how I ensured the survival of my village by doing nothing!

I started my life like any kid, helping on the the berry farm doing the same thing over and over again, I was a female at the time. I saw my yum meter and had an Idea.

So before on one of Jason's posts I commented how we should have a birth mother, because you can stimulate, the amount of babies you have. So started to scavenge, I ate corn, strange pies, I even was able to eat green beans.

This is actually pretty funny because once I ate one of the beans, I wouldn't get any extra yum points, so I forced feed my entire village green beans! I know you shouldn't do that but I bet no one had green beans in my village. after feasting I went to a perfect spot where I stood and stood, some times I would eat a new food and increase my yum meter.

I did this for the rest of my baby giving life. I got my yum meter at *11 (could have gotten it to 13 if I didn't forget, misplace my mutton, and didn't forget the popcorn). I also had very long talks with my mother, who was very supportive of my choice. I might have even increased my yum meter to be higher if I had her helping me.

I can tell you standing in one place at perfect temperature on a diet is hard! I don't know how many times I was tempted to flee. In the end I gave birth to 6 beautiful children, and to put this small number into scope I gave birth to 6 kids, in the down time! where basically no one is playing.

4 of my 6 were girls, the rest boys two of the girls how ever committed suiside, but still 4 alive children in down time is impressive.

So by doing nothing I created the only two soon to fertile girls in the village. I was very proud!

I fought for the best for my children, once their was a women that died in front of me and of course I was going to give the cloths to my baby, but another mom saw the clothes and charged for the body I arrived first, when I clicked on the body I got as snow ball, I chucked it at the other mom to stop her, next click a another snow ball landed square in her face. third click a coat, then the mom recovered and stole the backpack!

this was a mom war!

all in all I think being a birth mom is a good tactic, I would change my strategy a little bit though.
I would have asked for help, form people to make me new foods to keep my yum meter high and prepare more for being a birth mother before. I can see how people will think you are being wast full and try to kill you, so you will need the approval of at least on other person. A village should have about 2-3 birth mothers that have a high yum meter and will take care of other kids as well!

for my finally note "I will protect it through blood and bone" I said
this is how by doing nothing and, eating food I ensured the survival of my town!

i generally play during low hours n find that having around 6 yum bonuses while running around naked in desert gives about the same amount of kids. u coulda prolly watered some plants while u were at it but whatever works for u i guess

if i see some good spot i will stay, the few exceptions are when people misplace ovens, kilns and farms, the people "in charge", aka adults who survived previous famines, are dumb
so i think starting to fix those things keeps some experienced players in a camp

if someone quits on you cause you point out mistakes or do things they don't understand, like digging bushes out for a road, its not a loss

also a lot of kids need attention and roleplay, purpose
just by taking a kid and telling her to get the meat out of pen, i made sure she stayed and felt valuable member of society
happens time to time that i don't feel like contributing to a dumb setup and i die intentionally at 6-7
i tried to snowball some noob who planted berries right next to ponds instead of 5 tiles away on a desert edge, i starved cause the basket full of ice was too cold, i didn't mind, they can ruin their nice spot and never make tools, you always pay for mistakes sooner or later

Rather than saying you are doing nothing, I would teach the children and help organize what people are doing. Which you can basically do at the same time as sitting around. If you do that, then it is a very useful thing to be doing. Also if you are just sitting there trying to have lots of children, might as well help raise other children as well.
