History LetsPlay / Jawmetal

The newest Wiki/TVTropes ''VideoGame/DwarfFortress'' Succession Game. Founded after an incident with a piece of cotton candy[[note]]the super-metal Adamantine, for those that don't play Dwarf Fortress (WHY AREN"T YOU PLAYING DWARF FORTRESS?)[[/note]] caused the opening of the three-ring circus[[note]]mining Adamantine typically leads to [[DugTooDeep the forces of Hell constantly invading your fortress]][[/note]] in {{LetsPlay/Beigeknife}}, with the resultant calamitous drop in framerate.

* BlatantLies / SuspiciouslySpecificDenial - Durza's dorf was quick to point out that demons didn't exist, he was certainly not possessed by one, and suggested to [[TabletopGame/{{Warhammer 40000}} God-Emperor Bladebound]] a program for persecuting those who say otherwise. He also had no plans to sacrifice the rest of the fortress to become a dark god, and definitely didn't enjoy repeatedly watching or causing the many deaths of viha Kirbonium.
* BlownAcrossTheRoom- An unfortunate kobold under [=GandAandR=]'s reign. Notable in that the kobold was outdoors at the time, so he covered a fair amount of distance before coming back down.
* BrickJoke Early in the fortress' run, viha Kirbonium [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/posts.php?discussion=13691561690A35746300&page=6#134 requested]] playing as a Swordsdwarf, with the understanding that several iterations of him might be killed in training on the way to becoming Legendary in status. Around three game-years later, his dorf became a swordmaster, and four years after that, ended up dying along with several other viha Kirboniums... in a [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/posts.php?discussion=13691561690A35746300&page=43#1061 two month span]] (see the individual accounts in the timeline above, and Chronically Killed Avatar below).
* [[BurialAtSea Burial In Fire]] - Durza suggested that the dead of the fortress be committed to the volcano instead of buried in coffins, so that there would be less clutter and a happier population (dwarves become happy by admiring engravings, memorial or otherwise).
* [[ChronicallyKilledActor Chronically Killed Avatar]] - During Durza's second reign, he was singlehandedly responsible for the death of at least one of viha Kirbonium's line, which eventually made its way to its 11th iteration, after 6 went mad and 4 were brutally murdered by character!Durza. In reality, player!Durza would just designate any dwarf likely to die or be killed as the next viha, so that such a string of deaths could appear.

* VendorTrash - When Durza ordered that all oversized or worn-out clothes should be dumped in lava, the dorfs responded that they would make great trade items instead. Durza then commented that "I cannot think why anyone would be interested in our worn out clothes", as the caravans at that point couldn't even get into the fortress for trading.

* UnfortunateNames - During Durza's second reign the "purest" members of the fortress joined a society whose members were all renamed [[{{Mooks}} Mook]], and put to work finishing off the LAVA project...

* InfantImmortality - As in {{LetsPlay/Beigeknife}}, the military training room claimed a number of the children, sadly including PC dorf Caspellaer, due to:

Jawmetal is absurdly wealthy for its youth, being built near a volcano and possessing a thriving industy built around magma furnaces and easily-obtained precious metals (and other valuables looted from would-be invaders seeking said precious metals).

* SadisticChoice- Condorito is presented with either running the fortress again, or being allowed to keep the [[{{Bravest Warriors}} MAAAAAAAGMA POWERED STIIIIIICK]][[Literature/{{Discworld}} !!!!!]], with which he had been running around the fortress disturbing others.

** The Stick that Condorito used to hit things with was described as being both [[BravestWarriors magma-powered and never runs out of magma]].

Founded after an incident with a piece of cotton candy[[note]]the super-metal Adamantine, for those that don't play Dwarf Fortress (WHY AREN"T YOU PLAYING DWARF FORTRESS?)[[/note]] caused the opening of the three-ring circus[[note]]mining Adamantine typically leads to [[DugTooDeep the forces of Hell constantly invading your fortress]][[/note]] in {{LetsPlay/Beigeknife}}, with the resultant calamitous drop in framerate.

** Journeyman considers actual bean-counting to be a superb way to sharpen the mind, then relates the story of one [=McMiyagi=] who [[TheKarateKid trained his students by smoothing walls in a circular motion]].

* AbsoluteXenophobe - Overseer Bladebound I, "[[{{Warhammer40k}} God-Emperor of Dwarfkind]]" saw it as imperative that non-dwarf visitors to the region are killed or driven off. This makes his release of the non-killing vampire (see VideogameCaringPotential) that much more poignant.

