Summary0000778: Military mayor in eternal meeting with Liaison
DescriptionWhen my outpost hit 50 dwarfs, they elected one of the military dwarfs to be Mayor. When the outpost Liaison arrived they went to the barracks, where they have been sitting with him in the 'conduct meeting' job for several months now. Saving\loading, drafting\undrafting, and giving move orders\canceling them have all failed to unstick him. Possibly related to the bugs with training and incorrect display of military tasks.

its same problem with "just" an expedition leader, there should really be an easy way to unstuck dwarfs from training :/ and its even more annoying that they get the conduct meeting and nothign happens.

I've got this, and I believe it's the cause of 0000519 (no baron or any other nobles that require a baron) for me. I'm nearing the point of setting up a "meeting" between my mayor and a large arachnid constituent.

I had this problem, and was able to get the meeting to happen by removing the Mayor from the military altogether, then saving/reloading.

Still no Baron, however.

Does anyone have a save demonstrating this problem? If so, it would be helpful to upload it to http://dffd.wimbli.com/ [^]

Here's a save.

It's almost second spring and the expedition leader/axedwarf is still in "conduct meeting." I haven't gotten any of the trade agreement screens yet, and he wouldn't do any trading at the depot either (he's also me broker), but that's probably because he was stuck in conduct meeting and wouldn't do anything else.

Nope, not fixed; I just had this happen today in 0.31.10 as a matter of fact. The mayor was stuck in the meeting and the liaison ultimately left without success.

I tried all potential ways of freeing up the mayor but none of them succeeded. So, it appears this is still a problem as of the latest version. The only way to successfully meet with the liaison is when the military mayor is removed from office and replaced with a civilian one. My mayor and broker were separate, so trade was normal but I couldn't change material requests until the next year.

I wish I had a save from the time but I ended up not doing so because I figured it was already a reported issue. Unfortunately, it hasn't been resolved yet.

I got this in 0.31.12.

I manage to get one screen by changing the alert status of the expedition leader's squad to 'active'.

The sitation finally resolved when I removed the (T)raining for his squad in the barracks. Note that the squad still has an archery range to train in, but that doesn't screw anything up. The expedition leader doesn't have a ranged weapon though.

got this in 0.34.10 now, it says "conduct meeting" but it looks like invidual combat drill and ignoring the diplomat for months now (also engraver so if not doing "conduct meeting"-training is detailing floors)

An up-to-date save would be great.

Still in 40.23. My military mayor met with liaison in barracks and got stuck in "Conduct meeting" while that liaison is standing nearby. Save: http://dffd.wimbli.com/file.php?id=10379 [^]

Btw, I have also noted that other members of mayor's squad (who have been training in given barracks) have moved to some archery targets few tiles away when mayor and diplomat came nearby. It seemed like those two claimed those barracks for their meeting, though it may be just a coincidence.

Edit: Removing mayor from squad makes him and diplomat to beeline to mayor's office where normal meeting occurs. The rest of squad immediately moves back to given barracks, so those two have probably really claimed it for a while.
