Who knows, maybe the elves use wood for currency, and they're suffering from massive inflation.

Or maybe the elves are really smart when it comes to wood, and when you offer to trade wood to them, they think "Wait a second...this is a pile of worthless garbage.  Much more worthless than those stone rings and scepters and amulets."

Hey, if the elves start trading stone and gems and such, can we get all huffy?  Were player caravans planned for the Army Arc?
"Once part of the beautiful earth, now it is only a rude bauble, fit only for your kind."
Or, more likely...
"Oi, we're not taking that.  It's a load o' rubbish;  We should know, we're the ones who gave it to you in the first place."

I think one of my better ones was "The Inky Forever-Soldiers".

Hmm...build a two tile long alcove in the wall, assign a booze stockpile to the end, then when the Dwarf goes to take a drink...wall him in.
Bonus points if you manage to brew Amontillado.  XD

Well, I suppose I might as well resubmit mine too.

Omrist-Kurig ("Wild Goose", of course)
Spearuse, Armor User, Shield User, maybe a bit of wrestling.  The usual.  Also, throwing.
Used to be a whaler until skeletal whales destroyed that industry.  Now looking for work; primary skills include stabbing things and hurling objects at other things.

And for when you go back to Fortress Mode
Wild Goose

Preferably a Bone Carver, or just assign Bone Carving to whichever dwarf you pick.  Preferably a dwarf who likes bones, of course.
Not like he's going to have any shortage of material round these parts.

Does anyone else like to keep trophies from the Goblins?  Or other enemies, for that matter.
I like masks and skull totems.

I've got a big stockpile set to unusable equipment, and totems, in my great hall.  I melt down all the weapons and armor, and sell all the clothes, but I keep the Goblin Totems and the Masks.  I'm actually trying to decorate them as well, mostly with glass and bone (the two main products of my fortress).

I've currently got them in this big pile in the middle of the great hall, but I was wondering if anyone could think of some other way to use them to decorate.

Also, do Dwarves admire objects in stockpiles?  Or do I have to get around to building a shop so that they actually 'own' the item in question?  It'd be kinda cool if they counted as decorations for my meeting hall, and made dwarves happy.

Going to beat him to death with chainmail?

Pff...real Dwarves just estimate it, start digging, and make corrections after the cave-in.

After all, dig twice, cart the bodies away once.

Oh...that kind of embrace.
