......But before they get there the ocean waves wash over them, they drop their wheelbarrows and return home. Someone brings the wheelbarrow back and it all repeats ad-infinitum.

Confirmed: Urist does not like surfing.

Sometimes the caravan guards give up when the fight is really one-sided:

a little more than a page of smackdown
The swordsdwarf slashes the giant cardinal in the head with her ({bismuth bronze short sword}) and the severed part sails off in an arc!
Datan Atheldakon, Swordsdwarf: I yield! I yield!

[Naturegirl1999]

Why would one yield after cutting off a head?

If you cut off someone's head and there's still a fight maybe you get a case of the quivers.

Ah yes, arrow holders coming to life might be a problem depending on if there are arrows inside

(I know you mean like shaking in fear but this interpretation was fun too)

Animating biomes are so inconvenient....

I had a typical one, spent a while trying to download a save

Bet this is a classic. Fight off a werepig attack, manage to eventually control and contain the infected during the full moon by locking them up. Promptly forget to lock them up before next full moon. End result is a fort populated by my small (but competent and well armed) militia and nothing else. Everyone else either got killed or turned into a werepig that my militia subsequently killed.

I'm a lot more careful with werebeasts these days.

my captain of the guard is currently fighting for control of a dwarf they want to interrogate but other dwarves keep grabbing them and taking them to the hospital while the captain chases after them
over
and
over

I gave up on this ending so i just healed said dwarf with dfhack so they can move on so i can expel them

It's odd, when I give dorfs a chest in their room, the chest is always left empty. They do fill the cabinet in their room with damaged and worn out clothing, but the chest doesn't have any effects like you're describing. I do occasionally get a reindeer cheese roast dropped and forbidden in a place where no one will pick it up and it can go rotten and generate purple, but it's not related to whether they have a room: Seems more that Urist was carrying it someplace when they had a fright, took a mood, or gave birth to twins... The miasma only alerts me in the worst of cases, I usually notice it in time.

If you check out the food with "loo{k}" you can un-forbid it, and someone else will just carry it away.

Not with military units that go off duty, that food is marked as belonging to them and no one else can touch it. DFHack can deal with it though.

For the longest time I couldn't figure out why in my reclaimed fortress I kept running out of plump helmet spawn.  Usually I am drowning in it a few years in.  I had left an active field from the old fortress that was often flooded under puddles of water.  Urist McPlanter still decided to plant seeds there, but nothing ever grew because of the flooding.

I look away for a few seconds while possibly a scholar showed up with a book (i dont have one, so someone brought it in, had a show and tell, then left lol)

I like how most of your citizens are human necromancers.
