And I thought the people who kept hunting you down were immature. You take the cake and smear it all over the walls.

What responsible tribe would send their women into combat? What responsible tribe wouldn't protect or hide their women from invaders?

I'd suggest trade language, but I don't know how that would even be implemented 'cause then there'd have to be your language, their language, and a third language used for trading which would defeat the point of the language barrier.

I only find it annoying when I'm standing there with a bowl of berries and carrot, waiting for an unshorn sheep to pop out a lamb, and some ninny comes along and shears it before I can say anything. You'd think context clues would make them stop and think "huh, this person is waiting for something. Maybe I should ask!"

Two separate sheep pens--one for bakers and one for clothiers--could probably help. Maybe? So long as they keep to their respective pens and don't step on each other's toes.

People who break every single game-related thing down into maths break the immersion of the game, too.

The way I see it, if you don't like how he's running things/his servers you can create your own or find a private server being run in a way that you do like.

I don't see how it's so unfair? Playing vanilla vs. playing with a mod is a choice and you've chosen to stick with vanilla. The mods are available to anyone who wants to download them. They're easy to install and it currently isn't against any rules to use them.

If the person
- finds their own iron (unless the town has a surplus and won't be hurt by the loss of 3-4 ingots)
- forges their own tools (or asks someone to forge the tools for them)
- brings clay back to town so the plates they take can easily be replaced

or is living in a town where the loss of a few things won't be noticed, I don't see the problem. People migrating away and making separate towns if x town is too crowded or otherwise falling apart can extend the life of a lineage.

Or to use the rhetoric I see a lot, you can't force people to play where they don't want to. If they wanna bounce and make their own place away from yours, they can. No one owns those tools unless they're behind a gate or in someone's hands.

Das one cute ginger.

Salad Fingers girl is my waifu.

The line you seem to be having apparently major issues with is: The ever-general they cry at every little inconvenience, it's no wonder people grief--it's easy as pie to get a rise out of people around here over something as simple as playing "inefficiently."

The key words therein are: it's no wonder people grief

Understanding why people do the things they do in response to the environment they play in is not the same as threatening to hop the bandwagon, kiddo. My personal opinion is that /die babies are cowards. Your personal opinion is that /die babies are a-okay. I find you boring. You find me childish. We are at an impassé. Neato. Don't have an aneurysm.

Honestly: same. I thought the whole point of the experience this game provides was making do with what you're born into and hopefully making it better for the next generation. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Additionally, the notable playerbase comes off as a bunch of stuffy min-maxers who get upsetti every content update (that I've seen so far--the first update I was around for was the planes) and complain how "this is an rp item" or "this is too complicated for noobs." Quite a few also moan about people who like to immerse themselves in the game via roleplay. The ever-general they cry at every little inconvenience, it's no wonder people grief--it's easy as pie to get a rise out of people around here over something as simple as playing "inefficiently."

It really does come down to different playstyles. I would have loved to be born into those circumstances--I love cults, but it also could have been fun to grow up a cultist whose life's goal is to dismantle said cult, or foil them, or die trying. The Nosaj is part of the game. Some people are going to make it their goal to bring about the apocalypse. If not roleplay, then that would be their "points." How many endstones can they make? How far can they get before someone comes along and dismantles the tower? If they succeed at pulling off the apocalypse, they win. It's probably the only part of the game with a "win"-like result.

Admittedly, I play a lot of RPGs and the occasional MUD and approach this game as such: every life is its own story, even the lives where I leave town to find iron. In one life, my mother said we needed some so I made that my quest. I ultimately returned with a pitiful one iron and raised two children while out in the wild. At the end of that life someone else found iron, and I spent my last moments doing shrooms with one of my daughters and a grandkid. People who worry about points and statistics are akin to those people who play Pokemon competitively and count their IVs and EVs and worry about viability. Their style of fun is my style of boring, and probably vice-versa because I like pampering my digital monsters and get attached to them. It will be fun to see how the roleplayer versus point collector thing develops.

Though roleplayers who stand around and do absolutely nothing are annoying. It is possible to contribute and roleplay.

To address the thread's title though, the only thing that would "make me really care" is if my babies didn't /die all the time. It's really hard to care about the life of your children if you've become numb to seeing them die for no reason of your own. Eventually it becomes difficult to get attached to a kid--you don't know if it's going to /die as soon as you pick it up and, even if it looks like it's going to stay, sometimes they /die after a minute or two, or if you take too long trying to think of a good name to name it. Why bother being hopeful if there's a rather large chance of it being another let down? Why bother caring and getting attached if the kid could just perform their own late-term abortion at any second?
