Boatmurdered was a succession game of Dwarf Fortress on the Something Awful forums. From this spawned an epic tale, incorporating hordes of belligerent elephants, floods of biblical proportions, flaming puppies, and more. After many goblin raiders were fried with floods of lava, there was a brief period of tranquility. Then one of the last few dwarves went mad and slaughtered the others. While on fire. To be fair, he'd given plenty of warnings that he was becoming unhinged, with all of those carvings 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. As the editor says, the madness surrounding Boatmurdered speaks for itself. (warning, explicit language) see also Succession Games

Boatmurdered deserves to be known for what it really is, an Epic Poem, one of the the greatest works of the century, and an important part of Dwarf Fortress culture