* BlatantLies / SuspiciouslySpecificDenial - Durza's dorf was quick to point out that demons didn't exist, he was certainly not possessed by one, and suggested to [[{{Warhammer40k}} God-Emperor Bladebound]] a program for persecuting those who say otherwise. He also had no plans to sacrifice the rest of the fortress to become a dark god, and definitely didn't enjoy repeatedly watching or causing the many deaths of viha Kirbonium.

** EXTERMINATUS[[note]]EXciting, Technically Evil, but Righteous, Mighty, and Imperial Newfound Approach to Terminating all Usurpers Simultaneously[[/note]], [[{{Warhammer40k}} God-Emperor Bladebound]]'s approach to dealing with would-be upstart God-Emperors.
** IMPERATOR [[note]]Imperial Modest Posterior-Elevator; Repurpose As Tomb Of Ruler[[/note]], Bladebound's throne/crypt inside THRONE, and another {{Warhammer40k}} reference when he comments that he could probably sit on it for 10,000 years (his entries are dated using the 40k millenial method as well).

** THRONE [[note]]The Holy Room Of Necessary Evil[[/note]], [[{{Warhammer40k}} God-Emperor Bladebound]]'s project of a large excavation with the IMPERATOR inside it. It would have also been fueled by children, but the mechanism for doing so was not available at the time his reign ended, and a few Overseers later the [[NoPlansNoPrototypeNoBackup plans were destroyed]].

** Averted after Durza took over as Overseer again, he wasted no time in having [[{{Warhammer40k}} God-Emperor Bladebound]] murdered, the EXTERMINATUS dismantled, and viha VII dragged to prison and murdered. At the very least, it appears viha XI will continue the family business.

** Each of the milita squads was named after a Tabletop RPG: The hammerdwarf squad was named [[{{Warhammer40k}} "Forty Thousand"]], as well as the [[http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/TabletopGame/Pathfinder?from=Main.Pathfinder Pathfinders]], the [[http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/TabletopGame/Paranoia Shot Trouble]], the [[http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/TabletopGame/Shadowrun?from=Main.Shadowrun Shadow Runners]] and the [[http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/TabletopGame/HunterTheVigil Vigilant Hunters]] [[http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/TabletopGame/HunterTheReckoning?from=Main.HunterTheReckoning of Reckoning]], to name a few.

* AbnormalAmmo - While bone ammunition in DwarfFortress is common enough, several crossbow bolts were once discovered to be made of elf bones. Overseer Durza all but promised to ensure they were [[ScrewYouElves shot out of wooden crossbows]].

** [=GandAandR=], in a later stint, had some warning entries in his diary about [[BioshockInfinite avoiding cults of personality, violent civil war, breaking spacetime in an experimental accident, and sending trained bird men after kidnappers]].

*** Jreaper (KIA in the Great Ambush of 267)[[/note]]

** TOKAMAC[[note]]TOroidal Kineticly-Augmented MAgma Containment[[/note]] Hyokai's totally-not-a-superweapon idea for use at some point in the future. For the curious, a [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tokamak Tokamak]] is a fusion device that uses magnetism to keep the super-hot plasma from touching and vaporizing anything. Presumably, the TOKAMAC would use high-speed magma-bearing mine carts traveling in an endless loop until launched at targets.

* ICallItVera - A silver warhammers was named "The Gleeful Joy" by its user. This is the only instance out of 37 total to be recorded during Durza's second reign (being given by the bookkeeper Oscar the First), with even more afterward in other reigns.

** JADE[[note]]Jawmetal Artistic Deployment Endeavour[[note]] [=GandAandR=]'s beautification project for leaving Jawmetal JADE'd.

* AbsoluteXenophobe - Overseer Bladebound, "[[{{Warhammer40k}} God-Emperor of Dwarfkind]]" sees it as imperative that non-dwarf visitors to the region are killed or driven off. This makes his release of the non-killing vampire (see VideogameCaringPotential) that much more poignant.

** During Bladebound's second reign, another dwarf was found sleeping in the PSYKER construction chamber (which involved several upright spear traps connected to a lever).

* [[ChronicallyKilledActor Chronically Killed Avatar]] - During Durza's second reign, he was singlehandedly responsible for the death of at least one of viha Kirbonium's line, which eventually made its way to its 11th iteration, after 6 went mad and 4 were brutally murdered by Durza. In reality, Durza would just designate any dwarf likely to die or be killed as the next viha, so that such a string of deaths could appear.

* The [=KFC=] was a sealable labyrinth that could be filled with magma once victims were inside.
