Recently, i was playing the regular Dwarf Fortress mode, and made a small city, with 74 occupants. Recently, about 10 of them turned psycho and killed literally everyone then died of miasma. Immediately after i started an adventure mode game, and found my old fortress. There had been a cavern collapse, but everything was as it had been, with rotting corpses, blood and death lining every hall. The lower halls were still flooded from a failed experiment and there was still a prisoner safely locked in a cell (lucky bastard)
For various reasons, i think this is the best thing ive seen that you are able to to do any game.
Have any of you ever done anything similar?

Most awesome thing I ever did?  I was running a dwarven wrestler (his skill was legendary by this point in the adventure), who was remarkably fast.  Ambushed, and surrounded by six wolves, I had him grab each of them as they came close.  Three with one arm (upper arm, lower arm, hand), three with the other (upper arm, lower arm, hand).  I then started throwing: two of them hit nearby trees, one of which exploded (the wolf, not the tree), and killing the other instantly.  One of them flew off-screen, and I never bothered to see where it went.  A fourth one hit a tree, then lay there stunned.  I now had two wolves, one in each hand (on their heads).  I proceeded to do what I did to raise my wrestling skill quickly: I tortured them to death.  First, I pinched their noses, the pain rendering both unconscious.  I then began gouging everything I could, then ripping out teeth and tearing off ears.  When they finally passed out from the pain, I started towards the last wolf, who, by the time I got halfway to him, had started limping away: a front leg and back leg were broken, and a few organs were damaged.  When I reached him, I gave him a complete set of broken legs, gouged his eyes out, then released him, sat a safe distance away, then watched the wolf slowly bleed to death.  It took a bit longer than expected, but I'm a patient man.  While I waited, I started licking the wolf's blood from my character's armor, although I quickly filled up on that, it was rather entertaining, watching a wolf bleed to death while drinking splattered wolf blood.

Remember, on Dwarf Fortress, 9 times out of 10, Evil = Awesome.

Just saying, you can't die of miasma.
Except they died at the hands of dorfs who were enranged at the miasma, but thats unlikely.

Yeah, the wrestling system was made for torturing.  And it tends to go up very quickly while you use it, unlike other skills.  Remember, even if what you try to do doesn't work, you still get points for it.  If you wrestle a couple of wolves or leopards to death, you can get a ton of points pretty quickly, provided you soften them up first, then go out of your way to torture them to death really slowly.  Just today, I had a swordsman throw his scimitar at a leopard, then grab it, gouge his eyes out, then bash the leopard to death with his shield.  Every time the leopard tried to stand, I'd just throw him to the ground again.  So, not only did I get points for wrestling, fighting, and misc weapon use, I got to experience the visceral joy of bludgeoning a monster to death with the same shield that kept it from clawing my eyes out.  I love wrestling in this game, it's so delightfully sadistic and unfair!

You cant? Then... What killed everybody...?
EDIT: Got it: After reading the logs, after getting everyone to hide due to the danger, they got hungry and thirsty, and there was no way out since i tried to use demolitions to create safety, incidentally losing my miner. So they were already having tantrums, and the miasma could have pushed them over the edge?

Who knows.  Dwarves die of weird things on a regular basis, like going to get a drink of beer while on fire.  It's odd when a dwarf DOESN'T die from something weird.

Well, after savagely murdering my way through a town using a pair of pants, i must say, wrestling is awesome.

While playing older version, I tried to play adventure mode in "Human: Play now!". I started with cooper spear. *skips big part of story*. Then i got ambushed by 2 cougars. After some time one cougar died from bleeding. Then the other one ripped off my right arm and I dropped my spear. I started punching it and suddenly it started running. I crawled towards my spear, took it with my left arm and throwed it through cougars head, killing it. Then I passed out and died from bleeding...

This is a good one. I made a fort. Designed like big halls, with towers, and each tower was a different workshop place, with stockpiles and such. The entire thing was built under the ocean. I lost the fort and found it in adventure mode, but half of it was flooded, and I spent hours travelling through it, using my pump system, to deflood it and try to get as much treasure as possible. Its so massively fun, to be walking through a fort to suddenly open a door and have water rush out and drag you half way down a hall and into a hole. I actually drowned. I made left a pump running and got washed into a well, and escaped into a room, with water above it, and water below it, and I drowned swimming up and out.

Excellent! At least you didnt get Miasma on your way out...

I snuck through a dark fortress, strangled everyone in their slept, and left with an entourage of 26 prisoners. A bigger hero would've escorted them all back to their surviving relatives, but I just ditched them in the wild. Enjoy your freedom, brats!

EDIT: Okay, this tops it: with only Dabbling Striker skill, gave a minotaur a two-punch kill. Once in the gut, once through the skull.
