Most of your fort is unsmoothed. (Low architecture for 200 dwarves.)

You've sealed off your fortress and dug out all the stone around it down to the magma sea and are about to drop it in just to see what happens.

One further assumption: You will soon learn to drive and will thereafter be too busy to return to this forum to confirm or deny our guesses.
I have my license already...

So I'm not wrong with the rest of my assumptions then - Ahah!   ;)

Well, this experiment is coming along very well.  I'm not sure what to do with the results, but that's not the point of -science- anyway.  Keep guessing!

What?  No, the experiment is this entire thread.  I wanted to see exactly how much information is contained within a single DF screenshot, which has also given me surprising insight into the thought process of the average player.

You have a fairly active glass industry, you also possibly have a drowning trap as part of your front gate.  Or it might be part of a waterfall for the meeting hall. 
Maybe a H.E.L.P. system, which might explain why you have so many inactive military members. 

Also you are a traditionalist when it comes to graphics, but not to fortress design.

There's such thing as traditionalist design?

Also, you've breached at least the first cavern, and have a river or stream on your map.

There are typical tactics and designs employed by most players, at least in the first few years unless they're challenging themselves or the opposite, so far as I've observed.

I noticed that but I have no freakin' clue what it is.  Blood maybe?  Some sort of stone I'm unfamiliar with? Waaaaaaiiiiiiiit a minute!!!

That's not semi-molten rock is it?
