Mayor never goes into No Job
« on: November 17, 2007, 10:43:00 am »
http://www.bay12games.com/cgi-local/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic&f=6&t=001801  is sort of related.
My Mayor never goes into No Job, but instead into Conduct Meeting. Since he still switches to any job available as if he had No Job, this might seem to be fine, but
1. when he has nothing to do, he just stands around instead of going to a meeting area or something
2. he can't conduct meetings. Presumably because you can't conduct two meetings at once, regardless of one of them being imaginary.

I believe this started happening after a liaison or other diplomat didn't leave properly.

My stray dogs often chase fire imps back into the magma pipe and then continue fighting while burning and drowning in the lava. Truly their loyalty knows no bounds, but perhaps it should.

Addendum: this human diplomat and his two swordsman guards have been in the fortress for like a year now and aren't showing any ill effects.

I'm having a similar problem - the Mayor never goes back to "no job", he goes to "Conduct Meeting" without any other attendees.  Its been going on about 2 years now - I'm starting to have happiness problems because dwarves cannot find someone to compalin to.  I've tried drafting/undrafting - he goes back to the endless meeting.  He will complete any task assigned, including trade brokering, but then returns to the meeting.

Curiously he keeps getting re-elected even though he meets with no one.

I think it's time to install, *ahem*, "plumbing" into his room as a work around  :D

This happened to me too, in [33g]. Merchants came, he "conducted meeting" but then ignored them, no trade negotiation screen popped up. I murdered the trade delegate  (whose bodyguards then left) but the mayor is still stuck in an endless "conduct meeting". I really dont want to murder him either, he's legendary in so many things  :(

The answer's I've heard are usually Kill the Mayor, Kill the Diplomat...  I already killed my Ex-mayor who hit that bug, and the Liason, (He was in my Fortress for like 3 years and no ill effects, I think they started the meeting then it was interrupted by a siege.)

Conduct meeting doesnt disrupt the mayor from any other job. It's like idling, but with a diplomat.

As you journey to the center of the world, feel free to read the death announcements of those dwarves that suffer your neglect.

One billion b-balls dribbling simultaneously throughout the galaxy. One trillion b-balls being slam dunked through a hoop throughout the cosmos. I can feel every single b-ball that has ever existed at my fingertips, I can feel their collective knowledge channeling through my veins. Every jumpshot, every rebound and three-pointer, every layup, dunk and free throw.
