You can only enjoy Dwarf Fortress if you're a little disturbed.  The forums just push it along a bit more.

That must explain part of it. The extent of displacement from norm was unexpected.

Also, I've noticed before that having no job makes dwarves ecstatic.  I left them with no food, water, or job, and they sat around at ~700 mood.  Just standing around chatting, and WHAM!  It may be worthwhile to place your prison in your dining hall, so the tantrumers can chat for free, and mood-up.

The happiness is from socializing.  "Made a new friend."  "Talked to a friend."  "Started a romance."  Etc.  No meeting area + personal rooms will reduce this.

You could also make a meeting area over the prison to get people to socialize with the prisoners.

Also, obviously, magma avalanches and tsunamis weren't exactly a contingency covered in the mission briefing.
I can assure you that Ardentdikes is not the first fortress to be flooded with magma. What's unusual is that we actually meant to flood it with magma.
