Damn hippies won't see my mayor.
« on: September 24, 2010, 03:05:33 pm »
My mayor, humble Monom of Dorenavuz, Carpenter. And also ignored by elves.

During the recent years of my fort, I keep getting the 'a diplomat left unhappy' message every time the elves leave. I don't get this problem with other diplomats/liasons.

So, I was wondering has this something to do with the profession of my mayor? As stated, he's a carpenter, and the elves aren't known for their love of wooden crafts.

And also, should I do something about it? Is this refusal of diplomats gonna lead to fun in the end?

Make sure your mayor doesn't have anything to do other than meet with the diplomat - Conduct Meeting is an extremely low priority task.

The problem is that mayors get re-elected in early Summer (though, unlike in 40d, without any announcement), and a re-election will cause all visiting Diplomats to immediately give up and leave.

It's amazing how dwarves can make a stack of bones completely waterproof and magmaproof.

It's amazing how they can make an entire floodgate out of the bones of 2 cats.

Rare occurrence, but worth mentioning: should your mayor be involved in the construction of an artifact, the diplomat will immediately leave unhappy.
