In the new "Armies" section of the official WAR site, they mention a "Book of Grudges".
I was thinking that could be a cool and fairly simple thing for them to put into the Dwarf user interface: an automatic Book of Grudges.
You can put people in your book in several ways:
1) Target them and do a command (like "/grudge Owes me money"). This command can be done on friends or enemies.
2) Toggleable / automatic: An enemy kills your groupmate (grudge note: "Killed [ally name] in battle of [location], [date].")
3) Toggleable / automatic: An enemy kills YOU. (grudge note: "Defeated me in battle of [location], [date], [random excuse, e.g., probably cheated, sun was in my eyes, etc].")
Grudges of this nature do not have any real game impact (or do they? dwarven racial bonus? extra damage to people you have a type 2 or 3 grudge against?).
Rather, they show up in the UI next time you see this person. Perhaps they have an asterisk beside their name and a mouseover reveals the grudge note.
Type 2 and 3 grudges will be automatically deducted once you kill the target. You may have multiple grudges against one target, so it won't be cleared until the count reaches 0. They killed 10 of your buddies, so you have to kill them 10 times to get even.
There could additionally be records like:
Worst enemy -- whoever you have the most grudges against, currently
Nemesis -- whowever you've had the most total grudges against, counting ones you've fulfilled
These two could have their names show up in a different color or something, whenever you come across them.
