Funny engravings/statues you've had
« on: May 07, 2011, 05:28:30 pm »

I was placing adamantine statues infront of my vault to raid in adv mode. Look at the elf's name:
"This is a well-crafted adamantine statue statue of Lafo Beastsweet.
The item is a well-designed image of Lafo Beastsweet the Elf and Rane Clodseed The Callus Of Fountains the Hydra. Rane Clodseed is striking down Lafo Beastsweet."

lol. The name is the funniest part.
And don't get me started on the hydra's name!  :P

My leader from embark -- who got all the noble jobs initially -- got Legendary Mason off a mood, and I found other dorfs to be manager and broker and whatnot.

He then spent the rest of the life of the fort making statues of himself looking dejected over his demotion. I decorated the tomb area of my fort in them, I thought it was an appropriate memento mori.

Pretty much every engraving of someone cowering at anything.

Like:
This is a statue of Deler Boatices and cave spiders in gold. Deler Boatices is surrounded by the cave spiders. Deler Boatices looks terrified. (I checked the smith's relationships, and Deler was not in there)

A masterful engraving of the chief medical dwarf in pretty purple spinel.
A masterful engraving of the chief medical dwarf eating cow cheese in pretty purple spinel.
On someone else's bedroom wall.
The engraver did not personally know the doctor.
The doctor did not personally know the engraver.
The poor schmuck who got the bedroom had no idea either of these even existed.
Look, I don't even know.

"The Ignoble Long Dung" is probably my favorite of all time.

Do you always look at it in ASCII?

You get used to it, I don't even see the ASCII.  All I see is blacksmith, miner, goblin.

An engraving of another dwarf being elected mayor.  I wish the engraver had a grudge towards them but that would have been too perfect.

"The Strange Mucus" - appointment of my chief medical dwarf

Many engravings of my bookkeeper surrounded by penguins

blah blah blah masterful image of Osta Esteemedscourge the goblin and Urist McMilitia Commander, Osta is making a plaintive gesture, Urist is laughing, mortal wounding with adamantine sword in Bellrings in late winter of 202 during Third Attempted Abduction. What I like is that it's called "The Amazing Fountains" (of gore??)
