Summary0009723: Trapped book keeper spams failure to reach office, thus refusing to assist in resolving the situation
DescriptionI recently had a dorf assigned as a book keeper who trapped himself by building a wall from the wrong side. While waiting for some other dorf to build the (already scheduled) stair that would let the bugger down he decided he wanted to update the records, and kept spamming failures at a very high rate (something like *180 on the announcements screen). I then ordered the wall he'd built to be removed, but he just kept spamming. I eventually gave up and removed him from office until he was rescued.
I've seen the same thing earlier when the book keeper was intentionally locked into a room (marriage assistance), and I removed him from office at that time as well.
Steps To ReproduceIsolate the book keeper from his office using any means (burrows works fine, physical separation also works). Wait until it's time to update the records. Enjoy the spam.
Additional InformationUsing the LNP r01 with the Phoebus tile set (avoiding 0.42.06 due to the masterworks trading bug). Doubled gremlin size to allow them to wear kobold clothing, "restored" ambusher tag to goblins (recently revealed never to have been there).
TagsNo tags attached.
