Hmmmmm.... If I were asked to submit ideas for new events, how about one where if a villager were stupid and stood still doing nothing in one place for too long, vines would grow up around the person and imprison them? That'd be a good way to get rid of villagers who do nothing but use up food...

Or villagers who go swimming too much could drown.

Can you tell I have a lazy one in my bunch?

Or with collectibles, what if the child were permitted to choose between giving it to the scientists to benefit the village vs keeping it in a private collection to enhance their own research skills when they reach adulthood?
