ahhh... what about the Fire Snakes?
don't build directly over the magma sea, dig into the side with a fortification, and bring the magma to where you want it.  Or channel down, build a grate, and use a pump to separate your forge area from the magma sea.

What I do is I channel and place the impassable part of the forge or furnace over the hole.  No fire snakes or imps ever.

Dear Urist McBabbyoven

Congratulations on the birth your most recent runt.  Hoever, due to the overpopulation of children that you and your fellow baby factories continue to cause, all children in the fort shall now be drafted on their first birthday.  Do not worry! We shall train them all well, and if they survive to become adults they shall be allowed to leave the military and lead normal lives.  This will also cut down on snatcher incidences.

Thanks for your understanding,
Your invisible overseer.

But at least after all the chaos, the weather cleared.

Oh my Armok I laughed so hard at this.  I'm sorry I have to sig it.

... or maybe the Protectors of the Plot Continuum came and shot the poor Mary Sue.

Or the SCP Foundation came to secure her.

Yeah, use magma and get ridiculously cheap steel produced.  Become the steel capital of your world! Armok has blessed you!

Just for grins and giggles I spawned two dwarves in the testing arena, giving one superdwarvenly skills and high master in hammerdwarving, adamantine armor, and the other dabbling in swordsdwarf and leather armor.  I'm ready to see some hammer golf when I see the hammerdwarf dodge a blow... Into the lava. >:( I hope Armok kicked his ass when he got to Dwarfhalla.

Do constructed floors not deconstruct as soon as they fall?

In my experience they didn't deconstruct until they hit the ground floor.  Or maybe they did and it was just their materials that hit the ground.  More investigation is needed.

3x3 cave in trap.  Repeatable in a siege because the area where the constructed floor is is far enough away on the Z-axis that the dwarves don't get frightened by the invaders.  It's connected by a single support and a staircase so they can reset it.

This. I am really tempted to try and think of a way to make them survive it too.

Turn of temp and make dwarves able to breath liquids.

Magma.

Won't work.  Dwarves need untamed wilderness to spawn a civilization and since this is Dwarf Fortress you can't play without a parent civilization.

As to the diplomat. I have had the king be doa. Looking at his status screen it said he was 300 years old so as soon as he entered my map he died of old age.

Most badass king ever.

"I must see the new mountainhomes!"
"Sire you are too wear to travel."
"I shall not be denied!"
*travel*
"Ah, I have seen the new mountainhomes, my life is complete." *keels over, dead*
