Anyone else has a tendency to do THIS?
« on: September 20, 2012, 02:00:53 pm »

By THIS, I mean...

Collecting enemy skulls/bones/whatever and carry them around as trophies? (or store in your stockpile)
I know it sounds pretty unpretty, but...

It can't be just me, right?

Teeth.  I toss them at people when sneaking.  And sometime whole corpses.

If I'm using certain mods, I like to make boots and capes out of any exotic creatures I encounter.

I keep them at my desk with jolly ranchers in them so people don't feel too awkward getting something from me or chatting about last night's televised sporting event.

I carry skulls. Then I throw them at people. If my target has some interesting piece of anatomy, I carry it also.

I work for a human fortress. I gather the corpses of my tasked kills up in the highest floor, the 'graveyard', sometimes I just put the skulls or heart or delicious Roc meat.

Quote from: Chesterton
For, in order that men should resist injustice, something more is necessary than that they should think injustice unpleasant. 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.

One of my most successful adventurers once spent what seemed like eons traversing an entire mountain range the hard way. Racked up over 260 giant eagle kills along the way, with a Giant eagle feather for each and every one.

I butcher each butcherable opponent I murder and eat their hearts. For the others I'll take a tooth, as the skulls are a bit weightier. If I could cut off ears (and wear them on a necklace) I'd be the happiest man around.

I have a totem stockpile tracking all the beasts I've slayed in my current fortress.

Stockpiling goblin bits and pieces outside my fortress walls was looking too papercut and neat, so I came up with a nice system of dumping them onto a bridge and then catapulting them out. For added effect, I put statues of dwarves in menacing poses or of dwarves striking down goblins with the goblin bits.

I'm still waiting for the ability to display goblin heads on pikes.
