Yes, and try to think about all those poor dwarfs that try to leave the tavern after drinking one too many..

The door is right there. See? I drew it with magic marker.

The symbol is called "the Anvil of Yawning", leading me to believe that they are picky when it comes to comedy, and are not amused by dropping anvils.  One has to wonder which incident was so very underwhelming that it would turn the entire mountainhome against violent slapstick and instead towards deceptive pranks.

I can't help but wonder if at some point in antiquity this dwarven civ somehow got their hands on a bunch of vintage Wile E. Coyote cartoons from our world and ended up incorporating them into their mythology.

It's actually pretty terrifying to think about having all of your fat melt off into grease because you started sweating too much.

Heh, might  be worth hiding the engravings. The tile's pretty cool for it too! Should be able to do it through the [d]esignation menu.

That is one of the coolest DF things I have seen so far. Very funny.

"leave the tavern??" "Drinking one too many???" "try to think?????" What language is this?

Absolutely hilarious, Bralbaard - didn't consider the engravings being sprites of doors until you mentioned it.

You can toggle it off in the inits somewhere - but I believe it just automatically hides them like the designation. So you'll still need to designate them as hidden to get rid of any current false doors.

i pulled up an adventurer save from a while ago, and went to check out a mountain titan shrine that was right next to a fortress. i think i spawned in that fortress, seen the shrine, went haha nope, and left to go save what ended up being a bunch of hippies to get experience.

i needn't have bothered.

After the fire had burned down all of the wooden next boxes on the surface, Mottled Petrel was reluctant to replace them with more wooden nest boxes. Instead, he placed the remaining store of wooden nest boxes in the dormitory for any aspiring koopa mothers.

The nest boxes were immediately overrun by helmet snakes.

After re-learning the dig from below trick using bridges, I had to deconstruct the bridge in order to channel the earth below it.  But then forgot to re-link the lever to the new bridge before flooding the upper bridge chamber with water.  The well remains dry...

A wrestler petitioned to live in my fort, then went to the caves to punch a GCS. Guess what happened.

He sonic slapped his palm into the GCS's face, killing it instantly and emerging victorious from an exemplary facepalm moment?

A water buffalo successfully defended an empty.fortress site against my.squad.

It did this defense successfully 4 times.

This water buffalo has killed 7 dwarves.

After clear-cutting the surface, the woodcutters were enabled for wood hauling.  5 years later, the surface was again designated to be clear cut, but for 5 full months, the woodcutters would just cut 1 tree, then spend the bulk of their time just hauling logs...  Not terribly tragic, but it has put a stop to the willow wood construction project.
