It happened to me.  Guy came up and cursed me out of nowhere.  I was literally just watering/tending the berries, and he came up and dropped a curse note with my name on it.  I tried to hide it behind a tree, but I accrued a number of curses because of it (not enough to actually get cursed, though).

It's just another way of griefing.

Think of it this way...

Players are the judges and juries for each other.  A curse is their vote for you to be 'jailed'.  When you get enough votes, the jailor (Jason), sends you to jail to do your time.  Once you've done your time, you can come back to society.

Since there is no real way of having a 'jail' in game (without it being totally abused), the 'jail' becomes a bit of a purgatory.  Donkey Town.  OHOL's version of old time Australia.

I think this is a great solution.  You get to play with your fellow trolls, and the rest of us get a reprieve from your nonsense.  And, since you don't like it, it should work as a good disincentive to continue griefing when you get to join the rest of us.

The problem with this is that it doesn't serve as a punishment to the griefer/toxic player, but rather serves as a burden to every other player.

The system should punish toxic players or serve as a major deterrent for their bad behaviour, not burden everyone else.

IRL, we don't say "Ok, we're letting the murderer live in your city... it's YOUR job to be extra vigilant and ensure they don't continue murdering people and/or murder you".  That would only terrorize the regular citizens, and any logical person would think that's insane.  That's effectively what happens in the game, currently.

Black characters introduced to the game has probably increased the use of the N-word by about 5000%.

I should probably stop playing this game.  It's making me hate humanity both in the real world and in the virtual world.

I don't know if this is intended, but you cannot seem to curse a player who is already cursed.  I thought the whole point was that the curses would multiply if they continued to get them.

But what difference does it make, anyway?  The entire cursing system simply doesn't work.  The cursed person gets born to towns, as usual, and there are some idiots who revere/protect them.  It turns into a badge of honour rather than a punishment.  Not a big incentive to not get cursed, really.

Feminazi is a term specifically used to silence and attack women's rights advocates, and those who support women or what is feminine.  The goal is to delegitimize and demonize those who endeavour to achieve equality/equity for men and women by making the very idea of parity seem like it's extreme, irrational, crazy, or anything else akin to nazism (which I think most rational people would agree is the prime example of horrible human behaviour).

It's an absolute farce to say that the term is actually used to identify people on the extreme side, because it's not.  This thread is a perfect example of that.  Pein used it in this thread, which was innocently about a roleplay about amazons.  There's absolutely nothing extreme or misandrist about that.  And yet, he felt the need to refer to the OP as a 'feminazi', not because they were extreme, but because they dared to find value in a female society (in a damn game).

Is comparing people who advocate for equality to nazis and nazism toxic?

LMAO!

This has been a major annoyance for forever...

and boom, it's fixed.

It's interesting because sometimes what we think is by-design is actually a mere oversight.

I am protesting stupid, overused, and uncreative names.  I am sick to death of the dumb name, and I hate being named it.  So, if you name me Hope, I will kill myself.  If people realize that naming their kid Hope is going to lead to their suicide, they might reconsider using it and instead find some creativity in their heads.

Your idiocy has no bounds, apparently.

No problem
I very rarely kill people... and I certainly wasn't going to kill the poor kid with the bad name.  Haha!

I was laughing so hard IRL, though.  Having the 4th kid have some ridiculous name that didn't match was just killing me.  It was like the ugly duckling, but with a name.

Haha!

You are consistently the worst player I encounter.  I have actually started identifying you just by who is being the biggest jerk.

You're rude, disrespectful, and annoying in game.  If people don't do exactly as you say (which is an order mixed with chastising, rather than an explanation), you murder them.  Instead of helping the town, or even nicely explaining to people how things work, you would rather spend your life finding the resources to murder people.  You act like you're the only one working even though there are 5 or 6 others who are doing just as much, if not more (while you run around creating a bow and arrow just to murder people).  You also murder people just for fun.  How you aren't permanently cursed is beyond me.

Your game play sucks, and then you come here to cry about it over and over again.

Here are some tips on how to play:

- Stop being rude and disrespectful.  If you haven't learned by now, people don't respond well to your approach. 

- Try explaining to people NICELY why they should consider doing something.  If they don't do it and they aren't *actively* griefing, move on with your life.  It's players like you who make this game hostile to new people who are learning.

- Recognize that your way isn't the only way, and get over it.  Despite all your complaints about how terrible your mother did in that game, our village thrived.

- You don't have to murder everyone who doesn't play the way that you want them to.  Go be productive and actually contribute something positive to the town.
