Would this lead to us being able to request dwarfs with specific skills from the mountainhomes? Because I am all for that.

Pray that the Dwarf Monarch hasn't mandated that all cheese-makers are to be dictatorially exiled/emigrated to overrule your request.

alternatively you could make a burrow full of connected floor grates over lava (since it is a orthogonal construction meaning that its mandatory to be attached to something solid like a wall, i recommend a series of 2x2 corridors forming a box as good as you can get it for floorspace) attach lever mechanisms, pull the trigger and watch them melt in your migrant foundry.

And then what? The legendary blacksmith, related to that dabbling cheesemaker, goes berserk?

No dwarf would ever do something so horrible as melt other dwarves. Unless they were insane, of course, but most dwarves are only moderately insane.

You forget the mindset  of the one who makes them do it..

To the point. if you can't confiscate their items before they go in, atleast find a way to drain the lava and pick up metallic objects for hoarding/melting down ironically. Point taken on board burrow a unrelated dwarf to pull the lever and check relationships before dropping them.

Forum Poster is in a 'Fell' mood and has created Ibsonsjerk the dwarf bone post.
Dwarves do very 'creative' things to other dwarves inherently.
One time I had only just started playing (1 Urists in Year) and i had one dwarf as the main admin goto jerk... well wouldn't you know it of all the people this fell mooded dwarf chose to gut and bone was my Leader.. the admin/book keeper/manager/hammerer/etc.
Turned him into a bone shield like a diablo 2 Necromancer.
I was not happy, but with how leadership is often arbitrarily assigned & how dwarves would see desk jobs as opposed to good hard labour... I was understanding.

I suggest adding a citizenship test to the thing and naming it the Donald Trump mod/update. Mandatory megproject: a wall around the map to keep all southern enanos out. And wigs as default wearable head piece.

Wrong forum Leo.

I'd also like it if you could ask visitors to stay in the fort, like a petition going the other way. You might even send your noble out with a gift. "If you'll accept this -gabbro crown-, will you join, get your own room, slave away at our furnaces and probably have your children killed to make room for more adults?"
