Ok, I'm sticking my neck out here. I have 5 villages established and have 1 non-GC village. I had an orange message box one day, one of those yes/no to opening a crate. I always say yes to these, in fact, didn't even notice it was the GC who found it, anyway, he was bitten and died.

Now, as a "refugee" from the RA forum, a little history of this now. I posted a thread called "Ding Dong the GC's Dead", you know to the tune of ding, dong the witch is dead from the Wizard of Oz, quite gleeful of "killing" off my GC.

This was a very popular thread, was even bumped up as someone's favourite "trick" post, I think. Anyway....

if you take the time to read a poem I wrote, in Carla's poetry thread, called "Letter to Arthur", I have done a complete u-turn regarding the GC. THERE I SAID IT!! HAHA!!

Anyway, the point of this rather rambling post is, that, it seems the main complaint (well at least mine was) his throwing parties when there are skeletons waiting for burial. Personally, I don't mind the parties, other then at that time. I'm not into a lot of control, just let my VV's go with the flow.

Arthur and co. created the GC for whatever reasons, personally I think his favourite childhood book was "Peter Pan", haha, and his faults are what they have created.

You can't blame him really, he's a 5 yr. old orphan. It kind of reminds me a little bit of that old Tom Hanks film, "Big", and the GC is after all, trapped in Arthur's creative web.

I think that if the GC was modified this character could be a useful VV addition!!

And by the way, they still like to dance a lot in my non-GC village, just not on the skeletons, haha!!

Best of Irish,
