I tried to drink a vial of liquid, sorry I don't remember what color, everyone became sick from the vapors except the villager that opened it. I of course used her to heal the doctor first in an attempt to heal everyone else. I would drag the doctor to a villager and he would heal them, but then start to relax, exercise, eat, or whatever else he could think of. I spent the morning dragging this guy from one villager to the next. I just thought it was funny...here he was surrounded by 63 sick villagers, and he decides to chase butterflys...LOL

Mike

thats funny

Just out of curiosity, did your doctor have healing checked as his preferred skill?

That's too funny! I had a pop up message where one of my villagers found that vial of liquid, but I chose for him to dump it out instead of drink it. Glad I did, or my doctor probably would have been chasing butterflys too.

I've had interesting things happen with my doctors too. I had someone as a master doctor and when some of my villagers got sick I tried to have him heal them and it kept saying "This villager has already mastered this skill!" everytime I put him on someone to heal them! I swear, he just didn't want to work

That message, "This villager has already mastered this skill" appears any time a villager performs a task in a skill they're already maxed out in. They still heal (or research, or whatever). It just makes them look lazy, like they're whining about what you asked them to do!

Aahhh okay - because after I get that message they didn't seem to be healing/have healed so I'm like "duh, shouldn't my MASTER doctors be HEALING my villagers?!"

well it's obvious really.... they're on an HMO

Lol!!! It's so true - just like the construction workers formed a union and they only work for a few seconds, then they have to eat, relax, drink water, look around, THEN get back to work

I als had a villager drink the vial and get everyone sick. The first thing I did was have my healers heal each other, but then I also had them trying to run off and do anything but heal people. Eating, laundry, pushing the **** boulder, swiming, dancing, you name it, they wanted to do it as long as it didn't involve being around sick people. I did see a few times that one would voluntarily heal someone, but mostly I had to hunt the healers down and toss them back onto the scrum of sick people hanging out near the well.

Arthur might need to check that out - master doctors shouldn't have retired to the golf course, er lagoon!
