One Hour One Life Forums

Hard to find a surrogate since it was just me and the racist Eve mom. I've had incredible surrogate aunts, uncles, siblings, and cousins. Those folks are great and they are the reason why I enjoyed this game so much. I think what frustrates me is the sheer pointlessness of this sort of destructive behavior. I'll be honest, I don't think I'll ever get used to the craziness of random murders, snowballs, or sabotage so I've decided to stick to playing on private servers for now.

I know that but it was late and I didn't feel like staying up for another hour just to curse some asshole. Also, the fact I'd have to live another life just to curse someone is ridiculous. There needs to be a better way to do it immediately and not be dependent on how many letters you can string together. It feels a bit punishing to the victim to have to wait to for another life just to sort of "report" a griefer by cursing them.

It so weird to see this story because I was your great great great great great great great great grandmother (http://lineage.onehouronelife.com/serve … id=3222214).

When I was born, my mom informed me I was the only hope left for the village as I was the last daughter born to an aging mother. She pleaded that I stay safe and continue the lineage and I respected her wishes. I believe she lived long enough to see my first and only daughter, Zarya Groot, born into the family.

I gave Zarya the same speech my mother gave me and told her to stay safe to continue the lineage. She, unfortunately, died by a boar at a fairly young age. However, she'd given birth to a daughter before she passed. Shay Groot broke the family curse of a single female per generation surviving and prospered.

It was touch and go at first, however, the only reason we made it was because of my brother Renaldo Groot, the Dread Rabbit Exterminator and my very capable but also a bit of a punk son named Osiris Groot.

I remember when I was younger chasing Renaldo around the whole village trying to tell him I found enough rabbit fur to make him a backpack. I couldn't make it myself and give it to him because he took the only needle and thread in the village. When I was finally able to get his attention and lead him to the 4 1/2 rabbit furs, he quickly made himself a pack and then ran off without a word. For a long time, I thought he had passed. That was until he came back after a rabbit genocide. By that I mean he slaughtered enough rabbits to clothe and backpack 2 generations.

Renaldo never spoke his entire life, however, what he didn't say in words he expressed through his actions. He was definitely one of the most unique siblings I've ever had.

Osiris Groot... He was also one of the most unique of all the children I ever had as well. Couldn't tell at first but the moment he was able to string more than 4 words together, the sass came out. He worked hard on getting the town up and running. Swear that kid was in 8 different places doing 16 different things. When I handed him the apron with the only knife in the village because I trusted him to do the right thing, his response was "Thanks, babe." I knew I made the right decision because when I checked the family tree after reading this post I saw that we made it to generation 17.

I'm glad they were able to continue the lineage so you could have this awesome adventure as my great great great great great great great great grandson.

I just wanted to add my two cents here as someone who has recently gotten into this game... Not feeding a baby because they admit they are new and would be a detriment to the village they were born into kinda goes against the essence of this game.

I guess what I'm trying to say is I don't think I would have continued to play if I was neglected or left to die my first few lives because I admitted I was a noob. You already feel pretty useless and helpless your first 5 lives and then not being able to play at all because no one wants you on their team would leave a terrible impression on a game that I think is clever and very engaging.

The learning curve is pretty steep so any guidance is very helpful to a newcomer. I understand that it can be annoying to literally babysit a newbie, however, that's probably one of the only ways we will retain a big enough player base. It's because I had amazing in-game moms, grandmas, uncles, brothers, sisters, aunts, and cousins that I got this far and am now able to teach the incoming new players how to maintain a farm, create compost, tend to the sheep, make pies, etc. Newbies will never get better unless the veterans invest their time in them. I promise we do eventually figure our shit out and become productive members of society.
