Short version with no mention of HIDDEN FUN STUFF at the end
So my mayor became possessed during a meeting with the human diplomat, and promptly set out to make his animal trap. The (human) diplomat, noticing that there was no one to meet with, left unhappy (this, I feel, should also be addressed, kinda a kick in the teeth, unless it is intentional).
But when the animal trap of justice was completed, the mayor promptly...did nothing. Well, nothing that a mayor should be doing anyway. Milkers wanted to complain about not having non-hauling jobs...the mayor just sat around jobless. People unhappy everywhere because no one would ever address their concerns.
Winter and spring came and went, and summer arrived...the humans showed up, and the merchant princess proceeded to follow the mayor wherever he went in the fort. The mayor never deemed it necessary to talk to her...sat jobless for an entire year until the human caravan showed up again (the dwarves do not send a diplomat ever since the queen deemed it appropriate to settle in my fort after we discovered adamantine...the story of the brave cat that struck down the chained up elf in the underworld can be told at another time perhaps), and I was finally sick of my dwarves being unable to complain, and the humans just bringing me whatever they felt like. So, being the good sport that I am, dropped the mayor down the chasm, since he had won his election that year (which really makes me question my dwarves judgement). I did this instead of starving him or any number of other things...because I wanted the artifact trap that caused all of this out of my fortress as well, lest another dwarf fall under it's siren spell...
And who gets elected? Why none other than my legendary macedwarf/shielduser/armoruser...which means that I, yet again, have a mayor who won't meet with anyone.
So these are my bugs, I could not find them mentioned in the bug list.
Short version:
Mayor bug 1: My mayor got a mood during a meeting and would never do the "conduct meeting" job again.
Mayor bug 2: Champions, who do not need to work, can be elected mayor, giving you a mayor who will not meet with anyone.
