I've killed my GC in one of my villages. I made the wrong choice in one of the events. Now, since he still shows up in the completed puzzles, despite dropping a nursing mother in the lagoon I can't get another one.

I know he can be a right pain at times, but he does have his uses when he feels like it.

In VV2 I've got a villager who hates swimming. A few days ago I changed his clothes so I could see him in the crowd and I put him to work in the field. Today I forgot about his swimming phobia and put him in the ocean. He rushed out at top speed. However, I later saw him going into the ocean where he not only started fishing, but actually caught a fish! Yet it still says he hates swimming!
