But if you simultaneously drained the magma sea and the ocean into the circus...

What would happen?

Probably form obsidian in some places, but most of it would probably still disappear into the pits. And if obsidian formation hasn't blocked up the hole you used to dump it all in there, the demons will still fly up and throw a party with your dwarves. The only way you are going to fill the circus with a liquid is if you plug the pits, and the sides of hell.

Hear that, you guys? It's still technically-possible. I recommend that you all get cracking now. Hell ain't gonna brine itself.

Megaproject idea: Seal off all the eerie pits, and all the sides of hell, without getting ganked by the demons. Then, fill the container with magma or water, or magma then water. Screen shots of the new layer of obsidian mandatory.

Bonus points if you engrave all of it with demons getting smacked down by dwarves.

Ok but they didnt do it in a glacier and only use water so that they could literally cause hell to freeze over. It was Aussieguys one great regret I believe :P

7/10 Has much more memorable sigs but casts them to the realm of sigtexts.

Indeed, I do this.

Clowns are immune to water, fire, and magma, but are they immune to ice too?

ANYTHING caught under a cave-in, cast in obsidian or encased in ice is DEAD.  As in not even enough to send home on the back of a postage stamp, dead.

It makes me think I can flush the toilet that is the circus.
It doesn't matter how big of a hose you have - it's impossible to fill a bottomless container.
But it is possible to fill a partially bottomless container if rate-in is greater than rate-out and the container shape is friendly.

What this game needs is a way of storing and pumping gases from an evil biome. Flooding the circus with that stuff would definitely work.

Or modding a disease in blood so you can empty pools of elf blood rain into it?

EDIT: although, I don't know if I'd ever try to do what you're suggesting. Thralls are horrific, clowns are !!FUN!!, mixing the two can't be a good idea.

Certainly a dwarfy idea, though.

...If you flooded the circus with husky fog, wouldn't that make clown husks?
