I had another post on this, but with it being older, I wasn't sure if anyone would see the update. I'm not sure whether this is still normal, or if something is going on since this village didn't have this problem before.

I have totems in the upper part of the "sacred area for the dead", but none near the black vine. Okay... so

Update: Last night I found three villagers stuck by the black vine. Their actions read: Fishing; Telling a story; and Arguing! I was wondering who the third guy was arguing with... the guy "fishing"? --- there's an obvious argument since he wasn't fishing, but was actually stuck twitching back and forth at the vine; Or whether he was arguing with the guy telling the story!
Guess we'll never know, but it was a little humurous.

Then this morning, five of my little people were stuck in the same spot. Two were arguing, 1 telling a joke, 1 was teaching (obviously not teaching them how to get unstuck), and 1 was chatting.

I know they occassionally get stuck, but it seems to be common now, and there are so many of them that are getting stuck.

Is it possible the totems have something to do with it? Should I put a totem in that area with the hope they won't go to that area (although, as you all know they can walk right thru the totems), should I move the totems somewhere else or do I just accept this glitch in this particular village?

I've never had this to be this big of a problem (even in this current game). Before it was seldom, now it's frequent. I guess if I put it in perspective, it's really not that big of a deal, just inconvenient. But I just want to see if it's something I've done ie: positioning of totems, making too many healers, etc... I'm just wondering if there's a way to make it less frequent.

Thanks in advance for any advise.
