I'm going to experiment with having duplicates of parts of the raw files.
This is what some would call meta !!Science!!.

[Lielac]

I set my fort on fire is what went on.

Cracking open Laborfords again, and kind of wanting to cause an unfortunate accident for the whole fort so I can get on with another one... but no. This fort will die of natural causes, not because I get bored of it!

... Yes, a tantrum spiral is "natural causes". This is Dwarf Fortress, of course a tantrum spiral is natural causes.

City Laborfords, 1st Granite 241 - 19th Slate 241; 115 to 0 beards, several total berserker(s); No Longer Under Siege Because I Set Them On Fire

First: The beginning-of-the-year progress images are in the second set of spoilered images in my last post.

Second: Oooooh, right, I get to see what Likot Holeportals makes and who she makes it with!

Unpausing, aaaaaaand...

Spoiler: Lengthy rambles right here. (click to show/hide)

1st Granite: Likot's screwing around in the upstairs food stockpile, and...

Some Abyssink miner died of thirst. Whatever. No clothes with the body, so a streaker... aw man, she left behind an artifact-maker husband. Died on the coffin level, though, that's convenient. I should check on those and make sure they're all set to allow burials.

... Barely unpaused for 30 frames and a Lockhatchet brat's dead of thirst too. DON'T CAAAAAAAAAAARE

2nd Granite: Oh, good, Likot's on the move. FIND SOMEBODY TO KILL ALREADY DAMMIT

3rd Granite: Well, thanks for dealing with one of the unslabbable ghosts for me, but you do realize you can't use ghosts in your project, right?

4th: Oh man, somebody went berserk in their room. HOW CONVENIENT!

... And somebody else went berserk in the tomb room. LESS CONVENIENT!

Oh, and Fikod Canyongalley (you know, the paraplegic) got her head caved in. And an Utteredinks mason. FUN!

I just locked the first zerker in her room and set the militia on the second. YAKETY SAX!

... 5TH GRANITE: THE STEAM QUADRUPED IS OUT OF ITS CAGE. I REPEAT, THE STEAM QUADRUPED IS OUT OF ITS CAGE. IT IS TERRORIZING DWARVES IN THE MAIN DINING ROOM. THERE IS A FORGOTTEN BEAST IN THE DINING HALL, I REPEAT, THERE IS A FORGOTTEN BEAST IN THE DINING HALL

Aaaaaand precisely nobody got hurt except the FB. BO-RING! Next time I need to line the dining hall with all the FBs I can catch!

... Shut up, still totally natural causes if one of the cages gets broken by a tantrumming dwarf and then the FB(s) kill everyone. And it'd be HILARIOUS.

Aaaaand the zerker killed a dwarf. Whatever.

Oh, and then, like, I got super distracted by my girlfriend and then went to bed. I hope DF being open through my computer going on standby didn't corrupt anything...

ANYWAY. 6th Granite. Still got two bersekers, one's still locked in her room, the other's up to mayhem in the lower food stockpile oh my god professioning most of my dwarves "Workers" makes combat reports so confusing sometimes.

Oh, good, the militia's got here again. Don't die again, 'kay?

Pffffff, some melancholic just died of thirst. And the second zerker got her head bashed in by her... hmm. Shocker. No family relation worth mentioning on the relationships screen. Next fort I'm gonna carefully interbreed my dwarves so everyone's related to everyone else.

... ... ... ... I misread "Vucar" as "Vabok" back in 240 and put Vucar Abyssink down as dead when it was her relative Vabok in the married columns who died of thirst??? pffffffffff anyway that's fixed now time to go kill Catten Abyssink

... Likot Holeportals has begun a mysterious construction. With whose corpse? Medtob Sprinkledlens'? ? When did she die? She's not listed as dead on my spreadsheet! ??

Also oh my god human siege go away already

... another berserker

lovely

Spoiler: The inevitable fall into Armokian madness begins here. (click to show/hide)

y'know what fuck this i'm gonna set every single tree on fire and see what happens

oh my god dfhack says "praise armok!" when you tell it "immolate all"

ok unpausing, let's see how low my fps will get

down to 98 dwarves! I'm gonna pull the levers to open the gates! OH WAIT I CAN'T BECAUSE SOME DWARF DESTROYED THE OUTER TRADE GATE LEVER ah whatever i should lose a few while they try to deconstruct the bridge then

Hey guys, did you know that if there's a fire right next to a wall, that wall shows up as "warm" when you're designating things?

