I've gotten to the point in Adventure Mode where the rumour list is a little unwieldy. I don't care that months ago I was attacked by a two-humped camel, nor do I care for the lag that occurs every time I open the list looking for the entry on the death of the creature some quest-giver has just mentioned.

There are several problems with the battle reports that build up.
1. They stick around forever.
2. They include unimportant conflicts (eg. your companion's compulsive attempts to render the crab and the kea extinct).
3. They include things that aren't even conflicts (eg. animal people trash-talking you as you walk right by them).
4. They're not arranged by anything except chronological order.

There are several things I'd like to see in particular:
1. A sorting option, something like Fortress Mode has for displaying a dwarf's skills.
2. The option to permanently delete entries.
3. A freakin' search option!

Unfortunately, boasting about your kills doesn't seem to work. A lord asked me to kill a certain beast which I already knew I'd taken care of, so I bragged until that particular beast came up and then asked the lord where it was. "Probably on the move or deep underground." No, I just told you it was dead!

Return of "brag about every figure you killed" option would be nice too. Let them sort out how they feel about my massacre of ringleaders and night trolls.

This, so much all of this.

I've pretty much given up on spreading rumors because it gets filled up FAST, mainly with animal attacks that aren't attacks (and sometimes animals attacking other animals) but can also fill with 'attacks' that aren't physical attacks. And it just becomes unwieldy and unsearchable.

A long lived adventurers rumor log will reach into several hundred entries 90% of which are stuff I don't care about.
