A swarm of locusts destroyed my crops today. Does that count as my "event" for today? Or do all "events" have choices?

yes that would be your "event". No, all events do not have choices.
So sorry about your crops though

I was wondering if it is normal to go 3 or 4 days without any events, i am hoping for a barrel of babies as i have only 2 women left (woke up and the tribe died) and one is already elderly, the other close. I have been babysitting these 2 very well since but have yet to have any events for a few days. Is there a way to MAKE an event happen to save my poor girls from their dying tribe.

Well one of the girls died now....doh!...and my other is sick so i think she will be passing soon too. BOOHOO

you should get 1 event per day. If you go a few days without checking your villagers you still only get one event, they do not build up.
That is so sad that you tribe was wiped out.

I'm sorry you lost your tribe. Usually if you put your game on pause when your just starting a game,it will help keep them alive.
Because if they don't have enough food and skills they will all perish at night because we tend to sleep more than a couple of hours.And they need us more in the beginning.
GOOD LUCK!.

Is there an island event help on pdf somewhere? I got the black pearl and now I have an idiot for a master scientist as he's turned anti-social. There's one for vv2, but the white pearl is not the same as the black one that is for sure...lol. I just bought vv1 as vv2 got me really hooked into the story and can't do a story without the beginning.
1st event for vv1 was about a book which I choose share with researchers and it abruptly disappeared. The black pearl I decided not to share. Sheesh, wish I had read the book and shared the dang pearl!!!

Hello, I'm new to VV1 and loving it. I am stuck and hoping someone can help tell me what I've missed.
My tribe is doing well. I have all the tech info for my tribe (maxed to level 3 on all). I still have puzzles to figure out and I have no idea what I'm looking for. Tried the hints but no luck. What am I missing? Puzzles 10, 13-16 to figure out. 10 has my head spinning. I was doing so well up to this point.

You can find a lot of help in the Guide Section, including a detailed spoiler thread with all of the puzzle solutions.

can you tell I'm new? Thanks.
