My new favorite defensive measure: The Clockwork Drowning Chamber! Kill goblins without ever issuing a "Pull the Lever!" command or stationing a squad nearby.

Your trap seems to perform its job adequately without going overboard.  It requires an absolute minimum of dwarf intervention, which will doubtless improve the safety record of your fortress.

Efficiency?  Safety?  Your dwarf engineering license is hereby revoked pending an inquiry into your apparent lack of dwarven spirit.  Seriously, though, good job.

Yeah, I had a lot of fun trying to figure out how to put it together. Humorously though, the best automatic drowning chamber I know of was built by someone after me.

My favourite part of dwarffortress HAS to be the forums, we have a concentrated soup of brilliance, unlike many commercial games than have millions of annoying fans, we have a small community of dedicated members.

I do, however, enjoy virtually every aspect previously mentioned.

Love, jakkarra