8th Granite: The Avatar of MrWillsauce finally died of thirst. Rest in peace.

Down to 86 dwarves...

Aw, man, the fire's basically burnt itself out -- ooh, the humans left, aw man -- and there are still 86 dwarves. Okay, RELEASE THE FBS!

11th Granite: Minkot Abyssink is opening up the "Waiting Room", and I dunno who's letting Efaci out yet. Ooooh, one of the FBs does deadly dust! Sweet!

Awww, come on, kill a few people! I'M SO BORED OH GOD

13th Granite: WOW, VULTURE WITH DEADLY DUST, WAY TO KILL PEOPLE. NOT.

Oh hey, it actually did. Mostly just knocked basically everybody out of their hospital beds, though.

77... huh. A bunch of people are lying around unconscious. HEY, DWARF THERAPIST, CHEAT FOR ME AND TELL ME WHAT SYNDROMES ARE ON 'EM!

... "Beast Sickness". Dammit, you're no help. I'm gonna ask DFHack.

Ah, whatever, I don't really care.

CORPSES EVERYWHAAAAAAR OH HEY A ZERKER WHAT FUN

16TH GRANITE SO MANY CORPSES MWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAAAAAAA

Nopausing this for funzies :3

Wow, you can pinpoint the exact moment where Lielac snapped.
Not hard, but still... It's quite concerning, the minds of people on these forums. I'm just glad I fit right in.

What minds? We left our minds and sanity at the door!

(There's a reason my custom title was briefly "Violating the Geneva Convention since 2010".)

[Lolfail0009]

Pfft... The Geneva Convention only applies to HUMANS!
A rookie mistake, really... But even the best of us make them X3

[Lielac]

-snicker- I think it would apply to any sentient beings. ... Although. Dwarves. Sentience. ~Questionable~.

(Did I say briefly? I mean it's that again.)

[Lolfail0009]

Nothing is sentient once subjected to Mr. Bear.

This phenomenon allows for maximum exploitation and research without fear of moral and/or legal repercussions!

I kept digging my borehole i reached the floor of the second cavern.
I dig the floors and then collapse them, easier, faster and safer than channeling each layer.

Just as i finish setting the thing up a fogotten beast appears. A flying spider. How lucky it shows up just in time!

Assign everyone to a small burrow around the lever via civ alert. As soon as the damn beach flies under one of the floors BAM!

That was pure win.

That purple S right in the middle is the body of the beast

Masterwork is also very configurable, so it's fairly simple to set it up so you can gradually introduce the new features (though most require new worlds).
...

People often mention how configurable masterwork is, but from what I've read, one of the few things that I would want to (at least, I think that way now) turn off is also one of the very few things that can't be turned off, namely materials being standardized to just "grass", "wood", "stone", 3 types of leather etc. And while I understand that that mod is basically a prerequisite for a lot of other stuff in masterwork to work, that claim tends to irk me. Just my 2 cents.

[doublestrafe]

I had an average, unskilled dwarf run into a kobold. The kobold stabbed her infant daughter, cutting off its arm. Her husband, one of the guards, killed it, but the baby quickly bled out and died.

Later, she ran into another kobold. This one stabbed her in the hand, severing the motor nerve. This was apparently more than she could take, because she flew into a rage, shattered its elbow with her hurt arm, bit its finger off, then punched it in the head until it died.

Later, she got a mood and made an artifact corset (I've been playing with clothing, yeah) with a picture of the kobold thief that had killed her daughter. She's now a legendary weaver.

In my fort, the weaver hates kobolds.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

[FallenAngel]

I'm rather fond of kobolds.
I don't like their thievery, but when they're not doing that, they're fine with me.
Plus, they're too weak to kill my race's citizens.
Even the infants.

[Edmus]

I enjoy that crossbow bolts send them flying backward.

Apparently, when there is a duplicate of the INORGANIC_METAL file, the game gets really confused, so you can have onyx and lapis lazuli bars.

That happens with any duped raw entry. Two things cannot have the same ID, otherwise the game gets confused.

[Eric Blank]

It can be hilariously fun, though.
