Apparently if you deconstruct your Depot while traders are in it your Dwarves will just pick up the stuff lying around willy nilly and store it in your own stock piles.

I was in the middle of trading and my Depot got really covered in gore so I figured I'd just rebuild it elsewhere.  But I didn't get my new post up before the old one was torn down, so the traders just stood around while my dwarfs calmly picked up their stuff.

Ooops.

[Jackrabbit]

Yes, it's a known bug.

I just discovered this last night on my fort that has only 14 dorfs after the first 2 free migration waves.

Not only did I take all their stuff (and mine), I injured the liason in an accidental cave-in.

Whoops?

[Victuz]

You are NOT doing that on purpose RIGHT? :>

Perhaps it was only an unfortunate accident.

Speaking of traders, is there any way to make them flee AND become trappable. I don't know how I caught the elf merchants before, but I can't seem to replicate it.

[DoctorFunSocks]

Unfortunately (for me), I have a feeling that despite my lax immigration policy, I will not be getting many more migrants in the near future.

Current plan is to carve a masterpiece wooden bed, put it in a nice big room with lots of restraints pretty things, and force them to love hope for the best.

Yeah, it's a bug that's been around forever.  I try to avoid using it, since it is so tempting with the first trade caravan.

Another bug is if you switch Expedition leader while a trade liason is somewhere on the map - the trade liason immediately leaves "very unhappy" without talking to anyone.

Hopefully this is never used against the elves, with their fragile personas...

Oh, THAT'S why the guy kept leaving on me.  Good to know.

And no, I didn't do this on purpose; I didn't even know about the bug.  I just sort of stumbled across it.
Now I have to deal with all the crap they were carrying.

When I figured this out... goodness.

Two liasons, one dwarf, one human, were constantly wandering around my fortress for nearly a year. I could not figure out why they were there, and how I would get rid of them (short of DAS).

Then one day a mayor is appointed. Three days later, he dies in an unfortunate accident (restrict my gold trade, will you?) A new mayor is appointed, and I get two simultaneous messages about the liasons leaving in a huff. I sit there stunned for a good 30 seconds.

Heh, GCS.

Anyways, yeah, I did this from time to time, but I can never piss off the elves enough to make them siege me so I can wipe out their civ (MILITARY ARC WITH ATTACKING OTHER CIVS PLEASE).

The liaison thing will help greatly.
