Glassmaker gets fey mood, and we have no sand.

We've already dug his grave, and locked the room where the Glass furnace is. First Mood of the year, I should add. First mood, and we can't get anything from it. With the Werechameleon attack a few months earlier, I'm gonna take that as a bad omen.

"The Broker bites the Giant Grey Squirrel in the teeth [...]"

Dude, we need you at the de-

"The Recordskeeper bites the Giant Grey Squirrel in the left lower incisor [...]"

Stop snogging that giant squirrel and get to the depot, we have-

"The giant grey squirrel collapses and falls to the ground from over-exertion."

DOOD.  STAHP.

Probably too late to matter for this dorf, but all the glass moods I've seen wanted raw glass as the first component. It's super cheap to buy from traders and you could probably even bring a few on embark. The game counts it as a gem for storage purposes.

Picked the wrong moment to test a lever I'd just connected to a retracting stone bridge, led to a fisherdwarf almost drowning XD.

Reminds me of an incident I had where a wrong lever pull resulted in almost everyone drowning. In magma.

[PlumpHelmetMan]

In what possible way is that a WRONG lever pull? Sounds pretty right to me.

[Fleeting Frames]

Well, they should be burning, for starters. If any were vampires, you'd run the trouble of annoying retrieval operation.

Also, sudden random gameover screen isn't generally fun to watch.

[PlumpHelmetMan]

Well he did say ALMOST everyone, so as long as at least someone survived there shouldn't have been a gameover screen AFAIK.

I improperly constructed my magma forge,  and I didn't discover this until my legendary armor and weapon smiths as well as 3 other dwarves were unfortunately... Incinerated.

[StagnantSoul]

"Oh no, the magma's overflowing... Hey, I'll just use this guy sitting in the tavern to dig a channel down to drain it!" The dwarves have discovered a cavern deep underground.

[wertyzerty]

Ok. First time drilling through an aquifer, decide to have two pumps running. End up kind of overfilling the aquifer, (i don't know how I did that too.), anyway, half of the first floor is flooded. Restart the fort, because the mud on the floor was pissing me off. Second try with one pump: some idiot decides to try to SLEEP in the hole that the pump is sucking from... IDK how he survived.

Oh wow. Did that just drain magma into the caves?

I forgot the lever that opened clown breeding program to the outside world and the one that closed my gate for a siege, thankfully the goblins kept them busy for the most part, still lost 20 dwarves dropping my popilation to 100 and migrants seem to have stopped coming as my dead dwarves have jumped to over 300 now.

My mayor has a thing for amulets and frequently forbids their export after a load has been dumped on the trade caravan, but before they leave the map. This tends to result in a lot of dwarves (who have nothing to do with the crafting industry nor trade) doing jail time. First time I've seen the mayor sentence the Captain of the Guard though.

The real facepalm here is I appointed a deputy so the CoG could be arrested, hoping for a hilarious cancel message, but he finished his current arrest mere moments before the deputy got to him and decided to eat instead of making another.

So one time I set up a lovely little training arena for my militia, designed expressly to toughen them up. Diagonal ledges over soft sand floors, so they Dodge and fall in their armor. Hooked up to a, um... Mandatory swimming pool, so they have to learn to swim, and also build some muscle? The entryway was sealed by a raising bridge.

Everything was all set up and ready to go. I checked to see that they were all inside and gave the order to throw the lever and seal off and flood the place. Right before the lever was thrown, my militia captain decided it would be a great time to duck out and eat, and of course the timing was just right to get himself smashed into nothingness by the bridge. I literally smacked my forehead. He was wearing my best armor and was the most trained dorf in the fort...
