I like runners. I am also guilty of "auditioning" my opening cast of characters. Looking for Runners, Workers, and those that hate dancing or playing. I had one guy that didn't like crowds. I thought that he would steer clear of the GC parties...but he just danced in the wings! AND anit-crowd villagers work best all by themselves, btw. They will research by themselves or with just a few others, but tend to try to leave the table over and over if your running everyone at once. They make good farmers or builders (as long as it's a project that lets them go and get stuff) and good doctors as well. (I have a village that has over 80 Master Doctors! hehehe everyone over the age of 14 hehhee can you say OCD ?)

Anyway... where was I? hahha oh Runners... Love them Runners.

But what makes me crazy is the ones the dislikes RUNNING! don't get me started there! hahaha

I wonder what will happen when we HAVE to set the clocks back/forward for daylight savings time and things like that?!?!

You can check out this post for the answer!

Thank you very much!!

Sometimes I "audition", sometimes not. I figure that if I get different mixes then each game will be new and interesting.

When the game with the lone Cheop ended (a bad event killed him ) I restarted it, still in hard mode. The adults were two males and two females, and the kid (a boy) was a runner!

Progress so far: A good event gave me the Medicine level 2 and the adults have researched for Farming and Science level 2s. Overnight I had one of the females have a kid, and that was another boy, but I'll wait some more before having her have another or even building the hut. I'm also going to try to see if I can do this game without fishing. It may be possible once my runner is old enough to work.

Thanks for the answers, all helpful and fun. I see that nobody addressed the McDonalds issue. Guess that one's not gonna fly! I read a post from one grump who said he only got 2 days out of the game and it was a waste of his money. I am in awe of him, I've been plugging away for five/six weeks and still only have a population of 17 (this is, of course, after I had accidentally killed off six previous villages). How he finished in 2 days, I'll never know. After all this time with these little buggers, I still have about twenty five million questions.

The idea that some of you have V V Auditions is a cack. Maybe V V Popstar, or V V Idol would be a goer?
