Heh, this is a new photo, but it's funny how we get the insane carp pic/video thread every six months or so.  There's that one in Thailand (?), then there's the one in the American Midwest where Asian Carp are an invasive species, and they just jump at boats in huge swarms and...

Well, to be fair, this is a much more handsome carp than those.

Obviously, he's reached legendary in Carp. The man in the picture? That's his pet.

Wait, what.
WAIT, WHAT.
WAIT, WHAT.

I've... gotta go. And they called me mad to build an underground carp shelter! Well, who's laughing NOW?! Enjoy the human holocaust, perpetrated by the carp overlords, FOOLS!

Think of it like Sim City, except with rival mayors that seek to destroy your citizens by arming legions of homeless people and sending them to attack you.

In 2010 Ogoo McManlypants tamed the giant carp of the Lake of Hammerings.

Underground carp shelter?

You'd better hope your passages are diagonal.

When Toady implements boats, you'll be able to go fishing like these guys.

Also, obviously, magma avalanches and tsunamis weren't exactly a contingency covered in the mission briefing.
I can assure you that Ardentdikes is not the first fortress to be flooded with magma. What's unusual is that we actually meant to flood it with magma.

Asian Carp: Can't Beat Them? Eat Them

Quote
The foreign invaders can grow to be 80 to 100 pounds.
They're ravenous eaters, consuming up to 40 percent of their own body weight in plankton each day.
And they're bullies, pushing out weaker, native species.

I, for one, welcome our skittish carp overlords.

And now I really, desperately cannot wait until Toady gives us boats. Fishing will FINALLY be a skill worth keeping.

Fishing is currently a skill worth keeping. It both weeds out the weak dwarves and provides useful goods for your fortress.

It only weeds out the weak now if you brought back killer carp.
