Meeting dead liaisons
« on: February 16, 2008, 11:59:00 am »

I just updated to the newest release, carrying over save from previous version. I don't know if it might have something do with it. Anyway, I had a goblin ambush show up with the dwarven caravan and they killed the liaison from the Mountainhome. My clerk/broker had "Attend Meeting" active as his task and now he is stuck with it. He just stands outside with "Attend Meeting" and looks like he will starve because of it. There are no other dwarves with the job, I checked from job list and there is nobody else to meet.

I suppose the job does not clear properly if the liaison is killed on way to the meeting or something? A shame if I'll lose my excellent administrator this way.

edit - When the dwarf in question started getting to starvation level, he cancelled the job and went to eat and it did not activate again.

Do you have a save?  Attend meeting on one of your dwarves shouldn't be related to the liaison (that should be "conduct meeting").  Attend on one of your dwarves is for making complaints.

Sorry, I don't have save from the time of trouble as it solved itself later. Perhaps this is not then connected with the dead liaison but with the same dwarf being the expedition leader as well and trying to meet himself because he is unhappy? No idea, but I'm glad it didn't make him starve.

Is it supposed to be???

(The body is liaison).
Now they are killed by traps...
Check your traps... Are there "human bones"?

P.S. I didn't see the text in changelog about traders/diplomats/liaisons being killed by traps... Toady?

Fire the person calling the meeting.
He is obviously a necromancer.
