One Hour One Life Forums

Worst is when someone
A: takes medical needle and thread and either uses them up or leaves them in some random place.
B: moves the pad bowl or takes all the pads in their apron.

This literally kills people. A med station can get its own. Leave the backup pads alone, it’s fine to have both.

These ones are pretty much mine, too.

These, and when a newbie doesn’t ask about things but just does stuff and takes stuff. And when people don’t return items they took, or don’t go and retrieve the stuff.

When people cover kiln although I was going to dry pottery.

Claustrophobic spaces and towns, they make me want to live in the oil rigs, where I often raise my kids nowadays.

People who prioritize wrong stuff, like making a tiny building when the town is in a water crisis, needing buckets/milkweed/iron etc.

Would be fun to groom yourself, shave a beard, put on a manbun, grow out your hair, put it on a ponytail or in a braid... comb it, style it with gel. Dye hair... dye beard... dreadlocks, beads...

Feuers and Goldys died out in one of the double bell tower cities like two hours ago. The one with the southern "CLOTHES" building (empty), stone walled graveyard and a northeastern oil rig. It's been a town for so many families; Whislers, Fawns, Feuers, Goldys, even some Deltoro grave was there.

I left some rose seeds north of the stone wall graveyard, if someone would like to try planting them. I died there as Elah Goldy, I was making notes to help people find the oil rig. I made the path there as Bob Whisler, few days ago.

Will be looking for the map picture if someone posts it, if not, I may try to do it.

EDIT: tried those coordinates, couldn't confirm if it was the A/B or C/D Bells town, it got bells really late so maybe C/D? This is what Bob's coordinates give me. Elah Goldy died above the two bells 2h ago, Bob Whisler died there 3 days ago. Gibran Whisler too.
There was two complete bell towers, and one was just a tower.

I agree. I'm so disappointed, and so tired, seeing this repeat again and again. I guess a band of kids found the game via those "funny war videos" and now tirelessly grind the genocide simulator as their summer holidays draw to an end.

Just now the Versace family has like three person wanting to go kill some family. I think the Skyers family, redheads.
I hid the steel pipes but they made more. Two guys were super into the genocide thing, a third (old) guy stabbed an unarmed random Skyers guy, and a lady wanted to go to war-- genocide, too. The Skyers family never attacked the Versace, nor stole anything, so they're going aggro for no other reason than "loose gingers".

Sad, yet funny thing was, the guy who wanted to start the killing didn't know how to make a bucket, yet he knew how to make swords. Really shows what the priority for some noobs is right now. So disappointing.

I also cursed the old guy stabbing the unarmed foreigner. That was unfair and I stand behind my curse. Although maybe my little brother deserved it the most. Crown wearing, traitor shouting brat. I hope he dies quick in the genocide. They really tried to roleplay hard against me. "Watch out for Foday. He is a traitor."

The Versace town was suffering as these berry-munching noobs tried to get swords made. Berries languished, stew farm was dying, fire was going out, compost was getting low, tools were getting low, iron was getting low, kerosene was running out, nobody worked the oil rig. We didn't even have horses or doors, not even mentioning spring doors. The sword-fanatics ran around stealing the bucket from the farms, munched on berries, talked and talked, did this gossip roleplay, did racist roleplay, zero work. Aside from one baking a pie in the oven and slicing bread.
It all started with the guy who can't make buckets saying, "I will be king".

Anyways, Foday Versace, out.

Yep, I agree.

I’m all in for positive RP. The most recent RP I was carefully invited in was by a baby, who I grew up with. He would make faces at me, and we made faces until we grew hair. We promised to be friends, and he said he’d go farm. I found an oil rig camp north, and got drawn to it; the town was a bit crowded so I enjoyed the quiet. I would make oil and collect branches I’d chop into kindling and stack at the oil rig camp. They’d be easy to be brought in to the town, too. I had made my own hatchet and stuffed kindling into my backpack and basket as I roamed around pulling (mostly yew) branches off the plentiful trees. My friend managed to find me there, he was impressed I got into working with oil.
Later on I started birthing children and sent them on their way to the town from my northern camp. As I held my third baby by the oil rig bonfire, my childhood friend walks into my camp, excited to find me again. He held a dress, giving it to me (he was a town shepherd). It was very sweet, and thoughtful. His brother walked in on us and fanboyed over us, saying ”just kiss already”. That was funny. Ofc we wrote lil’ kisses to each other. He told me the town is doing fine as ever, so that was good to know. Named my son to match his name, and then we parted ways again. Briefly I managed to teach my newbie daughter smithing, too.
In the end, he had to leave, so I said my love yous and goodbyes and told him I’d bury him and make a note for him. I buried him in the oil rig camp, leaving a note on his grave. I barely managed to do it, but I did, and died right after. Got some extra flat rocks for the town, too.

It was great, two effective players giving each other a bit of special attention, praising each other and overall being the little color in each others’ lives. A kindling maiden and a shepherd.

I personally don't travel during fertile age, but yes, dropping a horsecart to a tiny biome should keep it there, and you can drop the baby to the town.
In some rare occasions I have traveled during fertile age, I look for a small spot to raise my kids in, and hope I get a break where I can move back to the town and my kids have baskets of food and a direction to run to.

