you want ANOTHER one?
« on: January 12, 2011, 11:11:54 pm »

I had a mayor elected recently that likes steel. First thing he did was ban the export of steel goods. OK, no big deal. Then he wanted a steel door in his dining room. Done. Now he's asking for another steel door in his dining room. Umm...

If it matters any, his bedroom, dining room, and meeting room are all overlapping.

just out of curiosity, is this a demand?  It has been noted in the chat that those requests are actually bugs.

It is a demand. It's not like he can enforce punishment or anything, but is it safe to just ignore this?

Demands don't cause any punishments, just an unhappy thought for the noble.

Also, demands don't disappear when the demanded item is put into the appropriate chamber. They remain for a year or two, giving an unhappy thought for the noble if the demand isn't met and a happy thought if it is met. Eventually, the noble will "forget" the demand and thoughts will stop coming from it, for good or ill.

I don't know if I've ever seen a noble demand the same thing in the same place twice. I would have guessed that the thing placed in there the first time would satisfy the second demand, but I could easily be wrong about that.

Yes. No justice will be demanded here, just the item. Once the demand is forgotten, that's the end of things. Nothing further will be caused, including unhappy thoughts or injuries from justice.

for this kind of demand, would the door have to be set to internal?

While adding magma to anything will make it dwarfy, adding the word "magma" to your post does not necessarily make it funny.
