Stay cool, ma dudes!
Ily all
Looks like we have been in the same fam again.
I was one of the founding Masters. My mom and Eve Eartman stumbled upon this abandoned place and decided to work together and make it bustle.
My name was Max Master.
I married one of your great great greats name Smaran and we had several children.
I respawned hours later as an Earthman.
It was really nice to see the town still bustling. I was the nameless son of Love Earthmen.
~ see ya fam
Did this family tree section on the main site get added recently?
Maybe I'm blind.
Anyway... nice to look at for the people on this thread
Were you Venus?
I was Antonio. In reality I was nameless. My birth mother either didn't care about me at all, starved or was killed by a wild animal.
Venus looked after me and made me feel loved.
I felt it was only right that she be the one that named me. She said she had a list of Mafia names lol
She called me Antonio.
Venus, ma, if you're out there, I love you. The pie I made you before your passing (the one with custom
gourmet gravy and some of my tears which happened to be your favorite lol) was the best and last pie I ever made.
I was no longer inspired as my muse was gone.
Years later I was near old age and I gave your quality white hat to your son Gamble. I told him it was yours and to
wear it with pride.
I just wanted to be with you again so I went off and left the world. I died happy to have had a mother after all.
~Your son Antonio
I admit that I thought the thread called "Missed Connections" was about those that lost
their internet connection while playing the game or can no longer get into their account or something like that.
I don't know maybe they needed help trying to get back on the servers? So I've never looked at it until today.
I now feel really stupid lol
Hey kids, it's your mom. Edward, your name was actually Greg Grace the second. I even remember bringing you guys berries as Grace was telling you she was starving. I had four kids: two Grace's and two Gregs. How come I had four kids and Grace had none? Doesn't seem fair, does it?
Oops!
Sorry I forgot my name mom. lol
I was ready to work hard and live for your legacy.
Sadly I left you all too soon.
~Greg II
Sis its me. What was my name... Edward??? I can't remember. But she said I was the second. A brother of yours. I said "hi" to you after I was born and you said "Hi Bro. About to Die"
Thankfully mom, Eve Grace, came and gave you something. Then we talked by the fire about how long I've been playing and we shared our forum names.
Sorry bro. Once I was 3 and both of us asked mom what she needed (mom told us she needed "Everything") I died somewhere in the grassland. I just couldn't find food. I took a snack but it didn't get me back home. Noob move I guess.
Anyway, nice to see you again Grace Grace.
I just played as the daughter of a Queen. My name was Britney (my mom prefered Britni) Morgan.
I received her crown upon her passing.
I had many children in my lifetime! I've never had so many since I've started playing OHOL until today.
To my children:
1.) Anastasia- You made me smile with your ooos and aahhhs during your personal town tour after your birth. But where did you go my sweet first born? I lost you after your teenage years.
2.) Townes- My pie-making expert. She took on that job after my reign began. Also, my heir. I hope your reign was a peaceful one.
3.) Thian- Born to guard. She was ready to protect the village with her life. Thank you for working with Jack so well!
4.) Charles- You never took a day off. Always helping everyone. Thank you. Did you ever make gravy for that goose my son?
5.) Phillip- Thank you for working hard for the town. You made me proud.
6.) Taahir- My quiet wondering child. Did you live an adventurous life after I passed?
7.) Jordan- You were named after my loving brother from the west. I hope you realized that.
8.) Romanov- I lost you too early my son.
9.) Edward- Did you live happily?
10.) Sophia- I know Lily passed on her industriousness to you. Thank you for working the farm.
To my family:
1.) Jack- The loyal guard and friend. You gave me the news of my mom's passing and handing me her crown. That touching moment bonded us forever.
2.) Lily- Hard working her whole life! Thank you for teaching Sophia to be a good farmer. You were beautiful even as gray.
3.) Jorden- How nice of you to travel from the west in your old age to convey their love! Our distant family was reunited in that short time my brother.
4.) Grandchildren- GamGam loved hugging and kissing you all!
Queen Mom- Special thanks to you. I wasn't sure I could wear the crown. I found it heavy and too polished for a farm child like me. But when you reassured me that I was ready I could not deny you. Mom, my motto was, "Rule with knowledge, respect and without tyranny". I truly hope the towns people feel that I did so. I did my best to oversee all the goings on. I also made sure to encourage or praise when due. Family from the west visited us and it brought great happiness and a productive boost as well. I was reminded of you all the time. Thank you for trusting me.
To the griefer:
Poppy- When I was still a baby I caught you making a weapon in the woods... I kept you on my radar as Queen. I'm glad you didn't last long.
Faithfully,
Queen Britney Morgan
I wont be returning to the main server anytime soon.
