When six (not particularly strong, from what I can tell) goblins massacred around fourty dwarves.
Only three survived because they were deep in the caverns.
Elf merchants arrived as it was ending, to boot.
EDIT: They died too.

I'm on a fort called 'Smithswins', were all my Metal smith people love to "Swim" (Jump into water, unexpectedly), now, in a recent migrant wave, I got ANOTHER MS, but, he was a proficient swimmer, just as he decided to jump into water, the water froze...
FACEPALM
To kick me more, I got a elven SIEGE, which consisted of 5 elves, which I've captured, what to do now?

I just found out that you don't have to make farms 1 at a time. After playing this for months.

F*** your pointy ears I've my dwarves inside.
And f*** your wooden swords I've my dwarves inside.
F*** your bins of cloth I've my dwarves inside.
If you're looking to be killed I've my dwarves outside.

10 patients died of thirst after the siege. All the others survived.
I seriously cannot remember who, among those who died while technically in the hands of Windslap's healthcare, wasn't dehydrated to death. I had war dogs die of infection, and a couple dwarfs who died in blood loss before anyone reasonably had the time to carry them to the hospital, but no patient died of anything but friggin' thirst.
I have a bit water on the surface, I have plenty of water in the caverns, I have enough buckets for a lifetime, and the only reason I have no well is that most of the workforce eventually ends up at the hospital, and even if they don't die there, they can waste a year or two before anyone correctly diagnoses and heal them.
Worst healthcare system ever.

I don't mean to alarm you, but it appears that your Dwarves are all in fact elephants.

When I tried to build a Craftdwarf's Workshop so that a moody, unskilled dwarf would do something.
At the last moment, another dwarf decided it would be a good idea to sleep there. >_>

My superior stupidity.
Digging into the side of a volcano to fill my giant pit of doom.
AND NOT BLOODY REALIZING... a wall was in the way.
Flow gets diverted into my fortress.

Oh, god, the murder of cats... >.<;

After letting some thieves escape with around 10,000 DB, my deceased list grows evermore.

EDIT:Well, that forest titan managed to slip through my well(It was made of water) and slew a woodworker by shooting her in the head with extract.

Maybe it have something to do with the fact that crutch-walking isn't working so anyone with leg injury can't do anything (IF a hospital exists THEN must rest), especially not crawl to the kitchen. And one broken wrist of course stops a dwarf from walking to the food and booze area!

Hmm maybe could have tried turning all healthcare labors on for all dwarves. Or delete the hospital zone and remove beds for force people up? Hmm I should try that sometime.
