I'm going to end it all.
« on: September 03, 2010, 02:57:00 pm »

How should I?

A)  Prepare a magma 'SCREW THE WORLD!' device
B)  Breach HFS
C)  Catsplosion (FPS death)
D)  Mass Dwarven Suicide Chamber
E)  Burning lignite bins + Overworld Map
F)  Give everyone a pet alligator.
G)  Last Dwarf Standing super-survivor arena
H)  Mass Artifact/Masterwork destruction
I)  Cave the entire map down into the magma sea
J)  Prepare a REAL goblin siege, with 100+ goblins, 20+ trolls, and various mounts unleashed behind my defenses and see how far my traps can go?  (Armok's favorite, i'm sure.)
K)  Variation of J.  Goblin Supersiege vs. The Clown Aramada?
L)  Get the worst noble possible (though selective magma-ing) and attempt to have all my dwarves jailed at once?
M)  Forgotten Beast Blood Sauna?
N)  Prepare a ginormous dwarf-launching bridge and fling everyone in random directions
O)  Use Runesmith to blind all dwarves and see just how they fare
P)  'Bad King', specially isolate a very demanding Forgotten Beast Adamantine King to where dwarves can come 'serve' him but he cannot escape the fort
Q)  The Dwarflander, drops dwarves from 3 z-levels with no medical intervention, allowing only those who survive to continue
R)  Go Hippy, stop eating meat, using wood, metal, and farming and live off the land-  and on the land
S)  How I Make Babby, kill all female dwarves and let them age to death
T)  Vomitorium, force every dwarf to cave adaptation then lock them in a bright, shiny room with food and booze for a lifetime and see how long they last (without beds)
U)  Hazardous Workplace, put an automated upright spike (menacing spike) trap behind the door of every workshop and watch OSHA have a fit
V)  Aquadwarves, dump them into 4/7 water labyrinth with a few breathing spots lined with traps and carp venemous water monsters, and see if anyone survives?
W)  Yggdrasil, attempt to build a 50 z-story tree (out of wood, of course) and survive the elven hypocritical ambushes
X)  Dead Weight, attempt to replace EVERYTHING possible with lead, and watch my dwarves crawl to a halt.  Also, no booze.
Y)  We're All Mad Here, use Runesmith to force all but one dwarf into a strange mood at once.
Z)  D'oh, make everyone a miner and cause them all to die by digging into something unintelligent.

D FOR DWARF)  Build a 'Dwarven Laboratory' and cage all manner of horrific beastiest, for !!SCIENCE!!.  Nothing can possibly go wrong, unless that janitor accidentally pulls the 'off' switch on the 10 megaton ectoplasmic containment unit.  (Bonus for Doom references)

Combine A, B and D.

Mass suicide with magma+water obsidian cave-in that collapses the entire fort and it's population down to funland.

I'm under the impression that they won't drown in anything less than 7/7 water, so V needs a bit of work.

Tommy is correct. 4/7 water just gets them swimming. To drown, the water must be 7/7, and be enclosed.

What is this, a therapy session? We don't need to console someone because they're upset about a fucking video game. Grow a beard, son, and take off those elf ears!

They have to get tired sometime. Once they do they start drowning cause the whole place will be in 4/7 water and there might not be any stair to get out of it. He doesn't want to drown his dwarfs outright he want them to swim to their death.

Anyways I think you should definitely do G and F and see how far your dwarfs and pet alligator go. Last man(reptile) standing wins(a lava bath)!

AA) If you only have one layer of SMR above Princeto... Clown College you could try dropping your fort through the roof via Cave-in.

ALL AT ONCE.

Or Y. The thought of a melancholy babbling berserk fortress pleases me. Also, in an effort to make things even more fun,

Put levers around. Lots of them. One for magma, water, sealing doors, unleashing seiges, beasts, ferocious creatures, and cave-ins.

For !!science!! of course.

A normal ballista does damage by piercing with overlarge arrows, a dwarven ballista does damage by crushing with entire trees.

They will run, naked, into the caverns and roll around in whatever nearby filth is available.  Watch for gory explosions.

That won't work.
SMR eats anything that attempts to be on the same tile as it.

but you'd get to ERASE YOUR FORT FROM EXISTENCE. Think of how awesome that would be. your dwarves just removed a LARGE section of the world from reality. No atomsmasher can even HARM raw stone, so this is several orders of magnitude more impressive. Granted, your game is likely to explode...

This is a platinum warhammer. All craftsdwarfship is of the highest quality. it menaces with spikes of platinum.
there is an image of the goblin Utes Gozrusrozsnus and dwarves in elf bone. The goblin is making a plaintive gesture. the dwarves are striking a menacing pose.
this image relates to the slaying of Utes Gozrusroz

Do them all...make sure in an order that they all can happen at once/in succession.

But make sure you do it while wearing nothing but a coonskin hat.  Because that is just more hardcore  8)
