What about solving the age old question of how to leave a fort with out abandoning it?
Or the minor one of how to keep items in abandon fort/area from scattering?

plumphelmetpunk and Deon should be added for their contributions to DF one for playing other mods/toady versions of DF and the other for creating the mod that many love to play and still grows to this day.

Deon (and TomiTapio) for making awesome mods. I'm surprised he isn't mentioned yet ^^

Definitely this guy; http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=75780.0

...let me get this straight.

You first blockaded your entire landmass, planting statues along the edging to prevent any wildlife from entering, disrupting the migration habits and breeding of local terrestrial creatures, as well as probably annoying caravans to no end.

Then, you drained the ocean so that you could attempt to catch TWO animals only, with supermassive whales and sharks as a mere byproduct and entire freestanding structures in the middle of the ocean being mere attempts.  And after all this, you're still capable of draining the entire ocean at will.

Now, do it again.  Except add [AMPHIBIOUS] and [TRAP_AVOID] to the serpents!

DF sets out a challenge to us with no explanation and no assistance, and each time we fail it becomes more merciless, but we continue in the hopes that we can show it, "See?  I'm doing good, right?  I kept the little men alive!  You're proud of me, right?"

I'm pretty shore that HFS usually wins dwarf fortress. You have to remember that Dwarf Fortress is NOT JUST a single player game.

I've updated the OP, removed the major/minor victory distinction and provided a good format for nominations.  I won't be doing any more listings myself if I can, so make sure to get it all in the right format.  I will not be accepting any nominations that do not provide a link to the project's thread.  I might do some more organization by type later though, if we get enough listings, or maybe a breakdown between the different kinds of victory. (I have a vauge method already, but it's based on intuition and very much arbitrary.)

It's "itnetlolor"
Even my name is visible in-thread, and it still gets misspelled/mispronounced. :P

Jackassery aside, thanks for the addition into the list anyway despite my non-self-nomination.

Another spelling error I noticed is myriad is spelled wrong. It's not miriad.

EDIT:
"Ship to Centauri" is supposed to be a Civilization reference, if I'm not mistaken, correct?

EDIT EDIT:
I also updated my latest post in the Bloodfist thread regarding it's successor (no uneccessary necroing there please). Questions about Bloodaxe, go it it's thread instead (also linked in the first post of the Bloodfist project thread). Bloodaxe's project page has also gotten a more proper update now.

Copperblazes is a winner from 23a. I mean, there was basically nothing left to do when the adamatium was mined out.

You got a forum link for that?  I wanted to include it before, from the legends thread, but I wanted the forum thread if possible.  Plus, I need the guy's forum profile link.


Oh, one more thing: to make it clear, this thread is for nominating People, not Projects.  So, Boatmurdered isn't a nominee, but Evilslug might be one.  I'm still on the fence with how to go with community forts. (Maybe a "Cooperative Victory" or something...)

PS: the reason I ask for the project link is because I can always use that to get to the nominee's forum profile, while I can only do the reverse if he has said project in his sig (most do, but some have moved onto other projects since then).

PPS @Itnetlolor: yes it is, in-game it's called a scientific victory but that's taken by the dorfputers; technically you have a megaproject victory.
