Weird- i went on vv3 just now, and a villager was dead- i was sad, but i had been kind of expecting it. What i didnt expect was that moments after burial, i clickedthe grave, got booted back to the main ipod screen, and return to find her alive!!!! Ressurection? Glitch? The Hand's intervention? I dont know. Has this happened to anyone else??? Meza(the villager) was wanted dead, or alive, lol

The game saves your progress automatically every 10 minutes, as well as each time you exit the game normally; however, if there is a crash like you described, the game is not able to save the game state. In those cases, you will lose up to the last 10 minutes of play, and anything that happened during that time will be lost (including, in this case, your villager dying and being buried). That can be unsettling the first time you experience it, but it's normal after a crash.

Oh, thank you. She died and it was saved this time, but she got a couple years more life from this. I should be thankful lol. It was funny though, i tapped the grave, CRASH, and when i return shes "ressurected"