About babies in backpacks, slings and carts: I think there is a hurdle in the coding side of things. When player is riding a horse, they are just carrying the horse, technically speaking. So somehow it should count as the mom carrying a horse and a baby. Or, if you place the baby in the cart or the backpack, it'd need to count as an object momentarily. That could cause issues. I don't know if it will, but I'd imagine making a player an object to hold momentarily could cause issues.
Can the baby jump out of the backpack/cart? How does the game work with carrying aspect? Should moms have a carrying slot like extra pair of hands if they have a sling or backpack on them? Can it be coded like that? Or is the true reason we have no slings or baby carts just the infamous line of "children are supposed to be a sacrifice"?

What I mean with "broken curse system" is that you cannot curse foreigners anymore, and twins/triples/quadruplets are too hard to counter for players to be brave enough to always raise them. They need a weakness to their numbers, such as a curse afflicting all of them or them all dying to the "broken heart" when one dies; you know, the thing Jason almost implemented back in the days... Right now their power has zero weaknesses, so raising a bad bunch is catasrophic. This makes players less interested in raising multiples, as they can ruin a place so easily. This is not normal when it comes to parenting, a parent should be happy but concerned when multiples are born in a way of "can I keep them all alive?", not "will these babies start making weapons the moment they get to the age to hold a bow or a knife?". It's a loophole griefers can and do use, and that ruins good multiples' gaming experiences. If there was a weakness, griefers would think twice when using multiples as a way to "power-grief".

Back to the topic: I don't understand why people keep throwing around "maximum efficiency" even though not a single soul here was talking about being efficient. We were talking about how defending murderers is not okay, and we can see that's because A: the dev doesn't want roleplay, but actual gameplay reasons for murder, and B: people who have no interest being involved in some roleplayers' roleplay get pulled in, never wanting that in the first place, and they get their gaming session ruined because someone thought their enjoyment is above someone else's. And C: roleplayers can doom a lineage with simply roleplaying in a harmful way, so defending pointless murder is harmful (and that's not needed; what is needed is actual reasons aside roleplaying to kill things).

Firstly, nobody should ever believe their fun is above others, and that goes ALL WAYS. If someone is all in with you stabbing them, then go and have your stab fest. Don't pull innocents in your drama if they want nothing to do with it; don't push your drama onto others. That's you taking your fun above others' enjoyment, and setting rules what is fun, without considering if that is actually fun to others.
One special case is if you or your buddy are last females, then you gotta push your stab fest to older age - if you want to be mindful and a good sport for others, that is. It didn't prevent your fun, but by being mindful you can have your fun at the right time so it hurts nobody, and everyone gets a good result in the end.

Secondly, there are different players, and we need to be mindful enough to not ruin people's fun on both sides. A minmaxer should not go stab a noob because their yum chain got reset by them. A minmaxer shouldn't stab a harmless roleplayer who is occasionally chatting with someone else, but not doing harm. A roleplayer should not go stab a person because the town is too quiet. A roleplayer shouldn't stab a baby because they roleplay as a baby killer. Minmaxers cannot expect 100% efficiency in a life, and a roleplayer cannot expect to be able to do whatever they want in a life, because actions have consequences in multiplayer games and you need to be able to have enough awareness to not ruin others' games, so no pushing your story onto others or harming their experience (that's the literal definition of a griefer, sabotaging/harming your teammates, your fellow players).

Only murders you should defend are murders where there is a bunch of people, the murderer and the victim, who are all okay with this happening. And as it happens, it doesn't have a catastrophic impact on the town or the lineage, as that would sour the fun of the other players there. However, currently murderers and killers don't give a crap what others feel and experience, and do what they damn well please. And that drives away the other half or so players, which is not okay, as that is killing the game.

Also thanks Leonard for pointing our the hypocrisy, it was unbearable there. Glad I didn't have to point it out.

One or two bad apples and you grief the place?

Aaand there it is. Such narcissism. "Their fault! Your fault! You deserve it!"

You enable these situations, it is not needed to poke at beehives like that; shouting genocide time and deeming that nobody is making food. What if there was a griefer hiding foods? What if the town was in a delicate balance of food where it gets constantly consumed?

Anyways, at least I managed to teach a newbie today. One more stew farmer and pottery maker is in the community.

I lost such a nice camp spot when my three surviving daughters died before getting to fertile age, it was sad. I wish I could've gone back there, I really liked the place. My camp was surrounded by wild berry bushes, and yet, all my girls starved, with a bunch of berry bushes left unpicked...

I wish I could've taught them, but there is only so much I can do for their survival. In my lonesome, I crafted an axe and chopped my way to the twin iron veins, hoping some other camp finds those, at least.

Anyways, perhaps the game is at the constant stage of newbies due to the high rate of people leaving, so those who could've been the next above average players, have already moved on. I don't know. I only know that the game is brutal for first time user experience. Although really cool, too.

I don’t like war swords. They are just giving extra power to griefers who will always mindlessly kill everyone they can. And they are safe from cursing while they are at it.
Because magic and stream sniping.

I wonder if it’s a rich dynamic that you can juggle out a bloodied sword and stack hits on a player.
