Anyone who has idea's? 50 dorfs are tauntruming out of control due to the 51th dying due to siege.
Several have died due to the spiral, more are going to die soon.

How will I get out of the spiral?

[Stargrasper]

Most likely, the best you can hope for is to abandon and reclaim.  Dwarves individually may come out of tantrum, but then they'll just get attacked by another or their friend will die and they'll start tantruming again(or just go insane, making them totally irrevocable).  Really, you can't do much more than either abandon or wait it out and hope two or three dwarves actually survive.

Build some chains/cages and set to justice, and hire as many fortress guard as you can.

[Shadetree]

I had a 140+ tantrum spiral whittle my dwarfs down to one single Urist.

He enjoyed solitude and worshipped the goddess of Death, Decay, and Fortresses.

He was a little down for a bit but was pleased as punch before the season changed.

I finally got migrants and not even a minute later he drowned hisself.  Guess he really liked his solitude.  I miss him.

Start making a good variety of high quality food and booze.  Hopefully you can get a few people to enjoy a good drink.  While the rest get locked up. 

Pull up a chair and watch the Fort crumble to the ground.

If you still can do it, get a fortress guard, being released from jail gives a dwarf a very powerful happy thought that will stop him from tantruming for a while.

That is, if the hammerer doesn't feel like dishing out some old fashioned 'justice' instead.

You're looking for cheap and fast ways to generate happy thoughts.

Make sure you've got some nice statues in the meeting area. As Satarus says, make lavish meals at the kitchen. If you've got cabinets and coffers laying around, drop them into random bedrooms. If there's a waterfall on the map, consider putting a couple statues next to it and mar(q)uing it as a sculpture garden - note the bit about installing artifact furniture in gardens/meeting areas.

I have statue's in the meeting area, one coffin which happens to be an artifact, I wanted to save that for my first dead legendary marksdwarf after years of faithfull service. No waterfall, good food is available.

You can also start placing cage traps to catch tantruming dwarves so they don't cause as much destruction.

Wicked idea, going to try that
(Do the cages have to be made of metal?)

[Slogo]

I don't think they do, wooden should be fine unless I'm mistaken.

[Angellus]

One part in me yells 'yay, lets trap them!'
Then the other side comes up with 'We don't have cages...'

 

[Slogo]

You could also build doors and forbid them to section off your fort I suppose.

[Angellus]

They wreck doors

D'oh of course =/ You could use constructed walls then I guess.
