I have been playing for two days now and I haven't had an island event yet... Is the time frequency the same as VVI??

If you have had an island event - what was is and what was the outcome?

Thanks!

PS - LOVING the game!!!!

I've had two - one after only a few minutes and one after a few hours.

The first was when a child found some strange black seeds and was wondering whether to plant or eat them - I told him to plant them and all the plants around them died. I'm glad I didn't tell him to eat them!

The second was just a popup stating that the children had remembered something about their past. I can't remember the exact wording but the parents went off for some reason and left the children with one adult, but nobody's sure what happened to him.

Kjlyttle, send a PM to ladycfii and explain... you should have had 2 events in the first hour snd ar keas one more in the next 24 hours

I had two in the first hour.

I had a couple early on... one about the kids remembering something. I don't recall the other. But I also had some interesting ones... like a friendly parrot dropping nuts in my food bin (+500 food), one of my villagers finding a love note (and winding up an adept parent from the exchange of love notes), one of the infamous "vial of liquid" events... and a "special pearl" event that I can only think didn't have a happy resolution possible since I imagine "keep it for herself" would have resulted in her becoming a hermit and I know from experience that sharing it with the tribe resulted in an outbreak of greedy fighting that cost me 200 tech points.

I had one where my villager found a crystal ball...her choices were to keep it, or give it to the children. I was worried something might happen to all my children (it was about an hour in, so I had 4 kids) so I made her keep it. Well she woke up feeling "strange" and looked over at...herself! She had switched bodies with one of the children, so she suddenly had no skills. On the plus side, I have a kid who's an apprentice scientist!

I lost 1000 research points after a thick fog blanketed and then lifted from the island. I just started this morning so it wiped out all my points

I've had several events.... lemme try to remember some of them... hmmmm...
Found drying fish left by birds.... tasted fish, gained food.
Found poem stuck in tree by admirer... wrote own poem, exchanged a number with secret admirer, never found out who it was.
Drank or ate SOMEthing... felt funny; no other effects.

Jer

I got one event where one of the kids was having nightmares, and one options was to wake her up, the other was to not wake her up. One event were the stupid birds annoyed the researchers and they dropped bowls (= research points). One event were one of the kids remembered something about the grown ups that used to be with them.

Huh. The only event that I've had in the last several hours is the kids remembering their past. My fault tho; did a bit (1 hr) of time travel and probably missed it. Next time thru ;-)

I had an event where one of the children heard noises coming from the bushes that sounded like voices. The options were: A- Back away from the voices OR B-Investigate the voices. I chose 'B' and when the child went to investigate, she discovered the "voices" were actually noisy parrots. But, then she became curious as to why they were so noisy. She found that they were feasting on wild nuts, so she gathered as many as she could and brought them to the tribe, which gained +700 Food.

I had one with a falling star...should the villager wish for herself, or the village? I chose the village, and gained 1606 tech points!

I had an awesome event that involved islanders from VV1...so exciting! very cool.

I just had one where one of my villagers got knocked on the head with a coconut and forgot everything so the options where rest or hit her agin....I hit her agin and she still didnt remember but got some experiecne in ever skill.

i just got one where one of my villagers found a heavy sack. i had him open it and it was full of fire ants that bit him and killed him! he was only 37 years old.

I had a "drop the coconut" or "soak it in water" I said soak it. Don't remember exactly what happened but thought I should have dropped it instead.

I finally got an island event!!! It's been 3 days and I don't time travel... strange. But at least I got one. Unfortuantely, I drank the liquid and lost a ton of skill (I am not positive, but I think she lost two skills completely and went from a Master Scientist to a Trainee) BUMMER!!!
K

I got the "special pearl" event... share it with village or keep it herself. .. I kept it and she felt she could do no wrong in anything she did, so she became apprentice in everything!

I had the fog....but the villiagers found a scroll and gain 1,000 tech points. One child remembered the adults looking at some writing the same day everyone disappeared. I had the dried, salty fish, a teleascope which gained about 1,000 points as well. Nothing bad so far.

ugg... i got a sack and when I opened it there were a bunch of furry scared mice.. WHICH bit my villagers and made them sick!

