I finally tired of my latest fort (1x1 Cobaltine pyramid) and decided to induce a tantrum spiral.  All went well, it's finally winding down.  My second favorite part was when my Mary Sue multi-legendary dwarf went berserk and slaughtered the entire hospital ward then half my military.

My favorite part was watching a berserk peasant chase the stupid mayor-chef around in circles for a few days.  He finally caught up, grabbed her baby from her arms, ripped it's leg off, and tossed it aside.  Now *that* is a referendum!

I'll eventually reclaim with Kobolds.  Cobaltine gets it's name from Kobolds, you know?

'Chef' Athelkathil has been very unhappy recently.  She has lost a child to tragedy recently.  She was yelled at by an unhappy citizen recently.  She was very happy to be elected mayor recently.  She enjoyed starting a fist fight recently.  She accidentally killed someone in a fit of rage recently.
(left out the normal stuff)
...
She had her baby's leg thrown at her by a constituent recently.  She is having second thoughts about being mayor.  She regrets annoying Armok by cancelling all those food production orders.
She is married to 'Grower' Clasphandle and has 3.7 children... for now.
She absolutely detests her life.

Further update: One of my champion wrestlers, finally went berserk.  With a mule leather robe in his left hand, a pig tail sock in his right, he set upon a child... he somehow removed both arms and legs, plus the child's head.  He may have used a nearby wall but I got the "struck down" message, not the "collision with an object" one.
Now waiting for my last two sane dwarves to dehydrate to death in a murky pool.  Fun

If they killed the Guild Representative, the one who comes with every human caravan and negotiates what you import, then you don't get a replacement and can no longer as the humans for specific goods.
This also angers the humans, like seizing a caravan, though in my experience the other civs are very tolerant so I wouldn't say war is guaranteed.

If they actually killed the Diplomat, who the humans send to negotiate peace... you may be in an endless war.

Edit: Wiki reminds me the Diplomat appears to large fortresses for no purpose.  Same answer as liason, they won't like it, plus they may never declare peace.

V It's only 1AM here (:  Still latearly enough for sleep though. V

This is a very complete and easy to understand explanation.  I knew it worked for artifacts, maybe meals, but never thought to try anything else.  Thank you for the testing and write-up.

Haha... fair enough.  I'll take second pick, if you please (:

That's why I put my statement in bold, so maybe dragnar will roll on it (:
Who knows?  Maybe I'll be the chump who summons you.  That kinda depends on dragnar.
(Sings "shoot him again, he's not dead yet")

Ah, what the hell.  I shouldn't, but I will.
