Hello! I killed myself! Prepare to die!
« on: March 03, 2012, 10:53:16 pm »

What is this?

So he killed himself at some point? How'd that happen?


Any ideas as to this?

Should I submit a bug report?

That certainly is an embarrassing memory.

*Actually possible

Maybe he killed somebody to steal their identity, but couldn't resist bragging about his kill.

I've recruited 2 of the same maceman once, it seems some areas duplicate people. Perhaps he walked away, came back and then fought and killed himself.

If he's a werecreature and a part of him is cut off, reanimated as a zombie, then comes the full moon and thus grows back into a full body, I suppose he'll have a copy of himself.

The only thing that happened in general was the death of 71% of the fort, and that wasn't really worth mentioning.

Unlikely, he's the only Akkar in worldgen.

Since vampires have false names, maybe they take the names of someone they killed?

That seems...... plausible.

There's a thread about a fortress being taken down by quite literally pages upon pages of the same cloned were-creature zombie.

Can you link to that thread. My search-fu has failed me.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

"No, I'm Zebu!"

I have no idea what is causing this but I think that werebeast shenanigans can be ruled out, being that this demon has killed himself on several occasions.

Side note: After killing him, I too named myself Zebu

Yes, this looks like a bug. Could someone upload a save with this behavior taking place to the DFFD, and attach it to the bug report?

Reproducing this behavior is always a problem, so it would be ideal to have a save game right at the point where a creature that does this is about to make their big announcement, or at least a save with the creature in question nearby, and a screenshot of the behavior.
