Lets Update to build Train to connect towns !
I am doing that, if you want to join !
So, guys, I see.
But I do not want to be assimilated as a griefer. I killed people and paid my time for it.
This game does have a system to kill people and it is an important part of the game mechanics (balanced gameplay, storytelling, etc ). I just point out a problem in the way curses score are right now affecting players. Apparently, I am not alone. This way is almost equal to a life ban for something that the creator himself endorses (per twitter or per the weekly emails): What happens when two cities go to war and one side is cursing the other?
Twisted, about being manipulative, lying and so on, I actually had on the other hand the courage to point out a problem and being cruelly Honest about my situation. If it doesn't work in your world and how you see it I am quite ok with that. But I would like to remember some of your video where you went on a rage and killed off people because you didn't like them. So you are the same as me, deal with it.
You do and enjoy a privileged position in this game as Youtuber/Streamer, that I myself experience when I was luckily playing with you. I made a beautiful road in the town where you were born, little village and I saw how people are playing/watching your stream and helping you along the way. You made a compliment about it, then ended your stream. Other player did get jealous of it and destroy it for this reason. Life is unfair sometimes. My point is you got power and with power comes responsibility please use it carefully.
On another point, how do you deal with Tarr having sixty curses, is he also manipulative and lying to you?
Then about the fact of buying again the game... I did put already 20 euros in the game based on the trailer, and the possibility to make of some long-living society. That is just not the case, so far actually that it is close to false advertising. Don't get me wrong I enjoy this game really much and want to support the creator but I am not paying again for an unfair situation and with no possibility to get my case actually reviewed...
So I paid already in money and my real lifetime for this game, I would like to play.
I would have said the same, only way to know for sure is by going to Donkey Town.
Interesting Graph. If I understand it well, there is one player with almost 250 curses and more than 2000 hours in Donkey Town?
Thanks, Tarr for your constructive answer.
I don't exactly know how the curse system works now, I stop last January after one year of full playing the game. And i still got 4 hours on the count down, for last protecting my queen.
So I went on different phases as I discovered different faces of the game.
I got my curses, by killing which is bad, and spend my time on it in Donkey Town. That was back in April 2018. It was even before the Total Curse Score was even relevant to you DK Time. Since then I stopped killing, even though I had to defend myself and protect Mushroom town, to which Jason even answer: It is a good thing that people want to destroy your town, now you get to protect it.
Now more than I year later I am pointing out something that I think is a problem in the curse system, not for people to feel bad for me. Jason thinks murder is part of making this game work. And it is fair that is also punished, but as Twisted is not a bad guy for killing people I don't think I am bad enough (arguably more good than bad actually) to be sort of banned from this game.
My only reason to play right now is to experience again those crazy cults from this game and see again if it is possible to make a long-lasting community.
As stated i would love to be back in game, and do not have to spend again 5 hours of my life in DK
Hoo wow Twisted what a Hard and Arsh Answer. I didn't expect that from such a member of this community.
To answer the questions, yes I have been cursed a lot in the past. It Happened way back April last years when I saw that two cities couldn't be connected, even though the collective' effort from a lot of players myself included other more than 48 hours.
I was disappointed considering what the trailer was promising, and from the little success, the project had (even it was one of the biggest city at the time). The two towns died off pretty soon after we stop helping.
So instead of always building, I build and as a ninja murdered some people, stop being always peaceful but then tried to implicate myself in more wars event. And I paid my price for it, I have been in Donkey town and never complained about it.
Then I just played on a private server with discord community, and men we were building. I learn a lot about the mechanics of the game. So I returned to normal servers in order to bring back what I learned. The normal server is super crazy, a lot of opinion little ways to communicate. I usually have no curses at all when I play, maybe one is something is wrong, but in some few cases, and just so happened that the last three one is the one I talked about.
I have seen your stream and even being with you as you stream, and even have been complimented from you for my action. So I have been killing people, but never try to damage buildings, wasted crops, hide some parts of cars, and that's the sort of action I would definitely call shitty or griefing. As it is ruining the experience, without any direct way to control it.
