Bloodline:Boatmurdered
Boatmurdered was a succession game of Dwarf Fortress on the Something Awful forums from 2007. From this spawned an epic tale, incorporating hordes of belligerent dwarf-eating elephants, floods of biblical proportions, flaming puppies, and more hilarious pranks. After many goblin raiders and elven traders were fried with floods of lava, there was a brief period of tranquility. Then one of the last few dwarves went berserk from all the smoke and slaughtered another while on fire, causing a tantrum and insanity spiral that eventually destroyed the whole fortress. To be fair, he'd given plenty of warnings that he was becoming unhinged, such as attempting to drink from the magma river and making numerous engravings depicting dwarves on fire, elephants killing dwarves, and a carving of a carving of cheese. How many other fortresses manage to create artifact caskets?
The entire saga can be read here, or downloaded to read offline (in pdf format) here. As the editor says, the madness surrounding Boatmurdered speaks for itself. (warning: explicit language)
There is also an animation of Boatmurdered being made by LavaLevel right now. Check its progress here. [1] However it seems to have succumbed to the "Let's wait, OP will surely deliver!" Syndrome.
