Looking at the raws, platinum seems to have stats (impact yield and so forth) somewhere between copper and bronze.

Urist McMayor has forbidden the export of mugs!
Urist McHauler has violated a mandate!
Urist McHauler was pleased to have punishment postponed lately.

A masterpiece? Either way, you stick the original up for auction and I'm sure one of your numerous worshippers from the forums will pay an inordinate amount of money for it.

Girlinhat doesn't have worshippers, per se, but does make good posts/threads and is a valuable member of the !!SCIENTIFIC!! community.

Anyways, pretty sure DF greaves are just plate trousers, and that they do bend.

Also, platinum greaves with diamonds and GCS silk may not be the best armor ever, but it's pretty damn cool.

[Girlinhat]

Debatably the most expensive pants ever.

[FearfulJesuit]

How much were they worth?

How much were they worth?

Place your bets people !

I'm going to bet... 750 000 dwarfbucks at least.

Excuse you? I would never fight the enhatted one. She and I have no quarrel with one-another, I was merely poking fun of the sycophants who occasionally gravitate towards her, as people tend to with interesting and charismatic individuals.

We are both civilized enough to know that and remain on positive terms. Indeed the very notion that I would insult or fight another woman, when there are plenty of more deserving people around, is completely ludicrous.
But I would totally kick her ass if I did.

~200,000☼

Also: I don't fight fair.

[KodKod]

Also: I don't fight fair.

I wouldn't have expected any less from you, you're too intelligent for outdated notions like 'fair'.

Also, 417,000☼ is my bet.

Yet another derail brought to you by Dwarf flakes

Hmm... There was, quite a logn time ago, some research done on the effectiveness of materials in preventing damage from falls. An interesting discovery was that slade would almost completely negate the damage from falls due to it's density. Is it possible that these fancy pants could offer solid protection from broken legs and hips after falling short distances?

[Loud Whispers]

I don't recall Chell wearing platinum pants...

[Eric Blank]

No, she had platinum leg braces with springy things. And managed to land on her feet. Unfortunately dorfs can't make do with just springy shoes.

Here's the image. Sorry for taking a while.

I recall an interesting story about spanish cannons being made with platinum ore.

Iirc, the resulting alloy could withstand far greater bore pressures without fatigue than normal iron/steel/brass cannon.

When it was discovered that they were alloyed with some 30% platinum, they were yanked from the mesoamerican fortress they were installed in, melted, ad reprocessed to recover the platinum.

This is only a story I heard though. I habe no reliable sources.
