History LetsPlay / Beigeknife

** DORF[[note]]Dwarves Obsessively Risking Failure[[/note]], When Condorito was released from the hospital with only one good eye, the comparison was made between him and [[Franchise/TheAvengers Nick Fury]] leading their troops to victory despite their handicaps.

** In the end, the fort's framerate slowed to a crawl before it could lose in any way, causing the Tropers to mount an expedition from there to found the third Wiki/TVTropes Community Fort.

*** Though in grand Wiki/TvTropes tradition, [[WonTheWarLostThePeace they didn't exactly stay down.]]

* FreakOut: Beigeknife drove two of the first three overseers insane. ''[[UpToEleven By overseer standards.]]''

-->'''Noaqiyeum''': I'm impressed that you've managed to cast [[MurphysLaw Summon Murphy]] in every single post since you became overseer.

* ContractualImmortality: Though the dwarves can and do die, the overseers just get new dwarves to play as.

* InfantImmortality: Averted with the Infanticide of Beigeknife under Ringsea's reign, who then attempted to invoke this with the IHOP.

** Once the [[ThePhantomOfTheOpera Opera House]] was finished, and [=GandAandR=] brought up stone instruments, mention was made of [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Literature/Discworld Music with Rocks in]].

A succession game of '''''VideoGame/DwarfFortress''''' that spun off of the Waterburned succession game due to issues with frame rate and in-game lag. The initial location for Beigeknife was a swamp near an evil biome. Upon the first Overseer getting less than a year into the map, it began to rain rotting filth year round. This covered the map in filth tiles and effectively killed the frame rate before the fort had a chance to grow.

It was decided to generate a new world with Gobblins in it for the added "[=FUN=]" goblins bring. The next location was a moderate desert with a very narrow river inhabited by two menacing giant sponges and suffering frequent Wolverine People raids.

* {{Badass}}: Dr. Tentacles.

** [=GandAandR=] suggested tunneling into the bedrock under an ocean, modifying the game to let dorfs shoot fireballs, turn the children into vampires, and name the fortress [[Franchise/BioShock Wrappedsure]].

* NeverMyFault: Most of the minor incidents that occurred during Archereon's term as overseer (or as he preferred, [[{{Warhammer 40000}} Lord Commander]] Beigeknife) were blamed (in character) on the incompetence of other dwarves.

* FantasticRacism / EnemyMine: While it is expected that the Elves would bear a lot of this from the perspective of the Overseers and other dorfs, the surgeon HEALBOT was also a subterranean elf[[hottip:*:Living in the fortress as part of a cultural exchange program with a Drow city-state]] that would occasionally vent against the surface-dwelling tree-lovers.
