| abstract | - So begins the tale of the dwarven settlement of Koganusân, better known as "Boatmurdered." Perhaps the Dwarf Fortress Let's Play, Boatmurdered was a Succession Game played in one-game-year turns by Something Awful members that quickly became the stuff of legends. The game started innocently en... actually, no, from the very beginning the poor dwarves were plagued by murderous elephants. Then came the food shortages. And the goblins. Then the floods. And then the magma. All of this was compounded by the usual problems of a succession game, with leaders at odds over how to run the settlement, half-finished and forgotten projects, an increasingly labyrinthine fort layout, and outbreaks of megalomania and supervillainy. By the end of the thread the fort is in ruins, but everyone agrees that they've created the root of evil in the dwarven universe. Like all Dwarf Fortress games, the Let's Play ends violently (though to be fair, it started violently).
