Deciding to sell a captured Dragon (stored next to my booze stockpile) to the Elves for kicks.

Yeahh.

Haha... Ha... Oh shit...

Why are all my miners getting thirsty and hungry?... Oh, I've cut them off from the fort with their excavation project.  ::)

Just today... embarked on a Evil Savage biome. Finally had a sealed Fortress that was beginning to work.

Migrants arrived... I let them have a chance to run in by unsealing my doors. I made sure to forbid everything outside first so Urist McSuicide wouldnt run out into the HOARDS of zombies.

Migrants all died.

Later, a second wave of migrants arrive. I figure I will give them the same chance... to find that the second I ubar the door all of my dwarves LEAP out of the fortress to go pick up the items on the corpses of the last immigration wave, which are not forbidden.

They all die.

How about designating over 130 z-levels to reach magma, only to have .34 be released the next day with 3d designations...

Compounded by discovering, the day after that, that you can record macros and let them do the work...

Jam a door with its corpse and let all the goblins in. Hey, nobody said it had to be a weapon against your enemies.

I embarked on sinister volcano with the intend to die with fun.
Ultimately, I managed to sustain dwarves till autumn - even being sober and losing friends due to that they somehow were ecstatic - but still dying.
With two dorfs left, I buy two barrels of booze and a steel sword with the clothes of the fallen ones, then form a squad (they had some practice on boars) and desperately demand them to attack the caravan.
Somehow one of them kills 2 hammerdorfs and 2 merchants... when I notice something IGNITED THE DEPOT.
And the wooden stuff stock BURNS AS WELL.
But the expedition leader is still alive.

There is a finely-engraved image of Ascimator on the wall. Ascimator is slapping himself in the face. The artwork relates to the loss of the only anvil in Perplextombs in the late winter of 6.