That's sad. I really like reading your stories. I think you play in such a neat way. You seem like an
interesting person and it shows in your gameplay. It would be cool to be your baby or mother one day.
-----I came back and edited this post. I removed a story about a negative experience I had in the game. Rather
keep my post more on the positive side I think. These four sentences have replace that story.-----
I don't blame you for taking a break. It can be a downer. Griefers, murderers... We can ignore it best we can or stop playing.
I also think Jason must be working to improve this part of game play. I believe he would. He cares about his game.
He might not eliminate everything we are talking about here but with the help of suggestions maybe something will
be done help us out sooner rather than later.
Might have been Amazonia.
I will tell you guys what happened yesterday from my point of view.
I was born there yesterday during the reign of an old queen. They actively and happily killed all boys born for their god.
I had only heard of this kind of village. It was new to view it all first hand.
I was a growing girl working on the farm, watched all of this thinking, "the moment I have a son I'm
going to run out of this village!" So I secretly prepared a little basket of pies.
A new queen was chosen. Her name was Helen. All mothers that gave birth to boys stood in line at the sacrifice area. They willingly gave him to the queen's knife. They kept killing boys without remorse. You couldn't remove the murdered bodies. The town was littered
with blood and bones. They had two gigantic graveyards full of old dry bones.
The day came when I had a son. I took him away and told him everything. He thanked me. But two ladies found us so I couldn't go and get the basket of pies I had in storage for this very moment...
So I ran with my baby into the woods with nothing.
We ran into a relative named Juan...a male... in the woods too. I wondered how he survived. Maybe his mom did the same thing I'm doing. I said, "Juan how did you survive out here?!". But once he saw us he ran away.
I was able to raise my son until he was three and I knew I would die of starvation. I died telling him that I'm sorry I couldn't do more for him.
I think what they were doing at Amazonia was horrible. What if a male you killed is re-spawned as a female and gets revenge? Or what if you are ruining the future of the town by having unchecked amounted of fertile people in your village? Soon your food will run out. Isn't that obvious? Maybe they didn't care. They just seemed to like killing.
I've been playing this game a while now and I'm running into so many mean players lately on OHOL. They just seem mad at everyone. Of course nothing can be done about it. I don't expect anyone to care. I'm just venting I guess...
They weren't a griefer but griefers are not the only ones that can spoil the fun of the game.
Just going around calling people the "n" word and stuff like that.
I usually just kill myself in the woods to respawn some where else.
Again, I don't expect anyone to care.
This is when I go over to 2HOL for a while.
That's messed up.
But it was still funny XD
What we actually need to do is to inform all non-Q players that they will benefit by reading the forums. The knowledge they could find here will help them build the confidence necessary to contribute to their civilizations. Encourage them to give it a glance.
This is good.
Only for some it may break the forth wall so to speak lol
But this is such a good idea I think I will start doing this if I give birth
to a new player or am born from one.
Voted on all. This was a good idea.
Both OHOL and THOL has their charms.
What a great read!
Dana, I wonder if you were the one who tried to kill me today but accidentally shot another boy who looked exactly like me. With a bow and arrow?
It might not be. But the village you talked about in the North sounds familiar. Were we all wearing fluffy sheep puffs?
Grandma was telling us little ones to watch out for her pet snake. Never found out it had a name though.
There was someone there who thought I was new and ate seedling carrots. She wouldn't believe me no matter what I said. I kept telling her I wasn't new. She asked what my name was and I said "Pronghorn". Then I decided to take a basket of water pouches to the pond to water the garden. When I got back there had been a murder. Then she was telling the others that she didn't mean to kill the boy. She meant to kill me. She said "see, him that one below me".
I decided I was unwanted and I took off my clothes, ran away to starve alone behind a tree.
It might not have been you at all. Just asking. Could have been another person.
Anyway, I had a similar day as you today. Felt like the fun was a low today. Mostly spawned as Eves or the baby of an Eve trying to survive but not in that "that was a good challenge" kind of way. Maybe tomorrow will be different. A different mix of people may play and it will be more fun.
You know, I feel the same in that I play the game and role-play as mother too. Its nice I think.
I like greek style names such as Octavia and Augustus.
But also when I'm in the mood for fun I name them after foods. My recent last name was Butterfield and I tried to name one baby Jelly (it got renamed to Jeliya or something) and another baby Peanut (renamed to something else too). That would have been fun if the names stuck.
Then there are times I'm feeling sentimental and name them things like Promise, Love or Precious.
I just had this baby 4 times in one lifetime. I was really tired of this person.
I gave birth to a baby like this 4 times in 1 life/hour.
