'''Boatmurdered''' was a [[succession game]] of ''Dwarf Fortress'' on the Something Awful forums from 2007, beginning in version 0.22.110.22f and presumably finishing in version 0.23.130.23a. From this spawned an epic tale, incorporating hordes of belligerent dwarf-eating [[23a:elephant|elephant]]s, floods of biblical proportions, flaming [[23a:dog|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, unhappy from the recent defacement of a masterwork engraving, caught [[fire]] and started a fist fight with another dwarf (setting it on fire too), causing a [[tantrum]] and [[insanity]] spiral that eventually destroyed the whole fortress. To be fair, she'd given plenty of warnings that she was becoming unhinged, such as attempting to drink from the [[23a:magma flow|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 [http://lparchive.org/LetsPlay/Boatmurdered/ read online], or downloaded to read offline [https://dffd.bay12games.com/file.php?id=4120 in PDF format]. As the editor says, the madness surrounding Boatmurdered speaks for itself. Be warned: the language contained within can cause necrosis of the ears, and should be avoided by [[children]], the stunningly susceptible to disease, [[kitten]]s, and other worthless [[Syndrome|disease]] [[Noble|spreaders]].
