I don't have any screens of this as it all happened so gradually that I didn't really notice what was going on until it was too late.
I had soldier who lost both feet early on. I kept seeing that he was cancelling eat orders due to injury but didn't think much of it, until all my dwarves were hunting vermin for food - turns out that he was claiming ALL the food but not eating it. By the time I managed to shut him in his room to starve (I don't have any execution chambers) the tantrum spiral had started. To make matters worse, and caravan showed up and all my dwarves ran outside to try to steal the food or something, and at that moment a siege showed up. Of course all the death made the tantrum spiral worse, and by the time all the goblins had been killed, tantruming dwarves punished, children who lost their parents died of insanity, and wounded dwarves who couldn't get cleaned died of infection I had lost over 50 dwarves.

The moral of story is to not let footless dwarves last that long!

That's funny!

BTW, did you set up a hospital to try to get him treated?

I think DFhack has a utility to clear the claimed status of items.

Still, if he wants to act like a noble it's more fun to treat him like one.

Awesome. I am in need of a like/+1/upboat button.

Also, bug report it?
