I decided to let my recruits engage in a little casual murder by stabbing a particularly annoying diplomat to death.

This did not work so well. I left them in peace for a minute or two while reading webcomics and when I came back, everyone was either dead, dying, or running in fear and terror from what was apparently the most badass diplomant ever.

Then came the tantrum spiral.

Deciding to fight a forgotten beast on the long thin platform I had built across the underground lake. I wanted to meet it before it got into the stairwell to save the civilians, but unfortunately I lost 3 of my best military drwarves as they promptly dodged or got knocked off the narrow bridge to drown. The FB also killed another 2 before it was taken down. I would much rather have had the beast slaughterer a few civilians and interrupt a few jobs than lose half of my crack military squad in which all my best dwarves are assigned.

I spent 3 hours learning and playing through the techniques required to puncture a three-leveled aquifer, only to find once all the work was done that it was four-leveled. 

You might be able to get through it using this method:

A dwarf just fell 23 z-levels... onto a coffin. How convenient.

Some dwarves are just more efficient than others.

To be fair, it took some time to collect all the other pieces.

was it a dwarven liaison or a other race diplomat?

Dwarven... hence the spiral, I'm guessing? Huh.

Okay, double facepalm.

[Lord Shonus]

Yeah, You made the dwarves that killed the diplomat enemies of your civilization. I'm pretty sure that anyone who attacked them then became enemies of your civilization because the soldiers were both members and enemies. then anyone who attacked those dwarves...

[candylord]

Oh god, I've done that before
Its even more !!fun!! when you do it with a military composed of 60 dwarves, all legendary +5 in shield, dodge, armor user, fighter and their weapon of choice...
The battle is surprisingly short, I expected it to be longer considering how they're all +5 in shield and dodge...
still, it was epic while it lasted

Yet to make that particular error... I guess you haven't really played DF properly until you've flooded at least one fortress.

I facepalmed recently when a gang of murderous, bloodthirsty goblins tore through my fledgling fortress. I don't know where the bloody hell they came from, but I was yet to be a year old and they murdered my dwarves like they were kittens.

Deserved!
