Lurkily: whole heartedly agree!

NO way my friend, I never said anything of the sort. Here is what I did say:
I no nothin', but I'd appreciate a bunch more self-esteem, one can never have too much.
Yea, see how easy a feather turns into five blon.. oops, I mean, turns into five feathered CHICKS.

You're right - I remembered Tuna's statement on the subject, of an tribe with exhausted puzzles having something to do again; since what he was saying was so similar to what you were saying, I mixed the two up.

Nevertheless, you can't deny the point I'm trying to make. Puzzles and Awards run out, leaving you nothing to do but play Sim Villager in a game that isn't a simulation; unless you intend to do nothing but train villagers and watch them dance secret dances, you have to find and set your own goals to accomplish. Mine was sorting three tribes by hair color. CFII has a goal of making 52 children into JoATs by unpausing the game only to teach kids with the chief. Other people may set themselves other tasks.

You have a point that genetics can have a bad effect on children with poor self-esteem; but from this argument, I can also point out that a lack of minorities or disabled people makes this game harmful to the self-esteem of minorities. Which is an obviously absurd argument. The bottom line is that any harmless thing can look harmful from a certain point of view. We should be focusing on the things in this world which are obviously harmful - hate, prejudice, intolerance - before we dicker about things that are accidental, and may not even be causing harm, like whether it's legal to display the Ten Commandments in a courtroom.

I truly think this is really spiraling out of control! Can we not all agree to disagree?

That's happens.
I don't recall denying any of the above! No need to explain you actions to me, just GO for it. Sorry, I am a bit lost... None of which you write about rings any bells with me. TOO much input for my brain to compute! ENOUGH SAID on that SUBJECT.

I agree wholeheartedly! I do, I don't, I think I do, for sure I do!

I think the point that I'm making is twofold: First, challenging yourself with the genetics is not a control issue unless you make it a control issue. Second, there's nothing harmful to self-esteem about the genetics in VV2 and VV3. Your earlier posts seemed to imply that having these things in the game was not just something you didn't want to see, but something that was actually unhealthy.

I think your digging yourself into a very deep hole, or perhaps it's lack of sleep! sleep-sleep-sleep-sleep-sleep-sleep-sleep-sleep-sleep-sleep-sleep-sleep-sleep-sleep-sleep-sleep-sleep-sleep-sleep-sleep-sleep-sleep-sleep-sleep-sleep-sleep-sleep-sleep-sleep-sleep-sleep-sleep-sleep-sleep-sleep-sleep-sleep-sleep-sleep-sleep-sleep-sleep-sleep-sleep-sleep-sleep-sleep-sleep-SLEEPING.

Lurkily, I suggest you drop it. Once "Won't you please think of the children!" gets invoked over something this silly, it's time to just shake your head, roll your eyes, and walk away.

So let me set this right, you guys are argueing about how people play their games after they complete everything right? Or wrong? Or are you saying that how we handle the genetics of the villagers are?
cause if it's the second, well, I did had a brown/black heads tribe, so i decided to turn them into blonds. Luckily, a misfit was born blond and one of his many children were blond. And the guy's children helped me turn the tirbe multicolered.
In conclusion, I just guess it's fun to change the way your villagers run if you're done with the big stuff. right now, I'm trying to change their clothes and run on a schedule........
