You know, I just tell my farmers to farm, my builders to build, by researchers to research, and so on. When they're masters, I hook them up with a new skill. When I want a puzzle worked on, I get the job started, and my skilled villagers finish it.

So many rules and regs! All I want to do is play a game!

no, i do not even give one punishment to my villagers!
by the way, i dont wanna make it normal.

You are definitely right there, Lurkily. Fullstop. It's funny to see how the game has evolved form being care free, to an island where elderly don't work, laundry is strictly forbidden, and the guiding hand can punish wrong-doing villagers! I think I am going to start a tribe where everyone can do what they want - wont that be a change!

So everyone will be worrying about food?

Heres how I do in a new tribe:

First, when everyone is adept at a skill, i switch until they are adept at farming, building, researching.

Now I let my villager choose what to do, but not worrying for food and just one person farm :P

Awards for villagers:
>First master in 3 skills:
Do anything you like for a day

>First master in 5 skills:
Do anything you like for 2 days

>First master in ANYTHING(5 AWARDS):
Do anything you like for 3 hours

>Random master I found:
Get a new cloth!

>Random villager that is a JOAT:
Do anything you like, forever!

Won't they all die? I mean, they don't have a single skill except building, at first. Isn't it more work to keep track of who's gaining skill, who's a master that hasn't been rewarded and who's been a master for months, etc etc? It's not like these things are easy to track.

I don't want playing a game to become more wearisome than going to work.
