*Pthhhhhhhbt* Yeah, I'm sitting at work and playing with my Sony Clie instead of writing a report due in like a week.
Barely slept... worrying about the silly villagers... I cut it close.

Here's my story so far:
Day1:
2 on science, 3 berry picking, 1 builder. They seemed pretty happy so at 700 food units, I asked them to "go forth and be fruitful!" They made a cute baby girl ...
They started to consume fruit a lot more! So I kept dragging them to pick berries and not idle, as I was at work, and at 1200 units, the silly berry tree ran out of berries! OMG!
So I put the remaining two idling farmers to science... and lo! At 149 food units left, they got Harvesting Level 2 for their hard work (and my grey hair!)!!!

Day2:
One builder eventually finished the first hut in 24 hours... or less - amazing. So now, they seem to be pretty happy going along... but my batteries on my Sony is running dangerously low, and I have to rush off to work where I left my charger... coz I thought: "Hey! It runs real time, I shouldn't have to watch them every minute... right?" ...
*WRONG* Now I gotta give the girl running around something to do or play with. *sigh*

To be continued...

If you are worried that you will miss out on the fun, pause the game. It is a lot less stressful doing this, rather coming back to the game to find that the villagers hadn't quite understood what you expected them to do, and are are starving, or worse still.....dead
