I feel like keeping the last name is important, but piggybacking off your idea a middle name would be really cool.

I mean Eves in "false civs" can't really just pop out a new Eve I'm pretty sure, and if they did, I don't image they would get rid of them.

I feel like it would be really cool if there was a live chat after death with everyone who had been in that generation in it. Like you die and you could talk to all your ancestors and eventually your own children.

Honestly, it would help a little bit with babies moving away from mother upon birth and getting killed accidentally.

Yeah, I agree with you on this one Rebel. In my last life, we used a lot of baskets to do clear up the clutter and it worked to an extent, but some villages aren't fortunate enough to be around enough reeds. Although do you recommend them being permanent structures almost like a silo or moveable like stew pots already are?

One thing I really love about this game is how quickly you get nostalgic once you're in the final stages of life. I've found the majority of my most memorable moments were when I was in my mid to late '50s barely hanging on.

In fact, I just finished a full life a few minutes before writing this. In that life, I was birthed to a booming but not yet bustling village by a young mother name emerald. I went through life living and making compost and pies for my people, in fact, that's most of what I did. I'd been fine-tuning my baking and farming skills and was proud of my work. Me and two other guys fed the entire town. we filled at least 2 boxes with baskets of pies(that's an achievement for me) in the span of 10 minutes and did it again later. Although after a while I was constantly hungry and tired, my body withering before me.

I was finished doing the work for my village and my frail old body to useless to bake any more mutton pies or make any more compost. I took one last walk down memory lane throughout the village and reflected on everything I made, everything I did for the furtherment of our society. Then in my last 3 minutes of life, I sat with the other elders thanking them for their sacrifices and old work and it amazed me just how connected I was to this village in less than one hour.

It was sad to realize that it took almost all my life to put away the hustle and bustle of survival and village life to think about the friends I made and thank all of them, thank my mom and caregivers too. It's funny how at the very fringes of life you learn that this game isn't all about survival, crafting, and exploring it's about building communities, families, and relationships, in fact, it's an important life lesson. I've never been able to connect with so many players in such a way in any other game before. This is what makes this game so unique and special to me.
