Try assigning gremlins labors using therapist.

[JimDale]

I'm currently starving Elf traders to death so I can keep their animals.

[Splint]

Try assigning gremlins labors using therapist.

Why oh WHY didn't I think to try that!? I wish runesmith was up to date. I had an antman army thanks to it once....

[ydaraishy]

Started a new fort on a terrifying forest and an untamed wilds mountain.  It's got sand, clay, zombies, and - the best of all - a delicious magma-pipe not 20 z-levels below in the first cavern layer.  The only thing it's lacking is iron, but that's why I've modded in arsenic bronze and cupronickel as war metals beforehand.  Today will be a good day for Wheelwords.

[ThatAussieGuy]

I had 240-odd dwarves.  A zombie siege turned up and reduced the fort pop to 70, give-or-take a few beserk tantrummers.  It just doesn't FEEL like one of my forts until there's a mass grave that takes years to fill.  I'm already rebuilding and preparing for the next round of xXFUNXx

Urist McCheesemaker has been missing for a week.
Urist McCheesemaker has been found drained of blood!
Vampire McMayor goes insane, struck with melancholy.

I never gave my mayor a room, and turns out that's for the best! my vampire problem solved itself, and I can still unlife my fort later if I want to!

my miner dwarfs who mood keep making useful stuff. Mostly coffers and coffins though. I wonder if they're trying to get a message through to me

I'm trading on a depot made of cat soap

That's a lot better than the crap my dwarves make. I've gotten Pigtail fiber socks at least twice.

[Eric Blank]

Mayor is demanding I make three socks.  Very dwarfy, but I'm not sure how our thread stocks are looking at the moment
I'm excavating the first level of catacombs currently. Need coffins to fill it with. Plenty of things to stuff the coffins with, though.

And a grand master mason to help with that. Masterpieces everywhere. Now if only the glassmakers would develope enough skill to impress me with their furniture... That's a much slower operation, though.

[Dr. D]

A child minotaur just attacked, and promptly tried to attack the pig. It ran into one of my hunters, who took a pot-shot at the animal, and then died at the hands of my axelords.

The pig survived.

Also, a plump helmet man is currently being torn apart by a child party.

[Count Dorku]

40% of my once 50-strong fort just got wiped out by rampaging elf zombies, including most of my military. On the bright side, I didn't have to give the non-zombie elves anything for their trade goods because the zombies killed them too.

I'm beginning to think my choice of embark location may not have been the best.

[MenacesWithSpikes]

Current fortress:  Scarletaxe.  (Not the same as the old Scarletaxe.)  Sits mostly on a good biome (rainforest, I think), but there is a bit of desert (Rocky Wasteland) in the western part of the zone.  Tropical.  Some iron, tons of galena, oodles of limestone.

There is a downside to having a legendary bone carver in a biome full of unicorns.  I'm getting lots of goblins early.  I also got an ettin with a population of 54.

[Teneb]

My miner wasn't fast enough and was caught in the magma while digging the tube that would bring magma to my forges. Good thing spring migration is near.

[MenacesWithSpikes]

Why is it that my fortress of Anvilring produced such a high percentage of awesome artifacts, but the artifacts created in Scarletaxe so far mostly suck?

In Anvilring I had a freaking golden hammer!  An artifact steel axe!  A cloak that I gave to one of my soldiers!  And so on.

Still, the lignite bed has possibilities...

TradedStabs' residents are being moved from the cramped apartment complex of the construction pit housing block, into the spacious family sized apartments of arcology subfloor1.

The shipments of food from the pit site to the new food stockpile indoors has taken an entire year, but is nearing completion.

The fortress doesn't have enough haulers.
The fortress doesn't have enough masons, or engravers either.

Really, the fortress doesn't have enough dwarves. Jobs go unfilled for weeks at a time in the backlog.  Perhaps a protracted period of reproductive hiatus should be enacted?
