I intentionally sprung a volcano to start a forest fire.

[King DZA]

Didn't bother to help them while they were attacked on the way to my trade depot. Then again, I hardly go out of my way to help any traders that are attacked while on the way to my trade depot, though you didn't say it had to be elf-specific.

[Jacob/Lee]

They were in the depot when a necromancer siege came. I closed down everything, then when the inner gate was secure I opened the outer one and let them get eaten.

[ClkWrkJester]

Sacrificed a dwarf to get an FB up into my "pen" where it waited patiently. When the elves showed up and got snitty that I wasn't giving them 500% profit, I set the FB loose on them and watched the pointears get shredded.

Then I sent my Militia Commander out, whereupon he promptly whacked its head off.  I leave the elf bones scattered out front as a warning to others.

[bukitodinos]

built EVERYTHING out of wood when near them

I did of course have steel so i killed them all.

[Callista]

They got mad because one of the crafts I tried to sell them had wood decorations on it.

So I seized their entire caravan's worth of stuff, dumped all their clothing off them, watched my dwarves dump everything, and sent them home naked as jaybirds.

[acetech09]

Built my 30-z drop tower above the trading depot. When they come to trade, I send the fortress' worth of pets as them. They get coated in explodey gore bits, and I don't have to worry about useless pets taking up the pastures anymore.

[kujpat]

Well, I'm making an above ground thats 95% wooden, and whenever the elves come I sieze all of their goods and murder them.

Interestingly, they haven't come to attack me yet - but I'm expecting it any day now.


Yeahhh, I'm not the biggest fan of elves. They offend me with the amount of cloth they bring.

[darkrider2]

I remember there was once a thread devoted to finding the best way to torture elves.

At one point I created a drop chamber that would drop elves into a %100 glass room (they hate glass) suspended over a pit of magma that my dwarves would periodically throw wooden crafts into. There was a booze stockpile and tables nearby so my dwarves could watch them suffer while enjoying a meal.

The elves were traders and just went insane after a while.

[Loud Whispers]

I traded all of their booze and wood for rope reed fiber cloth.

[Ultimuh]

Once I accidently got my Trade depot removed when some elf traders arrived.
Thye waited so long that one of them eventually went bezerk, tried to slay one of their horses..
The horse instantly killed the elf, gaining a name.
Not only did it get a name, it apearantly lost faith in elven kind and all living things since it began attacking and killing EVERYTHING it could see and more.
Eventually it went outside embark borders for some unknown reason.
Terrified Dwarves kept engraving images of this four-legged terror for years to come until the fort's final demise.

edit: Long story short, that's the worst I ever done to the elves.

[ClkWrkJester]

I had one elvish caravan leave with nothing but little figurines of screaming dwarves.  I always loved to imagine the fast talking the broker had to do to get them to take the little things... I imagined them like horrifying little dorfish Precious Moments

[Quietust]

At one point I created a drop chamber that would drop elves into a %100 glass room (they hate glass) suspended over a pit of magma that my dwarves would periodically throw wooden crafts into.

I certainly hope that was clear or crystal glass - after all, making those requires burning trees, while green glass can be made using nothing but sand and magma (and Elves will gladly accept green glass goods in trade).

Elves are surpirsingly okay with murder, robbing, torturing of merchants by ways to numerous to count...

What they really hate is getting wood. They get all full of rage and start blowing up. pun not-intended. Seriously, I;ve tried to start a war, and unless you're determined to kill every last elf trader in the world, they will keep coming.

I throw them to be eaten by whatever currently roams my arena. however, for especially annoying ones gennerally those who deny a mhuge surplus when I need to get rid of stuff or desperately need stuff, I hold them and torture them by any means I can find.  Currently that means tying them to one of their own ropes right next to the carpenter, and leaving them there. Forever. Or until the recrutis I periodically send to rough them up kill them accidentally.

[Crashmaster]

There's an elf princess corpse preserved as a trophy under glass in the leadership suits' waterfall lobby. Stealing, killing, waging war, carpentry; all the basics really. Plans are in the works to pave the surface in obsidian to prevent future tree growth.
