One Hour One Life Forums

A week really? I'm surprised you can eve in your first week. In my first week, I still took five minutes to build a fire. Good job Starknight_One.

It makes more sense that you would favor girls now. Eveing is hard for new players, especially with a large family to feed.

Isn't that the worse. Believe me, I feel your pain.

I once found a perfect paradise of a spot. Seriously, it was a paradise. There was a nice desert next to TONS of ponds. More ponds than we would ever need. You could turn half of them to wells and still feed 30+ people with the eggs available.

There was green, mountains, and plains nearby. The green had many, many maples. This was before the tree farm update, so that was extremely important. The plains had enough rabbits to clothe a city. The mountains had two iron veins.

I had around ten children due to the good temp my camp was on, but most suicided. I had only one son live to adulthood. It was so disheartening.

Maybe it was because the green wasn't within view of my camp. If they would have stayed they would have seen that it was only one or two screens away and we had enough omletes that it didn't need to be closer. I even planted a nice berry farm to try to convince them to stay. The berry farm wouldn't have even been needed until we got sheep because of our never ending supply of eggs. *Sigh*

This makes me so happy! Now I can keep playing if I disconnect for some reason. It was awful to be the last girl and to suddenly get the disconnect screen. I felt so bad, but it was out of my control.

Have you tried reinstalling the game? Every once in a while my game will start doing odd things and reinstalling fixes them without fail.

The best way to balance this is is to add the missing characters.

I see no reason to add any kind of racial advantages in this game. And in the case of carrying a baby and large objects, that was due to culture, not race. OHOL has a culture all of it's own.

That would be kind of unrealistic though. Plants 'eat' nutrients from the soil. Planting a crop in a certain spot constantly without replenishing those nutrients would leave the land barren.

There are ways around this though. Some have planted in flood plains. Floods fertilize the soil every year. You can also intelligently alternate plants. Say plant #1 used nutrient A and releases nutrient B into the soil, and plant #2 uses nutrient B and releases nutrient A into the soil. Alternating between these two crops will allow you to go longer without adding some kind of fertilizer.

My town eve spawns always die off early in my experience. I've never had a town spawn lineage last longer than 15 generations. Maybe they are just more susceptible to greifing early on. People do grief more in towns than in camps.

How many people did you upset?

I remember once when someone was stupid enough to kill people in broad daylight with witnesses around, yet skilled enough to avoid being killed himself. That's a bad combination. I think he finally died of hunger or disconnect or something, but the point is that people were upset enough that he was being cursed for generations. Seriously, people were raising their kids telling them about this guy and telling them to curse him when they grew, and many did.

Basically, if you don't want to be cursed, be smart about it. Don't be that guy.

Also, I love they donkey town update. The game has been a lot more friendly and community oriented. The black text simply didn't solve anything. It was too easy to kill a lineage and there wasn't enough other players could do about it. The black text wasn't really a punishment in any way, so cursing someone was almost pointless.

Personally, if people who enjoy destroying hours of other people's work decide to stop playing because of this update, then I count that as a bonus.

I think it would be a good idea to look into it.

Not only will people on steam possibly face issues with uploading to YouTube, there are people in a lot of different circumstances that would encourage them to use a no nudity mod.

The problem I had was that there were many times when I was playing around other people's children. I don't have the right to make those kinds of parenting decisions for them. I used the no nudity mod to avoid the issue entirely.

It is up to you of course. I'm just afraid you may turn some away if it isn't an option.

Wait... I think we misunderstood each other somewhere.

In my last post, I was merely replying to sovietico21's post where he claimed that he felt people with zoom mods were stealing his jobs. I replied by saying that the only time that may be the case is when resources are needed quickly to prevent a camp from dying out. In that case it isn't uncommon for multiple people to search for said resouce.

While rereading my post, I realized that it could be interpreted to mean that you should send the person with zoom mod to search for the resource rather than someone without. That wasn't what I meant. I meant that in emergency situations it isn't uncommon for multiple people to do the same job at the same time.

A person with zoom mod will likely finish first, but that doesn't mean that the efforts made by the person not using a mod weren't worthwhile. In the situation with the iron, both will still come back with iron, and all iron collected will be needed.

And why assume everyone is using a zoom mod to be lazy? Like I said in an earlier post, I personally use a zoom mod to fix a problem I have with unavoidable death. I don't use it to make the game easy. I actually love challenging games. The other 'benefits' of a zoom mod that make the game easier are actually a compromise for me. I would rather not have an easy game. I want a challenging game. I simply believe unavoidable deaths break a game. I enjoy this game so I needed a way to fix my problem so that I wouldn't have to drop it, and a small zoom mod did this for me.

Also, you claimed we are invulnerable. I'm a little confused by what you meant by this. Invulnerable means you can't be harmed. Why can't we be harmed?

But a person using zoom mod can't do everything themselves... They do tend to be better at scouting and finding resources, but that doesn't prevent you from doing those jobs or others. There are always jobs to be done. No one is stopping you from taking part in the action.

Say you are in an early-ish camp and see that people need packs. You tell people you plan to trap rabbits and set out to do so. Now others with a zoom mod are unlikely to trap rabbits themselves as they know someone else already is. They will most likely set out to do other tasks that need to be done. Nothing they do will interfere with you trapping rabbits and making packs.

The only time I can think of where that may not be the case is when things are desperately needed, like iron in early camp. Then, it isn't uncommon for 2 or more people, with or without zoom mod to go out searching. (Whether that is the best strategy or not is debatable, but that is another discussion) A person with zoom mod may return faster, but that doesn't mean the iron you collect wasn't worth your time or effort. The camp still needs it. As long as no one died along the way, neither you nor the person using a zoom mod was a disadvantage to the camp.

I myself have never felt like a person with a zoom mod was stealing my job while playing with the default view. In my experience, people don't usually set out to do jobs that others already have covered.

People keep saying this, but I've never had any problems result from killing someone who wants a lineage ban. Seriously, I've never had any drama result from killing someone who wants to die. Maybe it's because I always make sure to have a few witnesses around to back me up when people start asking questions. I've said it before and I know there are those who disagree, but I still believe it is better to kill someone when they ask. It helps prevent them from having to resort to griefing to get their ban. Even if they wouldn't grief, it still saves the town from being littered with their bones every time they suicide as a baby.

Also, sorry that you got wrongly accused and killed. It happens to the best of us. Were you holding a loaded bow around other people? If so, it may be why you got killed. It makes people nervous. There is nothing stopping you from shooting one of them.
