Why not make an ice statue out of them? OR even an elf bone statue... (may require modding)

please not that they don't much like being attacked, by simply pouring magma all over them they will not only be clean and sanitised, but dead.

But then you can't make =elf bone statues= to place around your trade depot! Water to flush them out works much better. Or even better, booze bombs. I hear alcohol is a very powerful disinfectant. Should be even better when its burning.

hmm.... i now have this nice mental image of glass statues of elves.... screaming, faces in horror, pounding against a glass wall.... covered in 7/7 magma :) while the dwarves admire this masterpiece of art from the other side of the glass wall. hopefully its an artistic recreation of a historic event :)

I'm making something like that for my fortress, actually. My first incineration chamber will just be normal walls, but when I have the time and manpower, I'll replace all walls with glass and top it off with glass floors. ;D

the only reason to not kill them is to save them for killing later via target practice or gladiator pit once they go crazy.

Gladiator pit...how about storing several years worth of berserk elves and then dropping the whole lot into the middle of an (active) goblin or orc siege?

How about this for when civs get more developed-inducing another civ (like, say, orcs) to attack the elves, and then "take in" the refugees? ;) A steady supply of elf bone bolts-just give rooms, and control like you do cats!

That won't be an 'elf elf', it'll be a 'goblin elf' that was snatched and raised by goblins. Much more respectable than elves raised by elves. Elf elves only use swords, spears and bows. Unless you've done some modding.

I personally don't mind elves all that much, they provide me all the proto-booze i need on my glacier forts. And all for a single goblin sized GCS silk sock too.
