In my last village, my 6th (killed the previous five, quite easy, really), I put the clock forward by one hour when I had stacks of nursing mums because they bore me and I love seeing the new kids. I had the flower field, graveyard, farm, lagoon, huts and my population was 22. I thought I was cruising, baby. When I got back into the game after adjusting the time, every male member of my village had died, leaving me with only females. I went back into the time to put it back to where it had been (I diddled by only 1 hour), but it made no difference, they were still as dead as dodos. End of game and I was furious with myself. Now attempting to murder my 7th village, but they have all survived me thus far, thrived actually, DESPITE my help.

I do have some questions, and I was wondering if anyone knows an answer, could you please post it?
What is a runner, is it a villager "running" no matter what you put them to (I had one of these dropkicks) and what do you do with a runner? (I used to put him in the ocean all the time, hoping to induce a major cardiac event leading to his death, but eventually starved him out).
When you enter the details of a character, is the background crystal clear behind the character, and the character out of focus or is it my puter?
How can you make builders when there is currently nothing to build, do you just put them at the research table and tick building?
When they are nursing, what does "nursing for" mean. Do they all nurse for different periods of time?
I know you can bang the drum and get all the kids to the schoolhouse, but is there any way to lock them inside for a while and have some peace?
I re-name all my villagers, and have just noticed my only child, gorgeous re-headed little thing called Lillie, is a boy. Would LDOW suggest counselling or will he adjust without any psychological damage?
Would anyone support my suggestion that LDOW incorporate a McDonalds in Version 2, I need a food backup. Mine usually starve to death. Big Mac = 5 tech points? Whatta ya think?

Please help if you can and everyone keep posting. This is so much fun to read,it's hilarious and the picture thread was brilliant, probably the only way I'll see a gc the way I'm playing. Any boy, was I wondering and wondering what he looked like! I don't post much, but I read all the others. So good to see that we "evictees" of RA had somewhere to go!
