OK, this was an unusual series of events. First off, I had a mayor who got wounded. OK, so he retreats to his bed to heal. Immediately after that, a Boyer got upset about something. Don't know what, but he wanted to go yell at the Mayor about it. But the Mayor was "Resting" so he just sat there at the bedside, waiting.

Seasons passed. The Boyer would leave to eat and drink, or to sleep in his own bed, but he kept on waiting by the Mayor, desperate for his chance to complain.

Eventually, an election was held and a new Mayor appointed. The bedroom was reassigned to a new Mayor, and a new bed installed so the new one would have somewhere to sleep.

Still, the Boyer faithfully waited by the bed of the old Mayor, waiting to complain. He wasn't unhappy anymore. In fact, spending the last several years surrounded by Masterwork engravings and clear glass furnishings was making him positively giddy with joy.

The old Mayor never improved. He sat there with a broken leg for about 4 years before I finally abandoned the fortress to start up an new one. He was happy too, what with the nice surroundings and the fact that he was always fed and watered on time.

I wonder if the old Mayor and the Boyer got to be friends, with all that time together. I never checked.

I believe Toady One fixed that for the next release by adding an extra check for meetings.

I had a similar issue with diplomats sitting beside my wounded trader's bedside, waiting nearly half a year for the trader to recover from his broken leg.

Hopefully the new version will fix this.
