** The current (now archived) fort, [http://lparchive.org/LetsPlay/Syrupleaf/index.html Syrupleaf], may be even more insane than all the previous forts put together. For the first few years, they managed to survive ''without any water'' (They're stationed in the bottom left corner of the world map, in the midst of a frozen wasteland that is nigh-impossible to approach in Adventure mode.) They created a single golden boot (Which was magnificently roleplayed, as it was the current leader of the succession game who went into a fey mood to craft it.) Numerous [[Shout-Out|Shout Outs]] and [[Continuity Nod|Continuity Nods]] to the previous major fortresses: The disastrous Boatmurdered and the {{spoiler|demon-corrupted}} Headshoots. In fact, one of the major adversaries the fortress faces is {{spoiler|The Spawn. Which are in-code, modified dwarves/undead. In-character. They're undead dwarves, powered by a clump of magma, who serve underneath Hollistic Detective - Wielder of the Rat Leather Bag, God Amongst Dwarves, and the surviving Demonic Dwarf of the legendary battle between Hollistic and [[Designated Hero|Nemo]]. Also among the thread are the various journals of the [[Audience Participation|The various dwarfed goons, who go in-character and comment on the current situation as describe in the update.]]}} Insane. Awesome.

** [http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=57052.0 Battlefailed] became the self-appointed "Boatmurdered of DF2010", and, to its credit, did a terrific job of living up to that lofty title. Started as the (entirely co-incidental) combination of a genocidal plot by [[Jerkass]] human queen of dwarves, Led Shakeoars and the gambit of an incredibly ancient [[Body Surf|body-surfing sorceror]]. Seven dwarves ended up on the [[Mordor|hellish coastline]] separating the Plains of Ooze from the [[Names to Run Away From Really Fast|Blueness of Malodors]]. Only halfway through the first turn, most of the original dwarves and a good chunk of the immigrants were either dead or dying. Ten turns in and the fortress was an Escher-like nightmare of tunnels, shafts and stairwells leading nowhere, under constant assault from [[Name's the Same|fifty identically-named goblins]], [[Eldritch Abomination|forgotten beasts]] and hordes of [[Demonic Spiders|undead grazing animals]]. Eventually, parts of the fort started leaking water or magma for no apparent reason, occasionally in places that it should not have been possible for water or magma to be. Extinction-level events that would kill up to half of the population became not only frequent but ''regular''.

** More practically, a [http://i576.photobucket.com/albums/ss208/kanddak/magmatrap.png clockwork magma trap] that melts organisms, but doesn't harm metal.

* [[The Spartan Way]]: [http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=91093.0 Dwarven "Child Care"]: "it's like regular childcare, except with more dogs, and less care."

{{quote|'''Toady One:''' It's really hard to say what an ETA is on this thing, but we're basically just going now until it's fun enough to release. It's certainly not now, I mean, if you go down into a dungeon they're very barren.

'''Capntastic:''' Like [[Oblivion]]! }}

* [[Would Hurt a Child]]: Besides the aforementioned "day care" some people don't even see dwarf children as worth having around and actively try to kill them all.
