I don't kill the elves that come to trade.

Nor do I. I play it straight, meaning I play my dwarves realistically. They aren't evil, insane, into genocide, killing kittens and migrants for fun, etc.  I don't tinker with artifact creation, because for me it's evenmore fun when that one special artifact comes about by chance.  Not that there's anything wrong with other play styles, I just have more fun with mine.

I don't do megaprojects but that's only because I lack patience and the ability to visualize things in 3d.

I love making rock crafts and I rely on those and the crap dropped by invaders for trading. I use my metals for weapons and stuff only unless there's a mandate.  I dont use the justice system at all.

I savescum carefully when digging adamantine.

Despite having played since 2D days, I currently have my first succesfull fort without either traps nor danger room. (170 pump operators training 2/3rd of months)

I don't even bother to reclaim any rooms I flood; I have just built my ninth trading area.

Burning and raping the land is recreational. Where business is concerned, though, sustainability is the name of the game.

I don't like it when migrants die....

Unless they are High Master Fish Dissectors.

I always thought it was a horribly creepy profession.

I cannot kill one bronze colossus.

FB's check, demons check, trolls check. Not this guy though.

I currently have 5 Titans and 1 Forgotten Beast in cages, and I'm in the process of transferring them into golden masterwork cages or adamantine cages.  I can't bring myself to kill unique creatures and will scum-save for a week to capture them.  On the other hand, my zoo is going to be legendary.

I will spend hours obsessing over a 'perfect embark', then play it for about 2 hours before getting bored and either switching versions randomly up or down or trying some random mod...
rise + repeat ad nauseum x however many months it has been since df 31x

They're nearly as bad as badgers. Build a couple of anti-buzzard SAM sites marksdwarf towers and your fortress will look like Baghdad in 2003 from all the aerial bolt spam. You waste a lot of ammo and everything is covered in unslightly exploded buzzard bits and broken bolts.

I've tried to sell artifacts. You can't, of course, but I was trying to do it.

I bury the dead in cheap hallways rather than elaborate tombs.

I slave over making sure nobles are 100% happy and always try to fulfill their needs.

Not proud of that last one.

Everyone is confessing to good things.  You're supposed to confess the embarrassing things!  Tell us about how you pamper the elves, or you fulfill every mandate given to you, because it's the good thing to do!

I don't kill elves unless we're at war. Does that count?

I like having the elves around (I don't like sending dwarfs outside, so I buy lots of wood). I use the wood to manufacture lots and lots of menacing spikes to fill the bottom of my pit trap, if that helps any.
