Confession... I feel really guilty about using the yucky stews to kill off a couple of characters. I didn't even let anyone heal them and I kept feeding them the green slime-gaseous stew until they died... but I had to! There were no more kids to slave w/o pay getting collectables and mushrooms - and the women were all about to go through menopause and wouldn't be able to have more kids - thus the end of a whole entire tribe! I had to! I also admit to total addiction, late nights, postponed work, and virtual carpal tunnel (not to mention the worry if my virtual kids didn't come home at night).
