My ... dwarves just elected a vampire into the mayor's office. Several weeks after she was found out and convicted for two murders.

I don't know anymore.  :-[
wow, it's almost as if Dwarfs are little psychopaths. :o

Lost limb will fighting a necromancer, picked it up and beat necromancer to death with it (dual wielded with limb and axe  :D)
But I should have thrown it out the window, because I dropped it, it reanimated, and then killed me

Would that count as suicide or murder since it was.... y'know, your own arm...

I had a nice operation set up with magma smelters and forges. Occasionally magma crabs appeared. This one had been shooting at a fisherdwarf really often but now it took a different target. Nish Morulamost, Metalsmith and avid dodger. Yeeeep. He's going into the velcaner. So I tombed him while he's still falling. Blaggard.  ::)


Edit; he left a wife and two passing acquaintances. May he toil in peace in Armok's forge. And may he study in Mishtem's library.


Also, magma-death seems changed. He didn't drown nor did he get combat reports about how the magma is sizzling him. He left a plume of smoke at -156

Magmacrab is named Istamlimul. I wish it meant 'little bitch' rather than 'lightgold.'

New player here, so there's going to be a lot of these.  :P

Started a new fortress because I had exciting new design ideas. Digging... Digging... Digging... Noticed there were spots with really nice things like high value gems, gold and.. some type of rare rock that I forget what it was called. Noticed that walls look exactly like smooth stone, so I dig out the parts of my almost uniformed living area and put in walls that match so I have a color coordinated fortress. How clever is that!

I get to the dining area and find it's nothing but clay. Pretty red clay, but you can't smooth clay so I do my clever little trick and put in pretty walls.

Then I go to engrave them to find.... this is not a feature of this game and I have ruined the entire layout of my fortress. :/

I can just imagine the necromancer going "Stop hitting yourself! Why are you hitting yourself? Stop hitting yourself!"

The guy who dodged magma crab shooting and fell into lava has returned as a ghost (in the lava sea) and I can't slab him. I can slab three others, though, but I never lost those others. ::?

Edit; Nish the dead is now haunting my food stockpile. Hm. What to do?

Edit2; his ghost appearing meant he was no longer thought to be missing at least. And he's disappeared again, too.

Yea, you can't engrave constructed walls, only smoothed rock walls.

Lurker emerging, alert alert beep boop lets go.

Face palm moment involved a horse, and my sub-equpied, ill-trained military. The combat reports all show the same thing, page after page of poor dwarves being kicked in the head, until one of the few equipped dwarves got a lucky strike on it's neck until it bled out. The face palm, I had a legendary hunter that could of done it easily without any casualties involved. Keep on forgetting about hunters...

I just facepalmed after a comical situation involving a horse, a goat and a goblin lasher.

Started new fort with the new release. Embarked on a glacier. Got a vampire in a (very large) migrant wave. He killed 3 of my dorfs: the first I had no CotG so no witnesses came forward (despite it happening in the dorms next to the only dining room, just some random kid so no loss). Second time I appointed a CofG and 2 witnesses pointed to Ast Thabostoltar the Blacksmith (his victim was a farmer, no shortage of those). Third time 3 witnesses all pointing to Ast again (my cook from the original 7. Nooo!). So I look in the justice screen and see Ast is the convicted party for 2 of the 3 murders. Figure I'll add that first one as well. Go to convict somebody but forget his name. Hit return to come out, checked the name and went back... only to realise I'd just convicted some random farmer. And you can't change it. oops, should have pressed escape.

In a previous fort, threw a puppy down a volcano to see if I could spot candy. Short while later: "The Stray Puppy (Tame) has been missing for a week". Erm... Yeah. I know where it went. And I doubt it will come back. Surely "thrown down a volcano" doesn't really count as "missing". Can just imagine the dorfs all sat in the dining room, eating their ĪKitten Tallow BiscuitsĪ when Urist pipes up "Hey... haven't seen that puppy for a while. Wonder where it went". The others look at each other then say "Erm... Urist. You threw it down that volcano last week. Muttered something about Candy scouting" "Really? Oh... I wonder why it hasn't come back yet"

Went to convict a vampire and have my hammerer stove his head in with a silver hammer.
Convicted the victim by mistake, and a tantrum spiral was avertred only by my Expedition Leader liking to help people adn having both consoler and pacifier up to adaquate. I felt absolutly stupid for not paying attention to that.....

The soldiers had a less problem, taking thier frustration out on a few goblin snatchers.
