Hullo, welcome to the Dwarfin Awards, were we give out awards for dwarfs who have kill/badly injured themselves/others, this is like the DARWIN AWARDS of real life, except, people aren't retarded like dwarfs...
Also, if your dwarfs haven't have kill/badly injured themselves/others, what (if you did) did you do to them, like, what did you do to that Noble who wanted a SLADE door?
What do you think of the idea?
Yours,
Comrade 'Joseph' Gr33kjester

heh I love the Darwin Awards, Dwarfin Awards however may be a little tricky.  Just because every dwarf qualifies like all the time.

Miners who dont know how to channel without dropping themselves in
Engravers who run the wrong way (or not at all) from the lava they just tapped

and so on

[Internet Kraken]

I nominate every single one of my soldiers that jumped in the ocean to fight zombies and then forgot they could swim.

[nordak]

Internet Kraken, all of your dwarves from townbrush qualify. 

I would like to nominate my captain of the guard who earned the name Stylishprisons after punishing every living dwarf with his bronze morningstar.  Remember, tantrum spirals are fun.

[Dariush]

Every dwarf ever who built a floodgate or a wall from the wrong side.

That is amazing... shows that df dwarves aren't dumber than humans...

hehehe, at least the dwarf masons have the sense to remove the wall they put up to lock emselves in rather than trying to 'mine' their way out.

Bet while that guy repairs the damage he did to his neighbours wall he pulls the same stunt again

Shouldn't it be "Dwarvin Awards"?

I propose that only people who perform acts of outstanding stupidity be nominated for the award. Like a multilegendary wrestler losing a fight to a goblin lasher because he wrestled off the gobbo's thong and tried to beat him to death with it.

[slothen]

I nominate my legendary miner who had never before cleaned a tile in his life.  As soon as I turned the magma pumps on, he detected 'dust' from molten rock in the intake, and immediately ran and jumped in to clean it up.

[Serio]

Seeing as this is Dwarf Fortress, shouldn't the Dwarfin Award go to the dwarf that doesn't manage to get him/herself killed in the most awkward/dumbest/painful way?

[nordak]

Comrade, can you update the opening post to reflect all nominees and winners of the dwarfin award?

I had a dwarf who did this in early 2010, only it was just against a minor ambush.  He wasn't killed outright, but he was injured and retired to bed.  This was the hermit in what I was trying to make a hermit fort, only I was constantly drowning in immigrants, whose only task was to dispose of the crap left behind by the previous wave.  I'd finally finished an atom smasher to remove them cleanly, and decided I would allow one of them to live to care for the injured dwarf.  "Okay, whichever one of you volunteers to come out and pull the lever gets to live."  One of them ran out, pulled the lever, and ran back in just in time to be crushed with the rest.  Smooth.

Pretty sure he did this just to spite you.
