I love the justice system in Dwarf Fortress.

During the early part of the game where my prison was not yet built I appointed 10 dwarves as guardsmen to keep the peace. Shortly after there was a mayor that violated a trade agreement. What did my fine upstanding bastions of justice decide was the appropriate response to this minor, white-collar crime?

Immediate. Fucking. Gang. Beating.

10 stout little fuckers wearing leather gloves with iron studs and steel-shod boots just knocked this ex-city official’s teeth across the dining room. Good times.

I have more than a few caged elves. I have a nearby cave, particularly a mound of stone, which I'd dug into just a little to create a staircase from the center going up. I love color-coded wood. Result? A quick hash together of Blood Thorn logs, harvested from deep underground and built into an enormous tree, with a trunk about 8 levels high (plus the height of the cave) and adorned with elves in cages. It will be a testament to my would-be ambushers, a crippling blood red, barren tree, devoid of leaves or fruit, except for its clutches of caged elves splattered amongst its branches. I've started basic construction, namely the main trunk over a 7x7 area made into a rough cylinder. My only regret is that elves cannot be strung by their necks and left to dangle in the wind.
