Oh man.
Awful, horrible idea:
Set up firing squads.
Make your prisons, say, a 3x3 block of 3x3 prison cells, but not closed off by walls. Have a huge staggered line of ballistas at one side. When prisoners go in to the jail, close the doors and order the ballistas to be fired. Carnage ensues.

I'm going to have to try that with my SCIENCE fort. After, of course, the baby catapult.

Edit: I can't find the old version of Dig Deeper, only the current one.

Here's a copy with the full DF folder, including the Dig Deeper mod.

Hmm, you could also have an automated firing squad for dwarves you dislike: have a path coming from the fort which splits into two paths, left and right, perpendicular to the starting path. Have them lead to sand stockpiles, which are blocked by doors. Have two dwarves pull the levers attached to the doors constantly. Assign dwarfs you don't like the glassmaker task; they'll go from one stockpile to another while you gun them down with your ballistas.
For nobles, you could just do a hallway full of offices and beds that you assign to the nobles.

Thanks, Sphalerite. Your terrible deed will provide me with inspiration for my SCIENCE fort. A Secret Dwarven Think-Tank needs a certain, shall we say, level of experience.

dwarves you dislike

 

Whatever happened to solidarity in the face of goblin hordes and annoying nobles!?!

(Oh, nobles don't count. Honestly, what kind of dwarf stands there yelling their beard off about fine pewter when there's science _{read: complex and violent destruction} to be done? The only reason I haven't killed them yet is because I haven't yet scored the King. When I do, and am therefore the Mountainhome, and therefore theoretically cannot receive nobles from anywhere, they're totally ballista fodder. Unless you still get them, in which case they're ballista fodder already.)

Hmm, the worst thing I've ever done...
I went to a human town with my legendary adventurer. I injured (note: not killed) every child there. Then I killed every adult except for the gaurds (so that the children would be protected). Retired. Played a fortress for a while, until it failed, about 18(?) game years later. I started up the legends, looked for the kids I maimed, and wrote down the names of all their family members. Started a new adventure. Went to the town. Maimed all that were related to them. And killed everyone else (excluding gaurds again). I think I did this for 2 more generations of kids. It was a good way to pass a long and boring day.

Then there was a time that I killed every elf in a village, packed their bodies around a large grouping of trees and set the trees and nearby shrubbery on fire. I then moved my adventurer to the nearby hill and laughed maniacally to myself.
