Hi. I am new to this forum and this game. I have a few dumb questions to ask, and I hope I don't get too much fuss for asking.
1. How many real world minutes are in 24 hours game world?
2. How many real world minutes or hours are in a game world year?
3. How much food does one villager eat in one day?
Thank you for your time and I hope to hear back from someone very soon.

First off, your questions are NOT DUMB.

I have been playing for quite a while and I don't know the answers, either. This is the point of being on the forums. To learn about the games and get answers to questions like these.

Okay, someone who knows should answer. (Seriously, I want to know, too! )

It depends of the speed you have choice. I think that, in 2x speed, there is 1 "game year" in 1 real hour. I know that, in 1/2 speed: from about 7.00 PM to about 10.00 AM the tomorrow, my villagers are about 3 years older. Sorry, there is many "about" but I never took my watch

Well... for number 3 it would be hard to answer. Depending on how much you pause it and how much you starve them, it may be different. So really, the answer could be different.

thank you to all who have answered my questions (or attempted to answer them). I appreciate every answer. I am so used to getting flamed for simple questions that I was a little scared to ask them here.

Well, don't worry about asking questions here. No one is going to get upset about anything you ask about the games.

Is it unusual to have over 100 villagers?

No, not really.

how often (in real hours can you ring the gong?

Every 24 hours in 2X speed. I don't know if it's different in other speed settings.

You can ring the gong every 24 hours. It isn't different. I've tried it.

thank you all so much. it's hard to believe but I haven't had this game for more than a week and a half and I've already solved all the puzzles and I have 102 villagers, half of which are children. I never thought I would find a sim game so addictive, but it really is. my husband gets a little upset sometimes at the amount of time i spend playing this game. he doesn't know why i find it so appealing.

LOL, I know. My family doesn't get it, either.
And really, it's not all that hard to believe. I probably took about that much time on my first tribe. But I didn't have that many villagers!

BTW, Krystal, I read your story and thought it was very cool. I love how you made this game into a whole new world. Hats off to you!!!!

Krystal, you have a fan.

Awesome! I've always wanted someone to be a fan of my work.....lol
