That's a damn sexy thong.

They must think injustice absurd; above all, they must think it startling. They must retain the violence of a virgin astonishment. When the pessimist looks at any infamy, it is to him, after all, only a repetition of the infamy of existence. But the optimist sees injustice as something discordant and unexpected, and it stings him into action.

The name of the dwarf sown(?) on the thong is named Kosoth Whiprumors as well.

I just turn the artefacts off... I used to allow them, but I never end up using the junk, for anything at all. Theres that interesting bit with being able to make a legendary metalsmith or something, but until I figure out how that works, I have virtually zero use for the artefacts. The worst ones are made of cheap bone... eesh. And oak, dont talk so about it! If the dorf was gonna pick a log, he was gonna pick a log. The oak is the most epic one of them, unless you're aiming for a fancy colour from the caves.

Getting possessed is always such a waste. It potentially costs you a dwarf, with nothing gotten in return.

Oh and yeah, if I were to allow creation of an artefact, I would always PACK IT. That way I'd get something worth seeing.

I once got a steel mug with goblin bone and black diamonds on it. Sounds really cool but its completely useless ingame.

I also got a fell mood where the dwarf took my legendary weapon/armorsmith and butchered him and turned him into a chair. While not an useless artifact the loss of a legendary armor and weaponsmith far outweighed anything the dwarf ever could produce. DO NOT BUILD YOUR BUTCHER SHOP NEXT TO FORGES.

Certainly you could argue that DF is a lot like The Sims, only... you know... with more vomit and decapitation.
If you launch a wooden mine cart towards the ocean at a sufficient speed, you can have your entire dwarf sail away in an ark.

I've got two thongs in my current fort, one leather and one silk. Something for everyone, I guess.

My current fort, Dragongild, has more than fifteen artifacts.  Of them, exactly three are usable: a hatch cover, a cage, and a ridulously awesome coffin.  The rest are all amulets, rings, earrings, and other such useless things.  I have no fewer than three perfect gems.  They are completely useless.

My worst artifact so far?

A bone mace.
Just that.
A bone mace.
No engravings no bands...
No anything!

I'm quite sure it's just a large femur...

Oh, I totally disagree.  In my current fortress I've gotten an artifact statue and an artifact weapon rack, which are great for instantly elevating a room's value for nobles, plus I got an artifact crossbow.

Then again, I also got this:


Yeah, a single artifact sock.
