DF Dwarf Mode Discussion / Re: Face Palm moments you had

I'm pretty sure this has happened to everyone at sometime. I decided to try and build my first well and built a storage for the water under it and channeled out a pathway for the water to flow from the river to it. I had a floodgates set up and a switch connected and made sure it worked. When I had the dwarf channel out the last wall and flow began, I just decided to wait until it got kind of full, like 5 or 6. When I decided to shut the floodgate, it didn't close, probably because of the water pressure or something, (not too sure, I'm not a super experienced player) and water began gushing into the dinning hall where I designated everyone to idle. *facepalm*

Only the good swimmers survived.

There were a few.

Ahh, Staalo, I was impressed by your fluency and sentence complexity and structure all until the most recent "These ones...". I love this story so far, and just recently began to read it. I hope your fortress remains strong!

Just got done building the first well in the fortress. You can see one of my farmers getting a drink.

You would be a very famous killer who would live on the roads, and you would die in the desert of Coldcry, killed by bogeymen.

So mundane...

Life Advice / Waking up on time
« on: March 23, 2015, 11:22:02 pm »
So, I'm 17 years old and am finishing up my junior year of high school as an all AP student will fairly decent grades and have been marching Tenor drums on Marching Band and Winter Drumline Season for all three years. I usually don't let stress get to me and I get to bed at around 10:00- 10:30, but for some reason I just sleep right though both of my Alarm Clocks set for 5:30 and I can never get up for any reason.

Do you guys have any tips or tricks for me? It would really help and I would really appreciate it.  :D

So after building my hospital, I decided to build a fairly simple Well next to it which was controlled by some levers/flood gates. I finished building the water holding room and turned off the flood gates and proceeded to build the well. After about a minute, i completely forgot to turn off the floodgate and the water poured into the hospital, drowning all the incapacitated patients.

The Funniest part about the whole thing was that one of my doctors was in there at the time and thought it would be a better idea to save all the cloth and soap before even considering to rescue his patients.
