More like the cycle of impatient autists.

My brother was trying to make a waterfall, but he failed and ended up flooding his entire fortress.

Huh, that's inter- wait what, that's my fort, and that's this year! I must check the lake/moat.

You lucky bastard!
By the way, does anyone have some tips on getting a sustainable food/booze supply and general fortress design and defense? I haven't played in a while and I feel like I'll die horribly fast.
