I've implemented a new strategy: Kill all but 1. Give the 1 the ration for the next 25 days.
Edit: To prevent guilt don't even look at them. Just press the gun button.
Edit: Make sure they don't die though.
I shot everyone except for a farmer,(P.S. All young people, but no children.) a merchant, a worker, and a soilderl.
They can also die of illness... don't keep people who are older alive, they get illness quickly, and the children should die too.
You know, now that I read this, it sounds really messed up '-w-