3 days?? Sounds like you really need to check in on the villagers more often.

I got a savage boy scratching his back with instrument. Choice was to scare him away or lure him with food. I chose lure him with food. He ate up 500 food, which happened to be more food than the tribe had, then joined the tribe.

I also got the pearl event, but I chose share it with tribe. A fight broke out over the pearl, resulting in the pearl being smashed and lost.

There are also more than one sack. One sack that was stained contained fire ants, which bit and killed the villager that opened the sack. Another sack that was mostly intact contained tools and mice, gain technology but made villagers sick. Another sack that was not stained but was ripped had only mice in it, making villagers sick.

I also got an annoying parrot, that startles the researchers, causing them to lose technology points.

I did 2 tribes, that's how I got so many events. My first tribe had 1 of the 2 adults eaten by fireants in the first hour, then the annoying parrot took away technology points so they couldnt get enough technology for the farming or engineering before the algae bloom happened. So I had to start over. Then I got the sack with mice and equipment, and the pearl event.

Hey hey,
I had this before, and I told her to keep it, having had the same thing earlier about the table over-turning.
If you tell them to keep it, they get better at researching!
Which is strange, because that's why I originally told them to give it to the researchers, because in VV1, that would result in hermitism and possible muttering to oneself.
Which I seemed to have picked up since discovering this game!

HA, that's funny... My husband has threatened to throw the computer away I have been on this for 3 days solid With the exception of a few hours here and there!!

So far I've had 3 events, though the stats list only 2. (Because I counted one as an event, but the game didn't.) They were the Silver Mirror, Blessing Day Celebration, and the children remembering that somehing had been buried. The last one wasn't counted in the game as an event as such, but I did.

Blessed be you.
Katherine.

I just had an event! Two MORE people fell down the waterfall to join us. Everyone did a little celebration, except me, because I'm worried about the food supplies. (Although I have nearly 900, so it's a silly worry.)

I had another event this morning. Hole in the sand in the beach. I told my villager to investigate it. Apparently there was some kind of beast in there that tried to hurt my villager. He managed to get out but lost some health (although not much).

I have had the same one on two different villages. It is "The Prettiest Girl". One of the girls tries to find out if she is the prettiest girl on the island. If she says she is, she winds up having Work and Learning on her dislikes. If she says she isn't, then the other villagers like her and she gains skill in Parenting.

i had the event when one of my villagers felt like saying these 2 words, i chose one and something happened. then one of them, drank a green vial and had a mohawk, and i had little "B" come to visit me.

i got the one with the coconut, i chose not to hit him, he just forgot, but didn't lose anything.

I got the sack butlearned from the villageidiot not to open anything that wasn't tightly sealed. :-)

Got the looking glass or something like that, gave it to the scientists and got 3000 tech points :-) loved that one!!!

and i also got the one with the children remembering something or other.

I just got one that was a plastic sack that washed up on shore and when I opened it, it had preserved food in it and it gave me 1500 in food!

oh do you mean the children told a story about the people that were with them?

no it just popped up, children remember a little of what happened, and an adult dissapeared into the woods and was never heard from again.

oh i had that too! i always get it when i drag an adult villager onto a child and all the children go to the village center and it says"listening to a story" and the adult is "telling a story"

After awhile instead of telling a story they teach the children. And all of the children come and it says atteding lessons. But I can't tell if this increases the childrens skill level. Does anyone know?

I do know that sometimes it increases the parenting skill.

i'll have to try that, :-) right now i'm waiting for the 3 women to stop caring for the babies!!! 12 minutes lasts for 12 hours in this game!!! i'm dying!!

I had one where a guy found a wierd coconut and the options were to thow it against the rock or soften it in the pond, i told them to soften it in the pond and it sank to the bottom some of the villagers laughed. i just got the remembering one an it says "One of the children remembered something! On the day they disappeared, the adults were hiding pieces of something and then left to find something else. One adult remained behind to watch the children, but what became of that guardian is unclear."

