Picked up Dwarf Fortress again.
Currently recovering my fortress after a moody mason went berserk as he could not get the final ingredient, a bit of thread, for his masterpiece. This caused a tantrum spiral that left one third of my dorfs dead, one third injured and the remaining third cowering in fear because of all the blood and random body parts littered all through the main hallways of my fortress.
During the riots one of the disgruntled dorfs decided to destroy part of the pump stack to my water system, which caused a flowback into my legendary dining room, and the need to shut down my entire water supply. This in turn caused several recovering dorfs to die from thirst, as no one was able to bring them water, and they can't drink alchohol while injured. Speaking of which, alchohol was in short supply, and made even shorter by no one bothering to make more booze, which made the dorfs even more disgruntled. Also, the dead bodies were starting to smell ...
To recover from this I had to prioritize; make coffins to bury the corpses, and brew alchohol to keep the remaining working dorfs content while they scrub away the blood. Not an easy task when half the time they are abandoning their jobs because they get spooked by stumbling across their best friends jawbone or similiar. Also I now have several ghosts haunting my sewers, where they drowned.
On the upside from all of this I now have several Competent Crutchwalkers and quite a few Novice Swimmers. Got to look for the silver lining.
