Yup.

Ironically, I later discovered I had 6 engravers.  :-\ Some of them must have been migrants.

Urist: It's 106 miles from the mountainhomes, we got a full wagon of gas, half a pick of cigarettes, it's dark down there, and we're wearing sunglasses.
Catten: Hit it.
Damn you vile character limit!!!

I channeled a tile that was stopping a murky pool from flooding the entire fortress...
I wanted to use the water for drowning invaders but i forget to build the floodgate! :'(

I embarked in an area with salty water and I was trying to desalinate it by building a cistern made only of constructed walls and floor...

but I misplaced a wall, the area flooded, and my doctor dwarf(temporary pump operator) is now resting on river's bottom...

well I just took out a whole kobold civ, the only one on the (small) map, and didn't find anyone else.

THEN A DAMN KOBOLD, THE LAST ONE (legends) kicked me in the shin and I FELL DOWN 5 z-levels an drowned in water, along with the load of DB I was carrying...

...yeah.

P.S. There's a bronze colossus waiting stranded in a pond murky pool  :D

Fact: I slaughtered several Forgotten Beasts in highly-frequented parts of the partly-flooded caverns.
Fact: I had little regard for the risks implied by such a neglect, because I'm naively thinking I need more Fun® and the water would wash away the crap anyway.
Fact: all tame animals that aren't restrained war dogs or piled up in a cage are sleeping, and they have been doing so for... huh, a while.
Fact: my mayor sleeps and eat a lot. I just found out today he specifically woke up just so he could drink, then went back to sleep.
Fact: I don't remember any monster causing comas, but maybe that's because they ate their victims before the extract affected them.
Fact: while my mayor is turning into a short alcoholic hibernating bear, there is one diplomat and one outpost liaison waiting for him to finish/start a meeting and promote him to baron.
Factual conclusion: I am a complete moron.

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

Only vaguely. Made of the same substance and put to the same use, but a bit like comparing a castle and a doublewide trailer.

My mayor threw a tantrum for EXACTLY one frame. Oh and my entire army VS one Drathla that kept beating up people who wanted a drink of water? They broke ALL of it's legs and wounded the rest of it. Could they KILL it? NO! I had to build a CAGE TRAP so they wouldn't fight for 15 months! I did this WHILE fighting! Man, figure out how to DAMAGE things!

Guerilla Burialgears absently tucks the child's rock into his pack and turns to leave for good; his head hung low. His words trail behind him as he disappears over the ridge. It is a haunting whisper, quickly stolen away by the wind: "All burn..."

A well will not stop water from overflowing and flooding your entire fortress, covering everything in mud.

I found out about this by flooding my hospital ;)
