I just got this game today and what can I say, I'm totally hooked. I had to start over tonight due to my whole village starving to death a few hours ago, and I'm trying to build tech points by having 5 of my villagers at the research table and 1 staying on top of the food supply...

I've set all 5's skill pref to research, but they still keep trying to either sneak or outright RUN away from the research table LOL!!

And I swear, they *know* when I come back to watch them - I play on the non full screen option, and I keep switching back and forth from the internet to the game (w/o pausing the game)... I swear everytime I go to check on the game, they're all nonchalantly hanging out near the research table like "no, we're not going anywhere, we're doing our work, like you told us to..." then I click back to the internet and back to the game and I catch them redhanded trying casually sidle away from the table. LOL!

I feel bad dragging them back when there are obviously so many things on the island that they're curious about, but hey, we need those points!

Just wanted to share... this is a great game
