[Imp]

My 31.10 fortress was purring along in its second year, filled with thirty-odd happy and happier dwarves,  nothing more dangerous than a pack of wolves visible.  No wounded yet, though I was half keeping an eye on those wolves, with a few tree cutters near them and me unsure how close the two might come before interrupted warnings might come.

I look away a moment, and suddenly get a message warning of canceling giving water, cause I've got no buckets.  True enough; yet... the wolves tore into my workers without a warning?  Someone survived to rest and get thirsty?  Man I just looked away 10 seconds ago...

The wolves are behaving themselves, the trees are still being lumbered.  Hasn't been a fight for about three months, and the one wounded guy walked off his bruises long ago.  I'm trying and trying to find someone who's missing, wounded...


I check the beds.  Four people sleeping, but none are flashing wounded.  Although, one's flashing thirsty.  Aha!  And as near as I could tell, that's what the bucket was for, to give an unharmed sleeping dwarf a drink!

To prevent such rude jokes, I can see dwarven lords passing mandates forbidding the use of buckets except when explicity needed.  What a way to wake up, when you've been dreaming of a nice barrel of brew!
