One of my dwarves is running around, screaming that his precious bat is flying out of reach. He is my brewer. Remind me to never take flying pets along again.

Until then, bats will lose their ability to fly. I hope Batty doesn't end up in the river.

thats just plain silly

[BloodBeard]

Very impressive for a mechanism. If that were a breastplate it would be 9 figures i'd think.

One of my dwarves was possessed today. I was excited, because it would be my first artifact (all my other moody dwarves went nuts).
And it was a kaolinite chain. A damn useless chain! He didn't even gain any experience from it because he was possessed. I decided to make him guard the front of the fort by himself (a horrible punishment in a Terrifying embark). Several seconds later, a siege showed up. I had completely forgotten about him by then, so when I deployed the magma-death system, my first reaction was "Um, oops."
Oh well. He deserved it.

Got my first useful artifact today from an ex mayor. A reindeer bone bed, circled with bands of goblin bone. It has the diety of wealth on it, as well as a dwarf striking down a goblin. Nice. The funny thing was, he was mayor during my first siege, and likely took the leaders bones since he was the only one killed, then the rest ran away.

Finally been left alone by badger hit squad long enough to build my giant anti siege system - basically flushes anything on the surface away to cavern 2 - which I couldn't care less about tbh I thought about having some little burrow/bunkers for dorfs who can't make it back into safety in time before I pull the flush lever... but then decided against it.

That's insane.

I wish my dwarves did stuff that interesting.

That's worth a lot, silly. You want a super-happy noble? Build them a well in their room with an artifact chain in it. They'll be so deliriously happy you could fail four mandates and cut their right arm off and they wouldn't mind too much.

Or just build the chain and reserve it for 'justice'. 
edit: build it in the noble's chambers offcourse.

Was trading with elves and accidentally offered wooden bin full of gems for grizzly and black bear... So. Just seized the bears and chained them to my front gate waiting for elves to come back.

Now clearing my embark site of trees and building a nice little watch tower ~4 z's high. Also trying to figure out where to use sh*tloads of gypsum...

[g2knee]

I've just reached my first cavern ever.  Gold, Platinum, precious gems...My dwarfs are practically salivating!  There is a giant toad and cave crocodile down there though...

Also, I've been aggressively harvesting wood to power my 2 furnaces, 3 smelters and 2 metalsmith workshops.  We'll see what the elves have to see the next time their in town...

Simultaneous Ambush and Siege.

[lazygun]

A hauler with metalcrafting skill went moody and claimed a magma forge. Thinking back to the last time this happened, I went and marked my two remaining wafers "forbidden". I just checked back, and he's screaming that he must have wafers. Sigh.

Simultaneous Ambush and Siege.

Incidentally, there is an easier way to get your civilians inside in a siege/ambush/emergency. Go to the alert you want to use for emergencies (in the military screen, you can use the default Active alert or make a custom one), and with it highlighted go to the rightmost pane. There you can select any burrows you want to be used in the alert, and you can specify multiple burrows. Your fortress can have one and only one Civilian Alert active at a time- you activate this by pressing "Enter" on the desired alert.

I could go on, but that link goes to the wiki, which explains everything better than I can, including the stuff I bothered to mention here.

Monk, please have my babies.  I don't care whether it's physically impossible or not.
