[Urist Mc Dwarf]

I remember laughing and laughing the first time I was killed by spoilers.

I played DF for a couple years before I read the forums or wiki, so it was a complete shock and surprise to me.

[lawastooshort]

My recent favourite was when I ignored a child's mood and the child killed the cook's husband and the cook beat the entire 60 dwarf fortress to death with her shoe. Her woollen shoe. I was transfixed.

There was so much vomit.

I initially read this as the way your fortress died out.  Which is so damn true.

[Berserkenstein]

My last fort died out because of mass dwarven nudity.

8x unhappiness from being exposed led to stark raving madness, melancholy, death, then tantrum spirals.

All because I forgot about clothing and shoes.

[Agent_Irons]

I did that once. A bit of a mistake with replace clothing instead of over clothing in a uniform, and I had five naked riflemen(cthulhu mythos mod ) beating everyone with rifle butts.

[Slackratchet]

I've been playing DF for a while and I feel I know the game and default keyboard layout pretty well so there are times where I get tying quite fast when I designate and build things. It seems that putting a bed in place of a flood gate to hold back the magma is something that can happen when you're not paying enough attention.

In one of my early fortresses, there was a tantrum spiral and the Captain of the Guard, Baron Solon Anguishedpullies the Laborious Braid of Abatement, responded to this by running around beating everyone to death with his fists. Then a demon diplomat showed up and spread a deadly, necrotic disease throughout the fortress while obsessively stalking the mayor, who couldn't negotiate the beast away on account of being deathly ill.

One of mine sort of did. Embarked in a coldish biome with a river fork. The wagon was placed in the middle of the frozen lake at the fork. Hit space bar, and the lake thawed.

Molten, burning, grizzly bear fat.
Protip: do not use your war grizzlies as dragon defense

I once tried modding in Xenomorphs as a civ, and to test them out I embarked in an evil biome near on of their settlements. Then it rained their blood.

Once, after meticulously checking over every detail of my embark, I started and immediately realized I'd forgotten any seeds in a tundra embark. I decided to press on anyway and my dwarves died of thirst before the winter.

[locustgate]

I settled in a terrifying jungle, my 1st time I played, I didn't know how to dig down....or build doors.....or build. I was wipped out by a flock of zombie parrots.

[palu]

I decided to build a huge wall around my fort, had dwarves strip mining, making blocks, and building the wall. Then winter came. I had neglected to settin up any farming or brewing, and I had a line of dehydrated corpses and blocks leading from the entrance of my fort to the construction site.

[thefish1992]

I was playing with masterworks gnomes and 4 frost giants snuck in to the dining hall. we had know weapons so i drafted everyone into the military and order to attack in hopes that the 80 some gnomes could get in 4 lucky shots. my fort ended with 80 gnomes dog piling 4 frost giants until they all starved, dehydrated, and in 6 cases go insane. While how it happened annoyed me, the mental image of some of the smallest masterwork race swarming the largest and keeping them locked down until the end just puts a smile on my face.

[locustgate]

I settled in a (cold) taiga for the first time my entire party was hauling stuff to my storage, all the stars aligned, and the ice melted, causing all my dwarves to drown.
