Noble wants "item in room" - Bug 491 or always
« on: April 28, 2008, 03:08:00 pm »

Right now I have a mayor who is demanding a "item in office" and a dungeon master that is demanding an "item in tomb", but it literally says "item in throne room/office" and "item in tomb", leaving me to guess what it is.

I'm guessing this is bug 491 and I've just been unlucky enough to get hit with it two times in a row, but do nobles normally actually request a real item (i.e. "Platinum Statue in tomb") or is it always just "guess what I'm thinking"?  The df-wiki leads me to believe it's normally the former, but two times in a row on my first two demands makes me go hrmmm.

Bug 491: http://www.bay12games.com/dwarves/dev_bugs.html#Bug491

A previous bug report on it: http://www.bay12games.com/cgi-local/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic&f=6&t=001631

Thanks!

Fairly certain it's the bug.  But for me at least it is a common bug.  I get it almost as often as I get legit ones.

I just write it off as corrupt nobility.

at least they request something you can give them, even if it is the content of the garbage pit.

item = magma, water or random caged invader (uncaged of course)
