Since Buru is still small, he is unable to lift all the dead bodies to be buried properly so the village is really starting to smell.

Buru is now 9 and completely healthy.

Now, when he turns 14, would you ring the gong or is it too risky?

How about events with an option?
Do I open the sacks? etc.

So many decisions.

I would hold off on the gong until you have built up a good supply of food. Also, if you are trying to decide on an event, look it up in the VV2 Island Events List: http://www.ldwforums.com/ubbthreads/ubbthreads.php/ubb/showflat/Number/61262/page/1#Post61262

I would have said ring the bell. It usually grants my villagers, haven't had anything bad happen yet.

I would ring the gong. Mostly is good events

Whoa, did that tribe have 117 vilagers??? And what happened??? I'd get food, like Krystal said, then ring the gong. Game on half speed, once he's 14.

117 villagers was long ago but I'm confident I'll get back there. I'm not too worried about food. When I found it like this, Buru's health meter was completely empty and food was zero. Now at 9, it's completely full with 200 in the food bin. It's sort of self inflicted. I was getting bored so kept making it harder on myself to sustain. I went to the extreme of only allowing women between 45 and 49 to have children.

Up until I started this thread, I had never paused the game.
I was actually impressed with how much one child can do when I compared the download below to the one on the first post of this thread. Little Buru is trying so hard to pad my stats I'm determined to keep this going!

I have it on half speed while he's still 9. Are you saying I should wait until he's 14 to do that?

whoa, nice stats, may as well keep it on half!

Just a Q were u Williewonka b4??> And why did u mak a new account??? just curious?

Yes, I was/am WillieWonka.

I forgot my password and have so many email addresses I couldn't figure out how to have it sent to me. I requested help numerous times over a 2 week period and got none so I just opened a new acct. I've since figured out which email addy I used so I can access that id now but have chose to just use this one.
