How do you know who the grandmother is? Did your villagers bring a geneology tree with them to the Secret City? (LOL)

Congrats on only having to deal with the slowpoke for half her life! Sounds like she'll get JOAT in no time!

I do wish that non-runners would speed up to a walk when the time came for running; getting away from an unwanted suitor or seeking shelter from the rain, for instance.


Sounds like you've had a lot of runners! I think I've had only one in VV3 and have played quite a few different villages all the way through -- with 100 people each in a couple of villlages. What's your secret to getting runners???? And to getting that event? And the combination of event with a runner several times? Wow, I'm impressed! What am I doing wrong???

And, I've always thought that non-runners should at least walk normally! They dislike running, so what's with the walking so slowly?? Maybe they should be renamed for what they really are: Likes: Being a slowpoke!! Dislikes: Ever moving faster than a (slow) snail. (Personally, I dislike running too, but I walk faster than anyone I know!)

I do my own, but I sure do hope they include something to help with that in the next segment, like leave the parentage on the details page for life....lol

Thank you. She is over halfway there now thanks to 2 more kids, one an apprentist doctor(2yo) and the other an apprentist scientist(4yo). Wanted to see what they would inherit after her change. None of her 5 kids dislikes running, thankfully.

The 'dislikes running' villagers are especailly painful to watch as children. Have you ever used one to collect a mushroom. Forever comes to mind.
Wondering how many have made JOAT's of their slowtops? I was so thrilled to accomplish that feat with my first that I did it once more. But now the thrill is gone, sigh.
