HA! 3000.

I don't get it.

Neither do I. But it's still HA!

[Yoink]

HAHA!

[NewSheoth]

HAHA!

HAHAHA!

Back to facepalmity:

Anytime I did not check for goblin availability on the site, and build extensive defenses preparing for sieges that will never come.

Yes, this used to happen a lot before I learned the lesson.

[TolyK]

oh, and how would you do that 

anyways I sometimes did the same thing with the marksdwarves, only with the kill command... much more Fun.

If that's a question, then press Tab when you are on the site choosing screen. It will shift between a few modes, one of them being civilization availability. Goblins are marked with a -------, which helps to see if they will attack you or not easily.

He must've died from his sheer awesomeness resulting from doing so.

I just discovered that platinum crafts are 1000x more valuable than stone crafts. I wonder why I ever bothered with stone crafts as trade goods.

excuse me guys, something is puzzling me. why was this thread stickied? :\

Well... other than dwarfs being a constant producer of face palms...

A couple useful and interesting tips have surfaced here and there on this thread.

My moment is probably a rather common one...  I was playing adventure mode and was practicing swimming when a lonely fish swam by... so I killed it... but then... Lots... and lots of fish started appearing at the edge of my sight... and they started attacking me and I attacked back... but ultimately I got killed. The river ran red that day.

I realized that fish could be very dangerous even if they aren't as strong as the fabled carp of olde...

A fortress moment would be when I practiced building a tower.  Despite the obvious possible errors, nothing went wrong and I was happy. Until I started getting messages... Dwarven Child has died of hunger... War Elephant has died of thirst...

I was like... what?  I start to investigate the mystery.  And found a couple corpses and a handful of dying children and elephants on top of the tower.  My only thought is they sneaked up there while I was removing the scaffolding.  But why only children and elephants, I have no idea.  They had no reason to be up there. I only had one reaction. :facepalm:

[Yoink]

Well... They're both types of pet, right?
Musta followed your workers up there, who didn't miss an opportunity to get rid of them.

EDIT: Another facepalm... I just found one of my injured dwarves, yes, the one with the guts popped out.
She wasn't in the hospital. She's crawling along planting fields, with intestines trailing along behind her.
My medic dwarves really aren't doing their jobs well... *facepalm*

Urist (yes, his name actually was Urist this time) got a strange mood and demanded cloth, stone blocks, bone, and wood. I got him his stuff, wondering how they'd be used together.

I ended up with a mule bone gauntlet. Nothing special about it whatsoever, no images, no spikes, nothing.

What I want to know is what on earth happened to the wood, stone and cloth.

[Yoink]

I read that bone artifacts are bugged, their decorations always disappear. I got one too.

Had this happen quite a lot. Just like now: a dorf got posessed and snagged my crafts workshop right when I was frantically making stuff to get seeds off the elves (they're nice to me again despite the horrible deforestation of the map) and demanded two units of bone and one of cloth. I had to butcher a donkey and a mule to get him what he wanted, and all I got was an undecorated bone bin worth less than some of the stuff made outside of moods. Probably the posessors took the rest of the stuff away.

Ah, it's not his fault, then? I guess somebody else will get the job of inspecting the dark, forboding downward passage to see if there are any eldritch horrors waiting to visit their wrath on any dwarf unfortunate enough to stumble upon it.

Actually, I've had a simmilar bug.  I think Toady probably put it in so that dwarves stop becoming invalids, and just go back to work if they don't get treatment after a while.

My expedition leader got kicked by a wild horse a few years ago, and has been running around ever since with bones sticking out of his arm like nothing is wrong.  He was infected for a while, but that went away.  I'm not sure if I should put him on military duty in the hopes he gets slightly more hurt and actually fixed, or if I should hide him away.

Also, it seems that nobody's wounds heal, though that could just be nervous wounds that don't heal.  Hmmm.

Edit: no, it seems to be that almost none of the wounds are healing.  I wonder why.
