I want to see a movie of the most gawdawful tantrum spiral ever. It would please my sadistic side.

Here's a fun one.

I made a tomb that was to be sealed and then covered by water.  The lever is inside the tomb.  I get everyone inside, create the last piece of wall, and pull the lever.  The floodgates open and water begins to pour around the tomb to form a pool that'll soon cover it.

A fight broke out as the dwarves ran out of food, and in the skirmish, they broke the lever.

Talk about really sealing one's fate.

I don't tend to have this problem for two reasons..

First I always have artifact statues from moody masons, and every dorf likes a good satue.

Secondly I always have an insanely awesome main stairwell as well as dining room.

Thirdly, my goal is to have 0 idlers, so nobody makes friends...ever...You vill be vorking!

Random Idea:
Make a squad of soldiers with some crafting skills and build some type of vault.  Make sure they have the supplies to survive the madness and then rebuild.  Door should be made out of floodgates so nobody tries to destroy it.
