I guess the puzzles are secondary to the gameplay for me. I love them and love trying to solve them on my own (which *pats herself on the back* I managed to do this game!), but I love the people, their actions, their little personality quirks, all of it, even more! Actually, I'm kind of relieved that all of the puzzles are solved in one of my games so that I can do more with my peeps.

If I do need hints, this is the place to come! Imagine if we COULDN'T ask for or look for hints here? This forum wouldn't be what it is today: a place for people to come, chat about the game and get as much or as little help as they need.

Arnie, I understand what your saying, but each player chooses how to play the game(s). One way is not better than another.

I totally agree with, Arnie!
Many of our younger generation are on a fast track of wanting instant gratification. This is not just happening in gaming, you see it in everyday life.
Our life experiences and opinions are completely invalid! We're simply OLD HAS BEEN that don't understand!

Someone once said to me, "Hire a youth while they know everything." 
Usually when they are in their twenties their braincells starts to function again. I should know, I had three of them.... 

I agree somewhat! I really do feel awesome when I figure something out myself, but on the other hand, i don't want to be tearing my hair out trying to figure it out! so after i have tried and tried to figure it out and i'm getting ready to give up, i just turn to the forums! they are a real life saver! the reason i found the forums is because i was tired of my little fishies dying!

I usually do not want any spoilers or anyone solving my dilemmas, however in this game it seems to be very hard to get healers. I have tried variations of stew (my poor villagers were vomiting all over) but they remained in good health. So no healers in my Village and I have only had 8 sick ones since I started.

I agree with Arnie, a game like this is very precious, it is so much fun to solve it yourself, we where all eager to get our hands on it and then wanting to finish it in a copple of days, that's such a pity ... I had so much fun solving everything on my own, (I avoided the forums because I didn't want to see unintended spoilers) I can understand tips are neccesary, we have a lot of youngsters and sometimes you really have to bent your mind to figure it out and before going nuts maybe all you need is a very delicate tip to see it yourself