Did anyone else get this one? Plus it says at the bottom of the screen "this villagers has improved at parenting"

Has anyone had the event about the dragon flies? I am skating on thin ice with my village (desperately need tech points to get level 3 farming) and I don't want to mess it all up. Should I chase them away or ignore them???
Thanks for your help!
K

i ignored them, and something good happened, but the event could have different outcomes.

Ditto.

Both telling a story and teaching increases a villagers parenting skill eventually, it has no effect on the children though (which is kind of sad).

Thanks so much!!! I appreciate the help!

Are you sure? My kids gained a bit of parenting skills whenever I did it.

The kids gained parenting skills? Hm, sorry, I dont think so. Its rather the adult who teaches or tells a story whose skills are getting better. I havent noticed any change in the kids' skills.
But them lining up for a lesson looks pretty sweet

My kids have some parenting skills, the only way I can figure out they got them was from story time and teaching.

Let me see if I can capture a screenshot of their detail screen for you.

Keep your fingers crossed, I've never succeeded at this before.

Kids can get parenting skill from Island Events.

I had one with a mirror and had to choose between two words to speak and the one I chose doubled my villager, which was great cause I only had seven at the time.

Oh, I might have just missed it then!
Maybe because it didnt seem logical to me, I actualy had an eye upon their working skills (cause that was actually what they were shown in the lesson)

I'll take a closer look next time my kids get lectured - thanks for telling me

I had the fire ants less than an hour after I started. It looked really strange with a negative tech points for that couple seconds it took me to read the event.

i have only had 2 island event and i've been playing for 21 hours.


i never get many events

Just had a very nasty event, something similar to pest, making the food in the food bin and all crops & coconuts rot away.
Had zero food in the end - sigh.

The first time around when I banged the gong it took health...
Looks like I am not lucky atm

you will only get an event once maybe twice a day

I had a child who liked playing with blocks but the adults thought she should be "taking her place at the research table" in which I let her play and she gained alot of building skills

I got this in the start of game and investigated and my 1 adult male disappeared into the bush never to be seen again.

What happens when you chase the "dragonflies"?...I don't time travel and I don't get very many events...I wish I did!

I had the same event, and I tried letting him apprentice at the table. He gained a little bit of research skill, but went back to his block-playing. I believe you chose the better option, MonkeiMom.

I just had an event where some of my villagers left (the strongest and youngest) to go explore the south side. I think 15 total left. I wonder if they're coming back..

Oh my... That's a lot of villagers... That'd be nearly half my population! I hope they do come back, but somehow I doubt it...

(I came back to frozen Canada after exploring the south, and to this day wish I hadn't...)

I had the same event, joplinn. Was it called 'A dangerous mission'?

yes Charley. I'm still hoping they come back and this is something cool.

That's funny, I have a girl I think is the prettiest (there is a thread about her somewhere but mine came with the name Coral and isn't dressed the same) Oddly enough her dislikes?...work and learning (I should change her name to the name of my daughters name!) I think she is going to be a professional Mommy when she grows up. (Coral, not my daughter!)

I had one where someone found a gold coin. Had option of giving it to scientists or adorning clothes. Gave it to scientists and got 2000 tech points.

My prettiest little princess also has a dislike for learning. She's doing alright, but she's a little slow to pick up. Funny how the prettiest ones have the dislikes for academia or work. It's almost as if the game was designed that way, like real life.

I've had one of my children have a coconut drop on his head & forget who he was. You can either let him rest or drop another on his head to see if he will regain his memory I chose the former and he lost his memory completely and also I had to rename him.

I just had the worst, strangest event!!! Somehow during the night all of the infants have vanished! The mothers are all in a panic...why would anyone program in mass kidnapping? Could it be a precursor to VV3?
I want my babies back...

ok now i have been jealous of all the island events happening... but i don't think i want to have to put out an "Amber" alert or lose 15 of my villagers.

I've had 10 events so far, but nothing really drastic... I think I've been quite fortunate.

