Two giant boars wandered in and ate a bunch of children
Two giant boars wandered in and ate a bunch of children. They then also killed and ate three dwarfs who attempted to help the children. My mayor then walked up to the giant boars and killed them both with her bare hands. She has now won six straight elections in a row.

I spent hours generating the perfect world
I spent hours generating the perfect world. Selected my embark location with perfect features: a river, waterfall, metals, and clay, and thick forests. I prepared for my journey carefully, choosing essential skills for each of my seven dwarves. Each would be needed to ensure an optimal start. All required items and livestock, picked with purpose. At spawn-in, next to a river: stockpiles, dig sites, tree chopping, and herb gathering were all designated before unpausing the game, planned out for a perfect first-year start. Holding my breath, I gently tap the spacebar. The game unpauses. An alligator immediately attacks one of my dwarves, maiming and drowning her while the other dwarves react to dispatch the alligator. The blood and gore causes everyone to vomit, and the remaining six dwarves are traumatized, become depressed, and begin attacking each other. The woodcutter kills everyone before succumbing to his own wounds and bleeding out. The settlement is wiped out before it even begins. Welcome to Dwarf Fortress. 10/10.

- build drawbridge over big pit at entrance to my fort - try to trade wood to elves - this makes them mad - do it again out of spite to make them madder - get attacked by elves - raise drawbridge - fling elves into air - they hit their heads on the roof and get stunned - lol - elves fall into the pit - one survives with broken legs - I name him Barry - throw garbage into the pit for Barry every now and then - I like to think he's happy crawling around down there
