Hi!

It's worth less than some statues I have.

You know, seeing that I felt that that particular dwarf was complaining about you not getting enough diamonds in your fortress. I mean, making a cheapo artifact with an image of diamonds on it is really a hint, isn't it?

Nothing was stopping him from using the (clear diamonds) or (blue diamonds) I imported...

Yes. Clearly a bug that ought to be fixed in the future, but exploit it in the meantime.

In that case, I think that dwarf really hated you. I mean, placing that image there and not actually using diamonds is really a nasty way to say "I could use diamonds, but I won't.". I wonder if that dwarf was in a grudge state against the player :) :) :)

Heh... I'd much rather he did an image of an alder in diamond.

Maybe he was just too lazy to walk over to the gem stockpile, and didn't think you'd know the difference.

Heh it would be funny if it was some kind of scam the dwarf was trying to pull.

"See here? I used DIAMONDS in this!"

"Uh, this is just a picture of a diamond..."

So yeah. Lamest artifact ever. He used one freaking piece of wood. Not even nethercap wood.

I think the dwarves of my current fort are going for some kind of record:
Worthless:
-A birchen splint: worth 3600 DB
-An alder bow: 7200 DB
-A mule leather leggings: 8760DB

Useless:
-A perfect tsavorite: 72000 DB
-A gold earring 82800 DB
-An aluminium cage: 405600 DB

Useless AND worthless:
-A perfect chrysolla: 4800 DB
-Two iron figurine: 14400 and 26400 DB

Weird:
-A grizzly bear leather tong: 401400 DB (The most expansive underwear EVER)

These are all artefacts the dwarves of "Girderpool" have produced so far. The only things that come close to being useful are the leather thong and the cage, although the dwarves refuse to use the cage in cage traps! I would use it for a zoo, but it is named "Sealtroubles", so it seems wrong to use it for anything else :)

That cage sounds awesome.  Build it as the centerpiece of a dining room for a very special noble.  Put a lever next to it that triggers some water-based Fun, such as dumping the entire room into an underground lake.  Your lucky noble will be ecstatic at having a royal dining room, and if when you get tired of him you can order him to pull the lever.  "If you're a seal, you'll have no troubles!"

All 3 of my strange moods thus far have resulted in the exact same thing.

3 Perfect Lace Agates. Most of them menacing with spikes of... Lace Agate.
Yeeeeahhhh.

One had a picture of a goblin being struck down, at least...

Actually, you can build this one in a room to raise the value.  Sounds like you're going to have a new dining room centerpiece.

Put it at the entryway. That way, he'll feel safe knowing that if some berserk dwarf wants to rip his head off, he'll be stuck in the cage.

Sealtroubles? If only it were a club/mace
