I sometimes try to collect the severed hands of bandits, typically as slightly less squicky proof that I killed them than the head.

I also try to recover the bodies of fallen comrades, with the idea of trying to give them a proper burial/cremation. Haven't actually done it, though. A mace to the head usually puts a stop to that; after all, what killed my buddy is probably capable of killing me.

... Yes, the hugs are for everyone.  No stabbing, though.  Just hugs.

Books. All the books.
They are pretty good throwing weapons and it's always fun to choose the killing titles. "The World After The Humans" is my favorite for killing bandits.

What would you throw the now famous "Give me can the market: the easy way save the world?" at?

A bit boring, but after I buy everything I'd possibly want from a town (decent set of armor, enough food to last me), I just horde as much gold and gems as I can.  I usually fill a lair with enough riches to be worthy of a dragon's horde.  Assuming I live that long, of course.

I also try to find myself some kind of amulet.  It doesn't actually do anything, but I like to think they ward off deadly arrows or something.  They don't usually work :P

For me, it's Guts. If I stab someone, and happen to see guts, I just gotta have them for myself.

oh yea i collect bodies that i haven't decapitated as well, thats what my zombie bomb is, a backpack filled with bodies so i can throw it and mass reanimate an insane amount of zombies on target, its got 3 dragons in it now not 2 i haven't updated my sig yet.

You've been mentioning that bomb allot, how do you re-kill all hundredsomething bodies after a fight anyway? I never manage to generate towers so I dont know how the mechanics work.

i made a kill zombie companions macro that involves me stabbing them in the chest, think it was "A alt+y a b" and i just spam repeat that till everything is dead again and then go around slowly picking it all back up, it don't work too well with the dragons tho, they really are like tanks.

300 human/elf/dwarf/goblin/kobold bodies 20 random animal/fish/bird bodies and 3 dragon bodies all in one backpack. fun stuff.

I like to rip off people's tongues as a symbol. I was once told in school that the Assyrians(At least, I think it was them. :-\), would chop off a guy's tongue as punishment if they ever lied. I carry on the tradition for all the times they have ever lied in life.

[EDIT:] Whoops, almost forgot. I also like to take whatever eggs the monster may have laid, then sell them at the market. Hurray for the slave trade!  :)

My weapon of choice is a golden chest. It's heavy on its own, but I load it with the corpse of everything that I kill with it to make it do surreal amounts of damage. It currently has a dead dragon, a few titans, and a ton of dingos in it, and it hits like a goddamned bus.

hmm strange the chest shouldnt have taken a whole dragon, i'm pretty sure the items inside have a weight limit, my backpack is heavy enough that it drops my speed from 1500 to 99 :P and i'm not 100% sure but i don't think you can actually move slower then 99 as it was 99 before i added that last dragon.

I collect crossbow bolts. Silver, bronze, steel, all kinds. Last time, I collected three until a third came through my brain and ended my adventures prematurely.

The entire content consists of senseless murder, a pile of faceless naked women and zero regard for human life in general, all in the service of the protagonist's base impulses. It is clearly a cry for help from a neglected, self absorbed and disempowered juvenile badly in need of affectionate guidance. What a sad, sad display.
