I don't restart to get a better tribe, but because I'm bored with my current one and want to start doing the puzzles again. Only times I've restarted otherwise were either because everyone died or there was a lack of females.

I like to breed my runner with the slower folks and far away from the Love Hut...not necessarily better breeding but sure as heck is funny. I mean my runners clear beach, clear blockage, and water field long before the researchers are ready to chisle an idol or buld ruins, so I have to keep them busy somehow when there is plenty of food.

Talking of which, I can't quote figures, but most of my runners have been female. I have had some males, but there seems to be a bias towards women, at least for me.
I agree!! When I get a guy runner it's like gold

I restarted my original game to try the HARD setting and well my population died off so I had to restart again.

Upon restarting, I received a RUNNER for the first time. She died today and I am still mourning her death because she was the best Villager ever!

This girl loved to work! I didn't have to keep watch on her too much because she stuck to whatever job I placed her on. Even if she wandered off to take care of another task for a quick moment, she would always come back to her original job. She was great for building and cleaning up debris and the lagoon.

I am sad that all of my 1st generation villagers have now passed away because my 2nd generation villagers are SO lazy. I can really use a few runners with this group I have right now. I have to keep watch on them constantly!

I have a runner farmer who is nursing, and I can't help thinking she must be really, really bored. After all, how much fun can it be running in a two-foot diameter in the village centre? heh

LOL! Occaasionally nursing mothers go outside that area, or I'll just move one just to give them a bit of scenery.

BTW, everytime I see this thread I think I'm on Pern because I keep reading the subject line as "Where is the runner beast?" ROFL
