I still have my VV1 villages going. All 5 of them. I just completed VV2 and I already know that I'll keep it going and probably let the VV1 go (I started them about 1 month ago). Maybe I'll come back later and start over. VV2 just seems more easily maintained and at least I can still get tech points. I didn't get any tech points after the GC and none of the villager would stay at the table. Of course getting interrupted every 2 minutes might be the problem.
