Noble unelected themselves?
« on: July 14, 2013, 10:04:23 pm »
Allllrighty, I'm confused.  My baroness just basically unelected herself.  Now, she's melancholy and that's primarily because I didn't get her quarters setup in in a speedy manner, but still.  I wouldn't have expected her to un-elect herself.  I've even got a new mayor now.

I've never seen a noble do this before.  Any hints as to what's going on?

Nobles who go insane lose their title. I don't experience insanity very often, so can't say if this applies to all nobles and administrators, but it's definitely the case for the landed nobles.

And baronesses don't get elected, they're appointed. She was dis-appointed /shot/

Dwarfs that go insane are effectively removed from the forts population.  She gone.  To her happy place.

since there is no cure, she's effectively dead, so she was removed from the list, I'd guess

Aaaaaaah.... crap.  So much for becoming the mountainhome.  I've always wondered about the 'noble re-education levers' and the like when you can't get them reappointed, so I'd never done it.
