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?

Here's a made up event.

(Villager) has found a mysterious blue coconut on the coconut tree.

Choice A: Eat it on the spot.
Effect: (Villager) felt weird and lay down for a bit. When he/she woke up, he/she felt filled with knowledge. (Villager now full bar in every skill and get's totem, another way to go past 50 elder limit.)
Choice B: Give it to the scientists.
Effect: (Villager) drops coconut and undertoe washes it away at sea (No effect)

There we go peeps thats what I had in mind.

The Medical Cactus Gone Mad Event

One day a villager notices a strange new plant growing by the science hut. It's a very familiar looking cactus. (Familiar to those who play VV1)


Option: Eat the cactus

Effect: Instant master healer

Option: Don't eat the cactus

Effect: Villager develops a pathological hatred/fear of herbs, plants and healers.

Here's mine:

The Beautiful Song
(Villager) is walking on the beach and hears someone singing the most beautiful song. It is coming from further up the beach than anyone normally goes. (Villager) is unsure what to do. Should he/she:

Choice: Follow the song.
Effect: Villager finds a mermaid sitting on a rock. He/she is entranced by the song, and follows the mermaid when she dives into the water. Walks out into the water a short distance and stops at a drop-off. Sudden he/she is pulled over the edge by the ankle and is never seen again.

Choice: Stay in the village.
Effect: Villager stays in the village where it is safe, but everyone's morale goes up from the song and they are more productive in their work. (i.e. more tech points, more food points per time a villager brings food to the bin, more work gets done on building projects...you get the idea)

I actually prefer events that aren't clear-cut which are the better choices.

i.e. in your song event these effects could also result:

Choice: Follow the song.
Effect: Villager finds a mermaid sitting on a rock. He/she is entranced by the song, and follows the mermaid when she dives into the water. Walks out into the water a short distance and stops at a drop-off. The mermaid teaches the villager how to swim like a mermaid and tricks to catching fish. (Villager gains Farming skills as well as adding "ocean" and "swimming" to his/her likes.)

Choice: Stay in the village.
Effect: Villager stays in the village where it is safe, but pines for the song. Villager now dislikes work and likes relaxing.

Sometimes good or bad results could happen no matter what the choice the player/villager made.

hi im new

here's one of mine

The snake

#villager# finds a snake sleeping in the food basket while going to eat.

1.get a stick and lift the snake off

effect#1 the villager tries to lift the snake but it breaks and the snake bites him/her and kills them or makes them sick
also dislikes eating
effect#2 the villager sucsesfuly gets the snake of and eats but then becomes poisoned and dies

2.leave it alone

effect#1 the snake leaves and some birds come to eat the food but they die from poison
-500 food

You all have some good ideas here. Wish they were real events!!

There's a lot of water around, so how about events for water? The sea could flood up the coast and wipe out a single growth of coconuts or crops. Or there could be a lot of rain upstream from the waterfall, causing the lagoon to flood, which could temporarially make all the available land into farmland that can be planted.

Those would make more difference early in the game than late, but still be interesting.

I think there is one like that in which it affects the food, but taking your ideal a good one might be to flood the mosaic and destroying it. Then the villagers would have to clear it again. Or it could destroy one of the shacks and the villagers would have to repair or re-build it.
