Hey there everyone,
been lurking for about a month now after finding out about dwarf fortress. Thought I would share some of the silly things that my engraver has been doing.

One of the first engravings my legendary engraver did,

He has been consistently producing images of geometric shapes in my dining hall for nearly half a season. =/

It's a masterful square though...At least it's not a rectangle.

It's a masterful square though...At least it's not a rectangle.

Actually, it is.

Then it's not masterful...or a square...HE'S A LIAR!

I was cooking dinner, and I wanted to wipe some garlic off a knife I was holding. My hands were dirty, so I looked around for something to scrape it off with. "Ah," I thinks, "I had a knife around here a moment ago... I'll just use that one. ... ... ... Hey, anyone seen what I did with that knife I was just holding?" Pass 15 seconds of intense searching. "Uh, found it, the knife was still in my hand."

I didn't actually facepalm, as I was holding a knife.
Dinner turned out great, though.

Oh, what? It has to be about DF? Suck it up, buttercup.

Clearly he's a legendary liar as well as a legendary engraver.

The Dabbling one is way more Intriguing isn't it?

That looks kinda like China for some reason...

"Hey how did my woodworker get legendary observer 5 seconds after disembark?"

and what did he see?

Perhaps, for a brief moment, he stared into R'lyeh. But kept his sanity.

I hate to be the one to break this to you, it's kind of like learning the truth about Santa Claus, but all squares are rectangles and some rectangles are squares.  So any square is, ipso facto, also a rectangle.

Maybe that's why it's a masterpiece...

Could have been worse, you COULD have been elected mayor and been a total dick

Cheer up, that's a dwarfy way to go!

Remember, the theory is that things crushed by DF drawbridges have a chance of ending up in our world thanks to their physics and dimensional bending properties.

Who knows, he may have popped into our world next to the best beer brewery on the planet!

Of course it is significantly more likely that he popped into existence inside solid rock underground.  And more likely yet to have popped into our universe in the middle of deep space.  But ya know, there's that tiny insignificant chance he's a happy dwarf.

Don't feel bad, Internet Kraken. Not too long ago I killed my dorfy representation of myself with a river and the fact that I had forgotten to link my floodgate and lever together.

My first embark in 31.01 was beautiful.  4x4, red sand and limestone on the surface, all 3 iron ores visible on embark, 2 veins of bit.coal on the surface, 5 more as I dug out the early rooms under the wagon.  The facepalm?  I had used my embark strategy from 40d.  I had no anvil.  Just to rub salt in the wound, my first mood was a fey armorsmith.  By the time the caravan showed up, he was already insane.

My latest fort was on an ocean volcano.  8 z-levels of floors over the magma pipe, with walls around the open side.  I decided to adjust the position of walls on level 8, while building floor 9.  "a section of the cavern has collapsed!!"  Don't remove the only supporting wall while constructing a floor 8 z-levels above most of your fort.  On the plus side, the dwarf who fell in discovered the magma sea, 185 z-levels below where she was working.
