One Hour One Life Forums

Hi Danica, its Aunty Wendy here; so happy you carried on the family corn business- you were a great apprentice and like the daughter I never had Glad to hear the family loincloth got passed down as well. It was originally Angels, so was an important part of the family inheritance!

Unfortunately only one of my boys lived to a ripe old age- Mondell (Monday) you were a great worker and it seems you picked an excellent way to go-shrooms are always fun! Tuesday I know you were new and hoped I was able to teach you a little in your short life- I wish I couldn't been around to help out more! Wednesday and Unamed- I was so busy with the corn by the time you both came along I really didnt get to spend any time with either of you- sorry about that!

SACRIFICE FOR THE POPCORN GOD! ALL HAIL THE CORN GOD 

Yey Athena you saw my message! Ahh poor little Poppy; I guess you were right to worry! At least Corny lived a long life <3

I dunno, I've probably had worse problems with carrot sponge girls in the past before. At least with the boys there's just one of them. With girls- well they may be continuing the lineage, but if they are bad at giving instructions to their children then chances are you'll end up with a whole group of carrot sponges, which are bound to kill the town faster than any one boy could. I think a better solution is just to make sure you give your kids clear instructions on what they need to do for the town. Sure you get the occasional griefer or bad player, but I think most carrot sponges are just people who are not sure what to do. I even still occasionally find I live the odd carrot sponge life when I can't find any useful jobs I know how to do around town and none of the other players are willing to help me out. Having a mum say from the start "we need rabbits, snares north" or something similar can make a big difference.

That's a fair enough call to make- and yeah I've definitely more tolerant of useless girls than boys for similar reasons. My main problem is with the trend of players who think automatically killing off ALL boys is a good idea haha. Like when the town is clearly producing enough food and could probably do with a few more rabbit hunters and they're acting like idiots, thinking that getting rid of potentially useful boys is good pop control.

I recommend playing a round as eve in an empty server (so you don't have to worry about children). That way you can take your time learning the basics or survival (how to gather food, make a sharp stone, make string etc). After that just go back to server one and offer to help various players (or just watch what they're doing).

I really like the idea as it would give me a chance to get my friends into the game! That being said there should be some precautions put in place when it comes to twins; perhaps they are only born into larger towns somehow? Or mothers who have twins have a much longer birth cool down time.

Another option to allow co-op play would be twin Eves. It would be fun have the odd chill out game where you and a friend start your town together- and being an eve kinda forces you to talk to the other players as you've got to give instructions to your first kids.

Probably was the same bear I encountered as Frida that killed Ed- I actually ran into it a few times in my life because it was roaming around the savannah and grasslands where everyone was trying to harvest resources. If we haven't been so short of milkweed (damn milkweed nerf!) I would have asked people to help me make some bows and hunt it down. The wild animals were really out to get us haha.

Still I'm pretty stoked we got to 20 generations-it was by all means not an easy starting environment and it seems most of the Setos struggled and died young. I spent most of the game frantically trying to keep the family from starving as we never seemed to quite have enough resources. Good thing cousin Azlan got the bakery set up so early as the rabbit pies really kept us going while I was there.

Hi Rose, Its Grandma Seto.

Now youngin, I was going to post my own story but since your post here we might as well make this a Seto thread.... So lets all sit down and listen to the tale of how the Seto's are lucky to survive at all.

When I was a baby a rattle snake came to the farm and killed every small child but me-I barely got away by the skin of my teeth! Aunty Nameless told me that whatever happens I must survive and I took her words with me to my dying breath. I spent my childhood frantically trying to tend the failing family carrot farm- there wasn't much to it but with food running low I knew it was our families only chance at survival. At this point it was only my older brother and a male cousin left so I knew it was up to me to continue on the Seto name.

One day when waiting for our first big carrot harvest to arrive I looked up from my field to see my brother... and a HUNGRY GRIZZLY BEAR. Once again I bearly (haha) avoided death- using my superior reflexes to leap out of the way of the beasts jaws. But my trial was not over yet- for my carrots were ready to harvest AND THAT DARN BEAR WAS ON MY FARM. Once again relying on my death defying gymnastics I leaped and dodged the grizzly bear, plucking my carrots right from beneath his claws. I think my dear brother tried to lure him away, but the bastard bear would not leave my farm and slew my poor brother right before my eyes! To make matters worse as i was dodging the grizzly, who should arrive into this world, but my first child- YOUR MOTHER HELOISE (or Help as I liked to call her). Poor little Help was born right beneath the dreaded bear and it was only dumb luck that the bear did not eat her. I ran with her in my arms and finally the bear followed me far away from our family farm.

At last I was able to return home to the carrots- now the only people left were me, cousin Azlan and baby Help. When Help was old enough to tend the farm I left in search of milkweed and rabbits- but didn't get far before my second daughter Danger was born. Then began my long period of child rearing- Luck, Survive and Pie were all born in short order so I could not leave the family farm at all. I contented myself to bake pies, sew bags and yell MORE SOIL at the youngins. I was happy that after so much death, even with food supplies running low, I managed to keep every child I birthed and even helped raise some of my daughters.

And this is the point where I must scold you for your lip young girl- when I first saw you my menopause years were upon me and I could not feed you! I considered leaving you as we had soo many mouths to feed and not enough work getting done. But I could not stand to see one of my own suffer; even if you did seem a rude child yelling FU to the world. I worried that you would be a griefer- nevertheless I am glad you survived to a ripe old age!

Grateful to be free of child rearing for a time, I took it upon myself to collect the rabbits we so desperately needed by then. But who should be waiting for me to the south? None other than MR BEAR himself! Once again I avoided his deadly jaws and escaped into the wilderness. By the time I made it back home I was starving and too old to once again make the journey south to collect rabbits. I spent my winter years back at the carrot farm, once again yelling for soil and wondering what muppet planted milkweed in the carrot patch rather than create a separate plot!

When it was close to my time, the rattle snake I had seen as a baby came for me again- but after a lifetime of near death experiences I avoided it without a problem. I died of old age, defiant of the world that had tried to kill me at every step of the way. My last words were "Long Live Seto Clan!

And indeed againstall odds, the clan lived for many more generations.
