This one may be well known, but it was my first encounter. I started a fortress above ground on a beach near a goblin fortress and basically built a glass village with basement complexes. The center of the town was a 30 z-layer tall glass window covered tower. Pretty standard fair right? Well one day a goblin siege managed to catch a few dwarves outside fishing and they were killed before they could get to safety. Among the dead was one of the dwarves from the initial embark, who was friends with everyone. Sure enough The Great Berzerking followed. Now, I have been through tantrum spirals before and I usually wait until the end, but this time I decided to just pull the plug and abandon the fortress.
So I embarked once more, this time on a mirthful biome, hoping for some peace and quiet.
The first eleven migrant waves were FULL of angry, miserable, and very unhappy dwarves. I checked their status and found that they had all lost loved ones recently... and EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THEM HAD ADMIRED A GLASS WINDOW.
Apparently I had chosen the same civ and apparently all the dwarves that are not dead at abandonment get saved.
