Necromancer towers should contain orbs for their owners to ponder.

The more the budding necromancer plays with their staff and orbs, the more chance that they get struck blind.

Toady One should add sentient fruit, as well as toy castles which the sentient fruits are always scheming to steal.

Really hoping somebody puts this in their signature.

If your fort contains or borders a population of gnomes (of either variety), there is a chance each day that said gnomes will be renamed to "smurfs". Once this happens, every day thereafter another new noun will be replaced with "smurf". This will be difficult to notice at first; given the high number of plants, animals, stone types, garments, musical instruments, etc., that are not in your fort, there are a great many things that can be smurfed before it begins to affect gameplay. But when you read that the latest artifact is made of smurf wood, with hanging rings of emu bone and decorated with baguette-cut smurfs, it gets pretty annoying . . . and when you're about to order up some new weapons and see that both steel and copper have been smurfed, so you can no longer specify what the weapons should be made of, you have to admit that the game is either unplayable, or will be very soon.

Killing all of the nearby smurfs gnomes will cause the smurfed words to un-smurf themselves, again at the rate of one per day.

Once all nouns have been smurfed, other word types will start being smurfed based on category (next moving onto pronouns, followed by conjunctions, verbs, adjectives, prepositions, and so forth) until all sentences in the game eventually become an unreadable mess of either "smurf" or one of a handful of less-than-helpful variants (such as "smurfed", "smurfing", "smurftacular", etc.)

This will, of course, have the bonus effect of serving to make the players who already hate DF's UI even angrier.

It's actually pretty terrifying to think about having all of your fat melt off into grease because you started sweating too much.

Smurfs should be considered vermin and unintelligent so cats and dwarves can eat them.

When smurfings happen, nearby necromancers will be renamed into 'Gargamel'.

Dwarves preferencially like eating smurfs, because they taste like blueberry pie.

Dwarves shouldn't care about the fate of socks scattered around the map.

Socks should care about the fate of dwarves scattered around the map. This can cause them to fall into depression, possibly affecting the entire dwarven economy.

Dwarves can only wear socks on their hands, which is required for dwarves to communicate.

They will attempt to drink booze with their socks until they die of thirst.

Dwarves will now only wear socks, who needs other kinds of clothing when you have socks!

Socks behave now like vermin and can move anywhere on the map.

This behavior has the unfortunate side effect of cats hunting and killing socks.

Cats come in a variety of colors, and black cats indeed bring terrible luck to their owners. Black cats happily adopt a new owner if their previous one is deceased.
