How NOT to survive

This will all lead to a YASD, which stands for "Yet Another Stupid Death", an acronym common in many rogue-like games, YASD is any death by entirely preventable causes, of oversight or just carelessness.

• Trying to take on many zombies at once without proper equipment or preparations.
• With Safemode turned off, holding down arrow keys to move quickly, and run into inescapable situations - like running into a Jabberwock.
• Eating chunk of tainted meat or drinking raw water. (unless you are a Rat, Chimera, Raptor or Troglobite).
• Ignoring the dosage frequency warning on your RX12 jet injector.
• Try to combat zombies skilled in dance fighting.
• Light up a dynamite and forget to throw it.
• Not noticing land mines on the road and stepping on them. In older versions minefields did not have signs, so you could easily step on them by accident.
• Letting your pain go too high and getting stunlocked to death
• Attacking a mi-go with a stick
• Pissing off an NPC who is wielding a gun, has military grade armour, a big F-ing axe, high melee skill, high unarmed combat skill, or all of the above. NEVER UNDERESTIMATE ANYTHING!!!
• Using guns too much and letting their noise attract hordes of zombies which you cannot possibly hope to defeat
• Not using diagonal movement. This makes sense for circular distances but you end up wasting time and using more resources than you need
• Getting bitten and not cauterizing/disinfecting it
• Getting infected and not taking antibiotics
• Eating addictive substances all at once. You will need the rest to hold off addiction penalties (which are HUGE)
• Killing an innocent NPC to get -100 morale penalty, so welcome to no crafting for a few days, including cooking food! You are screwed unless you find some serious foods, books, or tools to increase morale.
• Killing too many zombie children at one time, especially if you are a pacifist, psychopaths aren't fazed though.
• Jumping into a fire
• Jumping into lava
• Jumping into water (without swimming skill/too much equipment)
• Jumping into acid
• Jumping into a car and have its fuel tank explode on you while running zombies over
• Running too much and not being able to fight effectively because your stamina ran out
• Turning on a flashlight in a zombie infested city AT NIGHT.
• Not picking Night Vision trait and exploring at night
• Run into a zombie hulk
• Driving a car with no seatbelt, you get damaged for impacts
• Explore a spider basement
• Become a melee character... with Flimsy, Frail, or Fragile traits
• Running out of bullets while you're cornered and not having a backup melee weapon (including unarmed skill)
• Become deaf from building falling and not hearing anything for a few days
• Knock down a building you are in.
• Thinking you are invincible just because you have layers of kevlar plate armour, a big helmet, and tough shoes
• Standing next to an active mininuke
• Being surrounded by any enemies tough enough to kill you
• Charging a rickety, home-made wooden bike at a zombie horde
• Throwing something at a (buried) land mine while close to it
• Going into a survivor house (with red carpet) and being killed by shotgun traps or buried land mines. (there can be land mines on the toilet)
• Lighting flour on fire and trying to put it out with water. That makes the fire bigger.
• Say hello to a moose's bloody antlers up close without proper protection or means to kill it
• Fistfight with dogs while naked
• Slapping an NPC because he/she stole items from your base... then getting cut up by a katana/shot by an M4A1/burnt by a spraycan flamethrower
• Not getting guns. Seriously.
• Playing with no cities on (0 city size) as a shower victim
• Fall in a pit/bear trap/tripwire with a small sliver of hp
• Getting a limb blown off by a high damage attack
• Getting your health (not hp) to -100 and not being able to regen hp by sleeping
• Chop down a tree and make it fall on you
• Drowning. Seriously? Couldn't you at least strip naked and drop if you had to swim at 0 swimming skill?
• Getting caught by police robots
• Set all of str, dex, int, and per to 4 (the minimum). You can't read many books, traps are invisible, melee is near impossible, and you have very little hp
• Committing suicide by pressing Q.
• Driving your death mobile into a minefield, or a VERY thick forest
• Pretending to be a knight in NetHack and trying to lance a zombie with an awlpike while riding a bicycle
• Trying to fight a Shocker brute with a Katana
