40d:Party
Attending Parties
If you have a Meeting hall designated from a table (a dining room), a cage (zoo), a well (Meeting hall), 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, etc. but it will slow down your fortress' work as they idly hang-out, sometimes for more than a season.
Dwarves attending a party will sometimes make friends with each other. As yet there is no way of viewing these friendships, but dwarves get happy thoughts from making a new friend and talking to an existing friend. An unhappy thought is produced on the death of a friend, and a severe unhappy thougt is produced if the friend's corpse is not buried quickly and rots.
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.
