A good tantrum spiral is a beautiful thing to watch
« on: August 15, 2009, 09:28:14 pm »

The human diplomat went beserk in the middle of my dining hall (during a wedding ceremony, no less.) Killed a couple dogs and a jeweler, and now everyone's running around, getting into fist fights, and falling into the newly dug lava moat.

Fun.

You need a Doomsday device.
Something like a lever in the middle of your hallway that will release a ridiculous amount of magma into your fort.

You think berserk dwarves are fun now? Just wait 'till one pulls the Oh Shit lever.

A vile force of darkness has arrived!

Your fortress has crumbled to its end.


Remember: the most likely scenario to end your fortress is the one you don't see coming.

Keep an eye out for those migrants, in the meantime. You don't want them ruining your fortress's future, and we all know they have to everyone else in the past. I'm one of the lucky few as I just train up all the peasants into miners/mechanics/etc., so I don't really care about dwarves being legendary fast.

Good luck killing your fortress. Be sure to do it before those tourists adventurers wannabe heroes people who haven't checked the weather recently arrive. Because we all know it's going to be raining blood and magma soon.

I am perhaps the most successful troll ever because even though I do not troll others I troll myself successfully... and there are no rules against trolling yourself.

Sadly, my lava facilities are pretty rudimentary. All my pumping is done by hand.

Urist McManiac cancels build doomsday device. Went insane.

(THIS)^1000

Ive lost fortresses to overzealous sheriffs, popular fisherdwarves/hunters who get killed, guard squads leaving their posts FOR A FUCKING ETERNITY TO EAT SLEEP PARTY AND DRINK ALL AT ONCE, botched trades that left me foodless/drinkless.. I can go on and on and on

But that makes it so much more fun! You make backup saves, until your fortress is destroyed in a spectacularly fun manner. Then you reload it and watch it be destroyed in a completely different, still fun manner!

We all have problems. Some people just have more awesome problems than others.
Getting angry is fun. Getting angry over petty things even better.
