My population is over 200 right now.  I guess my high survival rate drew the attention of Armok;  a human law-giver came to my fortress, and, a few seconds later, a goblin ambush appeared right next to him.  Their last law-giver was also killed by goblins on my land.

Urist Glovedbrain has cut himself off from the fortress while digging out the prep work for the dining room waterfall, AGAIN.

The same as any other failed mood.  It can be somewhat sad, somewhat amusing, or potentially deadly if it's your most elite axe lord.

Do you always look at it in ASCII?

You get used to it, I don't even see the ASCII.  All I see is blacksmith, miner, goblin.

Did you get the "Urist McJeweler has started a mysterious construction" message? If so, you have nothing to worry about. But relevantly, I have noticed that a lot of the jewel-related moods use remarkably little in the way of materials. May just be bad luck on my part though.

When I was reorganizing my inventory to fit all by books on life and death into various bags and things, I looked at my inventory and saw that I was multigrasping a necromancer slab.  It was pretty hilarious.
I think that would be an excellent way to impart the critical lessons of life and death to the ignorant masses.

Having a sudden increase of additional units in the area can take your FPS down like a paraplegic on an ice covered hill.

I spent all day on Dwarf Fortress. I decided to try a couple things I haven't tried before.

I created a reservoir. 10x10x10 scale. Fed by a few holes in the river (dropped from underneath with the help of floodgates). Added a hatch-covered drain controlled by a lever that went straight into a cavern lake (which caused hilarious fast over-flooding due to pressure).
-Connected it to my prison area so I could flood instantly at a whim.
-Designed it so I could have my well vomit water at an alarmingly fast pressure-fun rate with the right combination of levers.

I started a chicken/turkey breeding program. Those beasts really overpopulate themselves when cut off from dwarves and given a dozen nest boxes.

I built the majority of my fortress across 2 Z-levels, rather than having a very vertical fortress.

I just realized my Mayor's never gonna lose re-election: 8 of my 37 adult dwarves are her kids. She's got 12 more still growing up.

It's a good thing that a) she only mandates stone grates and b) there's no Guard Captain to punish random people when I don't notice the mandate.

My dwarves just elected a thirteen year old to the office of Mayor. They must realize, as I do, how worthless the position actually is. They're just doing it to mess with me.

...

Holy crap, the dwarves are metagaming.

That's really strange. I've never encountered any non-dwarf ghosts before, and I atom smash the corpses of many invader goblins. Did you do anything strange to their corpses?

My 20000-Urist-Water-Reactor is about 1/10th completed, after 3 years of work. It would go so much faster if I wasn't engraving the entire thing...

Is this a reclaim?

Mine have started electing the worst mayors ages ago. I just enroll these mayors in the military whenever it happens.
In other news, still busy carving out of the mountain the giant diety statue where my dwarfs live in. The head is not even done yet. The eyes are clear glass fortifications, and behind each of them, there's an archer range for training. I very briefly considered also making water pour out the lower part of the eyes to make tears... but Bardum Shadmalrrith Zokun Shetbeth, goddess of dreams, nightmares, the moon, the sky and the night, is no whiny diety.  >:(
Unless I manage to get magma to the surface, in which case I'll make her cry magma. That's the most nightmarish thing I could pull off without pouring blood, molten lead, gnomeblight and various organs.

I don't mean to alarm you, but it appears that your Dwarves are all in fact elephants.
