Walk the Plank

These threads were formerly at Talk:Walk the Plank, which was merged with this article.

Applied use

How, precisely, are you supposed to get your victim to walk to the kill zone? I don't see that mentioned here. --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 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. 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.--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. --Bilkinson 11:17, 31 October 2008 (EDT)

Indeed you can't.--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. 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. --Someone-else 18:15, 1 November 2008 (EDT)

Suggest Merge

This should be merged into Unfortunate accident.
--Macdjord 14:47, 31 October 2008 (EDT)

Seconded.
--Maximus 19:20, 31 October 2008 (EDT)
Can someone add the "This page has been suggested for merging" template to the article? I don't know how.
--Macdjord 10:53, 3 November 2008 (EST)
Since there were no objections, I just went ahead and merged it. The merge can be undone if objections arise.--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.--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. --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.
--Navian 10:23, 20 November 2008 (EST)

Your lever is ready, m'lord.
--Maximus 13:24, 20 November 2008 (EST)
Well-done, sir. Well done. You are a champion!
--Navian 13:33, 20 November 2008 (EST)
Indeed. It's actually clearer in what to do and what the effect will be than the original version.
