I admit I have thought of doing the same thing, and just a matter of minutes ago was sorely tempted, but so far I can't bring myself to do it. It wasn't to elders though, it was to a couple of 20-somethings who have refused everything I have tried to teach them. The elders, I let them just wander around and do whatever they like, I feel they deserve it. I just don't make them parents as they are dirty little old ladies and want only the younger men! LOL! So I only click on parent when I want them to teach the kids, then back to research and let them go their merry way.

That sounds absolutely terrible. If a villager that old doesn't want to learn just let them do as they please.
How horrible is that to delibrately kill off the elderly.
They are suppose to be your little Islanders who you teach the basics in life so that they can sustain themselves. To see how responsible you are to see just how far you can get in the game.They have made it that long and then to be poisoned just sounds awful.
Most people on this forum love thier little people. They do thier best to keep them alive not kill them off.

Blue_koka, I hope you weren't responding to my post, I agree with you but have admitted I've thought of it in frustration. But not with elders at all. I also think of them as my little people and I couldn't hurt them. :-)

Normally when my farmers and builders get to that stage where they're so old they can barely move I train them to research as a way to "retire" them and let the younger crowd take over. However, last night after five 70+ ladies refused to learn after multiple tries, I got frustrated and made a "special stew". I proceeded to force feed it to all women 50+ and killed them all off. After all, they couldn't breed anymore and I was tired of fighting with the stubborn old biddies when all I wanted to do was give them a well earned rest!
Then today when the elderly men refused to learn a new craft, I did the same to them, only I only killed off the men 65+. (I like to keep certain older ones strictly for breeding.)
I feel guilty about it, but doggone it, I'm the Goddess of this tribe. If they're not going to do as I say I shall have to bring down some old fashion wrath upon them! Well, Jami, you may be evil, but you also made me laugh out loud  I've been seriously tempted to do the same to two of my coconuthead guys who always end up in the center, sitting and thinking or being bored, no matter how much training and support they've got from me.

I renamed her Dunce and did not let her breed. That's about all I allow that sort of villager to do! When I discover their stupidity I'll put them on the research table as the easiest option until they are 18. They will then become brood mares until they are 50. Almost a lifetime of full-time mothering tends to knock some sense into them and they very often mend their ways in later years.  If only there were as good a solution for the men, though ... Especially at the beginning, making a man a dedicated parent is a recipe for disaster; all the nubile women are perennially nursing and the population explodes, usually causing a food crisis.

Since they're not real people - no. I tried to give them a chance to take a rest by putting them at the least physically chalanging place, the research table, and they wouldn't take the gift they had been given. So they died.

I dont think it's that evil. I did the same thing, only I killed everyone who wasn't a blonde. And I kinda consider it "Honorable sacrifice"

I can't bring myself to kill off any Elders. They've worked too hard & I keep putting them on the rock so they'll jump in the pool & have fun.
I have tried to kill off some of my lazy boogers though, & some of the guys that won't stop "embracing" my hard working farmers. They won't die though! Every time I try, some doctor-wannabe rushes up to heal them.
