Not sure.

I was doing masterwork.

I'm also shitty with leatherworking, so if my mayor mandates anything involving leather, Insta facepalm, leathers my worst enemy in terms of resources.

I just embarked on a river running straight through the middle. The wagon was next to the river.

As soon as I unpause the game, my miner drowned.

At least silver can be used for weapons. Make shiny expensive furniture, wait for goblins to attack, smelt goblinite for iron.

I accidentally forbid the wrong door in my hatchery complex. Instead of hatching a single clutch of Giant Cave Swallows, I hatched four clutches of Cave Crocodiles in the room across the hall. Cave crocodile hatchlings have hatched x4 = 179 Cave Crocodile Hatchlings.

Bastiongate survived a titan attack in year two because I had about a thousand silver bolts to pump into it.

My guys keep having halucinations even though the water source is just normal water.

Urist McDrugExpert, please report to tell us what kinda drugs were dumped in the river...

(I made a well to try and fix this)

Makes a path to underground caverns.

Things get killed by screwin with my dwarves (Facepalm pending)

Miasma.(Facepalm

All is fine. Oh wait, a troll..

Troll just stands there(Menacingly)
Near my door, out of reach

Places cage traps for inevitable approac...
Troll rushes in, likely breaking the sound barrier, as soon as the door opens for the cage trap to be put in.(facepalm 2)

Rats aproach. (facepalm 3
 
Rats find a path to jump over the Mexican Cave border wall. thats 10 more feet for the wall -urist mctrump (Facepalm 4)
Rush troll, phew another facepalm averted, and they carried it away...

When I was new, one of the first things I encountered was a werebeast. I figured it would go away and just leave me alone, so I just kept setting up my fort.

Nope. It attacked and did some real damage, but I figured "no big deal, I'll just get a hospital, and be prepared next time by learning how to set up a militia".

Little did I know that those who got hurt would turn back into werebeasts later... including a dwarf I put on my militia.

Very !!Fun!!.

T'was the fate of my first fort. Not helped by the later goblin siege.  By the end of it, there was one kid left. I abandoned the fortress after that.

my first dead fortress was like that, but I thought I was more prepared
We rushed and killed the werebeast, no casualties, oh fuck, a few wounded. That's fine, I'll just secure the means of seperating hospital and fort.

And this is how I also learned to use raising bridges instead of floodgates.

I just choose a room as the "hospital", then wall off the room. If none turn, in a month, I can dig out the wall and let 'em out, but usually it's pretty obvious that they're infected. Then, (bonus!) I have an unkillable fort.
