In this thread we suggest experiments and anyone who tries it out tells what happens.

First suggestion: lock a fell-mooded dwarf in with a workshop and an elven caravan. Does the dwarf kill an elf, or does he wait for another dwarf to come by?

Does a group of dwarves stuck in a box in water drown when all possible air exits are sealed?

[GuesssWho]

Don't they pretty much drown anyway?

[Necrisha]

sounds like a build on top of the ocean a 2 z-level thick box all the way around and break the support keeping it up once you've seal the dorfs in. then !!science!!. Maybe that wtf volcano map would work?

[GuesssWho]

That would be pretty tricky to manage . . .

I was thinking using a river map to dig in and around an area for thirty or so dwarves. Deep soil so you can have a layer to farm on. Then you seal it off and flood the empty space around the cube.

There's no problem with that, the game doesn't simulate limited oxygen supply. A magma is fine too.

How long will it take a group of dwarves shoved into a box with food and drink to go crazy and kill each other?

Isn't that the main thrust of every fortress?


Suggestion: Get a Fell-mood dwarf and then attempt to replicate the Planepacked "Endless gathering of materials" glitch by putting the moody in a burrow that does not contain the claimed workshop, but does contain dwarves.  Is it possible to assemble an entire mountainhome into one glorious artifact?

of course not. somebody has to stay alive long enough to *make* the artifact.

Ever felt like the circus could use some even worse monsters?

Rig up a triggerable entrance to the circus. Create a pit straight down. Somehow outmaneuver Giant Sponges, the KING OF BEASTS, into falling down this pit. This will probably be difficult since they can only move to attack, so sacrificial dwarfs will probably be required. Building a flooded Sponge storage system would probably be useful to do before-hand.

Breach hell, flood the entrance, and release the Sponges. Fall damage cannot kill them. We can see how the two species will interact. Will they band together on their mutual hatred for all life? Will the clowns be exterminated by the most horrifying creation of Armok? We must find out. For !!SCIENCE!!

This is true, but if you drag all but one dwarf in the dwarven capitol and assemble them into an artifact dwarf bone statue of dwarves that recounts the entire history of the dwarven race in dwarf leather images, the artifact crafter is really a small detail.  And he's clearly putting his figurative heart and soul into it as well.
