That's very funny. Sorry. Sympathies to you and Paka's family. It couldn't have been your fault -- Paka was destined to be chief. You only helped her find her destiny and she probably died happy knowing she got to be chief, no matter how briefly.

I usually start hunting for the new chief with the oldest and it turns out to be the youngest! You think the chief is always just the last one to try on the robe? Just kidding -- sometimes with a large population it's the one right in the middle.

You can't assume either that the sunbeam is always gone in a rainstorm. I've witnessed several times during heavy downpours, bright sunbeams shining on the sun dial. I originally thought it odd, but, apparently Isola has great rainbows -- probably with large pots of treasure at the end of them! Maybe it was that pot of gold that shocked Paka. What a way to go!
