I butchered yak in evil biome and it came alive and killed me dorves.
Ohfck! Is it real?!

Indeed.
Teeth, hair, untanned hides, bones brobably.
Damn near everything will reanimate if it isn't precessed fast enough.

WTF that is ludicrous. Undead need to be nerfed O_O

So, tried to embark next to a volcano for magma power... Prepped with emphasis on quick mining, brought an abundance of food and timber (due to the lack of forestation), overall heavily dependent on an early metal industry via the magma... And as soon as I embark, there is a cave-in directly underneath the volcano, leading straight down into HFS, at which point not only did I not get the magma power since it flooded into HFS, but after the lava slowed, demons began pouring out. Losing is fun indeed.

So... Dwarves in terrifying zones are all vegetarians?

I would imagine all thier meat is imported...
Man, I would hate having a piece of jerky slap me around.

Holy crap, why did I not start watching One Punch Man earlier? This is the best thing.
probably figured an autobiography wouldn't be interesting

Giant Mosquitos, eh? I thought to myself with no small measure of distain; peering down my nose at the triple-digit army spread throughout a dozen z-levels just next to my fledgling fort. Well, if there's that many of them all in one wave and this early, I doubt they pose much of a threat! Militia-Dwarves, go get yourselves some practice against these weaklings! Show them the might of the Children of Armok!

...yeah. Ended about as badly as you'd figure. Didn't even know Dwarves HAD that many limbs. >.> Also yes, yes, I know; bad picture is bad.

A man would see that as a difficult challenge.
An elf would see that and despair.
A dwarf would see that and say, "Bring it on."

This image would be perfectly accurate if you added a few more mosquitoes.

I tried to sacrifice every dwarf to Armok rather that see them falling under the siege, but these motherfuckers just kept running in circles.
 - Yes, I will stand on that bridge and will enjoy this glorious death in the magma... wait, I'm gonna take a bite before I die... fuck no I should be at that burrow right now!

There is a finely-engraved image of Ascimator on the wall. Ascimator is slapping himself in the face. The artwork relates to the loss of the only anvil in Perplextombs in the late winter of 6.

Embarked on a terrifying forest. Use the stone I brought with me to wall off my wagon and make a floor hatch so I had a 1 z-level tower. Started digging down while watching the zombie giant tit-somethings eat everything on the map. Built a up/down stair on the surface so I could build battlements to shoot zombies. I got distracted and some zombies in so I locked the hatch. Thought my fort was safe but forgot that the stairway I'd built on the surface had connected itself to the dug stairs on the z-level below it. They go in and killed everyone.

Started again. Doing the same except there's only ONE way in.

I didn't think twice about making my Legendary +5 Miner with her Copper Pick a Baroness. I just didn't notice the change in Nobility untill she went berserk and killed two dwarves in a tantrum... I was not on time to meet her demands so she herself went completely crazy and starved herself to death...

Next time I am going to propose the most useless and weak peasant I can find...

My ... dwarves just elected a vampire into the mayor's office. Several weeks after she was found out and convicted for two murders.

I don't know anymore.  :-[

What, did you think that Count Dracula inherited his position? :P

On topic: Didn't check the forum on Valentine's Day. Idly checked my watched threads after work the next day... 20 pages?!?!? Crap, I missed the release, didn't I?

So it turns out that dumping magma on skeletons is either a really bad idea or maybe like the best idea ever.

One: NEW RELEASE??!! :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D WHERE??!! (FP 1)

Two: Playing with Genesis mod, get sieged by Beastmen when I had 38 dorfs. Win, but go down to 23. After five minutes, I yell "STUFF THIS! TO THE ADAMANTINE VEIN!" But I had forgotten where it was, and it didn't appear on [a] because of the job cancellations (see above: Siege) (FP 2). I find about three others, NONE WERE HOLLOW! (FP 3) SO i dug down to hell, and let all hell break loose.

I did NOT intend that pun. (FP 4)  ::)

Edit:Demons decimating fort, half of living dwarves severly injured...
A dorf caravan is here! Meh, where be the Brine Devils? Oh, there's one--
The Forgotten Beast Ath Sosmzuzar has come! UGH TOADY YOU MASOCHIST

When I ordered my Urist McHunterMilitiaCommander to kill the berserk cook who didn't get his shells, I wondered why was he just punching him. Then I realized that if there is no squad uniform set for the dorf, he will not wear any.
I do not remember if he went and stashed his hunter crossbow or simply decided not to use it. Punched to his death. Good thing I had another ranger.
