Have you tried pressing the pause key (spacebar)?

Reading his name would trigger it. Thinking of him would trigger it. No other circumstances would trigger it- it was strictly related to the concept of Bill Clinton entering the conscious mind.

A wizard has turned you into a wagon. This was inevitable (Y/y)?

You could try draining a river into the caverns, but then you can't unfreeze time.

I seem to recall one of Putnam's mods accomplishes that sort of time manipulation by blanket reducing everything elses's speed by an absurd amount, possibly using DFhack.

In all seriousness, what is lacking in simply pausing the game?

I think what is being sought is a way to freeze time for all EXCEPT ONE UNIT.  Sort of like the AD&D spell of the same name.

I'm new to succession forts in general, yes, but do all forts designed by multiple overseers inevitably degenerate into a body-filled labyrinth of chaos and despair like this? Or is this just a Battlefailed thing?

There isn't much middle ground between killed-by-dragon and never-seen-by-dragon.

Dropping a box with a burning coal inside (Or a fire demon) to the sea works well.

(Note: Causing the ocean to boil may cause your PC to do the same. Use with caution)

In a hole in the ground there lived a dwarf. Not a nasty, dirty, wet hole, filled with the ends of worms and an oozy smell, nor yet a dry, bare, sandy hole with nothing in it to sit down on or to eat: it was a dwarf fortress, and that means magma.