My past behaviour is as I described it, creative and helpful, with some bad side a long time ago. A lot of members who played directly enjoyed it
Twisted, Thanks for taking the time.
I don't know what you intend to say with playing the game ' normally'. I play as allowed to. My dream in this game is to be part of two everlasting community.
I try to follow the story of my life in the game, be helpful and explore new solutions to make the community flourish. But as it can so happen in one hour one life, you kill someone to protect your queen, griefers curses you back. That means an entire section of the game stories is just block for me forever. Sure I can limit myself to farming and nobody will curse me. And I do it sometimes. That just would be sad. I do not think this game is only about that.
Last I played I had in mind that Trains could revolutionise the city and how people play. Things are, it is hard to make a train in one life, so I made a lot of blades to build the tracks. I tried my best to explain that it was tracks intended only, but as people prefer to be safe than sorry, they curse me for good measures. Surely I did let it slide and abandoned the project. But I found myself in Donkey Town.
Yes, it doesn't happen that Often. But those are a situation where the punishment is way too high compers to what I did. We are talking about 5 real life hours to be able just to be back. Then no guaranty for how long I could be able to stay.
I am quite positive to not be the person with the most curses in the game. But pretty high up for sure. Maybe good long hours without curses could have an effect on the total curses score, in order to help people recover for high curses score. After a long time without curses, you find yourself with more margin again and be able to be part of some great stories once again.
Hello, I opened a trade shop for explorers down a road.
The price take one item give one item.
It worked really well !! It was a lot of fun.
But it as unforeseen effects. The town where the explorer came from had a lot of trouble keeping up with the people working less going to the shop.
A lot of explorers died not planning well their trip to the shop and starved. Some people gave their corpses or started a cult
But still huge fun
Hy everyone,
Since February I stopped playing this game... I was kinda forced to!
The game system made it impossible to play for me... And how man I love this game.
Thanks, Jason for the work you are putting into it! I hope your vision come one day to life!
But I can't play it.
Only three curses from a player and I am going directly to Donkey Town. This is a way to low for any interaction with other players in the game. As all is based on building trust with others, with only three curses as safeguard it doesn't let any room for misinterpretation. Actually, it blocked all parts of the game, going to close to weapons, making blades (even for a train), grabbing clothes, or just not being around in the village to often can lead to a five hours ban of the servers. Now if I am rescuing my queen, or protecting my village from griefers it is the same. If they are mon than three in a short time, I will be spending 5 hours waiting close to a banana tree.
Now, Jason, you are talking about wars between villages, murdering as a state and the importance of fight as a game mechanic and why those are not often happening. I would love to be part of that, but if you sanction so much it just doesn't make any sense to do it as a player.
I guess with three curses, it means I am one player having a lot of total curses. You could argue I was griefing. I would explain:
I put a lot of creativity in this game, as it is one of the only were the players are the story. I try to connect cities, make them flourish, I build lots of road system to improve them, trying to improve it each. and every time so any players find food quickly and do not starve, workers find their tools easily and are close to there working area, improve transportation so running around are less needed. But even them I created trade shop for explorers to switch gears as then needed it, played myself as an alien making the first contact to the human race through this game asking if Earth is ready, being part of huge cities on private servers like Mushroom Town, and a few others.
But also I killed some people, stress tested some towns killing a few key players, being part of some wars,...
So I have being cursed, by any type of players, a lot. My total curses score should be pretty high, and that makes the number of cursed needed to send me to Donkey Town pretty low. For that, I made my fair share of hours in Donkey Town, Surely other thirty hours.
Now I found myself the last three times only because of three curses. Building a train station and therefore making blades, it just so happened that griefers had been raging this town before I popped in. protecting my cities other griefers, and therefore being cursed by the griefers army.
As I am kinda blocked there, I would not like to spend five hours again. But I would love to play this game, Lots of improvement have been made. Thanks, Jason. Is it possible to do something, so I should not fear to play?
Thanks for taking the time and Hopefully seeing you soon!