Here's one: something about one of the villagers bragging about being the fastest runner. you can either challenge them to a race or agree with them (to shut them up I guess)
My daughter got that one twice (only once that I saw) and when I agreed with them, they liked running even more. So she got a tribe starting out with 2 runners!

Oh here's another one:
'Biggles' wants some time on the research table. Your options are let him or refuse him. I let him have at it and he messed it all up making me lose 3000 tech points! Lucky for me though my tribe was only about an hour old so I didn't have that many to take, but I was still mad at "biggles"

i got the event where one of my villagers found a small plastic bag. i could either open it or leave it alone. i opened it and it was full of coconuts so i got 500 food.

That's similiar to another event posted on here, with a female villager bragging about being the "Prettiest on the Island". If you agree with her, she doesn't want to work anymore, but just wants to laze around enjoying the pond or what not.

I just got an island event that some freakin parrot died and a lot of villagers became sick. It said "call the doctors." I have a population of 114. That was a lot of healing!!!!

I just got the same event called "where are the infants" lost 12 babys. I was asking myself the same questions but most of it who and how since we can't get around anything past the beach or the wall. Mayby we should look in the gong incasment cave to see it there a way out ??

I'd about 40 event since I started that village but this is the sadest for me. I can live with the other things but lossing kids, now that is hard.

The Pearl
Then i lost my 1,000 points
then the monkey cost me 1,000

I got Biggles too. I remember thinking to myself, "Who in the world is this Biggles guy and where did he come from? I did not name anyone Biggles!" (I rename my people) Stupid me...said let him research.

It was the first village I had with VV2 and I let him work at the table and he took every tech point I had...which I was saving up to buy tech in farming (level 2) and was low on food already...by the time I had about 4000 tech points and had not had food for quite some time, my people started getting weak and eventually they all died.

Alas, my first village only lasted a few hours.

But those villagers left strict instructions to kick his sorry-little-tech-point-taking-*** if he ever shows up again...so far he's steered clear.

The weirdest thing I've had so far happened to me yesterday.

This girl with blonde hair (thick and maybe curly?) was walking along and she found a vial with a thin orange liquid in it.
To drink or not to drink???
Feeling adventurous, I said drink.
"She's not quite feeling herslf"
I looked at her again and she's got a completely different head!
YES! H E A D!!!!!!!
Now she has long blonde braids or something like that.

I have had them switch bodies and die and a few other things...but a NEW HEAD???

Any one else had this?

No! Never! are you sure it was an orange liquid? with this liquid, my villagers improve in a skill! Normaly it's with the green liquid that some stranges things happens.

I've had the villager's head change. I was quite upset 'cause it was my favorite villager and then she looked all different! lol jk

I just checked on my village today and found one of the little girls standing IN the fire. Really disturbing if you ask me.

Odd thing... I have 91 villagers? Can one have that many??? I learned about opening things when I first began VV 2. Something came up about my Master Builder finding some sort of bag on the beach. I was too anxious to get in and make points to buy Farming Tech, so I just pushed anything, and apparently that bag was filled with fire ants that killed her. She was 46. I about had a fit because I had about 12 villagers at the time. That rather horrified me.

Yes, it's possible to have 91 villagers, or even more! The most obvious reason for 91 villagers is that you had 89, and then someone had twins.

It just depends on how many twins or triplets were birthed at one time.

One member had a fluke with identical matings at the same time and wound up with 113 villagers. Apparently there are screen shots, but I havent seen them yet.

Has anyone else noticed that villagers mate when you haven't "encouraged" it? I kept hearing all this "embracing" noise going on, about once every 3 or 4 seconds. I finally scanned to look to see what was going on, and one of my 53-year-old females had cornered a 45-year-old male outside the flowered hut, and wouldn't allow him to get away. Nothing resulted because I have the maximum population that I can have, but I have a feeling they were kind of stuck doing this, over and over. Once I put them at different places in the village, it all stopped. A glitch, perhaps?

I have noticed that too! It's not a glitch, I think! There is some male villagers who are more attractive than others for the females and when they have catched one, they don't let him go! When I check the details of the kids, I often notice that this guy is the father of many of them (with different mothers!)!

yes that is the alpha male !
every once in a while there comes a stud muffin the women just love !!

