One Hour One Life Forums

Some people just have such an itch to kill they look for any reason to do it, whether it be a child saying "Murder", "Grief", "I kill twelve people today" or a baby making a devious face.
Griefers only do their thing when they are utterly abandoned by their town and other players, in a previous life(s) or the current.
Care for the troubled children today, because Sandy here definitely wasn't cared for.

(oh, by the way, I died like fifteen seconds after getting fed)

Description:
Previously my son was murdered, my next son imprisoned. Both by the same woman.
My son who had died came back with another account (presumably) was then stabbed again.
Having enough of Sandy's shenanigans and just being too paranoid I kept my son alive which turned her and her lackey
daughter against me which ensued a brutal snowball fight to the death, but through (a bug) sheer determination I beat bleeding out for a never-before seen amount of time.

If there was only one eve per biome and that eve and their decendants got unique item recipes or technicalities associated with their biome what would they be?
(These eves and people aren't locked into any biome, they just get some special abilities that would encourage/prioritize settling near/in their biome)

Ideas (not all mine) currently consist of..

Snow: feed ice holes fish to lure out a seal once per hour and fish traps (so you don't have to constantly stay at a hole to get menial amounts of fish for time invested).

Savannah: 5 slot backpack

Swamp: 4 slot basket, tule stumps provide two adobe

Badlands (grey land): Iron blooms break into two iron ingots, bear coats

Jungle: banana trees, palm oils, and rubber trees can all be grown

Greens: domestic milkweed provides 1 string (instead of stalk)

Desert: domesticated snakes?? (Carry pet snakes in backpack??) (Desert is hard to think for)

Personal gardens for mass producing crops without worry things will go missing
Personal storage for clothes you made or found and want to pass to specific people (giving hard workers their just reward of good stuff)
Safe storage for materials *you* want to make sure are used on specific projects or objects
(say, a spare pile of steel specifically for tools, furs for packs that -don't- need to be made, or wool balls for cloth bolts)
Cheap "houses" to protect people from harsh conditions
Potential for full apocalypses

Sure greed and selfishness can disrupt or completely flip the stated above, but if we continue sharing and caring this new
update has potential to be more beneficial than everyone thinks it going to be horrible
We'll see and shapes ourselves how things go.
If anything, just figure out who owns the place and communally murder them if you don't want private spaces or specific people to own things.

Sure your first instinct is to say "We don't need wars, or more killing" but of two weeks ago's discussions Jason wants us to have differences
and reasons to declare war and fight or trade or whatnot.. I didn't really read it but I know as how the game stands theres little room for it with the exception of heavy roleplaying.

Now I went to thinking, if you want to enforce your ideal/roleplay onto others all you need is power, real power.
The first thought was a small advancement in weaponry, the idea being swords.

Now you might wonder, if you're not already commenting "we don't need war", "how would you want swords to work?? well??"
and here I will try to create the technicalities of the sword in a balanced manner.

Crafting: combine two blade blanks to make.. two blade blanks, pour a bowl of quicklime (or soda-lime mixture?) onto it, forge that,
hammer it, sharpen it with file when its cool, forge it again, use on full bucket of water/crock of water, and add drilled short shaft (drill shortshaft because tang, and lategame weapon status).

and there, Tempered Steel Sword!
Tempered steel sword is small size, but takes up three spaces in a basket/backpack, unless a sheath is added but we wouldn't see that until we get leather or something.

Now how it works: The sword has 3 charges when it comes to attacking. Each charge deals a attack of scaling lethality and movement
speed penalty (-15/20% per attack). each stage of blood splatter expires after 20 seconds, with a forced cooldown of 2.5 seconds in between each strike.

Picture this, Sword hits ruffian man, ruffian is now nicked, receiving a debuff to movement (-15%?) but not an entirely dead from the attack
(some items may not be able to be used while recently nicked). this wound heals after two minutes, and the ruffian can use weapon class items after one minute.
Swordman is not going to let ruffian leave alive, so he strikes again. this now causes a normal wound that must be healed with bandage and stitches.
(at this point its only a 40 second murder cooldown, and normal death timer)
Swordman really hates this ruffian, he stole and named his daughter while he wasn't paying attention and doesn't know who his daughter is anymore, so he strikes him a third time.
This causes a deep wound that is nearly untreatable unless the ruffian is right at the medic station with a 15-20 seconds to death timer and requiring two pads and stitches. and even if the ruffian is graced with healing they can never hold weapon class items, use carts, or horses, and have a movement penalty of -15/20% for the rest of their life.

If two swordsmen clash it becomes a battle of skill with parries and quick thinking
Click self to preform parry for 1 second (cooldown of 1-2 seconds, too) if you are hit in the timeframe cause a dent in the sword of your opponents (and yours?), reducing its charges by 1. this denting mechanic also applies to knives (but not parrying). dents can be fixed by hitting with hammer/sharpening with file (1 at a time)
if shot with arrow while parrying receive a nick (if nicked, become wounded)
One parry can block up to 3 attacks at once
Swords can be still be held if nicked, warriors don't give up over a little cut (but a warrior with a knife does?..).

I dont have much left to say other than this could provide the power and balance required for more family bonds ("brother!! save me!!"( and they can actually afford to protect you without just dying themselves) ) and grouping of individuals. And the ability to neutralize groups of people we don't like but they have a weapon each and you wouldn't possibly survive to further liberate your civilization (say a bunch of berry/pie munchers talking at the fields over nothing).

Sorry, long post I know.. but I was hyped to make this after thinking of the technicalities, maybe they might work?..
