So, I was grinding copper axes to level my weaponsmith, and accidentally melted down one of his masterworks. The resulting unhappy thought (his only one) was apparently enough to completely negate the positive thoughts from his spouse, child, legendary meals, fine drinks, bedroom like a personal palace, satisfying work, yelling at someone in charge, starting a fist fight, enjoying a tastefully arranged and sublimely fabutastic statue, admiring his cabinet, and breaking a +marble throne+. He has no active labors, a bedroom I was reserving for the baron when he arrives, and nothing to do all day except diddle around in the dining hall or statue garden admiring shiny crap. Checking Dwarf Therapist, he's still at '0' happiness, and now he's stuck in the dining hall with the 'sleep' task active, but not moving. I'd rather not have him go insane (especially right in the middle of the damn dining hall), as I've invested quite a bit of time and resources into getting this derp up to a high level. If he does, I'm not worried about a tantrum spiral or anything, as EVERYONE else is ecstatic.

Is there anything else I can do for Urist McCrybaby, aside from walling him off before he beserks?

I've seen dwarves get happy thoughts from admiring doors in statue gardens, so I'd assume they do count. It's basically a wall, right?

So, one of my soldiers has been elected mayor. He has his office and what not, and seems happy enough (ecstatic), but is this going to conflict with him being able to fight? I don't really care if it creates problems with him being a parasitic noble, but losing a soldier after years of training would be quite a bummer.

If he can't fill both rolls, is there any way to prematurely end his term as mayor, short of an unfortunate accident?

Thanks.

Nope.avi

I don't understand?  Is this a tool which helps game bugs with ghosts?

It's a TF2 reference, and just means 'nope'. If you're curious, look up 'Nope.avi' on youtube.
