Use a 1-tile bridge and a lever to drop as many dwarves as you can into a 1-tile pit. Leave 1 dwarf behind to deface all the engravings and destroy any masterpieces.

hahaha, oh man.  That's an awesome law.

It's just that I'm nearing my course in Psychology of Evil (psych major), and man o man, my head is just filled with this stuff (till finals come... then I dump my brain on the nearest sidewalk and escape back to the cave)

I collapsed floors and emptied the magma tube into the bottom half of my fortress. I eventually ended up with under 20 dwarves who still had enough food for a long time, so I succumbed to a simultaneous invasion.

You succumbed?  Did you at least send the remaining dwarfs out to meet the enemy?

If software was real world, then it'd be something equivalent of hitting a nail with a hammer and having a building collapse on the other side of town.

Don't worry people, sometimes -moments occur

Yeah, that was part of how I got down to 20 dwarves. I made a million one-member squads and forced them to all go to one of the goblin formations. It ended with a long line of dead dwarves, but after I remember I had sent my dwarves there I checked back and there were no more living goblins.  :)

I didn't bother dealing with the other goblin incursions at the time. One of the goblin groups tried to get into my fort, likely following Dwarfy McDwarfdwarf back to the only entrance... which happened to have 20x5 tiles of spinning saw blades. I noticed that later when I saw a bunch of bloody g symbols around my trade depot...

When i get bored with a fort heres what i do:
1. Build a massive food/booze stockpile and move all food there.
2. Channel out all the floor above it.
3. Refloor the area using clear glass blocks.
4. Build doors on all entrance to the room.
5. Put all my dwarves in the room and lock the doors.
6. Laugh as they starve to death staring at the food right beneath their feet.

No quick cave in death for my dwarves.

Oh yeah baby, you know you like it.  Now stop crying and get in my lungs.
Boil your penis. I'm convinced that's how it happened.
