Oh <Insert Phrase>

"Oh ... !"

Rimworld presents an array of moments, which really make you crap your pants or cry in frustration.
So I thought I'd start a community montage, for us to start sharing the moments when we just felt like screaming profanity.


----------------

So this is how it will work:
Post an image of the moment in progress or just prior too.
Tell us which storyteller was diabolical enough to do this too you.
Tell us what challenge setting you have it set too.
Tell us how many colonists you have.
Finally tell us, what was/were the thoughts that ran through your mind when it happened. In the form of "Oh <something>"
A few that come to mind are "Oh crap", "Oh wtf!", "Oh why did you do this too me Pheobe?!" as examples.




Storyteller: Pheobe Basebuilder
Challenge: Challenging
Colonists: 10
Thoughts
"Oh Shiiiiit!"

For clarification I had 5 Scythers and 11 Centipedes attack me... Needless to say, with the majority of the centipedes packing inferno cannons, it was a short fight...

If your having trouble thinking of a circumstance to lookout for here are a few suggestions.
When a mysterious blight destroys all your crops when you really need them.          When enemy besiegers hit something you really didn't want damaged.          When all the boomrats in the area turn psychotic.          When Pheobe does something mean.          When Randy does something especially mean.         When mechanoids Zerg rush you.         When tribes Zerg Rush you.          When ANYTHING Zerg rushes you.          When a roof collapse on your colonists.          When batteries explode on your colonists.          When Prisoners revolt and crush your warden's eyes.          When a colonist is revealed as a traitor and escapes with your best gear on him.          When a single psychotic animal manages to seriously impair or kill one of your colonists.          When you realise too late you didn't home zone an important area.          When something really shit happens...Feel free to suggest a few suggestions. :)

I've had couple 'Oh' moments yesterday and the day before(?), don't have any pictures though!

Storyteller: Randy Random
Challenge: Rough
Colonists: May have been 6 or 7

My newly recruited badass soldier Vas, with pretty high shooting skill got owned by roof supported by
trees falling down middle of my base expansion. His neck snapped

Thoughts
"... ... ..oh."

Another one! Same game

Another base expansion, had demolished my perimetre walls to expand on the other side of it
ofcourse the tribals decide to attack at that exact moment

Thoughts
"Oh, Thank you"

I don't really get frustrated or wanan scream any sort of profanities =P So I'm sorry
I guess I have that Sanguine trait irl

When I break into an underground room in a mountain I think oh yes I don't have to do as much digging.

EarthyTurtle

Dw, you can get images next game ;). Still that's terrible  when that happens, roof supports are evil.

lol I never thought of it like that. Running into a beautiful amount of luck.

Ember

I say some sort of expletive when more than half the pirates attacking me have M24s
also when 20 or so tribals break down 4 doors to get behind my defense line just so they can melee my defenders
another is when the first shot of a battle that has 1% chance of hitting scores a killing head shot on my best colonist

Fruit loops

when you get a group of visitors that visits the middle of the mountain and 2 years later you find their skeletons in a "you discovered a new area" area and half your colonists go mad
"....REALLY"
The guy who suggested the mood debuff for harvesting prisoner organs.

Autochton

When my two hard knocks, wearing their armor vests and packing major heat, go out to fight a single tribesman in loincloth and bow. And that bow launches a single arrow. That arrow hits one of my colonists. And hits her in the eye so she instantly dies.

The other one proceeded to then beat the stuffing out of the tribesman, who was captured and indentured as a replacement for the dead colonist. Serves 'er bloody right! (Though it took a bit, what with her damn rating of 90...)
