The Malone Tribe found their beautiful island about three days ago. Right away they set out to foraging, researching and building. The elder Malone's are now proficient in nearly every skill and the great goddess, Pinky is patiently waiting for the younger Malone's to start making themselves useful. Level 3 farming, Level 2 everything else has left the tribe in a bit of a rut. The only puzzles they could solve right now is the discovery of the graveyard, yet the tribe members are all so healthy and full of vim and vigor that they can't even do that! They do seem to be overly obsessed with laundry and trying to push the boulder. The great goddess is growing bored and starting to feel a tad malicious.
===========================================================================
Attention Malone Tribe: All of your male offspring are now named George. And the one female offspring is now called Nancy. Got that? 5 Georges, 1 Nancy. That is all.

Now, to wait for some Island Events, of which I've only gotten 2, so that the goddess can start making some poor decisions.
===========================================================================
When George 1 finally reached working age, he was unsure what to do with himself. He had a little experience in research as both of his parents are master scientists, but he still seemed unsure. He stood in the clearing of his prosperous village, thinking. The Great Goddess Pinky observed him for some time, wondering if George 1 would try to take advantage of the free will covenant. After a while, the Great Goddess decided that George 1 was taking too long to implement his free will and with Her great hand of Godliness, compelled George 1 to become a scientist.

The Great Goddess also observed the elders dancing pleas for rain, but has thus far, not responded. Perhaps a drought will keep them away from the lagoon.
===========================================================================
When the Goddess graced the Malone Tribe with her presence, She was pleased to see 15 year old Nancy hard at work at the research table. The Goddess has deemed that the first generation shall be inclined to produce more children, lest Nancy be the only female of the second generation of the Malone tribe.

And still, not a single illness or injury has befallen this blessed tribe. The Goddess grows more and more impatient.
===========================================================================
Nancy is beside herself with worry, as George 1 has already begun work on the second hut and she is still the only female of the second generation in sight. The Goddess is amused by this turn of events. The rest of the villagers continue to send offerings of clean laundry to their Goddess in gratitude for their prosperity.
===========================================================================
After years of drinking unknown liquids and restlessly opening crates, the Malone tribe feels blessed that the Goddess keeps sending them steaks, bananas and more knowledge. They have built her a temple in appreciation. Sayeth the Goddess "Whoopie-dee-doo."
===========================================================================
The villagers are revolting! The Georges and Nancys watch in horror as the elders of the first generation defy the great goddess with cries of "Foix-hok! foix-hok! Set my people free!" and all run to the ocean in vain attempts to swim to freedom.
===========================================================================
Pinky is a vengeful Goddess. All the Johns and Marshas of the first generation are forced to honor the temple, in penance for the elders revolt.
===========================================================================
Alas, Pinky is a fickle and careless Goddess. While away at work, the poor tribe actually had a turn of bad luck and the village ceased to exist.

Ah well, the Goddess was bored with it anyway. Perhaps VV2 will prove more interesting.
