The moment when Urist McGrumpy decided to visit my fortress. I noticed him when he was quite unhappy and I wanted to cheer him up (sadly it was too late - happiness about 20). But then I found out...Wait for the ghost, and let him haunt the moat as a reminder to your dwarves of the dangers of stupidity.
First he went to my meeting place and complained about lack of chairs (well I admit 2 chairs for 30 dwarfs isn't much).
Then he made grudge wit about 20 other dwarfs (still don't know why - perhaps they were stealing his chair).
After that he went on a bridge which was hanged across a volcano.
Next brilliant move was to "throw a tantrum" and destroy this bridge he was standing on.
This wasn't like tantrum described on magmawiki.

In fact mood in my fortress went from happy to ecstatic (one dwarf went to happiness about 1600 - from dwarf therapist).
Now I have to chose whether to make him a slab or wait for his ghost (this could be even more fun
There are a couple of possibilities - you could have an underground lake draining into a magma pipe. The water hits the magma, obsidianizes, and drops, causing the message spam. If the lake is touching a map edge, this process will be infinite.I've had volcanoes spawning a z-level UNDER a lake's surface. They stopped collapsing once the tube got covered in obsidian.
GreatWyrmGold, the problem is not that it's hard to kill them, it's that if a Dwarf kills them, it becomes an enemy of the civ. And a Dwarf that kills that Dwarf becomes an enemy of the civ.Yeah, I thought that the cougar dying would make him the enemy of the fort (or, more idealy, that the cougar would kill the dwarf, but that failed to happen before I passed on the save, so yeah).
Until all are dead.
Luckily the cougar took the fall, so no probs there
Come to think of it, will dwarves get bad thoughts if a dwarf rots under ground?Only if they notice the miasma.
Any progress?Sorry again, computer troubles+RL=little internet time. Worse news is a-coming, though. Short version: I got to around Autumn, then the save got screwed up and I got angry. Go to the next guy, sorry.
Very nice advice.Good luck.
Although, there's always the option of, you know, not fighting next to water.
