40d:Party
If you have a Meeting hall designated from a table (dining room), a cage ("zoo"), a well, or a statue (Sculpture garden), dwarves will often throw parties there and many of your precious productive workers will now display the status Attending Party. This has benefits, in that dwarves will get happy thoughts from admiring fine or finely placed statues, cages and the animals in the cages, as well as from making friends and talking to them. They will also marginally develop social skills (only to dabbling). However, parties may slow down your fortress' work as your dwarves idly hang-out, sometimes for more than a season.
Funnily, dwarfs usually cancel party attendance to get a drink or some food. Despite their numerous desperate attempts they obviously know next to nothing about how to roll in style.
Parties can be canceled by "free"ing the room where they take place via q f. Even if you immediately recreate the room the party goers will disperse. Canceling the meeting hall status is not enough.
