One Hour One Life Forums

No - that's not what the thread is for. Which would be easy to notice if you had:
a - bothered to actually pay attention to the thread
b - bothered to check the thread author's post history

The thread is for reporting means by which you have SUFFERED griefing - and tracking how griefers act as a means of possibly learning to deal with it or propose sensible game changes.

You might think this interpretation is subjective if you didn't read the first line of the first post in the thread - or any other lines in any other posts in this thread, for that matter - it goes like this:
"Please submit examples of people who have griefed you, your town, or others."
Yes, very subtle - very nuanced. I can clearly see how you've completely mistaken the point of the thread.

Instead you've once again approached this matter with your position already formed and refusing to absorb any external information or change your stance. You glanced at the thread, decided it was a "troll school" of some sort (which it wasn't).

...and then out of sheer ignorance you've turned the thread into the "troll school" you yourself supposedly got outraged at.
Congratulations, what an amazing job - most impressive.

Saying that it's a terrible idea is not enough - you need something to replace it with.

I've succeeded in replacing 1-carroters with secret-gardeners in most of my village rebirths.
I'll continue to spread secret gardens as the better solution as its built not around everyone knowing it & following correctly, but on the basis that every so often people, or at least a few, just won't.

I'd like to add that I don't think you can shoot people from offscreen - and that you can actually dodge arrows.
I've had a PvP fight knife vs arrow - the attacking player shot me and the arrow landed on the ground, giving me the upper hand.

So if you are not standing still, you can easily make them waste the arrow and just pick it up yourself, even.

Always be wary when near people with loaded bows or knives in hand - there's a reason you need to manually load the bow every time you drop it.

Looks like it's only a few people doing it at this point - not really worthy of a full-time position.
I personally think that all steel-age villages should have a knife either way - but a single bow can also fix it.

But it would be better if we were able to knock them out and tie them up or something, so they don't just respawn somewhere.
They'd have to sit there and watch their character grow old tied up, while the villagers feed them every so often.

RESERVED FOR SPECIFIC CULTURES(like the MILKWEED people or the WOODROAD CITIES)

THE VILLAGE PEOPLE (what can I do in a village?)

(this is so you can kinda tell what needs to be done - you don't need to stick to a single role)

SIMPLE ROLES (the 'I don't know what to do' roles)

• THE GATHERER - requires: a basket
  Basic beginner role, if you don't know what to do, grab a basket and get berries and resources from a few screens away.

• THE BASKET BASTARD - requires: a sharp stone
  Villages always need more baskets, go off on your own, don't die, bring back baskets.

• THE ORGANIZER - requires: knowing what goes where
  If the village has enough basket, you can spend years moving things to the right place.

• THE PRIMITIVE RUNNER - requires: a basket or a dry clay bowl
  The primitive runner runs to nearby biomes and brings back specific things - water, fertile soil & seeds.

• THE 'OH I KNOW HOW TO MAKE SOME STUFF' - requires: game knowledge
  This role is responsible for making the basic tools for fire, hunting and pottery.

BASIC ROLES (once you've actually started a settlement - most roles are split)

• THE FARMER WATERGETTER - requires: tilled rows, seeds & water pouches
  Farmers are responsible for taking care of the farm, mostly maintaining seeding rows or SECRET GARDENS.
  A developing settlement needs carrots & milkweed.

• THE HUNTER CLOTHIER - requires: hunting tools and backpack, if possible
  The core aggregators of value during this phase - they run off and bring back materials for clothing and skewers.
  Hunters should also be the ones crafting clothes at the start of a settlement.

• THE FIREMAKER SKEWERPERSON - requires: firemaking tools
  The firemaker is responsible for maintaining a fire for raising children, cooking skewers & base organization.

• THE GATHERING CRAFTSPERSON - requires: lots of knowledge and hopefully a backpack
  The craftsperson is responsible for managing & collecting the necessary resources for advancing the settlement.
  This is a more generalized, split role, until you reach blacksmithing.

SETTLEMENT ROLES (for when you spawn somewhere and go 'oh this place looks neat')

• THE ACTUAL FARMER - requires: loads of baskets, all types of seeds, farming knowledge
  In a larger base, the farmer is responsible for managing all the farm-based resources and seeds & commanding watergetters.

• THE DEDICATED WATERGETTER requires: at least 3 pouches & basket, hopefully 7 and a backpack
  The dedicated watergetter is responsible for keeping water pouches always full & making sure that no ponds are dry.

• THE BLACKSMITH - requires: a forge, game knowledge
  The blacksmith is responsible for managing the production of steel tools.
  The smith will probably be the one to manage the kiln to make charcoal & collect smithing materials.

• THE SCAVENGER - requires: basket & backpack, survival knowledge
  The scavenger is a specialized gatherer, going on long journeys looking for specific things that accelerate development.
  The scavenger communicates with the village & assists all other roles.

• THE KNOWLEDGEABLE MOM - requires: lots of game knowledge, a slow fire
  The mom is the village's baby-raiser - teaching players who have just spawned as they grow.
  As the village should not be constantly spawning babies, it's advised that the mom also does basic cooking & base organizing.
  

• THE BUILDER - requires: basket & backpack, one sharp stone per wetland
  The builder will plan & build the village's more permanent structures.
  To accomplish this, they must walk into the wetlands, collect 7 clay, combine 7 adobe on the spot and return to town.

VILLAGE ROLES (for when you spawn somewhere and go 'holy shit look at this stuff')

(not done, please suggest & describe roles from steel age+ for villages making carts and roads)

A good rule of thumb is to always try to leave the village without a basket and come back with one.
If you leave with a basket, try to craft another basket while you're out and then just grab it later.

This really helps you organize the base.

I have stabbed a lot of babbies, and a few adult players - but I really think it's kind of necessary at some point.
I've had people raising babbies left and right when the carrot farms are empty and dry, and the berry bushes within a 2 minute radius no longer carry a single berry.

Some players feel like it's mean to just kill them or let them die... but you are actually dooming and ruining everyone's work by raising too many goddamn kids.

Haven't really met full-on troll players, though - the bow and arrow are easy enough to craft that you might be able to kill them easily.

It's actually not hard to find 8 milkweed in virgin lands - the problem is that most people are not settling in fresh lands and instead continue to try to explore the same lands as before after killing them.

Did you steal my cart?
