One Hour One Life Forums

Whenever I'm planning on living in a other town as another race I usually follow someone in town so I can't be killed over some dumb racist ideas. Just make sure you /unfollow first so you don't grief leadership for your fam on accident

I'mma just copy and paste stuff cause I'm lazy.

Race restrictions.
Families and biomes are race locked. Each family has to stay within their bands on the map or else they can't have kids.
Races and Bands
Arctic experts / ginger family   the only people who can interact with objects inside the arctic biome.

Language experts / white family   the only people who understand the language of every other fam immediately.  Do not have a biome.

Jungle experts / brown family   the only people who can interact with items inside a jungle biome.

Desert experts / black family   the only people who can interact with items inside a desert biome.

The bands (arctic, mountain, jungle, and desert) spawn in this order from north to south.  Each race is only fertile in their band.

The Super Complicated Iron System
To loosen a muddy iron vein, you must be the first person in the family to do so.  Usually, this is done by an eve or one of her children, but there is a chance that an older family didn’t spend their iron mine, if they moved into an old town.  To loosen a vein, you must put 10 round stones on a wet natural spring.  This is also the first step to making a well.  After you put the stones down, that spring site is claimed by your family, and if you are the first person to do so, the iron mines directly east and west of it will open up.  Follow the spring line into the gray biome to check for nearby iron veins.  The spring with stones will loosen up to four veins east and four veins west.

Leadership! Leaders are incredibly important to your town. They can give you orders, they can be a waypoint for you, and they can kill griefers.

So how do you get leadership? Well it's VERY complicated (as everything is in this stupid game) as becoming leader is tied to your GENETIC FITNESS score. What is genetic fitness? WELL lemme do my absolute best to explain.

So a brand new account has an average life of 30 years old. Your average age is your goal line. If you live over 30 years old you will gain points and your average age will increase, and if you die before 30 you lose points and your average age goes down. Sounds simple? HA. Not only does your lives count, but your closest family members lives count towards your score as well! Your children, your mother, your grandmother, your siblings, and nieces and nephews all count towards your score. If they live/die before your average age they will give/drain you points. So basically it's very difficult to gain score. It requires you to be aware of your family members and do your best to keep them alive. Everytime a baby that counts for your score is born you'll get a message that says "A new offspring baby is born x meters away". You'll also see FAMILY above the heads of family members that count for you too. Babies that die of SIDS do not count towards your score.

You can see the leaderboards here. The names it assigns everyone is completely random.

SO ANYWAYS. LEADERSHIP. If your genetic fitness is high you have a very high chance of being randomly assigned leader after your current leader dies. As leader you can issue orders to your followers by saying "Order, blahblahblah". Your followers will see your message in the top left hand of their screen. This is a very good way of spreading information throughout your town. It's a good way to assign jobs, and ask for help. It's very very important. Leaders are also the only way to kill people. A leader can "exile" somebody from town and once that person is exiled they can be freely killed by anyone. This is why having a good leader is important. If someone is accused of griefing a leader should immediately exile them. They will always lie and say they didn't do it, so talking to them does nothing. It's better to kill and move on. Another thing leaders are good for is being a global waypoint for you. If you type /leader you will get an arrow leading to your leader. If you're ever lost this is a good way to find home. This also means if you're leader it is your duty to stay in town. Delegate outside town jobs to others.

Now leadership can also be passed on. You can choose who will become leader next, BUT this is VERY VERY VERY BAD. Leadership is so important and giving it to a random person can kill families. If they're evil they can kill everyone, if they're stupid they will let a griefer run rampant. It's better to let the game decide who will be the leader. I've never seen anyone ask for leadership be good. Asking for leadership is a known bad sign and people who do are usually cursed. If you do find yourself with a bad leader you can say "/unfollow" to not follow them anymore.

Anyways, that's the basics of leadership.

Food gets worse the further fams survive too. So yumming is vital. Can't break yum chains anymore.

Pleated Skirts are the best clothes don't @ me

Everytime I play the game I have to break out my alt account to save a family. Worst thing is that families will be spawning boys when they're on the brink of death. I don't know what's wrong with this game but it's beyond broken. Leaderboard is a whole other mess right now. People who had played 2 lives total are getting leadership while others with very high gene scores get passed over.

Games broken.

Isn't calling someone else out on the forums bannable? Remember when spoon called out that one person and was banned for a few weeks?

Can you guys just like, not spam? Everyone just thinks you're annoying.

I'd personally like an upgrade to current tech. A better oven and Forge for a start. A new way to start a fire, and a new heating item. Imagine having like a furnace or something that doesn't need wood every 4 minutes.

I'd really like clothes that help with heat resistance. The gingers can live in the snow, why can't the blacks live in the desert?

I'd also like the new female models already. Blacks and gingers only have 2 female models and it's dry as hell.

I also think if Jason wants us to trade he needs to add a dedicated trading system. People die out way too fast for trade to work. You can make a trade deal with a family and return to find the person you talked to dead, and no one knows what you're talking about. I'm thinking of something like Rust shops players can create to trade while they aren't there. The leader could set up a shop and set a price and bam, trading can happen at anytime without the need for people.

We NEED a better way to deliver horses to families. Having to ride a horse 1-2k away then LEAVE it there and walk back is insanity. He did not think this through, which is why everyone's horses are always getting stolen.

Or you know, remove race restrictions

No.

Who gives a fuck about sports? we're gamers

Everyone shut the hell up

I am personally glad psuedo Eve's can't exist anymore. It was so frustrating that people would leave a perfectly good town just because they wanted to go back and play in the mud for 30 mins. 90% of them had no idea how to make a good town aswell so it was literally just their kids carrying them. They're selfish and their fun out weights everyone else's fun. Their kids often died too because of lack of food and they'd kill off the family.

I hate fake Eve's.

Spoon's that kid that takes things way too literally. Ask him not to eat all the chips and he'll leave 1 and make a 5 page essay explaining that he didn't eat them all.

god i fucking hate this place
