Summary

0005787: Missing dwarves cause no negative thoughts

Description

If you kill a dwarf with a drawbridge out of sight of all other dwarves, the dwarf goes missing since there's no corpse. Once the dwarf is reported missing you can make a slab for him/her to prevent a ghost, yet no negative thoughts will occur in any of the dwarf's friends or relatives. This lets you wipe out undesirable dwarves without any repercussions.

Notes
(0022158) Footkerchief (manager) 2012-04-08 10:25	The issue this report centers around sounds like a suggestion, not a bug. What sounds buggy is that you can build slabs for dwarves that aren't confirmed dead.

(0022171) Khym Chanur (reporter) 2012-04-08 18:10	From the 0.34.07 release notes: "Slab to missing allowed, once missing status has been announced (unless from reclaim, then you can always do it)". This was to fix bug 0005130, "Magma-destroyed corpses are always 'missing,' can't carve slab to prevent ghosts". So being able to build slabs for dwarves who aren't confirmed dead isn't a bug, though it looks like it's the wrong way to fix bug 0005130. Probably a better way of fixing it would have been that slabbing of a corpseless dwarf is allowed once the ghost shows up.
