Epic Fail: Difference between revisions

* ''[[Dwarf Fortress]]'' has a myriad number of ways to fail (after all, Losing is Fun!) but there are a select few ways that you can Epicly Fail, like say [http://mkv25.net/dfma/movie-701-shortestfortever accidentally starting your fortress over a volcano]<ref>Actually, it appears to be some weird hybrid of a volcano and a bottomless pit.</ref>

** For the fans, this is actually how you succeed - since there's no actual victory in DF, the easiest win condition is to achieve a catastrophic failure that is notable in some entertaining way, then post it on the Bay 12 forums.

* ''[[Dragon Age Origins]]'', toward the end of the Orzammar plot arc, has the losing candidate for King attempt a coup right there in the meeting chamber with all the guards [[Suicidal Overconfidence|and the heroes who just got through carving up a thousand Dark Spawn]]. Needless to say, it doesn't go well for them. Listen to the town crier afterward. He'll shout out about what happened and throw in his usual color commentary which goes like this, quoted word for word:
