Whenever I start a new fort, I like to name the first seven, usually using some dwarven name generator.

In my current fort, I chose the name 'Lavaminer' for one of my starting miners. He became legendary among his peers.

One day, 'Lavaminer' Asmelethab was digging deep underground when he came across a wall that felt suspiciously warm.

As he was about to turn around and head back up he heard a cryptic voice in his head: "(d)-(d)".

Shortly after, a craftsdwarf heard an equally cryptic voice: "alt+s"

(I'm an idiot)

Should've listened to the villagers.

Heh, to get around that problem, quickly run away and go to travel-map before they've drowned.

Aye, that's what I do, but I lose one every now and then.

Also,

I can't draw, but that hasn't stopped me before!

I believe DFhack can be used to fix the broken Elven diplomacy.

Up to version 0.31.12, Elves only sent Diplomats to your fortress to propose tree cutting quotas due to a bug; once that bug was fixed, Elves stopped caring about
excess tree cutting. This command adds a Diplomat position to all Elven civilizations, allowing them to negotiate tree cutting quotas (and allowing you to violate
them and potentially start wars) in case you haven't already modified your raws accordingly.

Their immortality is a good point.

Btw, do vampires attack children?

I'm fairly sure FBs break locked doors.

EDIT: Wiki says: "Building destroyers cannot destroy closed floodgates or locked doors from a ramp leading up to the level of those buildings unless there is an open path to the same level."
