Argh. Think I'll be sticking with 40d a while longer, then :D
This is relatively minior bug. Critical bugs are already fixed, however I still wait for some fixes important for me (.31.12 of course):
  • Doctors seems to work once a year or something similiar. I had dorfs requiring diagnosis in hospital for many months without effects. Yes, hospital stocks are properly filled and doctors had all other labors disabled and mulled whole time with "No job".  When AT LAST McLazyDoctor diagnosed dorf, then patient waited months for cleaning and suturing. Result? Succumbing to infection. >:( Only giving water works properly.
  • Speaking of hospitals, there ale many freeloadres on hospital beds. In fact, no one sleep in his own bed.
  • Cannot follow order, oh god Armok, cannot follow order. Especially marksdwarves. They seem to shoot few times in archery and mull rest of time with this job description. Yes, I had setup ammunition on military screen (by the way, dorfs love to shoot combat ammunition in training) with properly assigned ammo. Yes, I have barracks, chests, archery range and beds assigned to this squad and marked Z, T, I and Q where applicable.

And Toady? He take his time with some new adventure stuff. Great.

Making bone artifacts is bugged. All decorations vanish.

Argh. Think I'll be sticking with 40d a while longer, then :D

Considering all the new awesome features, that's the bug that prevents you from playing 2010?

Most Gaudy
A turtle shell crown with images of clouds in microcline and an image of a crown in ruby.

I wonder what mushrooms Urist got into when he made that.

Most Upsetting
I had a string of metal workers making legendary steel tables. I gave one to the king, one to the queen, and put the other at the center of the great communal dining hall. I instituted a policy of death penalties for any more tables. Two dwarfs were executed under this law. 5 tables, no weapons or armor.

I understand your frustration on the last bit.  I write, thouh, and have found that if one bit is particularly annoying or I am out of ideas, I work on something else. H might be doing the same with DF.

Or he might be doing it to annoy us, afterall :)

In my fort, I have, in order...

A steel left gauntlet via fey.
A silver left gauntlet via possession.  (Couldn't you at least have made a freakin' right one?!)
A stranger bone scepter that created a legendary bone carver.
A star sapphire cabinet/legendary gem setter!  :]
An aventurine ring...  at least I got a gem cutter to go with the other guy...
A magnetite amulet, via possession  >:[ and a platinum splint, via possession >>:[ and a
Magnetite coffer, which will make the dwarf I've designated to become baron very happy (he has very cheap/common tastes), if he lives long enough to be promoted.

Uthirnikot:  "THE SEARING ACTION"!
a copper goblet.
This is a copper goblet.  All craftsdwarfship is of the highest quality.  It is encrusted with levin opal and studded with copper.
This was my most underwhelming artifact yet.  And such a profoundly awesome name, too.

A wooden barrel with an image of a barrel on it.

It was existentialist and bleak.

A dwarven pig bone door.

It may be an artifact door, but it's an artifact BONE door, which means it was affected by the no-decorations bug on bone artifacts. The 1-year-old that made it dragged a half dozen gems, an iron bar, a stone block, a roll of cloth, and one of the logs down to the shop alongside the 3 stacks of bones (30 bones in all) he used, all of them gone! It's only worth 1200 DB! it's the least valuable artifact in the fort, my chefs can make dog tallow bisquits more valuable than it!
It's being a fey mood and him now being legendary is negated by the fact that I already had a child bone-carver, and she's already 8! You're 7 years behind and 100% less likely to survive until I get bored with this fort kid, you could have at least become something more useful than a second delayed-usefulness-until-adult-and-then-still-useless dorf.

When my level 19 legendary stonecrafter (One of my embarking dwarves who had been crafting for 8 years, my longest run yet!) got his strange mood I expected something special. This is what I got:

My personal latest total suck - armorer via posession, so not even a skill boost. i was still hoping for a mail shirt or suchlike, but got this...

Desorsub, "Entranceddrip", a copper shoe. This is a coper shoe. All craftsdwarfship is of the highest quality. This object menaces with spikes of violet spessarine. On the item is an image of Tobul the Copper Oil, the deity of jewels, depicted as a female dwarf in copper. Tobul the Copper Oil is contemplating.

Probably contemplating why urist McOneshoemaker immortalised her in a left shoe instead of a helmet.

I just got Royalwore, the bituminous coal mechanism. Encrusted with bituminous coal, encircled with bands of bituminous coal, and menacing with spikes of bituminous coal...

Worst part is, it was a possession. So no legendary mechanic for me.

No Legendary means no reason not to use the mechanism in a Fire-trap.

I lmfao at so many of these, unfortunately I am new to DF and when it stated, "Steve has withdrawn from society." I thought that meant he was leaveing my fortress. Unfortunately, I realized he never left after I got teh message, "Steve has gone beserk." and "Bob has been struck down." shortly after.

On-Topic I think it would be funny, although impossible, if there were a pair of gloves that had engraveings of each other on them.

EG: Glove A has an image of Glove B. Glove B has an image of Glove A.

If they were made in pairs I suppose it wouldn't be impossible but seeing as how they are made one at a time this is impossible at the moment.
