Using DigDwarfier.
Day one - Feral gnomes scatter my dwarves and drink ALL the booze.
On day one.
No booze.

Yeahhhhh, pretty much went the way you expected.
Broke my own record for fastest Fun, induced by environment, sans everyone dying.
What you don't have your Fun categorized and recorded?

[SmileyMan]

Went to arena mode, carefully created a human swordsman, with armour, skills, etc.  Took a couple of minutes over it.  Then went back and realised that the cursor was over the magma......

When you go to make another one, your choices should still be there.

[Sabre of Pain]

built a massive, roofless, multi Z level (was on a steep mountainside), out of fortress wall, only to discover there was a hungry giant eagle, which then came down and ate my dwarves.

harvested about 1200 fish not realizing they couldn't be prepared in the kitchen and abandoning the fort after much confusion as to why my dwarves were starving.

[AzureShadow]

Constructed an absolutely massive mining operation to find metal, and after completely digging through 3 full z-levels of mountain, found out that even with all the metal and bituminous coal in the world, I couldn't do anything without one piece of fuel to start off with.

If you had wood and a wood furnace, you could make charcoal.  Then you just go from there.

[Lord Shonus]

My first fort with the new version. I had a three lightly armoured swordsdwarves exploring a cavern, when they ran into seven batfolk. Noting the wooden weapons that the bats were armed with, i decided to attack.

I forgot that blowdarts can be poisoned now.

The result? Two dwarves dead, no batmen dead.

I had one worthy to post here, though I already mentioned in http://www.bay12games.com/forum/index.php?topic=47809.150:

I had only one miner, and I had two copper bars from embark. I wanted to speed up mining a bit, so I ordered construction of two axes.
Made two idle dwarves miners, and wondered why nothing happened. Realized my mistake only when I posted the question in the forum above, and was told that miners use picks, not axes.

I felt like I should have couple big facepalm at that moment....

That place woulda' provided me plenty of wood. Now it's spewing water into the neighbouring cave.

[PeterTheEvilBastard]

First fort. Dug into a cavern. GCS raep. Nuff said.
 Next time, I treat the underground as "deadly and forbidden untill proven otherwise. Or flooded with magma."

[Rockphed]

Flooded with magma won't make it safe.  It will just reduce the populations that are actually safe to deal with.

[Sarstan]

Digging out your irrigation system, have it all nice and ready to go.
Then you dig out the last square and watch the water move in, only then realizing that you forgot to put a lever on the door to stop the flow.

By the GODS I love this game!

First fort. Dug into cavern. Floor is covered in GCS webs.
I have never re-walled that fast in my entire DF career.

...do GCS have the 'building destroyer' tag? 

[BadgerSensei]

Early fortress, didn't realize that DF water generally behaves like real water. I dug a Fort on the bottom level of a canyon, dug a well and hooked the well to a river that ran about six Z-levels up, and made a lake out of my canyon.
