I'm serious, iPhones kind of are the pinnacle of modern technology, at least as far as personal items go

They're more than messengers. They're general purpose personal mobile computing devices with touch UI, which is also general purpose and the reason iPhones were such a breakthrough.

Do you by any chance know how many generations it took for the hierarchy to fall apart?

Does the town have a name?

It's easy to forget, but nowhere in the "a game of parenting and civilization building" does it say that parenting or civilization building is supposed to be successful or pretty!

Other than that, I agree

The interesting part is killing someone in return once the killings have started. In a typical revenge kill chain you want to be the last killer.

The more people die, the more concerned the living players are about the whole town dying out. So you want to pick a moment when there's still enough chaos that they won't be sure that you're just an opportunist, but at the same time they should be concerned enough about stopping the chain that the next opportunist won't risk killing you.

And of course the presence of medics makes it way more interesting.

Someone should make it into a board game.

Ah, right. I somehow forgot that they can't move on clutter.

Well, let's call them mosquito tornadoes. They'll move one tile only, but displace items in their path.

Another problem is that there are more Eves than there are players for populating towns.

Maybe the server should only spawn Eves when there are not enough towns for the current player count.

But do they? What are those reasons?

Remember that the reason must apply to the society as a whole, not just the owner who privatizes stuff. Even in OHOL players think that "property is theft" and lynch fence owners.

That's what I'm saying.

It's not that searching becomes faster per se. It's that in most cases you don't need to search because you know that no one has moved the item since the last time you saw it.

Just having more objects would make it harder to find stuff. Or we could have opaque containers that have to be opened individually and can't be checked just by looking at them.

We have property fences, they work well enough when you want to make a large number of items private.

Um, sorry, but I think you failed to read what I wrote correctly and I don't feel like correcting you would be a good use of my time, so I'll wait and see if anyone else will interpret it the same way.

Where do you draw the line between existence and nonexistence for these things?

Both are essentially about being able to control the world around you. Ownership is about being able to control items, while government is about being able to control people's actions.
A warrior owns the stone spear as long as the spear can't be taken by anyone else, and as long as the warrior can throw it away.
A father governs his child when he can take the toy away from her.

Both are variations of the concept of having power over the world. I'm pretty sure the understanding of ownership and governance developed in parallel.

Wtf? "News" is by definition information about current events.
