Hello Everyone

I come bearing news of Science I just completed. Recently after having several people show up and join as entertainers/mercenaries/other when suddenly the requests stopped. Several guests had arrived with the description of "seeking employment" but never actually 'Conducting Meeting'. (which resulted in one of the guests going into a rage at least once every other month).

I tried the following things-

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

• Waiting a year
• Turning off everyone's labors
• Removing all locations
• Making new locations
• Killing all the Elves (they deserved it)
• Killing all the humans (this fixed it, but there is more to the story)

After fixing the issue by killing all the humans I decided to investigate why that fixed it. After toying around for a bit I remembered that I recently became a Barony and after appointing my previous mayor as baron, I gave the job to someone else. After appointing the baron back to mayor role, one of the human mercenarys immediately switched to 'Conduct Meeting'.

I hope this information helps anyone else who might be getting stuck with a bunch of guests just sitting around Socializing all day and never actually applying to stay.

Useful info. So the conduct meeting seems to get tied to the individual holding the position at the time of the visitor entering the map rather than the position, stalling the queue?

[jwest23]

If that's reproducible, that would make for a solid bug report.  I don't imagine that's the intent.

[CaptainArchmage]

There's a visitor limit that may have something to do with it.

Edit: OK so the individual holding the position has to be restored to the position for this to work. I haven't had the issue as far as I know, but I will watch out for it.

So I been working on this for awhile and got about 10 Petitions done before they stopped again. I cycled mayors about 3 times before they started again. Very strange. but for anyone else who has visitors waiting to have a meeting, cycling mayors works for me.

[Haymaker]

Ooh, thanks.. That may explain why my visitors are not finding my mayor. I had the game running while I was out of shopping and during that trip Urists decided to let that one mildorf who is deadset either trainning or patrolling become our next mayor. Petitions stopped

First I thought it was because the Urist McImusttraineveryweaponskillknowntodwarf had better priorities than talk with filthy humans, but I believe this thread's science is more accurate than my hunch

So, time to go about giving few momentary mayorships to some dwarves, including few previous dorfs and see if petitions come.

..Because I have a legendary swordsman looking for long-term residency..

I tried burrowing my expedition leader/mayor to the tavern to stop him running away and that helped a bit.

Legendary,Yikes your lucky, I've never heard of that before, i don't think any of my mercenaries had particularly good weapon skills when i got them.
