Summary0009258: People in the tavern wander in perfect sync
DescriptionI've noticed that idlers in my tavern will wander around in perfect synchronization. They'll pause, and then almost all of them will move to somewhere else in the tavern, like someone's yelling "Change places!" occasionally. I suspect this has to do with the new group tasks like listening to performances and group dances. They're awesome to have happen, but the solo idle needs to have them wander at slightly more random intervals.

This is actually because, in a tavern, one person recites/sings/plays their respective poem/song/instrument at a time. During the performance, everyone in that room in the tavern stops to listen - at least, if they plan on being in the tavern. When it is over, people begin to wander again until someone else decides to perform. This is what causes your "musical chairs" pattern of switching positions.
