How did you're fort fall.  Elves? Magma? Both? I want to know how most forts die!! If you have an "Other" vote then describe it please.

[DarthCloakedDwarf]

Goblin sieges are easy to deal with. Just raise the drawbridges and watch them sit helplessly outside with their grubby hands in their pockets.

Goblin ambushes, on the other hand... suffice it to say things can get difficult when they suddenly appear inside your fort.

[Eagle_eye]

tantrum spirals.... bad memories... very bad.

[Eidako]

I've lost more forts to FPS than to any horror of the deep.

[Cheddarius]

You should add the options FPS, as Eidako said, and Boredom(get Dig Deeper).

[Asellus]

Skeletal deer. Every time a Skeletal deer shows up, my fort dies. Every single time.

[Indricotherium]

Yeah, Other, to me, reads as FPS, Boredom and Repeated Crashes.

Mine last one fell to the last named.

[Rafal99]

Low FPS, boredom, or simply more interest in new fort with new ideas.

[doctorspoof]

/hops on the FPS bandwagon

[loser]

FPS
Boredom
Disinterest
planning failures

[Old-one-eye]

FPS
Idea for new fort.
Deliberately caving-in my meeting hall from boredom and watching the tantrum spiral.

[Shurikane]

I abandon after I've completed my fort's goal and posted the screenshots.    FPS is often a hurdle though.

I almost lost a fort to a modded beast followed by a tantrum spiral, but miraculously recovered.  It was one of my favorite moments of dwarven play, and to see the fort covered in blood everywhere was awesome.

Then I got six megabeasts and had to figure out how to survive for years on end with the entrance completely sealed off and the traders progressively hating me for failing to protect them.

[moki]

FPS and boredom. My first few forts died from water and not understanding z-levels, but that was a long time ago.

[Sorcerer]

my own goddamn sense of perfection

what.. oh shit! that one room five floors down does not ALIGN TO THE MAIN STAIRCASE! NOOOOO!

[Niloc]

 Hmm, in order:

• [40d] Oh god how did I get here, I'm not good with dwarf fortress!
• How did the tutorials say how to start a farm?
• Yay, I have food.  Why is everyone thirsty?
• Channeling, looks cool.  Wait, didn't I just cut into my moat?  Water everywhere!
• Alright, things are going great!  Oh, ambush?  Why the hell don't I have perfect cloaking technology?!
• Traps?  How do you use traps?
• See 4 like 5 more times.
• "No, you don't want to demand that!  Oh, don't tantrum on me!  I'll take you right out of this restaurant fort!"
• 5 or so stupid mistakes I thought back then were game-ending.
• It's a tower of magma! It's glorious!
• Wait, I forgot to bring a pick?  What kind of mistake is that?!
• Let's make a dam!  Oops, water drains off the edge, and my FPS is 2.
• [DF2010]Immortal megabeast vs. immortal crippled dwarf.
• Macaques just ran off with all my equipment!
• Ok, so I need trees.  Let's flood 3 full z-levels.  FPS=2.
• Current: I'm going to build the fist of Armok!

A little bit of everything.  I'll probably vote "Other'.
