I am sure most of you have the moment when you just complete everything necessary and just want to make a giant useless thing for no reason but to waste time, precious metals, dwarf lives and more stuff that you have worked hard to get. Well I once again reached that moment in my game. But I am out of ideas. I just don't have a clue of how to torture my dwarves with an unique useless contraption. So I need you! You MUST tell me how to make them suffer for a building of no point.
I have a volcano but almost no water. Just to give you ideas.

Construct a bottleneck entry point all goblin invaders must use across a bridge.  Which has pressure plates.  Which trigger a 50+ z-level fall.  Bonus points if it drops then straight into the magma sea, or an cotton-candy room filled with cotton-candy spikes, or directly onto TheReallyDenseBlackRockOfForbodingness(tm).  Triple-extra bonus points if you make a contained drop-pit to drop them directly into hell to be dealt with by clowns.  Quad-extra bonus points if you make it a series of carefully controlled automated 1 z-level drops to get them to hell safely in one piece.  50% point bonus on top of this if you do this to elves.

In fact, this idea is so awesome, i'm gonna try to do it.

Race you!

Seems like a good idea. Do my own dwarves also trigger the plates? I want to torture them but not make every passing dwarf die... I'm still open for other ideas.

[celem]

pressure plates can be set to be not triggered by citizens

Build the Magma Mothership in a cavern above the magma sea. It must have room for your dwarves to rest til they reach the core of the earth, it must have food and booze stockpiles and anything you think necessary. Cover it with cotton candy outside and pave the inside with gold. Encrust gold statues and put it inside too.

Then put all your dwarves in the Magmaship and pull the lever. Watch their journey to the center of the earth !

Bonus : build your ship from natural wall and engrave it (instead of constructing it).

Build a survival horror city at an evil biome.

Well since I am not a good engineer and hell freaked me out the last time I breached it I'm gonna pass on the pressure plates idea.
I sealed off everything! But noooo! They came in from the well. The expedition leader survived for 7 months when all the others had died.
I am not at an evil biome. I can't really do that.
The magma mothership thingy is a good idea though. I have a volcano instead of a magma pipe but it will do I guess! It will be the new killing chamber of the useless dwarves who come in with the migrants. Watching them dehydrate wasn't really that fun and there was a chance of someone breaking down the door and going on a rampage... But what is cotton candy? Is it some sort of disguise name for something?

It comes from the circus.

Cotton candy is adamantine, the magical über material. It is very light and it is related to demons (who are also called clowns, because clowns are evil) so it is called cotton candy. You can usually find both clowns and cotton candy in the same area.

damned...you ninja!

No,demons are called clowns because infinite amounts of demons can fit in that little cluster of adamantine.Therefore clown car.

200% bonus if you can trick the game into dropping TheReallyDenseBlackRockOfForbodingness^tm on top of them

[ottottott]

Well... I guess surrounding it with cotton candy is a no then... How about I put a picture of the completed thing here? Sure it won't be much compared to all the awesomeness out there but at least it's something.

I thought it was because clowns, like clowns, provide potentially unlimited amounts of Fun?

Also, the clown car has become a full three-ring circus.

What magma mothership? Sink the entire terrain into the magma sea!
