I remember Deadrian!

On the topic of "cool" surnames, my town got griefed by an Eve called "Deatherage" or something. I killed her at least three times over the course of a couple hours too. At the end of the day, she still won by wiping out my dynasty. I did manage to save my adopted dynasty when she came back with a different name.

I think the real reason Jason did this because he didn't realise how popular this game would be and he thought there would be dead time (which there is on servers 4+). I think it'd be totally viable, and at least an interesting experiment, if there was a popular server that wipes every time the last player dies, and there's a limited amount of Eves that can spawn (higher Eve rate a start of server decreasing exponentially).

I'd definitely put money on a town, and even a dynasty lasting more than 48 hours eventually. Especially once the average player skill increases. If the average player was as skilled as you or I, there wouldn't be any town massacres, because they'd be stopped rather quickly. The problem is that once I (or my mum in the 31 dynasty scenario) stop a massacre, often I'm the last person left alive. If I'm female, then I repopulate, but if not, the town dies out.

Why are you guys still dying to griefers? With all the latest anti-pvp griefer mechanics, you shouldn't be dying. I haven't died from a griefer in the past 40 hours of play time.

You definitely had a trash society if you were still subsisting off carrots. Everyone knows carrots are peasant food. Advanced societies have weapons and farm berries. Berries use 25% less water, and 50% (citation needed) less effort.

Kerfuffle the Grey Llama

Dropping knives on empty tiles kills people

I was Clem! I somewhat resented you because I thought my name was girly. My life was pretty unmemorable, I think I just farmed berries my whole life, probably preaching about the Word of the Berry. If I recall the life correctly, the line died out because all the girl babbies suicided.

I just had a life in Murdertown/Trump Town on Server 3 where our town of about 10 was wiped out (bar me) by a couple of bow/knife wielding brigands. 

When I was born (male), I noticed there was a murder body, buzzing around but nobody seemed fazed so I ignored it. Once I reached age 10, my cousin Bill ran around town yelling "Bear!". Still being a child, unable to use a bow, and skilled enough (so I thought) to dodge bears, I ignored it and carried on working*. I saw the bear a few times, but it never bothered me. I heard the sound of a bow death, and knew something was up. Like my cousin, I ran around yelling "Murder!?". I find the brigands yelling at all the onlookers that they're all next to die - for whatever reason, nobody seemed to do anything. I went to find a weapon, when I come across Bill from before, running into the death zone. I yell at him to stop and that there are griefers, until he stops in the middle of the death zone and takes an arrow. I run around the death zone hurling abuse at the two brigands, while one kills the other while trying to kill me. Eventually the lone brigand leaves and I kill the amok bear, tend the farms and bodies preventing any loss of seed, bush, and clothing. Just as I finish, I hear footsteps... she had returned, but this time, with no weapon. I chase her with a knife, asking her why she did it. Her, being an experienced player typed while evading me, and I ascertained she did it because we had killed her mother when she came to town wanting to trade. It all came back to me... I remembered the buzzing murder victim that nobody cared about.

We had a good chat, and it turns out she was an anti-griefer too. My family literally killed her families matriarch for the clothes off her back. After, we both returned to our respective homes, to live out our days alone. I spent the rest of my life roaming the bearlands south-west of Trump Town and ended up killing a total of 8 bears (my personal record). While fighting my ninth bear, I misclicked and ended up dead by bear at the age of 54, the irony didn't escape me. My only regret is that now my clothes are rotting away, and I didn't leave Trump Town as neat as I should of. If anyone repopulates Trump Town, please search for me in the south-west bearlands. Just watch out for the bear with two arrows sticking out - and there's likely more bears too lol (that place was insane).

I wanted to share this, because it's inherently a revenge story about a families love for their mother, who my town brutally murdered. It saddens me that I lost a innocent few siblings and cousins younger than me who never learned the reason why they were killed - simply collateral damage. They likely felt like this was another incident of petty griefing. I should also point out that my mum was excellent - giving me a complete tour, and that I definitely failed in my obligations to mum given I had her killer virtually at my mercy. For anyone wondering, I was Joe.

*It turned out the "brigands" lured a bear into our camp, that did most of the killing. Seems like a valid wartime strategy.

Bill, if you're reading this, never again tell someone to not eat berries. Berry is the superior food and all should know that by now.

Learn about the Allerian Method and your horse tying needs will be addressed. Ask about it in-game, most people should know it by now. I've only died once so far while riding a horse. The trick is to zig-zag if travelling vertically.

Ah, apologies... On PC. I'll be playing the game on my Win10 laptop tomorrow though, so will report back if I get the same issue as you guys.

The question is whether or not you "kept the knife safe", or you stabbed her in the back out of vengeance?

Top five most important roles is the town organiser. However, it's not much to ask people to put their shit away, e.g. plates into basket near bakery. I fully condone the murder of people who throw away plates.

That's what we all thought! You don't need compost to maintain a berry farm, unlike a carrot farm though.

If society shifted from their carrot centrism, we'd all have more spare time to do other tasks. Berries take less work to grow, and about 25% less water - meaning a lot less farmers. The main downside is that a berry is worth 0.75 carrots, so you'd need 25% more storage if you only farmed berries.

I was doing some maths trying to work out the difference in efficacy between berries and carrots, and gooseberries are a clear winner in most scenarios. I still support carrot farms, but not as people's first choice in food. They should be either stored (superior to berries), or used in compost for wheat (rabbit pie - best pie).

My dude, I think you've killed me before (week or 2 ago). I can't tell from your post if you're aware, but domestic berry bushes only regrow if you eat the last berry. USUALLY you shouldn't eat from a full bush, but there are exceptions. I've filled up many a cart with berry baskets

By the way, eating berries is usually better for your civilisation than carrots. They use about 25% less water per calorie.
