The carpenter's a . . . what?
« on: October 04, 2006, 12:21:00 pm »

Just started a new game.  I scrolled over my proficient carpenter to change his labor skills and saw this:
Blahblah Blahbeedee, Carpenter
Blahblah Ringeater
kobold Elite Bowman (ruler).

Ummmm.  He acts normal, but it's a little creepy.

What view or list was this in exactly?  [vpl] doesn't list things like blah blah, carpenter -- was this in the nit screen?  It doesn't list like that in the pre-embark screen either.  I'm confused about where this is.

What version was the world created in, if you know?  This seems something like the old error where it scrambled who was linked to which historical figure, as it appears your carpenter is linked to the kobold ruler.  Or perhaps it's a new manifestation of that error.

It was the newest (Oct 2nd?) release.  I've generated a bunch of worlds since then, and gotten 200ish immigrants over those, with no repeat, so at least it's not too reoccuring.

Hrm, I'll need this to happen some more before I can figure it out.  Right now it means that a variable is holding the wrong value, but there's no way to pin it down yet.
