What's the evilest thing you've done in fortress mode? I recently tried to trap a dwarf in a Harlan Ellison style prison underground so that if the fortress ever got taken out she'd be there to wait for migrants. Didn't pan out.

[Aspgren]

Nothing really .. I take care of my dorfs.

Though I have spent much time killing animals for no real reason. Once I even had such an abundance of animals that i chasm'd some 100 creatures.

Migrant meeting area under repeating drawbridge?

[Internet Kraken]

Does the entirety of Townbrush count?

Well, if I had to chose one thing, I guess it would be intentionally letting all the wounded and cripples starve to death because they weren't helping me at the moment.

Once I collected 1000 or so cages of prisoners from various sieges & ambushes, stripped them of all their gear, then had them all fight one dwarf. The dwarf, clothed in adamantine and equipped with an adamantine sword, won.

this was 40D btw, so it was easier for dwarves to be killing machines.

It is standard practice in a later game fort - but every once in a while, I get a twinge of guilt as a respond to "Urist McDoggy has had puppies!" with Z-A, find the newborn pups, and mark each one for slaughter.  :|

Later on I notice that the backpacks the military carry their food around in are made of dog hide, inside is dog roast, and when they get wounded they are cleaning themselves with cat soap.

when I first opened the caverns, I sent my miners and a half dozen haulers to set up a camp down there, but when a huge troglodyte raid started to attack them, I freaked out and floored over the entrance, thinking they were all dead, after seeing a couple kill messages (but I didn't count them).  About a month after, I saw the "died of dehydration" message and look down to see that one of  the miners had killed most of the troglodytes and saved 2 of the haulers, but they both died of dehydration before I could get down there to save them.
found out later that the miner was pregnant D:

Sometimes I let the elves live.

If you count killing all of "Smithswims" over 1 lost sock, then yes, my king lost his sock, threw a tantrum, tantrum spiral, but I HAD PREPARED! OPEN THE FLOODGATES OF HEAVEN HELL!

Relieasing two goblins and a troll in the hospital to "take care" of the 8 cripples who would never be able to walk again.
... subverted because I had put my military outside the hospital to "take care" of the monsters when they were done, two of the patients were soldiers, and they somehow jumped out of their beds long enough to slaughter the enemy.

I had uncovered a cavern, and decided to chuck down a few puppies to explore it for me. Unfortunatly for them I had discovered the cavern about seven or so Z Levels above the floor. I chucked the first one down. It landed fine, was a little bruised, but it trotted off a few spaces and then sat down. The second one landed, and was only a little bruised, it did not, however, move on.

The third puppy had a softer landing, if a little stickier.

Built a death chamber for annoying dwarves.

Serrated glass circular saws+cave-ins=dead dwarves.

[Johnny Madhouse]

Baron execution. I baited a tiny closet with a cask of delicious alcohol in the form of 30 sunshine in an artifact barrel. He starved to death,deliriously happy, after I walled him in.

You monster!
