I know it's silly, but I like my characters and get just a wee bit sad when they die! They're so cute and huggable and they have such short lives and cute personalities. They were tiny little babies once, and now they are buried where they lived. Danged human emotional attachments! Bittersweet.

Don't worry, you're not the only one! It's why I take tons of pictures of my villagers and hold anniversaries for them every ten years. I haven't had any die yet in my current village, but in an old one a little 5-year-old died in the night while I was asleep. I buried the poor baby. I didn't delete that tribe or another one I made, but I haven't checked on either one in a while. They've probably all gone extinct by now.

By the way, I like your username.

Yeah...I just lost my Master Builder. He made it to 76. He built dang near everything...carved stones, dug up treasure...poor old guy....

I just found out one of my tribes went completely extinct. But here's the big thing: my tribe's maximum population was 8, but there were only six bodies (counting the little girl that I buried). Whatever happened to the other two? Is there an event where two of the villagers just disappear? Keep in mind I only solved four puzzles on that game, and not in order.

I feel most sad, when the first two villagers die. At the start of the game you have time to get to know them. But I keep pictures of the original first seven. They give me fond memories of them.

I woke up this morning and found two of my villagers had passed away from old age. One was really special because he was always working and was an elder at a young age.
They are all unique but some still have that special place in your heart.
Like my non-runner (great grandson of my first villager)who became an elder yesterday. I worked so hard to make him one and it took many of his years to finally succeed - it will be a sad day when he passes away.
I will admit I grieve for all of them when they pass.

Me, I get very sad when Chapa dies. Thats because she is a master doctor.

My oldest villager died today. He was 66 years old. He was the village grandfather. =(

I do get very upset when my villagers die. This is my first time playing and I time traveled but forgot I had the game on 2X. I only set my clock ahead 8 hours but I guess there wasn't enough food to sustain the tribe. I was devastated! My tribe is still intact so in the memory of my lost villagers we fight for our existance!

most people get emotional when their little villagers die.
especially the first ones!!

I got very sad when my villagers started to die. I'm still very new to this, so my villagers only live until about their mid-sixties. My original six villagers died, then the very first baby born in the village died. That really bummed me out.

Yes the first ones are all the hardest to forget!
