My mayor just mandated the production of SLADE goods yeah slade which is wholly impossible. It doesn't make a difference since the one negative thought will definitely be canceled out by his far more then necessary rooms being fit for royalty. This a bug or did Today do it to fuck with us?

Should probably mention I'm still using .12.

Nope, not a bug. Your mayor just happens to have a preference for slade, and as such will make mandates involving it (whether that be creating slade items or banning export of slade items). Preferences will randomly pick from the multitude of stone types and doesn't take into consideration whether the stone is available on your map or if it can be dug out at all...this has always pissed off players who like to follow mandates - other item creation mandates which have tended to cause problems have been adamantine (for obvious reasons), crystal glass (if you didn't have raw rock crystals on your map in 40d then you were totally screwed. Now that you can import raw crystal glass, this is probably easier) and bismuth (the only bismuth item you can make is bismuth bars)

Mine just asked for two legged rhino lizard horn items. Then when I 'ignored' it, the Cpt of the Guard beat my Legendary Armorsmith to death.

At least you can mod slade to be usable.

[slothen]

you have a few options

1.  kill your mayor
2.  fire your captain of the guard, the mayor and the whole justice system can fuck itself
3.  install chains, mark them for justice, add a bed, and resign yourself to a dwarf being jailed for awhile.  Barring other circumstances, this won't be enough to make your punished dwarf tantrum.
4.  forget the chains, let your captain of the guard beat someone to death
5.  mod the game.

[gralcio]

Send your mayor where slade lies.

[cog disso]

How does he even know slade exists?

[Fanklok]

He likes slade, and there will be no beatings for I have no military my only defense is an atom smasher 9 cage traps and 90 serrated discs.

Note that when you found a fort, if you give a dwarf leadership skills, they will almost certainly end up being mayor, at least at first. Picking someone who likes, say, copper, instead of slade will make your life that much easier.

Then you can just ignore him. If you don't have a hammerer, no one will get beaten to death. In general though, this is about the time you would want to arrange an !!unfortunate accident!! for your Mayor...

I knew that big empty room adjoining my wells resevoir and magma path would be useful one day.

It's been several versions since I last played, but my favorite means of execution used to be the "guillotine".  Add [PET] to dwarves in the raws then butcher the offender (at a butcher's workshop, just like an animal).

The downside to this was you could no longer change a dwarf's labors unless you removed [PET] from them, but Dwarf Therapist can work around that problem.  You should really be using Dwarf Therapist (or some equivalent -- I've seen a few new utilities floating around, some of which may offer the same functionality, but haven't yet tried them) anyway, since it's awesome.

If you absolutely want to keep him alive, simply ignore him and stick him in a gold-clad bed/dining room and office, while pampering him with some good booze and grub. The happy thoughts from that should far outweigh any unhappy thoughts from not getting his whiny demands.

Oh, and fire your captain of the guard.

[Zanethda]

I had a mayor that got elected in who liked slade, so my embark skill choices weren't in play there. I got around this by temporarily swapping out a smelter reaction to output a slade stone. It counted towards the mandate, and afterward I just atom-smashed the stones. Simply appointing a new mayor won't fix it, the old one's mandate stays in effect.

I have a hard time killing my dwarves for any reason or letting them die, so, yeah.

[Fanklok]

He has an Opulent Throne room, Royal Bedroom, and Grand Master Dining Hall. A hoard of demons lead by Rapefist the Mighty could walk in kill everyone but him and he wouldn't give a damn.

PROTIP:  Always give your civ 10+ placeholder reactions that require an impossible reagent (so they don't clutter up your workshop) for this very purpose.
