One Hour One Life Forums

I was the one who made the three crowns with your gold. I still remember telling you we should make a wolf crown with one and you told me you were scared they would kill you! Great job on finding the gold! I had some really fun and memorable lives in that town.

People who grief are probably just lacking some kind of control in their own lives, or, like kubassa, have some weird inflated sense of self importance. Players abandon babies for all sorts of reasons, whether it's not enough time/resources, or even if they just don't feel like taking care of another kid. We've all done it, but most of us don't take personal offense and plot revenge when it happens to us, because we don't all think the world revolves around us.

Either way, don't care about griefers. I can recount all the great people I've played with and all the adventures and things we've built in my many lives, but I never remember griefers.

Yup, I was actually King Ted (just died). I was in that town a couple generations before, when I made the first 10 or so stone tiles and all the red clothes. Came back and decided to go blue.

This isn't the first town where I haven't seen dung though. I was in another one yesterday where I couldn't get dung to work, but I figured it was because my pen was too cluttered.

I believe they poop if you feed them, even if they are adults.

After I died as your mom the first time, I had to step away for 30 min. I came back, and BOOM, immediately born to Grover Wild.

I was born into a thriving little village from my Eve lineage, the Chimeras, many generations
ago -- my previous home marker still standing proudly by the kiln. However, things quickly
deteriorated when someone started drying up all the ponds and destroying the kilns and ovens.
I had barely grown hair by the time the village had been killed off and I was driven away by a
woman with a bow.

I ran North, gathering what I could along the way to start on my own weapon. I swore I would
take the land back. And then, you were born. You came mewing into the world just as I began
fletching my arrow. And suddenly, the loss of my family seemed a little more bearable. It wasn't
revenge anymore -- I had to take you home and to help you live a better life.

Once you were old enough to survive on your own, we ran South, back to our homeland. I asked
you to promise me that you would run away if I got hurt, to save yourself. When we got to the
camp, all was quiet save for a gently fading fire. Cautiously, I patrolled the perimeter. We were
safe.

And so we began rebuilding our settlement. First, the old carrot farm. Then, the forge, reshaped
from the rubble. Maybe I would be able to give you a good life, after all.

Then, your first child arrived. Not a child, but a monster. It looked like an ordinary baby boy, but
we both felt it -- something off. As soon as he could open his mouth, he spoke unintelligible
babble.

"666"

I would not allow you to touch the devil child. And so it quickly perished, leaving its putrid rotting
corpse next to the carrot farm. Death still thick in the air, your second child arrived. It was just
like the first. One by one they died, and one by one they were replaced by the next iteration of the
same child.

"Mom, are we cursed?"

I did not know how to answer you, so I didn't. Instead, I ushered you closer to the fire, hoping
that one day you would bring a pure child into the world. I would never find out as my life was
cut short by a vicious wolf.

We may have been cursed, but you were my life's biggest blessing, my little Hunter. I'm sorry I
didn't get a chance to say good bye. And I'm sorry I didn't get to thank you for giving me purpose.

I like the new compost system. There was very little incentive to diversify from carrot farming before. With so many better food sources out there, a carrot farm shouldn't be the end game. A carrot farm should be a small part of a town's food production.

Also, as soon as you set up a working carrot farm, your goal should be to move up the tech tree and begin establishing better sources of food. Carrot farms at this point are not a sustainable option long term. I've seen so many settlements set up carrot farms as their only source of food, and then just rely on it until an inevitable famine.

Get started on pie production after you have carrots all set. Plant some berry bushes. Once you have those all up and running, you should then be concentrating on sheep farming and making mutton pie. Move as quickly up to this as possible.

Haha, hey mom!

I ended up summoning a ton more bears. I found this one spot with 5 bear caves and had all of them chasing me.

Same. My lasts 3 deaths were all from connection lost. In one life I lost connection in the middle of nowhere with the only cart from the village, and was one fence kit away from a sheep pen.

I guess Jason implemented server decay, too.

Who says that? Are you quoting yourself again?

I just want to make it clear that I don't really think this is "cheating", especially because all you're gaining is anonymous (if not for the forum) recognition of a big generation. I just think that because of how this was achieved, you bypassed the inherent difficulty of the game by specifically undermining the built in game mechanics.

I think this is a bit of a leap. You're talking about games with built in voice chat, and features that enable and encourage team play. And that is reflected in the theme and the goals of the games, as well. Can you imagine if you could only type one letter in TF2? The whole point of that game is to work together as a team and respond quickly, so the voice chat really helps in being agile.

There are numerous indications of OHOL not being such a game, least of which comes from Jason himself. These include: you spawn randomly, you can barely talk for the first few minutes, there are no maps/locations for you to readily find others, no in-game voice chat, etc. These are all features that enhance the difficulty of the game, and help build on the theme.
