another forum game(worst error)
« on: November 03, 2007, 08:27:00 pm »

What you do is state an error. But that error must contradict or prevent or happen before the one just posted.
No worldgen errors, or errors that happen before you gain cotrol, or else we blame you for killing the thread.

The errors can be completely fictional.
an example:
-------
During a kobold invasion, a kobold falls upward, and crashes DF when it hits the sky.
-------
but before that can happen, the kobolds fail being loaded, so all that appears is a poodle.
-------
No poodle apears because the raws were messed and instead a herd of flying elephants appear.
-------
and so on....


Someone start this off.

In the new version, a small typo appears, causing 'Dwarf' to appear as 'Dorf' on one screen. Three users panic, thinking they have a pirated version, then calm down when they remember it's freeware.

Unfortunately before that can happen, the water turns into magma because of an unexpected runtime error and causes the game to run 3 times faster.

However conversely, elephant herds become three times larger, and make the game three times slower.

However, a mixup replaces the goblins with adamantine demons and the kobolds with dragons. The elephant is deleted.

However, upon deleting the elephant, the code to make them bloodthirsty maniacs bugs out and makes everything run around rampaging like a bloodthirsty maniac, including dwarves and vermin. Woe to all who get in the way of an angry fluffy wambler.

Except, there's another bug in the files where "bloodthirsty maniac" is defined as   "go to meeting area, and do nothing but mill around".  Such that *All* creatures  on the map (including dwarves) all go to the meeting zone, and do just that while climbing over everyone.  I wonder what would happen if the meeting area is a 1x1 square?

however, that kinda requires meeting areas to exist in the first place, and the part of the code that allows them was accidently deleted.

However, levers have accidently been tied to demon pit attacks. Every time you pull a lever, they attack.

But for some reason the lever "building" order shift-p (pull lever) vanished. Levers can no longer be pulled.

One of your soldiers goes to dismantle the lever for no reason, pulling it in the process. The demon pit is opened, however they're actually stray kittens!

But the code for the freezing temperature of water got messed up and the kittens end up encased in ice while everything else stands around them.
