"meng verylongchampionname has bled to death!"
"dwarfchild has bled to death!"
"Urist verylongchampionname has gone berserk!"

1 legendary clothier and 2 legendary stonecrafters later my squad of champions take him down. but not before he disables a champion. This was all during an orc siege. I don't know how he tantrumed with my awesome dining room and food. I didn't think having a wife and child killed would cause him to tantrum. maybe he was stationed too long?

military dwarves don't eat in dining rooms last I checked, so he wouldn't have got that bonus.

Sounds just like my current fort-only replace "champion" with "wrestler", add in the fact everyone is booze deprived, and take the fact that the metal smithing area-including weapons and armor-is now his territory. Oh, and it turns out my legendary armorsmith is one of his "hostages". And there are all of five dwarves, none of which have military training, who can take him on (meaning they aren't some lame cripple in bed).

171. My character's dying words are not allowed to be "Hastur, Hastur, Hastur"
218. No matter my alignment, organizing halfling pit fights is a violation.
231. I am not allowed to do anything that would make a Sith Lord cry.

I once made a painstakingly intracite gobbie disposal system that left the bastards outside cages, with all their armor, linked to set them free with a doomsday lever on my fort.

It became useless because I made it too close to the surface, ruining the water pressure and my project along with it.

Constructing a magma trap in front of a fortress. There would be a series of grates over a pool of magma which, when a pressure plate at the front is pushed, would dump anything on them within.

I'd already filled the magma pool, and was having a miner channel an opening to put in the grates. It's a one tile corridor.
He channels the tile in front of him.
He channels the tile behind him.

He channels the tile he's standing on.

I use restricted traffic areas to stop that (one of my dwarves sealed himself in the Corridor of Ballista Doom's protective area) usually.  It means that they'll usually path somewhere else if they can.  However, if it's the only route to somewhere, they'll still go, as I found out with my Carp filled river.
