hmm yeah the game is reaching a dystopian state. I wonder if Jason will intervene or not, after all he announced that he's on vacation.

Part of the problem is that the rift makes systematic griefing so much easier, since you can find weapons just lying around everywhere and everybody knows where the towns are.

Compare the current state to the situation months ago when villages were still wildly separated and griefers were limited to harming only the place they were born into. In contrast to this you can now just /die a few times - get born as an eve wander the map a bit to find the required sword and go on an entertaining killing spree with all players on the server within your reach and no one can even curse you.

I am not sure how to fix this, but my suggestion would be to limit the amount of families based on server population and then to only spawn eves once the number of players has exceeded a certain number (I am pretty sure we already had this once so it shouldn't be difficult). This would make forcing eve status impossible and thus remove the killer eves from the game. This would also make families last much longer while avoiding the problem we had when the eve window was completely closed with just one family taking over the entire rift.

I believe larger, longer lasting families would somewhat reduce the griefing problem. For one thing you could curse a larger portion of the server population, thus making the only moderation tool more effective. Also it would make peace treaties and language learning meaningful, since there is little point in making a treaty with a family if it will be dead in a generation.

The caveat to all of this is that OHOL might die despite all efforts, simply because the basic premise is unworkable. This case is made by RedComb here: https://onehouronelife.com/forums/viewt … d=7563&p=2
and I'm afraid he might be right.

very interesting!
What strikes me about this is that the number of families and eves is so high.
I would say that on average there are roundabout 15 families on average and seventy people online on average. That gives us on average less than five people per family, which is in my opinion simply too low. At that number families aren't very resilient and lineages are constantly dying out and being started again. This is reflected on the family trees site where the longest lineage of the day is now only 25 generations long and of the five only two are alive at the time of me writing this.
I think the number of lineages should be capped based on server population, so that eves can only spawn when the number of players per family is above a certain threshold. On the other hand, I would base failure condition on something like life expectancy.

I kill them every time.
In my last game in the Falls Family I spent my time building a wall and killing all intruders that came into our perimeter.
We had 6 instances of these 5 were eves. I killed all of the eves using Bow and arrow. Another case was a woman on a horse cart with fancy clothing.
In this case she was actually stealing from us. My son stabbed her. Great Guy.
Anyways foreign eves present a double problem:
1. a mortal threat to your progeny, since you can't curse them
2. resource competition
In the long term killing them is always the safest option if they get in.

I think its kind of interesting how thanks to  /die the infant mortality in this game matches (okay probably exceeds) the infant mortality in primitive societies.
