I just counted mine up. I've got 38 guests. That seems like a lot. I'm making a lot more drinks than I used to. I've also noticed that nobody ever seems to sing or dance anymore, so I'm wondering why I'm giving away all my hooch to a bunch of free-loading-good-for-nothing human bards. At least the poets occasionally do a recitation. Turning off the tavern to visitors doesn't seem to send them all packing very quickly.

I've still got 0 guests, despite having a fairly nice tavern (I think). Maybe visitors don't want to pass too close to the gobbo settlement in the way? The sieges may also block access and reputation. It's also possible the fact that the second trade liaison was killed by a titan (which allowed the caravan time to leave unmolested. He had a thick skull...) has blocked the reputation from spreading

It seems both food and drink are consumed at a brisker pace than before, so all of the higher consumption is probably not due to visitors.

Sheesh, I'm up to 61 now and nobody is doing anything except for the two reading my books. I even got the announcement that a travelling troupe had come, but they don't seem to be doing anything differently than the rest. I'm not even sure who they are to be honest.

Pathing and proximity to friendly populations seems to have a much greater impact than the quality of your tavern. Set up an awful mud hole of a tavern right next to a human town and you'll be flooded with visitors.

This seems to be the major factor. Since word of The Warm Anvil spread, I've been overrun with artsy hipster-humans from the nearby town who are too cool to drink in human taverns. Only two scholars have come, which I assume has to do with being far from any other library.

At 63, I closed my tavern and temples to visitors. All of my guests went an packed into the library so I turned that off too. Now they're all camping out around my well. It's so tempting to figure out how to get some magma over there, or maybe just unleash an Ettin in the middle of the crowd. Go home! Drink your own crappy beer!

You do know there is a d_init cap for visitors now, right?

94 guests, and I only now noticed that there's people like a human cook, a goblin fishery worker and a few other "civilians" visiting the tavern besides the hundreds of mercs, bards and other performers that have visited during the years.

I wonder if those people would apply for residence, would they agree to do some work that the mercs and performers can't be ordered to.

Toady mentioned fixing a bug where no-one would play instruments. Perhaps with the music next release, we'll get dancers as well? I'm hoping so; I accepted a performance troupe for long-term residency, hoping to see some dances.  So far, nothing but poetry recitations.

My forts have had 7 guest tops.

Wells are a problem solver all of their own. Build a wall around it, then engineer some flooding from it.
