I could be wrong, but I don't think this has been done before. I made this list a while ago, and thought maybe others might be interested. Basically, this is a listing of what makes Thief FMs "FUN" for me, from the most fun (#1) to the least fun, but still fun nonetheless (#50). I'm posting it here so you all can comment on it, agree/disagree, or better yet, change the numbering and repost the list to show YOUR favorite things to do while playing Thief FMs. I came up with 50, but please feel free to add/subtract, just list your top 5/10/20, etc.
1. Triggering "Objective Complete".
2. Successfully BJ-ing AI.
3. Thoroughly analyzing an area, then using light/shadows in said area to your advantage to "sneak" through unnoticed.
4. Extinguishing a light with a water arrow.
5. Shooting and using a rope arrow in a way that is absolutely taffing perfect.
6. Reading an informative, well made map.
7. Finding loot, especially in an obscure location (under a table, behind a barrell, on a top shelf, etc.)... CHING!
8. Successfully picking a lock (especially in cases of possible discovery)
9. Using AI ignorance to your advantage (ie - making a noise causing AI to investigate, and when they are close enough, leaning forward and BJing them.)
10. Shooting and using holy water arrows in a way that is absolutely taffing perfect.
11. Using an invisibility potion, and timing the effect perfectly to wear off at the exact moment it should.
12. Shooting and using a moss arrow in a way that is absolutely taffing perfect.
13. Triggering "Found Secret".
14. Hearing a personal favorite AI comment (ie - "I'm gonna' count to three, so you better come out....one...")
15. A perfect broadhead shot (especially from a long distance).
16. Causing and/or watching AI fights.
17. "Solving" a puzzle.
18. Mantling successfully.
19. Hearing a new environmental sound appropriately applied.
20. Consuming food (crunch or munch, gulp).
21. Hearing a personal favorite Garrett comment (ie - "Here we go").
22. Climbing/jumping somewhere where the view is impressive.
23. Triggering "New objective".
24. Causing AI "stimulation" of any kind by frobbing and/or actions.
25. Choosing the correct lock pick on the first try.
26. Climbing/jumping somewhere where AI cannot go (nanny-nanny nyah nyah)
27. Reading a well-written, interesting and/or humorous book or scroll.
28. Exploding a zombie.
29. Using a speed potion to outrun AI (especially with one health shield remaining).
30. Using a slow-fall potion effectively.
31. Performing an act of violence on an unsuspecting AI without their knowledge.
32. Shooting and using a gas arrow in a way that is absolutely taffing perfect (ie - multiple AI downed)
33. Attaching to, and climbing UP ladders.
34. Using a flash bomb in a way that is absolutely taffing perfect.
35. Killing an AI in a fight (especially when taking little to no damage).
36. Hearing new voice acting done well.
37. Finding and using a health potion at an appropriate location and time.
38. Hearing new, fun music when frobbing a victrola (ie: "Blame It On The Bossa Nova")
39. Gracefully climbing/walking off of ladders.
40. Seeing visually appealing architecture.
41. Shooting and using a fire arrow in a way that is absolutely taffing perfect.
42. Attaching to, and climbing DOWN ladders. (because it is sometimes quite difficult)
43. Shooting and using a noise arrow in a way that is absolutely taffing perfect.
44. Using a flare when you actually do need to use a flare (VERY RARE)
45. Seeing visually appealing terrain.
46. Seeing new and attractive AI.

25. Choosing the correct lock pick on the first try.
You can't imagine the good feeling I get when that happens.
57. Falling a long distance and surviving (because of water, or mantling just on the good time, or getting a rope/ladder just in time.)
58. Getting a bonus objective.
59. Creeping on a noisy floor behind a guard's back, knowing he can turn around any moment.
60. Seeing a nice scripted event

By a painstaking method of deduction I think we can say that bassmanret enjoys Thief. :p
Anyhow, 68: I live for the light-switch *PING*

71. Sneaking right behind guards' backs, on marble/tiled floor, making absolutely no noise
