...so, wait, why did you jump off of a cliff?

[Funtimes]

Probably because it looked like a harmless fool and just wanted some quick laughs. Funny how the RNG hates that.

(Military dwarf) has grown attached to a cobalt battle axe. *facedesks* I was right about to get my smelters and such going to.

PagePeaks is in lockdown with a cyclops circling the defensive wall.  My amateur archers take potshots as he crosses over a nearby hill doing little other than angering him more.  An unfortunate group of immigrants choose this time to show up.  3 are mauled immediately by the enraged cyclops.  Then, inexplicably, the cyclops takes off his pig tail glove and starts beating the hell out of the nearest unlucky immigrant.  The last 2 dwarves stand dumbstruck for a moment watching their friend being beaten savagely with a glove.  Then, coming to their senses, they make a mad dash for the fortress gates.  Scrambling up the mountain they make it to the huge drawbridge and start pounding madly for the gatekeeper to open up.  (you see it coming don't you?)  The gatekeeper throws the switch, the drawbridge chains fly from their wheels as the massive stone drawbridge slams to the ground.  The cleaning crew will be washing dwarf guts off the gates for weeks.

The cyclops is still out there beating that poor dwarf silly with his huge glove...

actually he probably took that from one of the migrants, it happens, ALOT
hyper deadly beast picks up something to use as a weapon that completely nerfs them

Mother, carrying two kids, just wandered into the danger room. First dwarf deaths.

First post...

My legendary urist McHunter spent years happily hunting unicorns, supplying my fortress with lots of meat... Until.

Until he got distracted by the beauty of my fortress floating river and happily walked into riverbed - with no frigging exit... (Well you know what happens now don't you ?) When i go to investigate the scene - i see him happily hugging a unicorn, both dead at the bottom of the river... Oh and I truly hope that cat over there was the hunters pet. (hehe...)

Well at least he died happy - thats what matters - right...

I've only been playing for a couple months, so I'm pretty prone to facepalm moments. I just had two recently that ring a bell.

1. Embarked on an area that was too cold, water source froze over. I got this bright idea that if I have a dwarf channel ice, surely that will break it away and water will come flowing out, sounds reasonable right? Well.. I was wrong. Not only did it not accomplish anything, a dwarf became encased in ice, never to be seen again.

2. Had a few dwarves channeling an area from above ground to reach a muddy spot for an underground farm. It worked, sure. One problem was, I didn't have a way for the dwarves to get back to the surface. I had the upward stairway, but the problem was that there was ground in the way. They got down there because it was from a slope, and there was no way for them to get back up. I thought it was weird.. dwarves standing around, but for some odd reason it never clicked that they were stranded there. I only really understood this when a dwarf starved to death. <-- And that's actually my current fortress, not the ice incident though.. that was a previous failed fortress. The main reason I didn't notice the dwarves stranded was that I was very busy around my fort. This was only one of my projects I was working on.

If I do anything else extremely facepalm worthy I'll be sure to let you all know.

Likewise, though my expression was probably different. The first time I opened the Therapist while playing DF, I thought "Oh, this is much too 'different,'" closed it, and didn't try it again for a week.

First time I saw DF Therapist, I proceeded to ignore it completely.
I'm taking the hard way and managing everything without it.

I forgot how accurately fluid mechanics work in DF.

Now my hospital is flooding.

This actually was one of the rare times that a hospital flood was an accident on my part. My militia commander was, against all odds, recovering. My paralyzed, dying-from-infection Legendary Miner wasn't even in the hospital.
