[Dehydration]

I got the dreaded fall migration in this Dwarf Fortress game, changing the situation from 7 dwarves with a lot of food and enough to keep them busy to 16 dwarves with not enough food and nothing to do. I still havn't solved the food issue, but it's now mid-winter and the only thing I could come up with for the new arrivals (mostly peasants) to do was engrave every exposed surface.

Now it's midwinter and I've just realized that the skillup messages that have puzzled me this whole time (<name> has become a Mason.) were puzzling me because they weren't engaged in masonry. Checking the skills of the appropriate dwarf reveals that they are not, in fact, Masons, but engravers. Their titles and the skillup messages both read Masons though -- is this intentional?

Yeah, the mason is sort of a general category.  There's a req/bloat on the dev pages to make more specific names.  Or we could do some hybrid titles for multiple skills maybe.  Informative and fun.

[Dehydration]

I think if you put hybrid titles in there are a fair number of people who would never stop playing just to see what all the titles were.

Do people stop playing as it stands already?
