I did a search with the omitted word to find out whether there are deleterious effects from having parents with a close degree of consanguinity. I still do not know whether such is programmed in as in real life, or if that is only an ethical issue. In earlier times, sibling intermarriage wasn't as taboo as today. Abraham was married to his half sis Sarah. Egyptians regularly practiced sibling marriage. This is a new beginning for these people, as it was for Adam and Eve, so it is to some extent unavoidable. I assume that the idea with VV is to replicate some of the hardships of such a situation. I think at least an occasional newcomer would be nice so we don't wind up with a village that looks as if all were cloned. I also think it would be nice to have some contact among islanders. However, there is one more cardinal point for a village; then connection might be planned for VV5. What I would really love would be an opportunity to select the random or traded villagers to achieve certain goals. I would also appreciate a system for commending or rebuking VV's as in VF. I would also like to see children and nursing mothers able to do some limited tasks as in VF. I also would like to see more interaction between/among people.
