I dislike the idea of this change, it takes away from the game's foundation "One hour one life" it's one life, which ends after an hour
I wan't interested in this game because i thought:
"Wow, i sure do like playing in the same situation again and again, doing something that games like don't starve and/or minecraft do better, but much clunkier"
What pulled me in was the idea of each situation i'm born into being different, while you could once implemented ignore this feature, the way this is being put, i'll have to actively alter my playstyle, dying before 60 OR having to /die as a baby and lose gene score, i don't like being punished mechanically, or by boredom.

#5 Re: Main Forum » Can This Game Evolve Beyond White Supremacy? » 2020-11-06 09:13:40

white supremacy is awesome, but the current state of the game made it so white people are actually worse off,
because they don't have resources to swap with other people
i propose a change: we give white people all the speciality biomes so we can have better white supremacy

Well old hat or not the tool slots just prove my message, the game didn't get worse with their removal did it?

Jason has piled on limitation after limitation each update, which didn't make the game better.

The race biomes and resources, locking away content from the player on random basis.  With the intention of splitting up resourced between villages.
Well restrictions removing the nomad playstile entirely. With the intention of limiting iron and creating trade and making villages follow regular cycles.
Tool slots, which made it a general headache to get anything done. With the intention of making villagers specialize.

All of these have failed in their goals, players communicate outside of the game to get race resources to all villages, purposefully go in as eves just to uncover iron veins, and abuse the first tool's free use with their fellow villagers.

These limitations did not achieve what they originally were meant for, they are just trouble for players.

Is the solution really to just pile band aids onto the problems?

#9 Re: Main Forum » Genetic Fitness Rework? » 2020-10-19 17:47:26

the gene score doesn't measure if your family survives beyond the people you've seen when alive, this means any project that will not benefit your offspring now is pointless in the system's eyes, this is what i believe to be the problem

#10 Re: Main Forum » Coming soon: Specialty Biome and Homland geographic banding » 2020-10-19 16:52:49

will wells still spawn on a grid?
will white people be able to have children outside of the four belts on the infinite mountains southward and northward
will this make trade actually happen?

white people still have nothing to offer, maybe introduce something all people will want and something that's easy to transport so trade could be done easier ?

#11 Re: Main Forum » Abuse by Griefers » 2020-09-23 13:51:58

i really do think we have all the tools we need, curses only don't work because of the new players not using them, give them some time, let the frustration of death over and over seep in, they will eventually visit the wiki and use their better judgement in game to curse, problem solved, really just give em time

#12 Re: Main Forum » Review From Steam » 2020-09-21 18:38:06

jason will not fix anything, he has proven time and time that no idea will get into the game and no flaw will get changed untill he feels like it

#13 Re: Main Forum » Jason, an idea for community engagement. » 2020-08-16 13:19:12

what do you mean communicating with the players?
he's the best game developer he doesn't need nobody telling him how to do stuff
the brilliance of his game design is too much for us mortals to grasp
the average ~40 player count is all part of his plan, you dare not interfere

#15 Re: Main Forum » Can something be done about zone restrictions? » 2020-08-05 09:47:57

there was no trade before the restriction
there still isn't none

any town can just have their stuff taken, if it lies in the open
why does it lie in the open?
because there's nothing separating inside from outside, like a fence
fences around towns are only seen as griefing now, why is that?
because they take no resources or time to complete and are indestructible
why do people build fences and protection in real life?
because they don't want their stuff stolen and themselves killed
that isn't a problem in ohol, you can just easily get reborn into another settlement next life
so the only use for fences left is griefing
if nothing matters, why bother with protection?

you can bring stuff in return for the things you've taken, but why?
why would you want to, the village leader will most likely ignore you fully and not bother
stealing is free of any punishment
with communication using paper being so slow and people so apathetic most don't bother with you and just ignore you
if they have the resource stockpiled, then it's as easy as taking it
if they don't it becomes a gamble, you might get called a griefer, stabbed and cursed, you might be ignored,
but you never will get the stuff you asked for

hell, one time i brought some brown folk four buckets of wheat, emptied them in their bakery
i asked them to fill the four buckets i had with palm kernels
after nine minutes of asking people to fill some buckets with palm kernels, six of whom just ran away
only the seventh person actually reacted to it like a human being
you know what they did?
they went to the nursery and talked to others for ten minutes straight, ran away
then a nine year old child went with me to get some palm kernels, finally
the little guy who wasn't even around when i arrived
goes to some rubber trees, slashes them and puts the buckets i got for palm kernels on them
after a minute of waiting hands me some latex

~20 minutes of 'trading' and i didn't even get the stuff i needed, absolutely wonderful isn't it?

the only real way to get the special biome resources is to communicate with other players outside the game that's it

#16 Re: Main Forum » Meme score.... » 2020-08-03 20:39:58

then at a certain low number it'd be worth it to just pop in, die, get the gene score of your older siblings and mother, repeat
and i don't mean /die, no i mean just go into the wilderness and die away from others, bringing their meme score down

#17 Re: Main Forum » Meme score.... » 2020-08-03 18:40:58

it's perfectly sensible, if it was the other way around people would complain about being born to a mother with a bunch of dead kids
nuking their gene score, even though they had no way to prevent it

#18 Re: Main Forum » Archery Update (Edited) » 2020-08-02 19:54:26

attaching things to backpacks is neat, i'd love that
every tool would benefit from that, even an adze would
bring an adze, and an axe on a backpack and in a cart with a lot of baskets and make greenpeace cry
make just a whole lot of wooden shoes
a pickaxe for correcting griefed roads
a shovel for a stoneworker, so one doesn't need to waste the precious cart space that's supposed to be full of rocks
etc

what was the reason for their removal?
too hard to curse?
well jason 'recently' given young players a bigger character limit so,
saying "i curse Hope Slutky LXIX" wouldn't be that bad
one still would be able to curse by not specifying a name and just using "you"
too confusing?
if most people figure out the name of the person they want to curse, then they would see their number too
so, maybe not that either
something else maybe?

#20 Re: Main Forum » A Peace Emote that makes it so you can't kill » 2020-08-02 09:17:33

this is horribly confusing
what was wrong with keeping it simple, and just having peace be something that players made...
using words...
and not magic...
and war being you know, just people going to war...
and killing other people...
and stealing stuff...

#21 Re: Main Forum » Notice about account details shared publicly (account pools, twitter) » 2020-08-02 09:06:31

oh this is some really interesting stuff, but what if multiple people do this, but sorta keep it a secret
what are you gonna do about that?
use their IPs to prove that they are sharing the account?
and what if someone forgot to turn off their VPN before logging on
how does one prove that something is an honest mistake instead of account sharing?
i'm not at all familiar with any technical things around this
maybe there's some other way to know what person is using the account i'm not aware of and this is not at all a problem?

this is just awful
surely there were other fams?
why didn't they get any kids?

#24 Re: Main Forum » Been away for about a year, wtf? » 2020-07-27 19:58:58

i'd much prefer just being free to do whatever
one of the better moments i've had recently is being born as a daughter to an eve with a sister
mother died so i had to take care of my sis
she was new and i had to teach her
but i couldn't, the game expected me to go fast and get a village going
even though i was surrounded with dead unrepopulatable villages
and if i din't the generational food nutrition value reduction mechanic would kick in
crippling my family untill death
or, one of my kids would run off and grief by making a well
locking my family out of getting iron

this was good untill the stupid restrictions forced me to drag my sis, with her having no idea on how to play
we couln't stay nomads for one second too long
as that was a death sentence by the game's restrictions

the restrictions don't make anything fun, they only create more problems instead of solving any
