Elves don't give shat about sentinent races, but oh no, you can't kill that deer, thats murder!

Good revenge though, I applaud you.

I kind of assumed that it would be a big deal to them when the stuff is made from them. I know how humans feel about it ("Ahh, fuck it, it's pretty!"), but elves.. Had to try though, and it gave me a laugh :)

Yeah, traders don't care if it's made from their own bones yet. Or can't tell

No such excuse with the human skull totem I ended up with. It was the liason too, died of old age

Someone needs to find a way to hack a traders limb off and then sell a craft made of that limb back to him on a later visit.

Or, simply hack it off then have him pay you for it back.

Those are imported elf bone amulets, presumably from a goblin squad commander with world-gen scalps?  Perhaps the fact that they're generated in world gen exempts them from the elves' bone ban.

I've been a little annoyed by the bone/leather amulets/earrings/crowns thing, because I have to clean up hundreds of them after every seige, and they're worth nothing anyway.  I had one guy who was wearing *thirteen pages* of trophy jewellery.  If they're acceptable for elf trading, that seems a great way to get rid of them.  I mean, it's that or chuck them in lava.

the elves' bone ban.

In .40d, the only thing I've seen the elves get annoyed by is wood.  Not bone, not leather, not slaughtering animals in the butchery right next to the trade depot...just the fact that I happen to have dumped all those things into a wooden bin for convenience.

Also, you can manufacture vomit at a smelter.  Subsequently removing the smelter spews vomit over a surprising area.