I have also noticed that one male will stay with the same female. However, When I checked on my village tonight, there were FIVE people coming out of the flowered hut...two males and three females, one a 38-year-old Elder who should know better!

For all you lady villagers who have to share a man, Buru is available.

Buru just turned 20. He has black hair and a muscular build.
He enjoys long walks on the beach, fishing, and gardening.

Best of all....HE'S RICH!!!

He owns 50 totems and a village all to himself.

The only thing he doesn't have is a good woman to enjoy it with.

Anyone interested?

Here he is today on his own private beach.

Gee sorry Buru ... I have alot of ladies that would probably like to share the island, but at present, most of the viable breeding ones are busy (some studmuffin has been busy while it was on normal time) LOL. But like someone else here, I have a few elderly smoochers LOL.

Two events I haven't heard anyone mention:

One happened after an unpleasant bang of the gong ... I was feeling sad because it took health ... luckily, I have "well-rounded" my villagers, and more than 70% of the adults are at LEAST trainee healers ... so when a few people got sick, they were immediately healed. I felt bad though, and wanted to make it up to the village, and the very next day, when I opened the game, I found the villagers were having a celebration party for the BIG HAND WHO HELPS THEM THROUGH THEIR DAY!! LOL!!! So I figured they had forgiven me LOL

TODAY, when I was playing, all of a sudden a message came up:
A warm westerly breeze is going across the island, and it refreshes the villagers, AND refreshes the COCONUT TREES ...
And for the first time in a very LONG time .... my coconut trees, picked clean every harvesting with about 36 coming in each time the crop matures, and decimated to about 6, suddenly had 980 COCONUTS!!!! Come to think of it, that could have also been attributed to a gong banging ... hmmm ... last time it said "The Gong grants food!" .... maybe a combo of both?

The gong grants food by making the west wind blow! I had that last night as well. Today when I went to my village, the west wind was blowing, and my coconuts had totally replenished. And there was a line of Farmers carrying nothing but huge crabs. The one about "takes health" sends your adept doctors into a frenzy of healing, which not only healed my villagers, but made two of them Master Doctors.

i I had the same with my favourete villager I too was upset.

Anyone had the "Foul Passing" event yet? I tried searching but got no results.

Anyhow, it's a nasty one. I had in excess of 35,000 units of food when the "foul passing" happened. The crops withered, the coconuts fell off the trees, and the food in the bin rotted away. The village (of 111 at the time) was left with 0 food...

Let's hope they all make it!!!

I got one today Foul passing and had another last week.

I've had that one twice..with a village of 115! I just put those who had been farmers and had their mastery back to work, and we had 35K food in no time. For me it wiped 435K food and 395K food. Just put your former farmers back to farming. You will have plenty of food in no time. And don't let them give you "Worried about food"...just put them to work!

I also had this event many times! I select all the villagers as farmers (except the doctors) and... Hop!... Every body in the ocean for fishing!
I think this event happens only when the tribe exists since a long time and when you may have fishing as you want!!

Well, happily, the foul passing doesn't seem to have had too much of a negative impact on my village after all. The farmers got to work straight away and everything's now manageable again - two of them were runners, so that helped - and nobody got particularly hungry as stocks replenished. Good thing was, the farmers managed it all by themselves, without having to change anybody else's immediate tasks (in my village, generally, the teens to twenties work as builders, by late twenties to mid-forties as farmers, then as scientists until they drop...seems to be the best pattern I've found yet, although of course there are variances to both a positive and negative extent!).

Foul event? That's a new one for me, along with the missing babies.

I have had the infents taken event, Biggles Event, finding a hole and a villager found a pocket watch, which gave the villagers 2500 tec points, and other findings, also in hole small snecks, escape and villagers get sick, something smally nasty and the villager gets very sick.

