Your village will continue to exist after the Event ends. You can continue to
build supplies and stockpile (they become the same thing) and can cash them in
to request rewards. These rewards depend on your villagers' total skill in the
important category.
For example, you could ask your trading villagers for money. The higher their
trading skill, the higher coins you get. Or, you could ask your lumberjacking
villagers to get logs or tree fruit. The higher their skill, the better
materials/fruit you can choose from.
Conscription will slow to a crawl when the Event ends, so you should use this
week to determine which of the 8 skills you want the most. At reboot, a new
sign should appear on the "path" to your village which should help you make
that decision.
