I like to have the villagers who are in black and/or white clothing be the researchers. Ya know, little lab coats.

Hmmm, I have traditions. I like to mate my villagers if at all possible. When a nursing mum has reached that "0" hour, I take her to the beach or when found, the lagoo for her to give deliever her child. Each child has it's father's name and when the child reaches 14, the child is immerse in the lagoo as a rite of passage into the communty. I try also to have my elderly relax in the garden, in peace as they pass from this life to the next.

When it come to the fertility fish, I throw all of my farmers into the lagoo and let them have at it. May the best man or woman wish

i give my villagers "true names". like if they solved a puzzle, or if they mastered a skill, i give them a special name. (like if a villager caught the fertility fish, i would name him/her "Great Fisher").

whenever a female is caring for a baby, i send them on quests, fist, they must pay respects to their dead ancestors, then, swim across the lagoon, and then, survive the rough ocean currents. after all of that, they get to walk through the garden.

then the children always have to go to school 24/7 (even if there is a celebration) the only exceuse is to gather mushrooms.any child that doesn't attend school will have to walk on water!!!!!

and i let the elderly, fist walk through the garden, then eat at the food bin, go swiming at the lagoon, eat the magical fruit, then they die peacefully.

Wow! I'm kind of surprised and a bit impressed by all the rules folks have. The only one I have is "if I catch you doing laundry again I'm going to make you do some real work". I guess I'm a hands-off overseer instead of a benevolent (or not so benevolent) dictator.

I like the lab coat concept of Alleycat though.
