Maybe it would be a good idea to take adamantine and slade off the list of availible materials for next tournament?

If the volcano reaches the aboveground, or even better, is on the highest spot of the map:

Channel the side and watch the whole world burn.

PS. For more fun, do not have any sort of magma-safe door/walls at the entrance to your fort.
I can disappoint you - walls of any material don't burn and doors don't burn unless you open them (which is pointless to do in first place).
Also, AFAIK magma doesn't drain off the edge of the map.

Why would you want less magma?

And I thought the fastest way to empty a volcano was to dig a channel into the side. Preferably right next to a trade depot with elves in it.
For settling inside?
Channeling into the side is definitely viable, but you won't have anywhere to store the magma. Especially if we're talking about underground pool.

JUST DRAIN A LAKE INTO IT!
Pros:
- Volcano can be drained pretty fast
- If tapped correctly, lake will also drain, at least temporarily
- If you let it run long enough, it will drain MAGMA SEA
Cons:
- MURDERS FPS
- With all the dust flying around settling in volcano may be difficult dangerous FUN.

If yes, will it still work if some part of the lake (not connected to any rivers) isn't on the embark site?

I have once seen a volcano under a frozen ocean. However, I died pretty quickly and failed to see the effect of defreeze :(

Edit: And also I once seen an epic intersection of three rivers that left something akin to a peninsula in the middle that was connected to mainland just by 10-tile wide strip of land.

5723
Why did you flood it anyway? And what's up with the corridor shape? Why did you breach the river at all?!

Is that a bedroom being flooded I see to the right?

If you can't post the save, at least post a screenshot.

If only the dorf who threw the lever got the drowns added to their kill count. then we would have a new kind of FUN
Hm. But if noble was told to pull a lever inside his bedroom that floods this bedroom with magma, will he get himself on his kill count?...

5728
What the?... My teammate was killed by just two arrows?!  :'(
I'm doomed.

No, it's just weapon-grade, while garnierite was mined specifically for smelting pipe sections from nickel, since it has no other uses.

Damn, I was owned :(
Anyway, for our team, I vote... hmm... let it be Bull & Snake  :P
