One Hour One Life Forums

Thank you. It's possibly 30 minutes had passed when I got the chance to check up on them.

I was frustrated that they were gone, but half a lifetime is pretty decent and more than good enough for people to enjoy their company. That's good to hear.

I'm late to the thread, but OP is coming at this from the wrong angle.

You don't need to punish the players when there's things you can do to ease the situation for everyone instead. Instead of applying rules to people who leave, suicide, disconnect, etc, you let them pick if they want to spawn as a male or female baby, or as an Eve. That won't affect all of the quitters, but I promise it will address a decent portion of them.

If you guys don't want your fellow players to have that level of control over their experience, you are forced to punish them if you still want to stop the behavior you dislike. Punishment leads to spite though, so that's not necessarily going to disarm the situation.

I can't stand being born into a big town. Most of the time, I want to play an Eve. Occasionally, I might help out if I'm a 2nd or 3rd gen (then I run off and pretend to be an Eve anyway).

Truly an emotional piece and awe inspiring work.

I only read the non-wall of text parts of this so I might not be answering what you asked, but I saw a streamer in the West family a while back. His mom was tearing up a rival family with a knife. I'm guessing they had a family vs family fight. And if there was West on West fighting, maybe it came as a result of that.

I was about to post that too. That Eve had so many kids, that you have scroll sideways to see the entire familytree in 1080p. Wow!

I imagine some most have been twins that bumped the baby counter up, but it's still extreme.

I haven't been quit as cynical as the OP, but I've left unnamed babies in walking distance from my marker as an Eve without saying anything to them, and then I kept the ones that chased me back. It isn't intended as a test. I just can't be bothered running further away to ditch them. It tells you real fast which babies has some fighting spirit. The downside is that it probably carries a grudge, but hey, whatever keeps the family going.

I like your temperature test a lot. Definitely going to start doing that.

Do you have category for those annoying babies that spell out long sentences one or two letters at a time, or does that fall under 'staying silent'? I lack both the patience and grasp of English as a second language to even bother with young baby chat.

I don't have a strong feeling about it, just thought I'd mention a thing. Rabbit hunting has that 19th century beaver hunting feel to it though. That is to say, it's not a long term solution, just something you do to get by, and at the end the population of the hunted creature is a mess.

Meanwhile, all the fancy folk are shepherding or cotton farming, and wearing rich people clothes.

That's a cool offer. I hope people are interested in taking you up on it.

I get what you mean, but I like how you pretty much suggested OP needs a teaching license to help people.
Don't sweat it, man. Even in the event that something is inaccurate, any help is better than no help.

I like huntin' bunnies, namin' babies and making armor from bunny butts.

I can't say for sure who your line connects to, but I know two different Eve Rogers that lived in the same base yesterday. For some reason I can't post links, sorry.

Search for Eve Rogers in the familytree. The Eve with Anne Rogers as the eldest daughter was the first one to spawn into the huge base with the berry farm to the east, the horse north and the sheep pen south. I think that base belonged to the "The" family two days ago. I was Anne, and the Eve told me she spawned into that base by luck.

I don't know why, but that Eve Rogers family tree breaks at some point. The Rogers family stays in the fort, but there's a new Eve. She is the Eve Rogers with Julie Rogers as the eldest daughter. It's possible a second Eve managed to find her way there and took the name Rogers again, just to keep the names similar.

I wish you could click the names in family trees to get some sort of text log of their actions or the chat that happened near them. It'd be fun for following what happened to people like your dead old uncle, Bob the Dick.
