I FINALLY got the GC- but now I'm afraid to touch him- since they tend to dissapear. Will he do what he's supposed to do without any dragging help from me?

I've played many, many games and never had anyone disappear, but you don't need to 'bother' the GC in order to complete the next puzzle. Arthur is still working on the vanishing villagers bug.

That's good to know since I don't want to take the chance- I had two villagers dissapear myself earlier today!!

Wait a sec, when you have a villager clean the beach after a storm, I believe that s/he gains construction skills, right?

Also, I currently have two master builders left (67 & 75) and only the 12th puzzle left. So, since I don't have a lot of time left to find the last one, I want to make it count; though I don't want anyone to just hand over the solution. That being said, do I have to do something with my masters or do they have to do something themselves?
Thanks,

It's all up to you (thus the easter egg designation). Once you're onto it, your villager(s) will take over.

Yes villagers learn gain construction skills from the debris

Your masters need to go exploring....and it works better if you just watch them explore, rather than lead them around

If you have followed the threads on backing up a game, I would almost suggest you do so, so you don't kick yourself if your builders die unexpectedly

As vague as that is, that does give me a couple of ideas.

Also, is it really suppose to be a builder? Because now that I think about it, I've never actually had a master parent. Are they good for anything?

Oh, and thanks for the reminder. I had almost forgotten; I will definately save now.

Thanks for the speedy repies,

Masters in all areas aren't as easy to come by

Well, that didn't help. Now I'm even MORE unsure.

Okay, I think that I am just going to pause it until I have a sizable list of possibilities->try them->start again.
Thanks for not spoiling it for me at least.
