A friend of mine showed me it and it looked neat, then he plopped me into the game blind and made me learn it...

Haha, sounds like my conversion tactic  .

I just deluge them with stories of Boatmurdered and necrobacon and the FAILCANNON (possibly my favorite DF contraption ever made) and the Hamlet of Tyranny and dwarven childcare.

We can keep them constantly unhappy, then when faced with a massive siege, we execute the relatives to push them over the edge. We could hold parents hpstsge for this purpose. Then, we unleash the dwarf on our enemies

This is actually a really good idea.

That idea is the dwarven equivalent of a nuclear reactor -- keep the core on the verge of a chain reaction but never actually let it get there.
And just like real-life nuclear reactors, something going wrong results in flying limbs and major infrastructure damage.

But we can control when the cadmium rods dear relatives are executed, for the most part. Keep them in a locked room with some quick way to kill them, and as long as the food and drink supplies are brought in, they should be fine. Even if something holds up the alimentary delivery system, it takes a while for dwarves to completely starve.

I think.

One can exhibit literalness, but it is simply an abstract characteristic, so you can't be literal, and ...
So, turn someone into literalness. They are now an abstract quality, not a person.

Quining.

Eh, DF was a natural progression in my timeline of games to try, personally. Been doing MUDs and whatnot since I was in 6th grade.

I congratulate you, sir.

Examine the outside through the largest window.

Paralyze a government when they interpret it as a legal document.

The cuckoo's egg, but stored on Windows (where, obviously, it's not executable.)

Congratulations. Now you just need to shut off the magma flow just long enough to build certain nobles a bed under it.
