Poor drider... atleast he will be remembered  
I'm going to add the story in, despite him being a modded race. Since driders do not have a higher likelyhood of dieing because of frozen stairs ( :s ), the mod doesn't give you an advantage over others.
I don't suppose you still remember his name, so I'll call him
"Drowned Iceswimmer"

Where's the award for being a naked murderer?

[Kagus]

Assassin award:  Kill a civ leader or city leader without killing or being noticed by anyone else in town.

Funeral Pyre award:  Throw an important enemy's corpse on top of a tree, and then set the tree on fire.

One Shot, No Kill award:  Most useless bodypart hit by an arrow/bolt/blowdart. Projectile must be the first shot to hit an enemy, and must stick in the wound to qualify.

Connoisseur award:  Most different vermin types eaten.

Friendly Fire award:  Most enemies launched into other enemies.

MINE! award: Most random items wrestled off of a living, conscious enemy.

Queensberry Rules award: Only use punching.  No grabbing, strangling, throwing, or hitting an opponent while he's down.

"Pay the Ferryman" award:  Place two copper coins on the corpse of each enemy humanoid killed.

Burning Man Festival award:  Most people set on fire while you are on fire. Chain reactions do not count.

Return To Sender award:  Remove a stuck projectile from your body, and then throw/shoot it back at the person who fired it, killing them.  Bonus points if the wound inflicted on you is fatal.

Bloodline award:  Eradicate an entire family tree.

Dwarf Fortress Gold Cup:  Kill a giant cave spider by throwing vomit at it, kill a megabeast or demon with a single fired arrow/bolt/blowdart, kill a goblin axe lord by strangling it, kill a carp and then beat a town to death with it.  Congratulations, winning is fun.

EDIT:  Yes, I know some of these are really easy to get.  Still though...

Anyways, got two more.

Don't Look Down award: Cause an enemy to dodge off of a building or cliff.  Only awarded if the creature dies from the fall.

Kagus: I altered some of the names or the goals a bit.
Disciplines should be as hardest to maximize as possible.

All: Comeone people, have a shot! We have loads of disciplines and awards to try and best!

[PTTG??]

All right; I'm going for !!Treehugger!! via an elf with a grudge. I'll go for named trees.

OK! Here are some of the best names:

"The Cat of Worship"
"The Firey Vale"
The Hairy Tulips, right next to the accurately named "Woodenshaft"
"The Fabulous Fountain"
"Roarrulled the Massive Glitter"
"The Immortal Oak" : This pine is wrong on two accounts

And the total ignited trees? Well, here's the gamelog:

Two nitpicks: I did spell "Barrett" right, with two "t"s. M-82 Barrett is an AM rifle.
And I can't help but wonder why I am mentioned in the contributors (twice?), but not in your edit line?
Not that I care much.  

[Tayrin]

There have been some hiccups in recovering The Sand of Busting, the artifact adamantine war hammer I was planning to use. First, some technical difficulties, and then secondly, someone ran off with the item to locations unknown, and has not yet been located. Investigations are under way and it is expected that the artifact will be recovered shortly.

Thanks for the suggestion, Asheron, and have fun in England! England? Hey, that's where I am! Anyway, hopefully I'll have propelled a few giant scorpions right across a desert by the time you return, with The Sand of Busting. That name sounds like a vague coincidence considering how and where I'll be using it.

[Edit] Grammar.

[Helmaroc]

The Godly Fisherman: Most carp killed by single adventurer

The Sickly Dwarf: Most units of vomit made by single adventurer

Oh, and, as a placeholder for the tallest construction, I made "The guard tower" out of wood, it was 2z levels high.

[ March 30, 2008: Message edited by: Helmaroc ]

[Jay]

Tallest construction: 5 z-levels.

[Lyrax]

I'm sure this will get beaten by someone, but I have an artifact adamantine mace that's worth about 1.5 million dwarfbucks.  I would post proof, but I just lost my trader, and he was the only appraiser I had.  

[Kagus]

Uhh...  I thought I'd done quite well with the DF Gold Cup...  Any particular reason for leaving it out?

[Kelwyn]

http://web.mac.com/kelwyn.graham/Site/fortress016.png

that's +9z. Unfortunately I can only go to +15z  

[Kennel]

26 z-levels

   

Oh, and it's pure gold/silver

And other stats:

I'm going for The Heart of Gold award, although it's about adventure mode.

So, I thought that this was pretty improbable.

And the fishes are eating dead dwarves buried in the bottom of the sea in wood caskets. I thought they would float.

EDIT: The Parting is a bug and it was fixed very recently, so does it count? Or do bugs count in any entries?

[Asehujiko]

Does Return to Sender also apply to melee weapons that get pulled out and hurled? If yes, i had a human axeman get a spear stuck in his leg, the owner dodged away while i pulled it out so i headshotted him with it, tearing his throat out, along with an eye and i somehow cut his ear as well.
