That would be just now. When I set an order to lower a bridge at the same time as I set an alert to retreat during a siege, then Urist McTriggerhappy decides to go and pull it after I call the all clear, crushing 11 dwarves.

Found out yesterday I DIDN'T have to designate each bedroom to an individual dwarf :')

[CaptainBadwheel]

Had a Miner stuck in traction for THREE YEARS. His profile said he was slow to heal, so I assumed...that...well anyway, back to work you.

Sigh.. Latest artifact I've made was a big facepalm moment. Smith claims an anvil to use to make an artifact. I'm sitting here wondering what he's gonna make, and it turns out to be a silver anvil. with a image of a silver anvil on it.

I just lost an hour's work of careful floor-laying to a game crash.  For the second time tonight.  (thankfully i wasn't as far back this time)

[Komra]

So you had a mood invent electroplating? nice.

[nightwhips]

Walled in a mason making animal powered watchtowers. Didn't realize. Spend a bit of time figuring out how to get him out. No one wants to do it... finally they do. He's trying to hunt vermin in a 1x1 space. Finally the mason gets the wall down. I start dealing with migrants. "Urdim McReallyThirsty has died of thirst". Half way to the dining hall.

I forgot to stock up on silk and had a military dwarf get a mood then go berserk, he killed two clothiers and bit a baby to death.  When my military got there a swordsdwarf cut off both his arms but he still bit a speardwarf (a one-handed speardwarf at that) and shaking him around for three whole pages throwing in a few kicks here and there. Finally the guy bled to death.  Berserk dwarf in Exceptional Steel Plate=bad.

My Circus Bunker is demon-proof thanks to everyone having to enter via a floorhatch above them and going down a staircase.  It would help if I'd remembered to lock all the hatches.

A rat monster is beating on an unconcious wrestler.  With a pig tail fiber mitten.  Every blow is deflecting off his cotton candy helm

[FrisianDude]

Maybe I should do that as well, yeah.


Also, Zefon somethingsomething the Bone Carver got badgered into a small muddy pool and drowned a few seconds before a Dwarf opened the pool. Her body was destroyed by the flow which is really odd because it was six or seven tiles of 7/7 water at most. Oh well, I'll slab her anyway.

Her body isnt destroyed, just hidden. You'll still find her and all her clothing and equipment in the stockpile menus, you can unforbid them, and your Dwarves will haul them away. Happened to me too with a warrior in all-steel, took me a while to figure it out! 

You sure? I can't find her.  Neither among corpses nor body parts. Edit, woops, there she is. Not forbidding or anything.

I had one of my archers fall down my dodge-em trap from the balcony above. I really need to install some handrails.

The murky pools do that. Are you sure the body and equipment arent forbidden? I have had that happen now twice in this fort: someone dies in murky pool, the pool is dried, but all the stuff is missing (and temperature=off so the water doesnt freeze either). Looking around with the "k" and nothing. Unforbidding the stuff in the stockpile menu, and dwarves come dig them up and haul away.

[Communist adventure]

I had a catspolsion (i should've remembered to unpause when i go to the bathroom) and all the dwarfs now have a pet and i demand one to butcher another guys cat to decrease the problem then they start fighting injuring other cats. Then everybody gets mad about there cat getting hurt and start killing each other causing more cats to get hurt etc etc. Then goblins come in and snatch all the kids while killing a couple of dwarves and then eventually all the dwarves killed each other.

Losing isn't fun all the time

Losing isn't fun all the time

Then you just aren't losing hard enough.
Anyways, in my current fort, I was busy ordering my entire fortress to mine out a huge vein of magnetite I found. All 12 of them were happily digging out ore to turn into iron. Unfortunately, I mined the wrong rock, and caused a cave-in that killed them all.
