What about you?

Question:

If someone is messing with you, breaking the rules of your village, how do you deal with them?  Like, if someone picks every carrot and runs off with it and hides it.  And you catch them doing it.  And you tell them to stop.  And they don't stop.  Then what?

That is the only reason that killing is present in OHOL, because I cannot envision how player-generated laws would function without it.

You could implement a reporting and temporary banning system like in other online multi-player games.
I know that's kinda impossible with players being anonymous in game and it's a lot of work for one person but perhaps later down the line?

Obviously, this game is not real life.

However, I have to be careful not to build the solution into the game and "solve it for you."
snip
I want you to solve it, in various ways, because that is interesting.  The game is full of problems for you to solve.  That is all it is.  Problems, and their various solutions, make for interesting stories.  Problems are at the heart of drama.

On the other hand, if it's actually impossible for you to solve, that is a huge problem.

Using the location script is great, but even when I custom server login and return to where I died, nothing is there, no town, no body, even the biome is different... what gives?!

Anyway you could make a youtube tutorial on how to use it Im having trouble with it. Im definitly a visual learner lol

I love the idea of "zombiefied" state. Single grieffer or two trapping 15 people AND FEEDING THEM for 30-60 minutes? Not happening. To borig, to time consuming, to hard to get enouch food solo, to much "gameplay" to ruing someones experience. And in the end you don't really "kill the town". 15 people feeding 2 trapped griefers? Possible without any problems.
We would just need something to keep person in place which can be undone any time with combined effort of at least 2 people.

This would also make it possible to "reeducate" prisoners if they decided to reflect on their actions or release people who are just inexperienced after you cleared all the missunderstandings. Quite good solution for "infinite rebirth".

But I've also like the Karma idea which helps to achieve "banishment from society" without any automated judging - all in hands of people. Let me copy how I extended uppon the karma idea in the "murder thread":

The karma system would be actually a good idea but would need a hard work and a lot of cosideration. It should be both positive and negative. Like "player rating" that can be seen next to name without perfect precision and is only graphically shown on player model if its to low. Some in-game "mini-achievements" like crafting clothes, tools, and other stuff that helps others - could bring it up. Others players (possibly only family members? close relatives? town "wars" concern) should be able to bring it down though. I like the idea of "marking" players (reducing their karma A LOT) with combined effort of entire village. Lets say first one or two marks hardly change your carma but the growth is exponential during lifetime - the more people who "mark" you before you die - the faster your karma drops.

It would also solve problems of "accepting people" to communities. Why was 111 gen possible? Because we discarded people who we were not sure we can trust. Because we had Voice Chat and vouched for each other. Karma would be a little bit like that. That counters the whole "grieffer being reborn over and over again" a lot while still having the uncertainty for most "casual" players with karma in the "middle". I could not continure the "Rose Town" legend anymore with this in place. I would have to wait some time untill karma "decays" back to neutral over time or I would be forced to play alone or with other outcasts to build a "savage community" and progess it crafting usefull stuff untill we get clear. Thats also another point - karma decay over time. It should try to get back to the rest position ("neutral") over extended peroids of time (hours? days?). Decay from negative should be slower than from positive.

With karma system we would still have some "bored" people who made some good deeds and now proceed to "reset" their karma to resting point by griefing but it would reduce their possibility of respawning to finish the job.

This should NOT be a game about mating and consent and all that nonsense---if you don't want to have a baby and some griefer male keeps following you around anyway, and then you have a baby against your will, what just happened?  All that emotional baggage from the real world.  That is not the point of this game, and it would distract from the 10,000-ft view of the human situation that I'm trying to construct here.  I don't want to spawn Even and Adam together and then have Adam chasing Eve around while spam-chatting, "Come closer, honey."

Just wanted to chime in on consent. As long as 'full' females are more likely to have babies than 'hungry' ones (I deliberately stay hungry as a contraceptive) there's nothing stopping a 'griever male' or anyone else, from forcing phallic carrots into my face until a baby appears...."come closer honey."

Not saying it should change, obviously, it's a good mechanic. Just wanted to point out that food rape is a viable way to make babies if your town female is staying hungry because she selfishly wants to smith in peace.

I'm all for nearby males giving a passive increase in fertility as long a male can't bomb women with tons of kids. Would be pretty cool if the closest male to a baby when it's born would become the babies father (As long as the male was old enough, wouldn't want a random kid to become a father.).

yes we really need like 60 different combinations or some unique things like hairstyle at least or unique clothes

Yeah, it's a good idea to have different hairstyles, but the same hair clolour. Then everyone wouldn't look exactly alike.

Is this broken now?

No, I updated the script on the main post to show your true coordinates, rather than the relative ones.

If people are interested, I can have it include both.
