A Forgotten Beast, an eyeless serpent with a shell and venomous blood, instead of going right for the fortress, stalks its victims deeper in the caverns before biting their limbs off. It kills 4 dwarfs, among which a talented surgeon and a baby. All my military is after it, even though I know venomous blood = FunŽ.
It climbs up some carved stairs and decides to attack a planter. It rips his left hand off, then the guy decides to counter-attack and punch it.
Bikda Usaneslul, monster from oblivion, slithering stalker, hater of all that is good, short and hairy, dodges, falls 4 z-levels down, and cracks its skull open.
...
... well, the fort was overpopulated anyway.
*off to rewards the dwarf in some way while facepalmiiiing*

EDIT: THERE ARE MORE MIGRANTS COMING
WTF GUYS WHAT DID I JUST SAY

[UnrealJake]

I just got my first mayor in this fort. They instantly mandate a ban on exported goods "Well that can't be too bad I hope. Ahhh, it's adamantine, so I'm safe. I doubt I will ever mine it, let alone trade it"

I carry on smiling at my near miss of having to make adamantine items for a few more seconds untill it hits me. They like adamantine.

[Lord Shonus]

I never found that to be a big deal. You don't really export it much anyway, and it's trivial to keep a few wafers around for madates once you get the stuff.

[UnrealJake]

Well I'm not a very experience player, and this fort isn't very old. I'm only just getting a military.

I don't have a captain of the guard though, so the only person who will get hurt is the mayor. That is IF he wants any...

Consider fact that creating strands and then waffers should fullfill mandate (same way as creating steel bar fullfills mandate for steel item).

So, for earch raw mined rock, you should get at least three mandate fullfills (strand, waffer, item). That is not too bad.

[UnrealJake]

Ohhh, I had no idea... well when the time comes, I'll do that. Thank you!

I also "learned" yesterday that elves no longer react to chopping down lots of trees. I was now told today they do. I've already chopped down an entire forest, and I'm thorougly confused.

The elves don't like it if you cut down trees, but in the current unmodded version there is no diplomat position in the elven civilization.  Without a diplomat position defined in the entity raws they can't send someone by to ask you to agree to not cut down trees.  If they can't get you to agree to not cut down trees, they can't declare war on you for breaking your agreement.

Cheers. I was told that but now that's more evidence to support it. Anyway, on topic!

I've created a good fortress... magma(volcano = easy life), happy dwarves, a crossbow artifact...
then i switched to ASCII graphics(was using Phoebus pack), don't liked it, and closed the game for switching back, and clicked the F***ING ABANDON FORTRESS!!!

EPIC FACEPALM

[nickdx]

My Legendary Ambusher/Archer/Marksdorf had a wife and three kids.
I always worried about him when he went on hunts (i'm playing on an evil biome), so I assigned 7 war dogs to him, in case he got abushed.

Meanwhile, I had a danger room of single wooden spears (masterfully crafted) with some peasantry having fun on there raking up their skills.
The danger room was based not only on pressure plates on the outside, but also with a lever inside the room itself, with the "Pull the lever" on the Repeat mode.

My UristMcLegendaryArcher went there to pull the lever while I was checking my magma forges 100 floors below, and when I went to the danger room again, there were several war dogs corpses lying around. Apparently, wooden spears are extremely dangerous to pets, so UristMcLegendaryArcher is now known as UristMcMiserableLost7PetsToTragedy or, as he is known by other dorfs in the fort UristMcTantrummer...

I just released a bronze colossus from it's cage with only wrestlers in my military...

Edit:

Double facepalm! Colossus is now residing in the dining room trapping 40 out of 100 of my dwarves there. Only a couple of military deaths so far, but they are getting dehydrated and hungry. Unhappiness is beginning to settle now.

[Iados]

this isn't exaclty a facepalm, more a "OMGWTF" moment...

Reclaimed the fortress i abandoned two posts ago, all OK... about an hour after the first migrant wave I looked to the unit list and saw:

Urist McLeatherworker: Deceased

how the hell he died, it's a mystery.

[MagmaMcFry]

Started my computer, opened DF, hit ">" and cried out in the pain my recently bowled-out and currently swollen finger applied to me.
I can't use my hand at all without feeling extreme pain.

Facepalm... OUCH... Facepalm x2 Combo!

Had that happen to a dorf that went insane when he didn't get amy silk for a mood. After a while, I got the message "Urist McMoody has died in the heat".

near as I can tell, he ran out the open front door and swan dived into the magma pipe.

Possible that he died at the start of the embark by standing on a frozen lake as it thawed?