I have had 2 island events as well..one was a hole that had tools in it..gave me 1000 tech points..the other was a liquid in a vial..i chose to have my villager drink it..and he said he felt not quite himself..and he then had a different head as well..lol

I got the dense fog today and lost 3000 tech points..but im well over 200k so it really didnt matter...and i also got the missing infants last night..which upset me bc i had 3 villagers pregnant w/ triplets

I found this on page 8 and about died laughing! LOL

[I just checked on my village today and found one of the little girls standing IN the fire. Really disturbing if you ask me.]

That really isn't funny, it just struck me as hilarious though...don't know why...oh, man, my gut hurts from laughing so much!

Has any one had this event.

Yes! but this event is a little dangerous! It could be some bad things inside the hole as ants...

Yes I have. I was very uneasy about investigating, but I did, and fortunately nothing bad came of it.

I got the "Taken the children" event yesterday, and was confused when I saw that my tribe was still at 113, and all of the children were STILL THERE .... who did they take? I still had two ladies with babies, and 17 children, from ages 3-12, so who did they take? LOL. I can't attribute it to time away passage, since I visit the tribe every night, at least to keep the "home fires burning", and I have it set to 1/2 time.

I haven't had one for the last 2 weeks for some reason...is something wrong with my game?

The most common cause for a lack of Island Events is that the computer's system clock has been adjusted (intentionally or not). You can see one player's experience (after his mother changed the computer's clock) here.

That happened to me as well. I even have a screenshot of it...Here's the event saying that the children had been taken and there's clearly a child hanging around the fire just above the event pop up!

Sometimes I open my game in the morning before going to work at 7ish am if I forgot to put a villager to put wood on fire I always get an island event, even though I had event the night before. Sometimes this can be annoying if it is a bad event 3/4 of my villagers get sick from a dead parrot, so between eating my porrage, I got to get the doctors to heal them they always seem to be sick. I then get the child to heal 3 or 4 of the doctors, then I leave the doctors to it.

I just got the island event where the pesky, annoying parrot knocks things over at the tech table .... what almost knocked ME right off my CHAIR, was how much tech points it took ....

********************* 4,769,865 ***********************


OW, OW, OW, ... WOW, WOW, WOW!!!!!!!

Thank goodness it doesn't affect how many CUMULATIVE tech points you have in the stats!!!

I agree...otherwise we both would have been in a lot of pain with this island event. Mine took about 800,000 or 8 million tech points.

(I forget how many numbers there were in the screenshot I have and not sure if I'm going to be able to recover the screenshot either. Home puter crashed. )

My infants are missing as well. I want them back lol.

The savage boy:

The love note:

The fastest runner:

If you want more reply to this topic

Buru is the only villager on the island?!
Actually he has dark brown hair...like mine.

Im at the event of the spyglass. People have told me this one can realy improve your island people. What are the choices??

iEmiwi, this thread will help you.

I had this one today.

Friendly Parrot
Of the many parrots living near the village, one in particular is not afraid of the villagers. Even when the children chase the parrots away, this parrot is always the last to fly off. Now surprisingly, he started dropping nuts in the food bin. Your villagers gained 1200 food.

When I was playing my 1st tribe again today, I got the EVENT of "STRANGE REQUEST". This time when I got it, I clicked "allow request" and it TOOK 9,000 tech pts., INSTEAD of GIVING 3,000. JUST lucky at this time that I had OVER a million in tech pts. I guess the RANDOM EVENTS are CONSTANTLY changing.

That's right. Not fair, is it?

My first event was one of my children hearing strange voices in the surf. Based on another person's experience where it turned out to be birds who were feasting on nuts, I had her investigate. She vanished, and will never be heard from again.

I was only 15 minutes into the game. I restarted it.......... :-<

Ive never gotten this one...

The Foul Passing

A strange feeling is in the air. Suddenly,
the crops become infested, the coconuts fall rotten off the trees, and the food bin becomes tainted. Something foul passed through the village and had a devastating effect on the village food sources.

Now I have zero food! and several of my villagers were dead, not sure if because old, or this event...

When I started I got the dragonflies event and chased them off. Then an hour later got it again. I guess the game gave me a do over so I ignored them the second time.
