I am also new, though I asked some questions first and now getting around to introducing myself.
I am new to computer gaming and do not come from the computer generation. I found Virtual Villagers after some time searching for a game that does not call for shooting aliens with a ray gun, because I am terrible at doing that. I am so happy with my new game! I wake up early every morning so I can have to time to check on my little folks. Each new one that comes I have to find a name that fits just right.
I am also glad that this forum is friendly and welcoming. I see that I am years late finding VV but people are still talking about it.
I have done a couple of rounds with VV, right now playing three games at once to keep myself busy and see more things happen. Pretty quick plan to VV2 and read what everybody says about #3.
Oh, and my daughter just announced that I will be a grandma in Oct. (my first)
