unfortunately for that admittedly brilliant plan; the elves won't survive a full 12 months to be sold to the next caravan. Their corpses won't last long in there either thanks to dwarves and their strangely arranged OCD triggers.

Dwarves feed caged prisoners. Just feed them enough so that they won't die, but will be sold dehydrated and starving.

Of course, give them water only on wooden buckets and... no wait, i've got a better idea.

Make wooden chains constructible. Build your trade depot of wood, make wooden floors nearby, and chain your starving, dehydrated prisoner elves near the depot. Be sure to give them enough water so they survive up to the next caravan, only in wooden buckets though, and give them only low quality plants (rat weed, prickle berries, muck root) to eat. In wooden barrels. Be sure that all the wood that is used for them has been chopped down and processed under their eyes. All wooden items must also be dwarf-made.

Then manage to get them go berserk when the next elven merchants are unloading. And the finishing touch... keep a few dwarf-made wooden weapons (or training weapons) handy for the berserkers to kill their own kin with wood.

You can now call yourself a villain, and an Evilly Affable one.

Oh, did I forgot that all dwarves serving elves must have at least Skilled rank in Comedian ?
Armok approves your taunting of the elves.

When something isn't quite dorfy enough, just add magma.

It's too bad we don't have a slowly lowering or sliding wall that reveals the captured elves. I guess we'll have to settle for lowering upright bridges instead.

Or you could build a dwarfputer, link it to the Internet, and give the elves a link to TVTropes.

Hold on, I'll be back in 1500 clicked links.

You need to decorate all those items with clear glass and stud them with wood.

Yes. Clearly a bug that ought to be fixed in the future, but exploit it in the meantime.

I'm trying the murder and maim with both elves and humans.  Nothing yet, but it's early days.

The last few forts, where I started at war with the elves, were SO MUCH FUN, I want to recreate that....

Because DF players are heavily into pain.
