Not a recent one, but I am certain a first for a lot of us:

"What is a Forgotten Beast?"

^^^

-Edit-


My first?


"Forgotten beast? Whatever, just some animal. Im sealed off anyway."


A hour later.


"What? How did he get to the surface... Wait, why is the dwarven caravan not moving? Why is blood everywhere?"

I had a old mining shaft I never sealed up.

[WillowLuman]

My first fortress death?

"Adamantine? Hell yes! I'm gonna mine ALL of that shit! Yeah! This game isn't as hard as everyone sa-"

[peskyninja]

"I'm pretty sure gears and axles are waterproof"

[WillowLuman]

Hey remember 31.19 when metal was incredibly rare?

"Guess this 'site finder' thingy doesn't really work. I'm sure there's iron somewhere in the world!"

[jaxler]

I'll make a moat out of Lava!

[Dwarfinator]

"This one has to be the vampire, she has 32 kills and has a shaved head!"

Nope

[Ashsaber]

Two.

(Pertaining to a lever after I've ignored a save for some time)
"What's this do?"

and

(When an expected siege/ambush didn't arrive as expected)
"...this is boring. No one came to play."

[Telgin]

"I keep getting 'interrupted by Forgotten Beat' messages, but I can't see where they can get out of the caverns.  They must be seeing them through the stairs at the bottom of the stairwell or something.  Well, the FBs haven't gotten out yet, guess they can't."

[Hanslanda]

Just stay calm...

[TheeBaconman]

As of recent,

"Oh, hey an ambush." "Oh crap, an ambush!"

I had sealed my fort for most of the time it was alive, and had only found silver. I neglected mining to set up my first minecart tracks and designing buildings on the surface.

And I had a few competent 'weapon' dwarves...I wasted a lot.

[Shoruke]

"They're here already? Well, okay, I think the mechanic can get that last linkage done in time..."

"A skeletal dragon? Well, I can probably take him apart with ranged attacks, he can't breathe fire without lungs, right?" (that dragon actually killed itself trying to swim down my magma pipe into the forging area, but he killed a woodcutter first)

"Huh... Evil biomes are more evil now? Well, let's try this, I can probably handle it." (I did handle it, I just... you know, it took three tries)

"I get rid of the floor in my obsidian farm if I make a controlled cave-in by carving out the sides, right?" (130 deconstructed magma pumps, 800 flaming barrels, and a lot of justifiably startled civilians later...)

"I'll just build a wall around the bottom Z-level in this cavern... subterranean creatures shouldn't be able to fly..."

[jaxler]

I'll just put that off til' later

[Eric Blank]

Ah, procrastination, what evils do you bring to the table today?

"Nope, no reason whatsoever to wall over that pond; goblins won't try to cross it. Temperate biome where water freezes for a month? So what? That siege? They'll never get in if I shut the gates. I think I'll just leave this unpaused while the miners finish the last excavations of the autumn and I get a snack."

[WillowLuman]

"If I leave the game unpaused and unattended for any reason, something can't possibly happen every single time can it?"

[jaxler]

"Sponges? Meh, they must be harmless!"
