I got the following:

Villager ate magical berries that turned him into a kid.
A beached whale was stuck...I killed him for 1000 food.
A crate washes ashore that contained a little boy.
Food went moldy. Did not notice, and it killed off all the elderly.
Another whale was beach, so I freed it for 1 spiritally tech point.
A man arrive on a boat to study the plants. I let him do it, and I got 1 medicine tech point.
Debris washed ashore...this happened about 8 times.

I had a few others I cannot remember.

LOL @ Tibby

considering i'm new to the boards i decided to sick my 2 cents in to the circle.

i've had...
the stupid birds that ate half of the berries off the bush.
the savage monkey attack.
the friendly monkey who messed with my reserch and gave me an extra 10000 tech points.

those were the only ones where you had no option of doing anything about it.

Welcome to the forums, Morna! That was a nice research bonus!! I hope your villagers didn't get too hungry after those darn parrots ate the berries!

Tibby: You have an interesting Village. I love to read your posts. Maybe LDW could use your ideas with their next games!

thanks for the welcome ladycfii,
i've been reading the fourms for a few days, ever since i finally checked my email and found out that LDW made a new game and bought it that same day. whew long sentince.
anyway those birds took away most of my berries at the begining of that game but i ended up restarting the game 3 times before i finally got into a groove with this one and now i've learned not to turn on my palm at 5am when i'm half a sleep. when i woke up the next morning i woke up to find out that i restarted the game in my sleep. and that my friends is a HUMAN BUG. ::grins::

Ouch! I always wait until I've had my coffee in the morning to do anything serious (like play Village Sim)!

On my first game, I had 15 island events by the time I got all but puzzle 12 done. I had debris wash up 3 times and had all my food washed away by a storm 4 times!!! That was really irritating. This game, I have all but puzzles 10 and 11 and have only had a measly 5 island events.

My first game was on easy setting, this game is on medium setting. I wonder if the difficulty level changes the frequency of island events.

I had a stranger show up wanting a few sample plants & some seeds to take with him...I said no and it wasn't pretty.

sometimes it pays to be nice to strangers....
