In my latest fort, I watched the tax collector and his guard walk into the mayor's office.  The mayor was a hoarder and had items all over the floor and in his coffers.

I've watched tax collectors seize items before, but this guy proceeded to walk, in turn, into the mayor's bedroom, office and dining room.  He absolutely cleaned the poor guy out.  Haulers arrived shortly and took the items to the stockpiles.

The peasants, not wanting to hear the mayor's complaints, elected someone else the following summer.
Wow.. That's epic

Huh. That sounds perfectly reasonable to my dwarven sensibilities... The mayor must have been an elf! Only a pansy elf would whine about losing everything they hold dear, after all. ::)
