Building wall and tower (covered with roof) to kill goblins standing on wall , then siege with [FLIER] tag arrived and decided to sit on top of roofed tower, scaring everyone in entire fort.

One long, winding trapped to buggery (or sealable) kill corridor will make fliers path into it because they are retarded and nullifies any and all damage flying actually does. Except flying megabeasts like rocs. They full well know your wall is weak and they will exploit it.

Setting an area to be sealed off in preparation for becoming a magma cistern, getting distracted for a day, then next day just turning on the pumps without checking it.  2 babies, 4 dwarves, and a bucketload of kittens died instantly because they were walled in

Carve out a massive pit and construct a copper block tower! Challenge those goblin bastards with your phallus of justice!

Dear Urist McButtfuck.

I know that my axedwarf if complaining about mismatched equipment and i appreciate you picking up his axe he refuses to use, despite the fact it is masterwork adamantine. I know you wan't to chase after the guy who got the mithril cleaver from the slade tower. I KNOW that you are a bit stupid. But for the love of god must you strip the adamantine gauntlets and boots off the other guys after removing the station and they briefly revert to the civvie professions and then DROP THEM ON THE FLOOR before walking away. The undead will enjoy their gifts at any rate.

Sincerely, your apoplectic Overseer.

Wrong thrad but applicable..

I just recently remembered that the wooden spike trap components are NOT good for use in a danger zone.

I remembered this because of what happened when I activated it.

Now if you'll excuse me, I'm off to find 3 new militia member and to rename that room the 'Extra Danger Room'

Well that went better than expected.  He went nuts and punched a rabbit to death, then the dogs and the whole dining hall ripped him to shreds.

My Horse Foal is no longer enraged.

WTF?

And why does Mommy Horse have a bruised brain?

Check Reports....

Apparently, Bulls don't get along well with other animals...

well, I did my first stone layer aquifer fort, I wanted to drain out a non-aquifer soil layer, and got some hatches in case it actually was an aquifer layer... turns out I sealed my fort with water, at which then tried to fix by raging and trying to break the covers with a mudstone tower I built over the hollow the plug (to strike beneath the watery death) left, didn't work out and killed a master miner...
your settlement was abandoned

Two of my starting seven are now dead, with another seriously injured, due to my inability to make a mist generator.  *Facepalm*

Any thoughts on how this can be abused?
Around these parts It's called weaponized.

Wait. They are dead due to badly designed construction of mist generator?

"and now all thats left is to pierce the aquifer...."
The simple Fun of water-pressure.

Incidentally an experiment with damp-stone lead to a room being flooded to 7/7 and being forever sealed off with a bulging, soggy, leaking door. I imagine a simple sign in runes "Do not open, ever, aquatic fort-death herein"

My MALE Militia captain named the squad "the helmed women". I'm now extremely concerned about him(her?)

Most people's relationship with Dwarf Fortress is akin to Stockholm Syndrome.

He and/or she may have a problem. Check his relationships.
