You probably should not hiss on C if you have no real experience with it. It can handle OOP just fine (better than Perl, for one), and I doubt Toady used even single goto statement. In hands of unexperienced (or, worse, too self-confident) programmer C++ is far worse than C.

C is OOP? I was under the impression that C wasn't, and thus the reason C++ came into light. I work primarly in C++, java, and the new kid on the block C#, never realy put any effort into C, so I can only go off old legends of legacy systems.
The more you know...

C is extremely powerful. However, using it as an OOP langage, is, well, most awkward. It works but is a pain in the ass to code.

I was messing around in Object testing arena making gaint battles and at one time I was playing I saw something I just had to share...
If you were seeing this though the eyes of the guy I was controlling, what would you be thinking?
My creator is using a tileset? How weak.

Polar Bears work well too!

Yeah, I do the "why is the roof opening oh god oh god" thing with hordes of grizzly bears.

Or simply designate a dump zone on 1 tile of the drawbridge while down, and then designate that particular cage for dumping. If you don't value the cage, that is. Otherwise yeah, you'd have to build the cage you want to discard and swap the prisoner into it.
No. I can't do that. Not because I value the cage, but because I want to see them flying through the air.

Oh, and to save you from wasting time - I tried to push them off the map with pressurised water, and that didn't work.
Good luck on the drawbridge part.

Hm. That's a bit ellaborate, as it requires forbidding every cage but the one I'm to build. It might work though. Will give it a try.

No, no, you can select it directly (there is an expand key, or something), when building the cage.
Also, a drawbridge launch direction is rather random; so you may want to ensure the creature either stays in the cage, or can't be launched into your soft, squishy haulers.

I don't want to dump the cage. I want to Pit the prisoners inside. That's why Part 1 of my question is important.

You may want to build the cage right next to the pit. The dungeon master, from my experience, seems good at handling things; but take this with a grain of salt.

I was not suggesting you wanted to dump the cage; merely reacting to the "build it on the bridge" guy.

Plus the website I frequent is stuck in a Minecraft obsession phase, which to be honest is kind of annoying.
Same here.

Same with stumbleupon. Before it was 50% bieber, now it's 50% minecraft. Uuuuugh.

You CAN use a drawbridge. Just put it one Z level lower, and then Pit prisoners onto it.

That's... exactly what I said? You can dump the cage on the bridge, not build it.

2. you can't load a prisoner into a catapult
But you can load cages onto a drawbridge.

I don't think you can do that.
I'm certain, however, that you can dump them.

Dump them in the magma.
Dump magma on them. Before they get on the ground.
