Urist McWeaponsmith has a Fey Mood! Happiness and excitement all around.

Lead short sword. At least when someone is struck with the flat of the blade it will hurt.

Damn, that is awful. I feel your pain man! My armorsmith got into a mood and made a soap shield

It's for waging war on dirt and grime! :awesomeface:

In all seriousness, what if that soap shield was utilized whilst fighting a FB with deadly, deadly, syndrome... in a flooded chamber? With a constant soapy bath in battle, no dwarf will die of disease!

I had a facepalm moment.

I was building a well above ground I built walls and stairs and designated a pond the dorfs filled it to five out of seven.

It then stayed like that quite a while I eventualy noticed the dorfs (filling pond) would go to the platform round the well get the bucket then pick up water from the well and put it back in WHAAAAAT.

Turns out I had water zones only but no zone so they were just getting the closest water they couldnt reach it till it got to five.

Them dorfs are stupid,also wow bloodstones are not worth much even cut.

Just crushed two dwarves and a baby because they rushed under the for atomsmasher just after I'd ordered its lever pulled.  Really should've made sure the stones being destroyed were set as forbidden...>.>

[Callista]

Solution for that one is to dump things in from the level above, and have the level below enclosed by walls (with optional door to rescue accidentally dumped items). That way your dwarves can't get under the atom-smasher unless they're stupid enough to dodge in from above.

[Clutzy]

Still trying to figure out how to channel properly so water can come to lower levels (and eventually create fabulous waterfalls for the meeting areas). Proceeded to flood the entirety of Manorbell. /FACEPALM

[automaticsquid]

improperly designated an area to be channeled the resulting cave in lost me 1 legendary miner and got the other lost in a cave so long that when he came back he went berserk using his steel pick and incredible skill to murder a ton of dwarfs. this of course led to the spiral that ended my fort.

Spent 50+ minutes carefully matching skills to dwarves at embark window... and forgot to bring items

[Niccolo]

Embarked on a lovely flat plain with a huge-ass river running straight through the centre - I was going to make a massive, sprawling city devoted to trade. It had clay, sand, no aquifer, plenty of water - in other words, my perfect site.

Then I discovered why nobody else had come here before; pack of badgers on one side, pack of skeletal badgers on the other, river between me and safety.

Everyone died.

Had a good bit of fun then I take it?

Well, no. It wasn't that fun, sadly - I like the Fun Fairy to visit me just a little bit later in my fortress' life.

Fair enough. Sounds like it would've been a great place regardless, if it were, y'know. Sans the angry balls of fur, hate, and skeleton.

[Tiruin]

I embarked on a terrifying biome. Built up defenses and a couple of founder militia. They drove off those gargoyles and Ogres with the power of copper.

Then I began digging a few z-levels in, making stairs to find some metals for forging (already set up for my nice above-ground fort).

Then I breached the caverns. Not long after that (Start of Autumn, First year), and FB trudges in with it's...poison.

It massacred my 15 dwarves.

Embarking on a volcano in the middle of a tundra, and playing for 3 years, during which much of my time was building up in preparation for Goblins to come attack me...before I bothered to check and see that there are, in fact, no Goblin civilizations in this world, or at least not any near enough to bother me. So much work preparing for goblins to come...all for nothing.
