One Hour One Life Forums

More context: In a 4th gen camp I say from the start that my life goal is to remove the middle row from a 7x6 patch of berries. There is a well on this row so it would be perfect to make more work space. 

I empty the bushes and feed sheep and make compost. I make a steak, I get the water ready. I have a shovel but I just can't click fast enough to remove a single bush. My daughter starts to help me when my nephew says "no don't remove them" and takes my steak and hides it. he can't understand why I want to do it. He proceeds to put soil on the bushes I want to remove undoing all of my work. Now I have to wait a long time for the bushes to get berries and pick them all again.

I guess he thought I was up to no good but I felt like crying because I was so close to getting it done. Other people in the village agreed with my project or didn't care. One jerk undid it all.

How do any of you remove a bush on your own? Why is it so darn hard? I did manage to remove just one after watering them all again and picking them clean with the help of another more sensible nephew.

IDK if someone is trying to do something and being open about it's probably not greifing. You don't have to help but it's a dick move to undo someone else's work.

logically people make camps, the town should be the place for the veterans, and noobs should move out and make their own outpost
that will never happen cause noobs are noobs for the sole reason of not knowing that what they do is bad, annoys others
if they would know it and they would want to learn they wouldn't be noobs in the first place

I was able to domesticate a horse and ride it.   Died before I could add the cart, though, so I couldn't test if it was possible to do it without putting the horse back on the fence and getting it stuck.

Lineage is one of the really cool parts of the game. Very rare that I think about any game that I play after I play it. Not so with OHOL. I don't understand why it shows me the times I was a high-generation descendent though. That is kind of interesting, but what I really want to know is of my characters which one had the most generations following her.

Perhaps this is just a hard query to run?  but, to me it's always exciting when the family tree keeps going for many generations after I played. I like to try to understand what happened to the town from the last words.

Also, a possible suggestion: what if we could append links to screenshots and very short comments to a family tree that others in the line could see. I could link to the post I made here about the "little bakery" and others might just post a screen shot of something memorable. Make it just a little multi-media.

Maybe use the forum ID system to cut down on the potential for moderation issues.

OK here is a funny photo of an old person showing off how many letters they can use https://i.imgur.com/nZIpgtI.jpg

Oh hey, I was in this town a few generations before you were born.   I remember the tree shrine.   It really was quite beautiful.   My name was Georgette Painter and I was in Gen 45.   

I spent the last years of my life adding wooden paths through the large berry patch so future generations would be able to pick and tend the berries more easily.   Sadly, I wasn't able to finish the last road because one of the bushes I was trying to remove got tended by someone who didn't realize what I was trying to accomplish.  I'm happy to see that the young man who offered to finish my road followed through and made the stone path near that horse cart on the left-hand side of the berry patch.   

There was another building in town that had been griefed by a door-locker before I was born.   All four doors were locked and a wall was broken.  You can see it to the upper right from the bakery.  No one used that building.    Not sure what it was - maybe the nursery?  It was pretty much empty inside.  During my life, the bakery had three unlocked doors and one door that had a lock on it already.   I considered removing the other doors to discourage more door locking, but I hoped that people wouldn't be so terrible twice in the same town.   I guess that was wishful thinking.   Maybe the locked doors gave someone the same bad idea or maybe the same griefer came back to finish his work.  The layout of that town was pretty bad and it had too many kilns all over the place - probably constructed by griefer(s) so they could make locks without people noticing.   I wish I had followed through with my idea to fix the doors, but then again, I doubt that would have stopped BB Painter from doing something terrible to the town.

The majority of my life was uneventful, but it was not my favorite town.   The awkward layout and obvious signs of griefing were depressing and made me feel paranoid.  I even made myself a knife, because I had the feeling I might need it eventually.   I rarely do that, but I found a blade blank lying on the ground and I didn't want to see it made into more locks.   In hindsight, I probably should have made shears instead.

Unfortunately, my life ended on a sour note.   In my old age, I was approached by one of my grand-daughters.   She asked if I would be dying soon (always a good sign) and then wanted to know if she could have my knife (even better sign) so she could kill sheep.   I was two minutes away from 60, so I gave her the knife and hoped I was making the right choice.   A minute and a half later, I heard a scream.   Followed it over to find my knife sticking out of a random person.   My last words were "That is not a sheep." 

I think that town might have been cursed.    But don't those wooden paths look nice?

Nice !

I wonder how many tutorial areas are there? Just one for each server? Or many?
If there are many are they far from each other?
Can we find this place by doing the tutorial?
