bridge and you're done. It is also reusable. --[[User:Someone-else|Someone-else]] 18:15, 1 November 2008 (EDT)

::Can someone add the "This page has been suggested for merging" template to the article? I don't know how.

:::Since there were no objections, I just went ahead and merged it.  The merge can be undone if objections arise.--[[User:Maximus|Maximus]] 13:06, 3 November 2008 (EST)

::::Right now, [[Unfortunate accident]] has ''no'' talk page. Could you merge this the talks as well as the article?

:::::Done.--[[User:Maximus|Maximus]] 16:15, 3 November 2008 (EST)

=== Platform Collapse ===
How is one supposed to build the lever at the end of the bridge?  I tried building a floor to plant the lever on, and while the dwarves did try, the floor just instantly collapsed when complete. --[[User:Corona688|Corona688]] 14:00, 2 November 2008 (EST)

== Should that really be here? ==
I don't know about that 'walk the plank' section being in this article, it runs counter to the tone of the rest of it. The other sections are tongue-in-cheek, and then suddenly it starts blowing a raspberry all over your face. Unless someone could rewrite it to fit the tone. That'd be impressive.  <br />

-I can't seem to figure this out either. Could someone elaborate? By the sounds of it, there's the edge of the cliff, with a support on it, a floor on top of that with bridge extending outwards from the support's floor, and a lever on top of the support? I really don't see how it's supposed to work, and I'd really love to be able to make some children kill themselves by falling into the chasm I've got waiting.

-Bridges can't support floors and such which is why you have to add a support under it i believe.

-== Simpler to use an atomizer? ==
-Is it possible to install a 2 or 3-square atom smasher directly above the noble's bed? Or rather, to install the atom smasher first, raise it, then place the bed? Easier than channeling water, I should think.
-*I suppose replacing the smashed bed would be sort of troublesome though. --[[User:5parrowhawk|5parrowhawk]] 09:21, 11 June 2009 (UTC)
-*To answer this question, you cannot build beneath a raised bridge. --[[User:Quietust|Quietust]] 21:41, 10 August 2009 (UTC)
-== Cage trap? ==
-Would a [[cage trap]] work to capture the noble and release him into an arena? I dont know how you would make it sound nice, but i'm sure it could work. --[[User:Frandude|Frandude]] 19:09, 13 August 2009 (UTC)
-: No, what you do is you construct a lever connected to nothing and assign him to pull it.  Once he begins, close the gates and release the enemies.--[[User:CrazyMcfobo|CrazyMcfobo]] 03:44, 25 August 2009 (UTC)
-== Over the top? ==
-I have a habit of trying to make ridiculous things even more ridiculous, and since this page seemed like it existed solely to be ridiculous, I thought I'd "help".  I don't think I've gone completely overboard, but I won't be totally shocked if someone thinks it's too much. --[[User:Doomchild|Doomchild]] 19:02, 5 March 2010 (UTC)
