[40d] lost an annoying aquaintance
« on: October 17, 2008, 12:02:41 am »
i dont know if this has been noticed or not...    but for some reason, if a dwarf has a grudge against someone and that person dies, losing the annoying acquaintance counts as a NEGATIVE thought.

i found this out cause at the moment i have a fort where im doing a massive tower build and i have them set for no eat, no drink and no sleep so i can have them just toil away...     and this dwarf is unhappy and the only thing listed is 'lost an annoying acquaintance'

Dude, people dying, whether you liked them or not, is not really a good thing.

Maybe if the guy hated him more he would get happy thoughts?

But these are dwarves! Their grudges should be pretty darn hardcore, imo. :)
I agree with Drakis, this sounds like a bug. :)

Seems to me if someone a dwarf truly hates dies they would be pissed because that dwarf "escaped" from them, and if they only dislike them then they would probably be unhappy because because everyone needs someone to dislike and they just lost that person.

I've noticed it too, but maybe it should depend on which dwarf it is.

As in dwarf Urist was the one who said something he didn't mean to dwarf Kogan, meaning dwarf Kogan started the grudge. So if Urist dies Kogan is happy, and vice versa, as in dwarf Urist had always meant to apologize to Kogan.

I dunno, I was pretty bummed out when an annoying acquaintance of mine died.  You tend to see how petty it all was and be filled with regret.

It depends on their sympathy personality level.  There are 4 texts and 6 values.  They'll only have a positive thought if their sympathy is low enough to register a personality sentence talking about it being low.
