I'm pretty sure gameplay is one word.

[tussock]

That is the graphics. That's a dwarf, he's on fire, while carrying a bin, which is on fire. See?

Dwarf Fortress (in 19 words): Patricide, fratricide, matricide, sororicide, infanticide, filicide, mariticide, uxoricide, siblicide, xenocide, genocide, omnicide, and booze.

[Ruhn]

A fun fantasy game with simple graphics, the deepest gameplay you will ever find, and a steep learning curve.

Babysitting alcoholic midgets so angry they spend months punching monsters to death.

Just had an incident involving a giant toad, read more here:

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

So, my first fort in 0.40 (it's taken me a while to get round to updating) and I've got 25 dwarfs and galena is my only ore. In search of more metal, I decided to breach the first cavern layer, and was greeted by a giant toad. Given that I didn't have a military I more or less gave up the fort for dead but decided to watch the carnage ensue anyway. However, the first dwarf the toad came across was a woodcutter, who started hacking at the toad, although in the course of the fight he lost hold of his axe. The toad nonetheless gave in to pain and the woodcutter continued to punch it.

Unfortunately, the toad had collapsed on the main stairs in the fort, between the meeting hall and the food stores. As a result, the dwarves in the hall were one by one interrupted from getting food and started to join in punching the unconscious toad. Eventually this reached the stage where I only had 3 active dwarves left, as everyone else was busy punching the toad, collapsing from exhaustion, waking up and then continuing to punch the toad. The toad woke up occasionally, only to be knocked out almost immediately by the 22 crazy dwarves surrounding it.

This continue to the point where I'd mined and smelted some galena ready to forge into a warhammer and set up a military to use said warhammer just out of mercy. Fortunately, after over a month of constant beating, the beast's head finally turned to mush.

All 22 exhausted dwarves then staggered off to the 6 bed dormitory and promptly fell asleep.

You forgot #20: Regicide (Given those pain in the ass nobles).

[Silent_Thunder]

Oh my god, why is everything I love on fire.

[BraveHero400]

Embark and establish a fort. When you see the flashing red and yellow, it's time to disco.

Adventure Mode: Maybe I can free myself from the webs by setting them on fire?

Dwarf Mode: Maybe I can clean up all this vomit by setting it on fire?

Arena Mode: Why is everything on fire? I didn't even do anything.

Dwarf Fortress: Honestly, setting it on fire seemed like the best idea at the time.

I finally went outside and threw up everywhere.

Life is, in a word, magma.

Life is, in a word, magma.

Before playing adventure mode as much as I have been lately I wouldn't have gotten this, but I am going to vote for this one now.

A profoundly complex machination cleverly disguised as a drunken brawling chaos, wearing a vomit soaked beard.
