Maybe sober-drunk relations are reversed for dwarfs?

[TolyK]

for !!science!! I'm starting a water fort.

with water traps as customary 

[Musashi]

I've noticed all the accounts of how stupid dwarves are, so...

If being drunk (which dwarves are all the time) dulls the senses in humans and makes them think poorly, shouldn't it do the same to dwarves? So, in theory, if we forced our dwarves to be sober all the time (Armok save them) shouldn't they make better choices and act like their brains aren't made of the rock they dig? It's brilliant!

Well, sober dwarfs ARE slower for some reason. Also, alcohol distracts them quite a lot. I'll also add that in their world full of llamas serial killers, psychopath carps, pointy-haired bosses, unspeakable horrors of the deep, worshipers of devils who brainwash kids into fighting for them, more unspeakable horrors of the deep, fey moods and possession that very well may eat away one's brain, and the horrid diseases brought by the previous mentioned unspeakable horrors of the deep... I would also need a lot of booze to function properly.

Cleaning up after a siege, some statues lining a bridge had gotten toppled. as I was rebuilding them, I realized I'd have to lower the bridge they had been blocking access to. When the coast is clear I order the lever pulled. 3 steps before it lowers, my Legendary +5 blacksmith walks under it. *Facepalm*

Decided to start a new fort recently; figured I'd have a go at trying out water power, so I pick a site crossing a minor river.
I know the site has an aquifer, and stone will be hard to come by.
I know the surroundings are prolifically forested, and have never heard a peep from elves about what I cut down.

So why do I proceed to pile a dozen logs on the wagon and not a single rock?

(I did manage to find some siltstone, but this is definitely going to be a learning experience about How To Break Through Aquifers)

Oh oh, i got a fort that got ambushed by goblins when a human caravan came along. I sent my axedwarf squad out, and they happily butched the little buggers(with no casualties! woo!), but oh what then? My computer crashed, so i lost about a season or two. I reloaded the fort, and again came the anticipated ambush. Again i happily sent my squad out. 4 casaulties, 3 seriously wounded, and 3 grief-stricken veterans. Because i forgot to make soap, the bed-ridden wounded died, sending those angst-ridden dorfs into a massive rampage throughout the fort, fully equipped in iron. Many died and I ended up abandoning the fort, damn those veterans D: (and damn this computer)

I just flooded my pump stack designed to drain flooded pump stack designed to drain 3 levels of my mine flooded due to small accident with levers and floodgates. And I flooded my room filled with levers connected with my floodgates, bridges and doors. I am waiting for winter.

A door was kept open because of some shit stuck in it. Directly responsible for the death of many dorfs during the last siege that would go through it instead of finding it locked and returning to safety. Following the steps of Boatmurdered, one FunŽ at a time. *facepalms*

[dwarfhoplite]

i designated huge bedroom level(for 102 dorfs) like 7 levels deep. my miners discovered underground cavern after first couple of strikes.

[Excedion]

Built a massive above ground fort with 7 deep moat all around with 2 level z high walls.

didnt realise that when digging the moat i'd dug out a murky pool which let anyone who could swim directly past all of my defenses. God damn giant toad riders....

[Musashi]

Good news: a soldier gained her title. Yay!
Bad news: she was injured for unknown reasons. Several fractures. Huh, alright.
Worse news: she died of an infection one week after being diagnosed.

*FACEPALMS*

[FrisianDude]

Parsing logs yielded this:

The militia commander attacks The Elephant but He rolls away!

a freaking ELEPHANT rolls? How ... acrobatic of him.

This is hilarious. I wonder how it managed to stop once it started rolling.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

A kobold thief just unleashed the demons upon my current fortress. He took the upright adamnatine blade that was holding them back. He didn't make it out alive, but the damage had been done.

This too, is hilarious. Did your troops kill the koboldigoldis?

[Samuel]

Due to the caverns being inexplicably very close to the surface, Rather than dig out a fortress, I'm just building a fortress in the caverns themselves.

This is proving to be very Fun.

My medical dwarf is getting lots of practise, and my mason is getting very good at making coffins.

Urist McShootsalot is out hunting a deer. Not a zombie deer, not a skeletal deer, a regular old deer. He puts about 40 *Goblin Bone Bolts* in it, before closing in on in, only to be struck down whilst standing next to his kill. The deer is fading in and out of consciousness, having taken several crossbow bolts to the legs, having both lungs punctured, and several internal organs ruptured.

With its dying breath, the deer kicked poor Urist in the head, killing him instantly, and then slipped out of consciousness for the last time.

*facepalm*

He couldn't just wait a few seconds, could he?
