There should be a competition for bogeyman killers.
That would be a pretty intense learning experience.

I routinely rip bogeymen in half with my teeth. I once killed a bogeyman with a bogeyman corpse. Beat that.

I usually get raped by bogeymen. Through my years of df experience, I never truly learned how to dominate them.

I don't know, I do go into enemy towns and murder people randomly, but hey, war.

Yeah, I guess that's evil.

Also, bogeymen: if you fast travel ASAP after crossing a river, you can keep your companions; if there's a * back at the river, you left them behind and can go back and get them.

I've only survived them legit once, which involved a whole lot of running, waiting and swinging at the first one to catch up, taking out feet, then running again.

I have stood my ground as a husk in 0.34 and a legendary armor using vampire with superior toughness and superhuman strength in the new version.

So far as morality goes, I tend to be fairly neutral.

I mean, I generally don't kill anything that isn't blatantly hostile. 

To give an example, I remember a few versions back, I saw a vampire in a human village.  Every other human in the village was a generic nobody, with random jobs and the same skill level.  The vampire was unique and special.  If I killed the vampire, I would be destroying the only thing actually unique and special in that village.  It would be like leveling the only mountain on the plains, so that everything was a gray, flat expanse. 

I didn't kill the vampire. 

I then went and murdered some dingos, because seriously, screw those guys.

I tried helping a small fortress today, they were being constantly invaded by a nearby necromancer tower (with about 10 necromancers, average age 250+). After my companions became completely obliterated by zombies (literally most of them were one-shot) and trying to fight off the horde for about 300 in-game turns (successfully killing... 6 zombies) I ran and massacred the fortress myself to save the fuss of having to rescue their population. But USUALLY I am pretty moral.

That's pretty moral. It's like shooting a horse that's trapped. If you didn't do it then they'd just die a slower and more painful death.
