Soosieloo, I enjoyed this article, and your "visiting" blog, as well. I like your village, and it makes sense, but still has a sense of fun.

I hope that you will visit me. Please ignore the castle/habitat in the middle--they really don't quite fit with my village, but I decided to toss them out for a time. The rest of the village probably appears to most as the random imaginings of a not-quite-sane person, but if you look carefully, you might see the patterns in it. You'll see that I adore plants, and abhor the industrial. I am, thankfully, gradually weaning my villagers from the toils of the land and am teaching them how to save their coins in order to best use their market. However, some elements are part of my landscape--my forests and farms--and I won't part with them.

I realize that the fastest way to go will be to follow the scooters, but at this point, I just cannot bring myself to plan for them. I manage to move forward and upward with what I have at this point. I actually enjoy harvesting coins. Something about walking among the people and gathering their offerings ... and caring for my dinosaurs.

I love this game, and look forward to a long time of enjoying it. My husband and I are completely different (bellmark), while our daughter has fallen somewhere in the middle (tink8183). We have lively discussions about the directions our villages are taking, and there is "friendly" competition between us, as well.

Thanks for sharing your thoughts and your village.
