An opportunity to get it off your chest

I confess:
I give preferential treatment to villagers if I like their appearance;
I become very impatient with "ugly" villagers who won't do as they are told;
I talk to, coax and cajole my villagers;
I shout at them too;
I have killed a villager who disliked work (see "Do you have a story", pp.26-27)
I spend way too much time with my villagers and even miss favourite TV programmes!

I do all that too! LOL! Well except kill off my villagers. I just can't bring myself to do it.

I feel very bad about killing my villager, that's why I wanted to start an online confessional LOL

I do that too, except I haven't killed anyone yet and won't unless they are really an anathema. And I hate the fact that I tend to favor villagers based of appearence. It's something society has been doing enough of in the real world... but I admit that is what I do.

Yeah, it's strange how many issues in VV mirror the real world. You bring all our prejudices with us, even if we are not aware we have any!

how do you kill off someone???

Hi rebecca, read the story on thread "Do you have a story, pages 26-27. Think several times about killing someone off, you might end up feeling really guilty about it like me

There is probably more than one way to do it, but the only way I know of is to [start highlighting here] make stew using three black herbs and force the villager to eat it 5 or 6 times until he dies.[end highlighting here]. Although they are only pixels, it is easy to grow attached to them, and killing them does seem wrong. I have felt very bad when villagers I became attached to, who worked hard and were instrumental in solving many puzzles, eventually died of old age before they could rest and enjoy the village after everything was completed.

I was about to kill one - then I just used her for geting sick and training doctors. About the time I named her LazyGirl - she became a Master Scientist. Just goes to show - never give up on anyone. They may surprise you.

It is rather sad that we actually care about our little villagers as if they had real feelings, when we are the ones with the feelings.
I can't kill my little people off. This game is very different from the last one. They will sit in some lonely little place and say they are feeling just a little bit lonely.
They actually age.
I too have favorites. It has nothing to do with thier work ethics.
Just some of them are just to cute. I'd like to just pinch the cheeks of some of those tiny little kids. NUTS! I know.
