The incident where I spawned right next to an exposed magma pipe. A fire imp proceeded to burn everything, and all my food burnt up.

That's the great thing about this forum. We can derail any discussion into any other topic.
It's not an embark so much as seven dwarves having a simultaneous strange mood and going off to build an artifact fortress that menaces with spikes of awesome and hanging rings of death.

I was playing a heavily modded game and must have mistyped something in the properties of one material or another because my wagon spontaneously combusted as soon as the game started...

Embarked on a site with 3 river starting points for the heck of it, started on top of ice, then melted about 5 frames after it unpaused and drowned everyone.

i beat all of you
 it went exactly like this
"Strike the earth!"
"A section of the cavern has collapsed"
"Your fortress has crumbled to its end"

and all that within 1-2 seconds

EDIT: i actually didn't even have the chance to look at the terrain

I once had a fortress end so fast that I didn't even make it to the embark site.

Embarked in an evil biome, entire embark team stampeded by skeletal mountain goats.

The stumpies decided the best place to park the wagon was about 25 yards away from a HYDRA. As I tried to dig out very quietly on the other side, Mr. Mittens runs up to hunt vermin right next to it. Next time I'm killing the cat before I start digging.

And then, they will be weaponized. Like everything in this game, from kittens to babies, everything is a potential device of murder.
So if baseless speculation is all we have, we might as well treat it like fact.

Embarked in a sinister swamp and within 10 seconds of unpausing 2 zombie alligators wiped me out.

My first time embarking to a terrifying biome, I got annihilated by ogres within a couple of minutes.

Yeah, in the future you probably shouldn't strike the earth quite so hard :D

I learned about caveins through an.. incident with a miner.

Fort after that, I embarked in the middle of random nowhere with 7 picks, 7 miners, and a desire to watch them all die via cavein. Took maybe 3 minutes at 15 FPS (that computer wasn't all that good.)
