And now, I got two diplomats in the hospital well. Somehow, the dorf outpost liaison isn't drowning. I command his swimming skills.

[Shardok]

Digging down down down down down looking for the perfect spot to hide my valuable valuable coins. They're so shiny and must be kept buried beneath all of the other Z levels, with magma surrounding them, and magma in the hallways between where they are stored and where the stairs into them are. Yes, must make them safe. Safe I say. Oh hey, what's that? Adamantine? *designates to be mined carefully* Now, back to the coins, yes. Shiny and all, must be kept safe. *looks at current date* Late Winter? Waaahhh! I have to give my friend the save so he can start his part of the succession game... buh... so much Fun is awaiting me: Adamantine, the King, Magma filled coin chambers, and so much more.

Hmmm, I probably shouldn't be playing this succession game with people not accustomed to playing DF, this could be bad. But hey, they can't blame me for the fun that the magma brings, and besides, I found them a shiny blue type of stone that has to be fun to use. I mean, look how dangerously close it is to that magma!

Well done

[The Scout]

Embarked on a river. Urist McUseful has drowned. x7
Embarked on a river which unfroze right when I started.

[Soapalope]

My horse just had a foal.

Without any member of the opposite gender.

Asexual horse?

[The Scout]

The trader stopped with his horse for more then one reason.

[billybobfred]

Why is my mason not doing anything? ARGH HE IS NOT EVEN ON BREAK WHAT IS UP WITH oh I managed to build him into a corner. Whoops.

[melomel]

Re-embarked on my volcano-draining-into-magma-sea-which-is-also-draining-into-the-caverns site.  There was a slight issue with not having any wood, due to being walled inside in order to avoid the free-roaming Red Ampersands that had set the surface on fire while killing every single thing that set foot on the map.

This site also had cotton candy tubes.  Two of them.

My new embark party was awesome.  Two excellent smith candidates--both loved cotton candy; one liked picks, one liked shields.  Visions of endless masterwork blue picks and shields are dancing through my head at this point--but it had to get better.  The others had excellent stats, and more fortuitous preferences.  I could've had a baron who wanted nothing but corkscrews, cats, and barrels.

As the game loads, it crashes.

And I had typo'd the autosave on start entry in init.

FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU.

A third of my fortress, or maybe a half, is suffering from extreme numbness. Oh, and they're randomly bleeding. No idea where they're bleeding from exactly. They are not suffering from blood loss... yet.
My main halls' floor have been entirely replaced with grates for my global mist generator.
I also have the policy of killing all FBs I see and not wall off access to the caverns.
Even with the water pouring and thorough abuse of dfcleanmap, the infection shows no sign of weakening.
I severely overestimated the hygienic quality of floor grates. As in I never bothered to deconstruct and reconstruct them.
I can not use magma, both because I physically cannot, and also because few grates are magma-proof.

In conclusion: I am an utter moron. But at least, I'm having FunŽ.

[Icee77]

Not Dorf fail, Overlord fail.

I just finished my entire fortress made of wood, when i see a pack of wolves. Naturally, i send in my wrestlers in to kill 'em. Unfortunately, one of the wrestlers was an obsidian dorf.....
COMMENCE FIRE.

I was panicking and making a moat when the fire reaches my fortress.
Then..... nothing. the wood doesn't burn, doesn't splode. Nothing.

[Lord Shonus]

Built walls are invulnerable except for cave-ins and dwarven children.

[Skadan]

I fac palmed myself a moment ago. Pulled the wrong lever almost drowned my entire fortress. With water... and goblins.. and trolls.. and carp.
Btw i must have the best mayor ever. He just mandated 1 barrel to be made. And he put an export ban on weapon racks. Just love him.

[Lord Shonus]

How did you even notice? A mandate like that would be fufulled instantly in many forts.

[Horizonblue]

Made a fortress that for about three years went on happily.
Then goblins just started rushing in.
Best part, my military retreated into the meeting room when the commander went on break.
Goblins followed, and so did FUN.

[twilightdusk]

How did you even notice? A mandate like that would be fufulled instantly in many forts.

Even instantly fulfilled mandates get listed for a while. I recently got a message saying "The mayor has issued a mandate" or whatever the announcement is, and looked in the nobles screen to find [Make Steel Goods: 3/3]
