One Hour One Life Forums

I mean with so many people going crazy and wiping out whole generations on a daily basis, we wouldn't even have survived as a species. Since there are no eves in real life.

I really like the idea of fighting someone making hungry

Now you have to make sure you're fully refreshed with food and at full strenght before you kill someone. Also it would be harder for little kids or old people - which actually makes sense.

Well its pretty easy to kill someone. So all you really need to wipe out all active settlements is determination.

Yeah

Its quite facinating to see how well some human behaviors translate into this game

Oh, sorry. I should've scrolled through older threads before I decided to share this. But well, if really so many people suggest the same thing over and over again - then there's definitely a need for that.

This game is fictional aswell, so what stops us from using it as a game mechanic? We don't necessarly need to call it "sin", thats just the first thing that popped into my mind. Simply because religion thematically fits the mindset of early human civilization. And while of course fictional, its still a huge part of our history and had significant influence on the development of our society. So I don't see why it wouldn't make sense to be included as a concept.

Punishment is part of almost every game ever created. Especially this one! Here in OHOL you're sometimes beeing punished for stuff that's not even your fault. Some idiot picks the last carrot and a whole village is screwed.

Its a way create endogenous value in a game. Resources in a game mean more when they can be taken away. Taking risks is exciting - particularly if the potential rewards are balanced against the risks. You can only take risks if there are negative consequences or punishments. For griefers there are no risks. They don't lose anything, while you lose everything.

THAT is bad game design. We need to change that.

Because Jason believes that massacres like this are realistic part of the experience, so it doesn't need to be balanced. The problem is that there are no consequences besides dead (Which means almost nothing in a game were you can just respawn within seconds and continue your griefing in the next village)

In reality stuff like that happens too of course. But the difference is that consequences are permanent, so even people that lack the empathy usually don't go on random rampages. It takes alot for a person to actually get to the point where they don't care about consequences anymore and often mental illnesses are responsible for that. People just dont make that decision because they're bored or something.

Ingame there's nothing that holds someone from doing whatever the fuck they want.

Well I've had some pretty good experiences with that so far. I build my villages around similiar principles and they always thrive for generations. Sometimes I'm even born back again into one of my communites a few hours later. And guess what? Its still going strong.

So you're telling me if I decide to don't give a fuck about my mother and her rules its her fault? I like that. Always love to blame others or my actions. Seriously though babies are actual players and chances are they may have different goals than you in mind. No matter how well you teached them.

While it is true that can't control every user - that's not the point. The basis of any society are rules and the ability to communicate them. As a mother you're the first, most respected and best source of information for that. You're the one to show the newborn the way of your village. And most people who actually want to play the game will want to help out and follow what you tell them. Especially if they see that everyone is following the same rules aswell. Its the power to give your community the direction it needs.

Beeing a matriach not useless task.

I don't think any efficently advanced village will have only one farmer. And if there aren't enough people working on the field - then its your job to find someone to replace them. People not doing their jobs, leaving or dying will always happen. In most places no one will either notice or care and everyone will just go on with their buisness until its too late. At least from what I've seen.

However the difference here is, that you have someone keeping an eye on things to make sure problems like that are solved as quickly as possible.

We are not discussing a small three people settlement in the woods here, where its maybe just a farmer, your baby and you. The system draequine suggested is clearly meant for larger communities. While most likely not perfect, its at least an approach into the direction of a more organized society.

Your chaotic view however, with everyone doing what they want, tons of uncontrolable births and the premise that most people will just figure out what the village needs by themselfes - that's just not going to work out in the long run.

Ever heard about "Tragedy Of The Commons"?

That's not entirely true. Yes, christianity had a huge influence and diseases were seen as a punishment by god during that time. However, we're talking about wound treatment here. Which was commonly practiced and definitely nothing that would make an heretic. They even had surgeons on the battlefield during the crusades, that would stich and bandage people and apply some basic antiseptics to prevent infections.

Sure medical procedures weren't as advanced as today, but depending on your injures you still had a pretty decent chance to survive. A single stab from a knife was easily treatable.

the best pie is baby pie

Sounds like a solid concept.

That's exactly the kind system of I expect to establish itself in the future. One or a bunch of queens and their organize the whole thing as leaders while also giving birth and raising their "workers". Kinda like ants or bees.

I also want to add that you probably want to kill all not needed female babies, since you don't want to give anyone else than a queen the ability to make new babies. You want mostly male workers that can fulfil their purpose without any interuptions.

Ummm youll be surprised but that shit actually happens alot even irl lol

If he clearly stated that some of the stuff he's showing right now isn't in the game yet, then I wouldn't have payed attention. But that's not the case. He just told us that he's live inside the game and then he showed us a bunch of cool stuff. The "I will add more to the game" really seemed more like that he's going to add that on top of what's already shown there.

There's a reason why so many people got confused by this trailer.
