Child attempting to murder people I think
« on: January 07, 2018, 09:02:36 pm »
Ok for about a whole season in game a dwarven child has been standing in the hallway trying to pick up equipment and I think it is the child who went insane a while ago and about 5 times a second it says he canceled pick up equipment and it makes the annoying cancel sound so I had to mute my game I don’t know what he is trying to pick up but I assumed it was a weapon and children aren’t allowed to pick it up that’s why it keeps canceling but I am unsure as I am very new to the game and don’t know how to fix this

If it's a child, it's not trying to pick up a weapon.
Maybe a toy?

Job cancellation messages related to civilian alerts (and maybe burrowed dwarfs) tends to spam like this. Is the child burrowed or is there a civilian alert?
 
There should be an exact message related to the job cancellation, you could post that.

And something to try... Go to the Stocks menu and forbid all the toys for a minute to see if he stops restarting that job.

There is something to be said about, if the stakes are as high, maybe reconsider your certitudes. One has to be aggressively allistic to feel entitled to be able to trust. But it won't happen to me, my bit doesn't count etc etc... Just saying, after my recent experiences I couldn't trust the public if I wanted to. People got their risk assessment neurons rotten and replaced with game theory. Folks walk around like fat turkeys taunting the world to slaughter them.
