Is there any legitimate benefit to the justice system?  Seems like other than trying to avoid bad thoughts in nobles, which is a sucker's game, it doesn't actually do anything but hurt.  Am I missing something?
Technically we are the justice system. I don't know any other game in which you are allowed to convict a dead chicken of murdering someone.

Hey, if a strong enough thrower is having a tantrum and the dead chicken is the nearest object...
Kill is attributed to the thrower. Although there was the curious case of the oak log attributed with a kill..

I don't use it.  The last thing I want is to pander to spoiled nobles.  8)  Down with the monarchy! hehehe.

I found two separate candy veins below the volcano. Also the best use of/way to get rid of dwarven children there is.

Do you say this when you do it? (first one, first three seconds)

I think he'll eventually hurl himself off something tall. More than once if necessary.
Will dorfs really suicide themselves off of tall things if they are miserable/melancholy?

In a previous version, I saw a melancholy dwarf drag himself to the a bottomless pit, and then fling himself over the precipice.

Well, the justice system is useful for weeding out murderers and vampires and such. Although, I have a tendancy to randomly convict whoever is annoying me at the moment of whatever pending cases are available. Its great for taking out tantrumers before they start.

That should be a new type of project, making a rug design in dwarf fortress (With accurate coloring)

do you think that would kill a vampire?
and if it didn't, would a melancholy dwarf get taken to the hospital?

if no one knows the answer, i'll hold off on abandoning until i've done some !!SCIENCE!!

A long enough fall onto a sufficiently unforgiving surface can harm a vampire, and he will be taken to a hospital if he survives.  Not sure about melancholy.  Try to make him fall on something you can hit him with again just in case, like a lever-linked upright spears trap.

Listen up: making a thing a ‼thing‼ doesn't make it more awesome or extreme.  It simply indicates the thing is on fire.  Get it right or look like a silly poser.

It's useful to keep a ‼torch‼ handy.
