Obviously the noble likes the item/material, so he wants a lot them to be made and not exported. Nobles always forbid the export of items they like.

I think it was the bed in dining room thing.  That's pretty funny.

Demands? Bed in dining room. His dining room overlapped his bedroom, so he noticed it and I did nothing.

Mandates?
Export of shields prohibited. In summer. After I was planning to shift the wooden shields the elves left behind when they mysteriously all drowned. He got magmaed and I sold them.

Construct three adamantine items. On a flat plain. Just after he arrived. Fuck that for a laugh, boss. Here, pull this. What do you mean, it's locked? I'm sorry, what? You're thirsty? Hungry? Pissed off? Demanding the hammerer do something? I think he's right next to you, boss.
Hey, we'd better bury those bodies in there.

I once had a mayor who would demand flutes. Cue mass stonecrafting. Annoying, but he stayed because he wasn't TOO bad, and was a triple-legendary.

Elves do it in trees. Humans do it in wooden structures. Dwarves? Dwarves do it underground. With magma.

There is a way to choose your mayor.  One with desirableeasily fulfilled no-hassle demands and mandates.

I believe its based on social skills. Just takes a little work... and it stays that way if you make sure everyone else stays working and/or you make BIG meeting places. (Less chance of them talking, making friends and usurping the true throne of power...  The Mayor...)

Once I had my Mayor order 3 aluminum tables built while my Baron ordered 3 aluminum statues. There were only 3 bars of aluminum.

The magma won.

The strangest demand I've had was from a DungeonMaster who wanted a bed in his tomb. 

I'm not sure I want to know why.

Maybe he and his wife are a freaky couple, and his wife's a necrophiliac.

Apparently death would not part them.

Anyone else have a request for windows?  My mayor asked for 2, I built them and he didn't/couldn't notice - just kept mandating 2 windows.

I got three words for you: restraint in bedroom.

I think he misunderstood the phrase "final resting place" and wanted his rest to be comfortable.

Yes, actually, I am trying to get myself banned.  I wish Toady would quit working on this worthless piece of junk and go back to teaching math.

At last the secret of the pyramids is revealed!  They are just very good sound-proofing so the pharaoh doesn't wake from his nap.

I think the weirdest demand I have ever gotten was for an armor stand in a tomb.  My current fort has been able to avoid hammerings because the adamantine item wanting duchess-consort is appeased by my making adamantine wafers while the bismuth bronze wanting tax-collector was appeased by me melting a tin cage and mixing it with a bar of bismuth I got from the dwarves and 2 bars of copper I got in like manner.  I'm now waiting for a new hammerer after the orcs killed my last one.

Only vaguely. Made of the same substance and put to the same use, but a bit like comparing a castle and a doublewide trailer.

It is.  I've taken to picking my mayor carefully, in the hopes of not getting mysterious "item in location" demands, and avoiding requests for expensive gems.

It seems to be working so far, but it's early days yet.

Urist Austin, Axedwarf.  A dwarf barely alive.  Gentledwarves, we can rebuild him. We have the technology. We have the capability to build the world's first bionic dwarf. Urist Austin will be that dwarf. Better than he was before. Better, stronger, faster.

They want glass windows, gem windows don't count.

The dwarven economy is just a stand-in, from what I understand. As it is, it represents an actual economic system about as well as poison ivy represents a salad.
