okay, here's what we'll ask the LWD people to do. Create a new "event" where at random a villager comes back from fishing and they've caught the "Loan Shark". this gives you the ability to give points and/or food to other games running on the same computer - or if we could get the game set up online then I could send you some food after one of those bad things happen to wipe out your supplies and your villagers are in danger of all starving to death!

a lot of people have suggested having the option of sending people to another island once the 16 puzzles are done - of course there is more to THIS island than we get to see - where DOES that path go anyway???

you know I've had as much fun on this forum as actually playing the darn game.

(please send me a PM about your family research - what software do you use etc - thanks).
