This sounds made up but it really happened to me.. I spend hours of mining and building on my new cliff side fort when I accidentally disconnected the entire fort from the cliff and well you can guess what happened.

Your computer was found on the street?

About 1 fps for half an hour? Lots of Fun? Massive Damage?

Just had fire imp fat smoldering in my butcher's shop and marked as dump and caught 3 dwarves on fire and burned all my liquor...... oh the humanity!!!!

What a shame. All that booze lost, before its time. The dwarven scotch wasn't even 5 years old yet!  This is one of the reasons I'm very careful about dealing with imps.

Booze was made to burn.

causing a cave-in over a magma pipe to 'see what happens' then found out 10 z levels down that I had dug right up along the magma pipe, and the cave-in punctured the roof through all that magma, which sent red hot death flowing through my living quarters

Epic!

How the hell did that happen?

Unless I miss my guess, it was a result of trying to "prettify" the edges by mining out natural tiles and replacing them with constructed walls.  I've done this many times, occasionally dropping small chunks off the side and feeling like a fool.  To do it with a whole fort....  Spectacular.  If you have a save from a few frames before the...incident..., you should distribute it so that people can use it to benchmark processors.

Well, there's always Project Cube.

I think the most facepalm-deserving moment(s) I have had were when I had to build, and then take apart and reconstruct my magma pumping system (which ran halfway across the map) not once, but twice, even building a power plant for it, only to find that it didn't work...and that there was nothing I could do to make it work.

It took a 100+ dwarf fortress over two years of game time to do it, too. =P

[Papa Cauldur]

I had a really awesome sight once. It had a chasm, a bottomless pit, a magma pipe and lots of trees. Until my Fisherdwarf became a !!Fisherdwarf!!. the Fire imps caused a massive forest fire that made me lose all my booze (Because I was still digging out the dining room, my Woodcutter, Jeweler and Stoneworker.

But on a positive note my Fish Cleaner gave those imps a major asskicking.

I would feel silly too.

Smooth and engrave, just smooth and engrave.

My latest was forgetting that magma only acts like water when it is a continuous stream to an operating pump and that a magma fall needs a drainage pipe larger than the inlet flow.

Previous to that I forgot that stone furniture melts, resulting in the loss of several ( 6) masterpiece statues.

Not noticing why my dwarfs keep dying, then i decide to follow the odd looking parade and realize they were going across the map to fetch water for two lightly injured wrestlers, lost about five of the most important dwarwes that way, including my metalworkers, outpost broker and leader and my only expirienced bowyer.
