Just a general comment: A lot of the suggestions, including mini-games, status bars over villie heads, and villies asking to leave or join, sound too much like Escape from Paradise. Good game for what it is, but VV is SOOOO much better because you gradually develop a community of individuals (rather than just jump through hoops). There's a real story line, and you can play it over and over trying new things. I would hate to see those "personal" elements taken out. It's obvious that people are forming bonds with these little guys (I've never heard anyone suggest having a funeral for Super Mario or anything), so anything that breaks that connection should not be added to the game. Those are my two cents.
