Thanks Arnie. I never knew that.

And Thanks SaxyT!
I'm confident he'll make it to 75.
What I'm not confident about is if he'll be doing it alone.

And thanks laurence. After reading Arnie's post I decided to do that. He just reached 11. Now I fear he's losing his mind.
Maybe not, though.
I think I had imaginary friends at that age and look how I turned out...er...never mind.

Laurence is right, but be careful, as playing at 2X speed means the food is consumed faster. You might find it difficult for Buru to survive on just mushrooms unless you get lucky and find a couple of red ones. Put the game back on half speed if the food level is getting dangerously low, and in any case do it once Buru turns 14.

LoL Wonka! Poor Buru, he must be REALLY lonely!!

So Buru finally learned how to fish and farm.
He's surprised the vegetables are so good since he's seen them sitting there for 7 years before harvesting.

He's 18 years old now and is very lonely but he feels he will meet someone real soon so he figured he'd change his clothes to freshen up abit.

Looking snazzy Buru.

Now just stay young forever or until a great island event comes along and all is not lost.

Well Buru just had a visitor.
Or he thought he did.
Now he wonders if the village is haunted.

Wow, Wonka! Poor Buru! I really hope he gets saved soon!

Poor buru, if I were him, I'd commit suicide, I hope you have a "Hard Tribe" type story.

Yea! We just pulled one of our tribes, that was dive-bombing, out of despair! Somehow, after playing awhile, we ended up with a tribe of seven males...uhg, I got concerned but held out for an island event. As the youngest male was reaching his 50's I got a little worried when a barrel-of-babies showed up! With...you got it..one little girl. By the time she reached 18 I had two very slow moving elders but they somehow managed to begin repopulating the island. Poor girl's been through alot but she had seven little ones before she was the only adult left. Now we're just waiting to get her some help with chores!

Is there a Mother's Day Island Event? If not I think there ought to be after this experiance! haha. You could have a little hammock and the kids could bring flowers and fruit! haha.

Whew! I'm just glad it worked out. Hang in there!

Well Buru is now 24 and has mastered fishing and harvesting.
Good thing, since he just rang the gong and now all is food is gone.
