One Hour One Life Forums

I just came back after a couple weeks, and oh my gosh so much has changed. 
I /VERY/ rarely was abandoned as a child, except at the influx of new players when I started due to a couple of YouTube channels.  A bit after that it was VERY rare.  I assume child abandonment will slow down again once the new players have learned the game more thoroughly.  After all, the more you are acclimated, the more you realize how important surviving kiddos are.  Some boys included, cuz they can REALLY get things done.

If a griefer you kill is lying about you before death in a very crowded area, it is definitely possible and likely you could be sent there while having good intentions.  Even if you are constantly yelling "This brat just killed someone."  It is bound to happen sooner or later if you have any interest in saving a town, which I am convinced is a big reason towns die off from griefers...

People don't want to go to donkey since the griefer and his/her identity isn't yet obviously a major problem that the town is extremely aware and vigilant of, but it is instead in the very beginning stages.  Griefers tend to kill several people before anyone cares.. "Oh ANOTHER person died, whodunnit? Oh there is this dude with a bloody knife calmly speaking and the suspicious lady who let all her babies die while sharpening blanks is yelling 'killer,' so it must be the guy!"
Honestly though, if you're dedicated to the game enough, you'll just tell people to think before cursing and get more than a little miffed.  People don't think in this game really, but hey nobody really thinks through their actions in real life either, albeit usually more minor than murder of course.  

I do agree that donkey shouldn't be fun though.  I would rather sit there innocent and miserable than let griefers rule the whole game.

And people fed me by the way.  I thank y'all.  Sweethearts.  I knew I was a goner but all I had to lose was my life and I was so sick of that girl who thought she could just take something I was non biased in reserving for any trustworthy people I saw.  I was in that town two hours before this so I had no problem trying to guard things from people like her but she literally stalked me while i ate berries for less that three seconds.  Then ran up.  Was being very careful like usual but hey that's what kinda troll can just pop up without warning.  Even if you are on guard nothing is safe out of your arms.

PS you are MUCH more likely to get killed as a female.  Griefers tend to want to either make living practically impossible or destroy the family line altogether.  If you are a fertile female stay FAR away from people holding bows and arrows running around near you.  People with backpacked/aproned knives are usually ok but if you don't trust them stay a space away from them at least and keep your children away too.  One time I saw a lady with a knife coming towards me trying to stab me but I moved quickly, then later she was coming towards my young toddler daughter, and she knifed the air RIGHT after I saw her coming and sweeped my daughter into my arms.  My daughter didn't even notice someone was about to stab her and I had JUST saved her from death.  I took her far from that beeyotch. XP

Believe me if you are capable of making pie already you are doing VERY well for three days.  Chances are your townsfolk were more "experienced" and you were showing them up.  XD  Rule of thumb, keep the farms alive, because without them you can do NOTHING.  Literally.  Compost?  No.  Feeding sheep?  No.  Getting sheep?  No.  Making advanced food?  No.  Without farms a civilization will die.  Esp since the kiddos and elders are encouraged to feast on berries.  No berries, no kiddos.  No kiddos, no new gens.  If you are an adult female make your kids take on the farms until older because you have more bars so you have time to do more advanced things, while the kiddos are relying on farm food anyways so might as well contribute.  It's a very easy formula once you think, but sadly you seem a MUCH faster learner than most. XD

Beautiful story!  Welcome to the game.  You will have many more stories.  This game is amazing and heartbreaking at the same time.
And awesome thing is, some of your family will see these posts sometimes   It's really fun and interesting for them to explain their thought processes in decisions/complain about the griefers that killed your line/ compliment each other on heroic acts.  Some playthroughs are super rewarding but of course others leave you thinking "wtf was that"? ... It sounds like yours was a bit of both!

I agree.  But hey, can't argue with longer yum bonuses

Btw Rush Tarr killed my sis and wrecked our line yesterday.  Right after she bragged about starting a sister town and I said we needed more females first to populate it...?  Stabbed me shortly after, right after I asked who tf killed my sis.  She thought she was so cool and I made sure to let her know how amazing she was for killing a total of two distracted players.

Not sure if you remember but I said "Hi Tarr" to you at one point.

Male lives and being an elderly lady are the best.  It's so fulfilling if you save the town from griefers and you don't have to try to kill them while you're popping out children. 
I had one life where I was a girl... my mom put me down to stab someone.  She told a fertile lady to save me, but that lady then restabbed the girl who just got saved.  So three fertile women around me who all can't feed me because two are on cooldown and one is dying.  And I'm like thanks guys, I'm dead now.

Also yes Jason leave a legacy just like we all try to in-game... leave something for the next gen

I wouldn't mind having to wait a minute to start a new life, since I usually take mini breaks between my lives anyway.  I don't suicide.  I mean unless a mom is seriously insulting me or obviously resenting me, complaining about my existence when I am born, yet still not abandoning me for some reason, I live my life the best I can.  Hell one time someone even was going to abandon me cuz I was a boy, then when I didn't run off but stood still she came back and said sorry baby lets try this.  When I grew up she told me she loved me and she was so sorry for having doubts at first.  I really felt no bitterness about it at all and was happy she decided I was worth it.  I wanted to prove myself to her, and I think I made her proud although her life was cut short.  If everyone had to wait like a minute between lives it wouldn't annoy players too much but it would keep the SAME constant suiciders from continuously being born and doing the same thing if a troll (running around you til one bar, saying f then dying a millisecond after right in front of the kiln).

Only life I have found worthwhile at all in tutorial town, was one where I worked quickly to break out but before I could, a girl came and chopped the pesky tree in my way.  I was very surprised, I mean how many did she have to go past to find someone?? Wow.  She told me shes been trying for many gens to reach a faraway city with a bell tower that was too far for us to even hope for in this life.  We dragged carts around, broke into a VERY elderly woman's tutorial, who then seemed to see no point in moving forward.  Chatted to her a brief time before she died, then went on and scavenged while bringing worthwhile tools and materials in our carts.  Not too much food around, and unlucky me got a glitchy bush that I couldnt harvest from and I knew I would starve since I was elderly.  Said farewell to my companion who was gray but not super old yet, and died.  She was super nice.  I hope she found the town she was looking for.   Can be hard to survive outside of those walls, but meeting other players in an area you normally wouldn't was a fun experience.

Oh no, I didn't notice that!  By the time I looked again though, there were six sheep, so good on ya!
Also I was the old dude (Jonny Kato) shouting "Nooooooo" as you died. XD
The girl with the crown took the bow, not sure what happened with that.
