If you read his old post you will find out TC is just trolling. He is just as sick as we are.

It is very easy to become evil after seeing the horrible things that your charges inflict upon themselves even without your instruction.

Just now I saw a mother give birth next to the 20z level tall garbage to magma sea chute.  She was apperantly pointing in the correct direction to send the baby directly into the pit.  Shortly after the metalsmiths complained of an odd smell of burning baby and the mother remained ecstatic.

If that's the kinda thing they do without direction, our occasional lapse of morals is made up for by giving them something to do with their lives other than thinking up new inventive abortion methods.

I had an idea for a mega-construction the other day. I call it the "Harbinger of the Cat-pocalypse" Its a 10 story tall cat statue that, upon pulling a lever, vomits forth enough blood to drown the world. I was thinking of using the blood of immigrants for it.

I had hoped it would vomit cats on unwary guests (which, if tall enough will explode on impact).

Not if it hits a creature/person unfortunetly, dammend bugged falling physics...

I don't think I'm that bad though

I accidentally breached the cotton candy, after which the clowns came running towards my fort from ANOTHER cotton candy strand. I've walled them off.
I then promptly proceeded to dig some execution chambers next to the breach. I used burrows to force the next migrant wave (except for a high master bone doctor) into the execution camber, given them all the leather armor they could loot from the goblin corpses around the main entrance, they also got some weapons dropped by the goblins. After this I had one of them dig through the wall separating them from the Clowns.

9 migrants, dressed in leather, wielding random weapons they have no experience with, highest level fighter is "novice", against one wave of "attack of the clowns". There are legs being chopped off and flying around, and they aren't dwarven legs, the worst damage my "suicide squad" has sustained are some bruises. It would seem that it's true what they say about ragtag bands of misfits against impossible odds.
I really like the way this is going, especially since I've got 50+ completely useless dwarfs (cheesemakers, wtf?) walking through my fortress, sitting in my dining hall, admiring my engravings, drinking my booze!

And once they're tired of visiting circus acts, I've got a new show planned for the elven traders (just a little detour  )

Ok, so maybe I am.

[Akura]

Honestly though (as in on topic) I don't kill my dwarves just for killing. Elves yes, but they frigging deserve it (one little wooden piece of crap and they go "OMG! YOU KILLED A TREE! YOU MONSTER!").

Particularly when 85% of the crap they bring is made of or comes from wood. Besides, it seems their botaniphilia is limited to trees, regular plants get no such treatment, if the amount of rope reed fiber they bring you is any indication...

Yes you are. How could you give them leather armor! Don't you know most dwarves are allergic? They were better off without anything. And they probably hurt their muscles while using those weapons!

Pah! You bad, bad person.

For me, it's a combination of utilitarianism and sadism. That is, sometimes I feel the need to drown elves or drop children into the circus to watch them play with clowns, but generally it's simply easier to have complete disregard for all dwarven and animal life.

[WrathNail]

With strict birth control (child ratio = 0) and restriction of total population (80 max) in my latest embarks, I have use for every immigrant. And I found it to be much more utilitarian to let the elves live so they can take their useless crap (and some of mine) with them, as opposed to burning them alive.

So alas, no more senseless killing for me. Except goblins, but y'know.. Asking for it and all that.

Every immigrant? Even the High Master Cheese Makers and Great Lye Makers?

You can always sell cheese and lye.

Even those. Naturally, they can expect to get the "high-risk" jobs, like collecting webs in the caverns, mining the final tile in a magma channel, getting recruited in the military as decoys, etc. If I don't feel sadisti.. uh don't need such dangerous jobs done at the moment, a few extra haulers are also welcome.

[nbonaparte]

I think it would be an interesting challenge to use all migrants for their existing skills only. Peasants are the only haulers.

[Asmageddon]

You just poured enough magma into my "Want to play df" bottle for me to start playing again. I can't be bothered to wait for might creatures..

[albatross]

You are all sociopaths.

May I remind you that sociopathy is not a flaw, but a feature. It is time people like you stop persecuting and harassing us sociopaths and let us continue to live our lives that are filled with sadistic violence and the pleasure we derive from it. Once I've eaten these kittennuggets, I'll see what I can do to organize a movement that defends the rights of sociopaths and protects us from the likes of you. Although what I quoted from your comment is not in itself derogatory or accusatory, the rest pretty much is. Have you no shame? Do you think sociopathy is some kind of choice? It is not. Anyway, I'm getting tired of typing right now, so could you just heat up an iron and repeatedly press it against your face until you are dead? Please? Thanks.
