Argh!!!!
« on: January 18, 2008, 04:49:00 pm »

I hate this! Everytime a dwarf goes into prison, he automatically wants to schedule a meeting with the mayor. But if the prison sentence is too long, he goes from "attend meeting" to "no job"

So whenever he gets released, he goes into idle mode forever no matter what you tell him to do.

To make matters worse, because of this invisible undone meeting, the Mayor will never schedule another meeting with anyone. Regardless of whether he's the merchant prince or another dwarf. Which then perpetuates the problem!

EDIT: Here is the save file:  http://www.humyo.com/F/71188037/EMBED

The one who started it all is 'Dervish', the legendary woodcrafter. If you observe her, she never does anything other than "Store personal item (or something like that)" and drinking, eating, or sleeping. She also just stands in the spot where she was standing last with the "no job" symbol. She spars when enlisted into the military but when unrecruited, goes back to the "no job" thing.

Another one doing this horrible cycle is a legendary miner who I labelled as a "lost cause" and is now a recruit because he was doing the exact same thing and there was nothing I could do.

Also notice the Human merchant prince attempting to meet with the mayor but not being able to because of this stupid bug. He's been there for months now.

The mayor can do everything except schedule meetings.

I tried killing all parties one by one, but it doesn't do anything.

HELP!!!!! If another dwarf wants to schedule a meeting, he'll go into the same "no job" cycle as well!

I've downloaded it and I'll take a look when I go through the accumulated saves.

Okay, I've sorted this one out, I think.  The mayor was trying to meet with three people at once, and that was confusing.  I think I've identified what caused it to happen in the first place, but we'll have to see.

Hmm, I wonder if this is what happened to my legendary carpenter after he was injured and unable to leave his bed for a long time.  It sounds awfully similar.

I had the same problem, right down to not meeting the liaison.
