liaison meeting going on for several month
« on: March 23, 2012, 03:47:00 pm »
so last fall my liaison arrived for the second time, found my major and started a meeting with him. They have been meeting for several month now, it is now summer. I haven't gotten the popup asking me what I would like the traders to bring yet. Is this something gone wrong / bug or is it normal they have so much to discuss?
My mayor happens to be a vampire so he doesn't get hungry or anything but I had to reopen the wall that he was enclosed in so now I'm worried he will just run off for a snack
on a similar note my manager takes 1-2 month to approve a single work order, he is also a vampire, still walled in and constantly working on managing the work orders, his manager skill is talented but his social skills are lousy so that seems way too slow

Vampires never get thirsty.  Because of this, they never drink booze.  Because they are dwarves and are still alcohol dependent, not drinking booze causes the rate at which they do any work to slow to a crawl.  Therefore, any vampire will become nearly useless for doing any kind of time-critical work after a few years.

Vampire manager is fine. Mayor, not so much.

What's wrong with a vampire mayor? Afraid he'll start sparkling and...doing other Twilight-vampirey stuff that I'm going to look at TV Tropes to see if anything is there? Erm, back on point, what do mayors DO that sobriety is so terrible for?

EDIT: Twilight vampires are made out of diamonds?!?! Wow, that is really weird.

[GreatWyrmGold] gets a little crown. May it forever be his mark of Cain; let no one argue pointless subjects with him lest they receive the same.

A vampire manager will take months before processing job orders.  A vampire mayor will take forever to get around to doing meetings.  Vampire bookkeepers seem to be acceptable however, since that's not such a time-critical job.
