One Hour One Life Forums

Yeh lol. Originally the city was going to be built to the south where there's plenty of water, but it was moved north because the reeds and ponds disrupted the planned design. Ponds need to be conveniently located so that berry bushes and carrots can be watered. Wells ALWAYS dry up and shouldn't be relied upon unless protect and managed. The original plan was to have the wells inaccessible to the public, but that was changed. I think the main overall flaw was the unadaptability of the design. Instead of building with the lay of the land in mind, the design was done in spite of it.

Any baby of mine that doesn't understand English will be stabbed or thrown to the wolves. Hopefully this new influx is English-proficient, but experience tells me they'll likely just be griefers.

Men drool, women rule. Men's value is solely derived from how much they contribute (like real life). Given women are also able to contribute, women are inherently much more valuable than men, so why bother keeping men around? Yes, there are exceptions, but that doesn't prove jack. If you're male and don't kill yourself, then you're a problem. It's 2018.

Yes you can. Feeding mushrooms to babies is the new meta. Just gotta make sure the baby is hungry before force-feeding.

I haven't encountered a griefer in the past 5 hours of game-time. The reason you hear so much about griefing is because it's one of the few things to complain about. The game is amazing, even though tech wise we're only around the bronze age. Regarding player toxicity, that's typically reserved to parts of the forum, and the Discord. Yes, I guarantee you will encounter frustrated players, especially as you're learning, but I cannot recommend this game enough, as you'll learn so much. This isn't a game, but a learning experience.

Damn straight. I've been born to you (or some other monstrous person), and I always run off to die.

Best surname is Gaylord though.

This. When you see a griefer, you give the belltower a quick ring and then everyone goes on the hunt. Probably resulting in significant loss of innocent life, but YOLOHOL.

Totally down. We'd probably have to set it up first before allowing regular people in.

Very true. A large portion (majority?) of the VOIP was vetting newborns to prevent griefing.

Overall, we definitely did circumvent the way the game was played (playing in a basement next to a friend would be the same). Was it cheating? No, but it was definitely cheeky. I'd like more depth added to the longest generation. My preferred solution would be the longest extant generation. Others have suggested maybe it links to a top 10 list.

You're actually the reason the villages run out of food, don't blame the babies (although they are partly responsible also). People abandon babies when the civ is overpopulated. Only look after someone's baby if asked to, or if it's obvious you're not overpopulated. A civs carrying capacity increases over time, but if exceeded at any point, it's most likely your whole tribe will be wiped out. I do applaud you for migrating when SHTF though.

The only reason legit families don't get further is because they inevitably get griefed unrecoverably. The current winning family got griefed twice (I believe), but it was quickly contained (aided by outside game communication). In the current meta, I've encountered masses of noobs, but I'm not sure if they're new players, or just don't look-up patch notes.

Mutton is the best storage food and produces clothes as a side-effect. Berries overall are the master food because a single decent farmer can sustain an entire large town (~15-20 people), you would need between 60 and 200 bushes though...

I'm going to abort you well before you're capable of typing three characters. What's wrong with Q? Just about everyone who uses the forum knows how to do everything. This just over complicates for little to no gain. I've only had a handful of mothers recognise Q anyway, why would I have better luck with a three character code...
