The next guy will get 80% of the population killed through negligence, regardless of and detrimental to the massive improvements you achieved in your time, if my turn is an example.

[MagmaMcFry]

And then it's my turn.

Does that take into account the average of 45% casualties expected through my worksite negligence and accidents?

[Eric Blank]

Maybe not...

[armeggedonCounselor]

Well, obviously, any turn that something goes right, the next turn the overseer pulls all the levers in the big room marked "DO NOT TOUCH, FOR THE LOVE OF ARMOK!" And thus, Fun happens. Maybe the lever releases all the cats from their cages, maybe they release the Happy Fun Stuff, maybe they just randomly raise or lower all the bridges in the fortress at just the right time to crush Urist McIncrediblyPopular, Urist McManicDeppressive's 14 cats, and the baby of Urist McIncrediblyPowerfulChampion.

That's why succession fortresses are the most fun to play or read.

Or the next player will turn the project of their predecessor into a doomsday device.

Or throwaway the control levers/notes for using some important part of the fortress. Or fill a whole room with levers, none of which are labelled and thus crippling the fortress because all the controls to the gates and such are in there.

At that point it's plenty of ‼FUN‼.

I actually did that for the gate lever in Failcannon. Then added a trap lever with a note saying it was the gate one. Then Failday happened and my sabotage was turned useless.

I turned the fortress into several pointless doomsday devices, well, with some help. Does that count?

You've done all this stuff, and you haven't said anything about how you've done it...

I wanted to keep some secrecy, and there wasn't anything interesting happening apart from my constructs. But long story short, I jury-rigged several deathtraps (more) to the Hall of Spite, and I'm planning of setting them off tonight. Sorry, EmeralWind, you'll hate me, once you get some way of getting rid of the water that may or may not be laced with FB secretions.

We don't shoot ourselves in the foot!  That implies that we have the presence of mind to carry a loaded weapon, which clearly isn't the case.  The Battlefailed saga is so dangerous that a weapon would make logical sense, so we obviously must not have one. 

No, what we do is much more akin to dipping our collective foot into magma, realizing that it burns horribly, then sticking it back in repeatedly out of spite.

I imagine it more like this.

Ok. It's late winter. I'm pulling the levers (all of them) and proceeding to save the game. Sadly, my last update and the save will be posted on thursday, because that day it's my last exam and I want to totally ace that thing.
It's everybody alright with this?
Sorry for being a drag, and for hoarding the save for that long, I'll do my best job on the update this thursday! ; )
(You're also alright with exploding children, are you not?)

Aaand it's done. It took me more than 5 minutes to flag all the levers to be pulled. I had an idea. I will take the save-before-levergeddon too, so you can enjoy the destruction too

[Mego]

(You're also alright with exploding children, are you not?)

That's actually disappointing. We expect more from you.

Actually, I'm not sure about what is going to happen. Hilarity for sure.
The children are just collateral damage.

But a thing is for sure. If everything of what I installed works(and everything of what was installed works), Failday is going to look like firecrackers in comparison with this.
