stray bunny kills 4 dogs[edit]
(there is a copy of this at http://df.magmawiki.com/index.php/DF2010_Talk:Known_bugs_and_issues)
Not sure if it's a bug, but I had one of my (baby, tame) rabbits go rogue and take out a pack of (adult, tame) stray dogs awaiting training in my new (7 day old) fortress. I'm not sure if it was a bug or not.
I'm still trying to parse the reports to find out who started it. There was only one wild animal (a buck rabbit), on the surface, and I hadn't reached any caverns yet... Not sure if it's related.
I only realized what was going on when I got the first "stray dog bled to death" notice, and the other three repeated the act before I honestly believed they were fighting the bunny. The bunny, btw, has a dented paw and a bruised mouth, but otherwise seems fine. Just to be sure, his inventory showed that he wasn't carrying a switchblade.
Any clue why this happened, or where I should look to see? - jaz 22:33, 1 April 2011 (UTC)
What DF stuff I've done lately[edit]
in game[edit]
Not really the new version, since the new new one came out, well, a while ago.
Added in some new workshops.
SHRINE - for making sacrafices to Amok. Currently has reactions for burning vermin corpses, useless corpsepieces (or whole corpses, if I'm not careful). There is a benefit to taking whole corpses - it will take entity and pet corpses, as well, which negates any negative thoughts from rotting. On the other hand, it can also take corpses that were destined for the butcher shop, or pieces made at same shop, thus reducing available stock for food, leather, and craft production. There's a reason this reaction isn't automated (anymore).
RECYCLE - a place that turns wooden or stone furnature, tools, etc back into base components. Next project, remove improvements!
CST_STONEWORKS - custom stoneworks, in combination with [reaction_class:junk],[reaction_class:tool] and [reaction_class:block] tag on certain stones, allows me to turn some kinds of stone into blocks, others into furnature, tools or crafts.... all without worrying about what my current "worthless stone" settings are... Thus allowing regular shops to work on one set of stones, and the custom shop to work on another. Also makes stone beds!
SPINNINGWHEEL - used in the automation of plant and animal thread production. The shop works. Wish the reactions did.
Added some new reactions, (besides those listed above)
a whole slew of recycling reactions, for tools, furnature, mechanisms, traction benches, even ballista and trap parts.
buy_soap turns coins into rare soaps
split_lye takes stacks of 10 lye and fills 10 buckets with individual servings there-of. Currently only works with stacks of 10, but since that's what the traders bring, that's ok with me. Bug work-around.
there is a set of reactions to take individual or small stacks of plants and turn them into bigger stacks. More useful back when I cared how many barrels my booze was taking up.

Wiki[edit]
Posted and answered some questions to the .31.25 cheating discussion page. Not sure I'd count it as wiki editing, but I'll allow it on the technicallity. Stopped cheating the .sigs, and my phone won't let me log in, for some reason, so IP sigs for me, for a while. --98.207.234.98 07:40, 12 December 2012 (UTC)

Still cheating the sigs... - jaz 1 March 2011
Ever feel like a little fish in a really big pond?[edit]
And that maybe the pond is filled with something other than clear crystal water?
I am wading through some of the forums at www.bay12games.com, trying not to duplicate threads as I make suggestions (or, in at least one case, point out that there is a perfectly good way of dealing with the problem they want dealt with without them suggesting something that would mess up my problem even more, and better yet, their solution is already functional in the game). My word, there is a lot of ... stuff... to wade through. Even if I find a thread that talks about something similar to what I'm thinking, it may be a good ten pages long... and if I don't want to sound like a "me too!" who didn't even bother to read what they're "me too!"ing, then... argh... And when that's /already/ a duplicate thread. Headache. And then it turns out that none of them address the subtle vision I see... or insist on making it too complicated to actually impliment...
And I have to wonder, if it's this difficult for me, wading through it all, how badly fare the Great Toad and his tri-toed sibling? Because I'm sure I'm not looking at even a tenth of the ... stuff... that they are. (And no, I don't mean "<redacted>" because it's worthless, but rather because there's just so much of it that it intimidates me and I thus feel the need to call it dirty words. I accept my common ways.)
So, Yargh, I say. Yargh! I will take my ineffective self to dinner, and maybe tomorrow will wade through more "suggestions" in the hopes of finding a gem, a clever mind who's desires match my own (and who was smart enough to phrase it in a way that other people actually understand).
