"The *large, serrated steel disc* strikes the Goblin Lasher in the guts and the severed part sails off in an arc!"
"Urist McMoody has created Awesomesauce, the Artifact Furniture!"

and, perversely enough,

Smunstu the Gash of Pulling the Titan has come!

Certainly you could argue that DF is a lot like The Sims, only... you know... with more vomit and decapitation.
If you launch a wooden mine cart towards the ocean at a sufficient speed, you can have your entire dwarf sail away in an ark.

You wanna know what gets my warm fuzzies churning? I'll quote another post of mine.
Is it bad that i have a personal system of justice?

15 layers above the surface is a diving board.
Back in the Barracks theres a little squad called "You Did A Good Thing!"

So "Urist McGood" does a can-opener into my "scrap pit" where i dump every thing ever.
Bodies..
Cloths..
...Bodies..

I love seeing things added to this pile. I've added Kobies.. little gobs.. cats.. UNGRATEFUL LIVESTOCK THAT WONT FREAKING EAT THE TASTY GRASS

.."doo gooders"

My warm fuzzies kick in when the parts sail in all directions and fall off the podium in the center.

Goblin ambush: and every single one has a bow of some kind.

See, I play as a highland lord, I light the torches its time for war, I'll ride through a rival town weilding a ball and chain made of spikes and thorns, or a longsword, with the hilt made out of a dinosaurs spinal chord, sharpened against a rhino's horn, when you swing it it sounds like a lions roar!

Statues commemorating "Snozu McGoblin fell to death".

Modded weapons and trap components with modded combat messages terminating modded sieges. Both in watching gibs fly and reading the combat reports.

Half my fort shooting crossbows at some target. I wish I could afford all the ammo for this on a regular basis...

Congrats, Psieye. This is the first time I've seen a derailed thread get put back on the rails.

My hunter falling asleep in the butcher's workshop after delivering a kill.
My expedition leader conducting meetings with the liaison next to the lake with the dead Kobold in it even though it's on the other side of the river.

My hunter falling asleep in the butcher's workshop after delivering a kill.

'S the after that's important, of course.

Mine:
Dwarves swarming to do things instead of partying. Hell, dwarves swarming in general because it looks cool.
My broker's job changing to 'Trade at Depot' as soon as I close out the depot 'q' menu after requesting a trader.
Urist McStonecrafter has been taken by a fey mood! and/or Urist McStonecrafter withdraws from society... followed by Urist McStonecrafter has begun a mysterious construction!. (Stonecrafters getting moods means my ability to buy out caravans has increased.)

OP: When you set up a game for yourself that's supposed to be absolutely impossible... and then you find a way to survive.

I love it when my crappy military force performs beautifully.

Or when my fortress lives up to all of my expectations, and then some. Rare, but sometimes everything goes according to plan. Or my plans were actually good/not overly-specific to the point where everything ruins them.

I have no idea where anything is. I have no idea what anything does. This is not merely a madhouse designed by a madman, but a madhouse designed by many madmen, each with an intense hatred for the previous madman's unique flavour of madness.

Statue created that depicts the demise of the general of the goblin civilization to a weapon trap.

The forums! I always feel so at home.  :D

As far as the game's concerned:
  • I love it when a plan comes together.
  • I love it when everything falls apart.
