I wonder if it's possible to trap a creature in a room, have a tree growing under a hatch cover which you then open and then grow to the point they're crushed against the ceiling.

This is highly unlikely but would be a great source of noble entertainment.
You, sir, have just invented a way to encase things in logs!

Now we have to figure a way to do this to the next elven caravan, make the logs into elf statues, and then try to sell them back!

Poor saps, the update hasn't even come around and you're thinking of petrifying them in wood.

It's Bay12, what did you expect?

Anyway, if we can encase things in logs, the easiest way would be to wall of a 2x2 tree and chop down only one tile, then put there the victim and wait. Instead of making the elves into wooden statues, it would be better to make the logs into ballista arrows and then fire them at the next caravan.

I plan on answering a question that has plagued me since my first baron.  If a tree falls on an elven diplomat and no one is around to see, is it still freaking hilarious?

It's faster to write "!!science!!" than any of the synonyms: "mad science", "dwarvern science", or "crimes against the laws of god and man".

Well, it's not like toady can de-value elves any more than we have ourselves-he's have to make them tougher, smarter, and hungrier than a husk to make things interesting. So yes, poetic insults all around.

I'd laugh at an unexplained elf skeleton in the same tlle as a log next to a broken-off trunk and root.

Listen up: making a thing a ‼thing‼ doesn't make it more awesome or extreme.  It simply indicates the thing is on fire.  Get it right or look like a silly poser.

It's useful to keep a ‼torch‼ handy.

The apple doesn't fall far from the tree.

In any case I'm sycamore of all these tree puns :|

I feel like just copying all the puns from the other thread, but I'd rather branch out and find other ones.

Thread doesn't have any other knots in it besides the splintering puns. I wouldn't count my rings just yet. My green thumb indicates that this is still a mere sapling.

There's a very large chance that alder of these puns have been used before in the literal face palm thread.

Speaking of face palms, the first mod we need is a palm tree that bears fruit in the form of coconuts with faces on them. Admired for it's puns.
