One Hour One Life Forums

Again, I saw that someone was activating dark nasaj sites. This time around I started blocking them with stone corner walls on all for sides to attempt to twart, but there are simply too many of them. Basically, I think it's safe to say now that Jason needs to nerf nosaj as such:

1) Fix the apocalypse warning. And it shouldn't just be one ding for those who are online and that's it. It should be a consistent and steady notice the entire time an endtower is in existence
2) Reduce the number of dark nosaj sites. There are simply so many, it takes no effort to find them. Almost every jungle has one, some jungles have more than one. It's just too common.
3) There should be a way to destroy endstones permanently.
4) There should also be a way to do something with empty endblocks. Griefers run around turning stone blocks into endblocks and there is no way to undo or "fix it" It's just a wasted block that will take up space forever. That's stupid. It would be nice to fix but at least let us destroy it. Use a chisel to make a half stack of cut stones. Put two half stacks together and you can use that to make walls or stone floor. That would make sense, right?

Jason likes to nerf things to make it harder. He can take a go at this. Quite upset.

Instead of hugs, can we have a choke-hold? Like a non lethal way we can put an annoying person on a "timeout" for thirty seconds or so? A choke-hold is just a hug for your neck.

And I do realize the main forge typically is busy, which is why I left the secondary one in the crafting area. Though I only saw anyone use it once. Someone else has since removed it [EDIT: and someone put it back again. lol]. The thing I don't get is why make a forge if there is one already there that isn't being used like, ever? My only guess is it's someone without any zoom mod and they literally have no idea the town already has a half dozen forges.

UPDATE: Jan 26th

I feel I've done everything I can for the city I got going (now the Bell Town, w/ sign MIDVILE(?)). I appreciate whomever fixed that plaster and now someone also has started to paint some plaster yellow, which also helps stop griefers from wrecking walls. If I could request, please make all walls on one building same color! Patchwork is soooo ugly! LOL. Anyway, the beast now grows and changes faster than any one player can keep up, so I shall let my town go now, hoping I laid enough groundwork and it's a strong layout with good bones and get focused on road again.

The sheep pen with the waystones if anyone has noticed lead to four different oil spots. A couple directions have more than one spot near. All told, I believe following those waystones leads to six oil spots within a couple hundred tiles of the bell. Basically enough that this town should be able to keep running for quite some time!

In other news IDK WTF is up with people laying stupid track all over town and removing doors and such to do it. I ripped a ton of it up and others I saw did too. Some track going from sheep pen to kitchen isn't a bad idea, but I couldn't find any logic for most of the other. It's better to lay rail out to one of the oil spots if someone is bored and feels like playing choo-choo boy. In town it just eats up badly needed space to put things down. Otherwise, I say, please help tear up stupid track in town. It's just the latest trend in griefing.

Lastly I'll say: I spent most of this day getting the buildings set up for as were intended. I really don't get how dingle brained some people are. I made a sheep pen. It was clearly a sheep pen. Someone decided to use it as a small kitchen and build a property fence sheep enclosure. That was yesterday and I finally got rid of that and moved all sheep into the good pen. Anyway, A forge area was set up plus two more stone buildings, one as a general workshop and another as a nursery / storage. Well I log in today and someone made the nursery a forge and kitchen, and the workshop a third forge, and others else made no less than three additional forge areas outside town. None of them being used except the first one that I got set up. OMFG! I pickaxed out the nurery and now it's actually being used properly (because I gather all clothes and put then there in the shelves and stocked firewood). The workshop I left the secondary forge because it has some use, but that building finally started being used as a bottleworks, which I like. I originally was going to have a different bottleworks bullding, but people put other things on that land and I'm fine how it is. Maybe tomorrow I'll make one more stone building for general use between some roadwork. Anyway, can someone explain why so many players feel a need to make their own forge to use only once and then bugger off forever? Jeez!

Oh, enough rants. The Greatroad progresses West and now is about 250 tiles West of the Bell. Someone to deliver stones using a horse cart is appreciated. There is lots of desert around headed west, so a black rider would be of great help. Scour the deserts clean! I changed up how I'n laying path. Instead of 4 blanks spaces between tiles I'm trying to do eight. Eight is good because a full cart holds 8 and can just be fully unloaded at each section. Since I'm laying every 8 spaces, it gives me more time to fill in solid chunks anytime I go behind some trees rather than only dropping behind trees and sometimes having just one or two open spaces. My goal is to only leave 8 tile long spaces. If I have to drop less than 8 apart, Imma gonna try to fill it solid. This also given me a little more time to clear the path for the road. Last road a lot of you helped, more than I expected, so I need to move a little faster to stay ahead of y'all.

Also, I cleared about 7 bears and a few wolves west of town. If someone wants to run some patrol and clear out any wolves I missed or bears that would be awesome. The road going East I believe is getting a little rough. I think someone went around and woke up every bear, so dealing with that would be a great thing too.

Thanks road peoples!

For what I'd wish to utilize it for, this would be perfect. Someone could try to plant more near a spring, but they would just wither, or never would produce fruit. Even if the road isn't running right along a faultline, at least a short side path could be made and a waystone dropped that says "Fruit tree this way!"

I very much like this idea, but if Jason where to go this route, I'd suggest he invent some kind of fictional OHOL tree. Like the heart trees from Game of Thrones. Call it a Lifewood tree, or Rareberry tree, or whatever! It could look like anything he wanted it to look like. Maybe they even take like 10 hours from planting before mature (but hopefully fruit would come faster than that after mature, or it wouldn't be helpful really). With a made up tree unique to OHOL that kinda could be something original and iconic about the game, and then nobody can complain about whatever rules it has because it's whatever Jason says it is.

So I did a lot of work on the town where the bell tower (almost complete) is attached to the stone sheep pen. I made both the sheep pen and the goose pen, Made all walls and doors in the kitchen, made the well, laid all pine needles between crops, planted all gooseberry patches, built two other large stone buildings and put in all adobe walls, plus about three more doors and laid road thru town and plastered the adobe walls.

And then some asshat just removed all the plaster while I was filling water buchets. It took all day to get all that plaster made! Argggh!

Please, can someone get more plaster made and put plaster back on the adobe walls. Hang a few wall shelves too if you can. I need to sleep and I can't get to it.

The problem is it's the badlands areas that usually are where road travelers are bound to starve. Due to chance, sometimes it can go on quite a ways before getting back to greenlands.

I have considered locked boxes with Gooseberry seeds / Bucket of water / 2 Baskets soil - Then occasionally I could come along with a hoe, bowl, & flint chip and just replant any berry bushes that got overpicked and died or freshen up ones that are semi picked.

I'm pretty sure the first guy to walk by each one would just strip it and they wouldn't last long.

I don't want a return to the mango. If cherries were both slow and low food value I don't see much risk of the being abused. How many players are going to run down a row picking 8 cherries to get 8 food when they can just eat one pie or two berries. The time involved should make most not want to bother unless they literally only need 1 pip.

I was able to use family data to get a rough idea what the distance is between the two groups. It seems like around 6000 I agree, with about a 300 tile north/south distance too. Basically, not that close.

Also, just to be certain, is the 0 latitude coord on the graticule actually Jason's 0? Does it line up with what the monument positions say on the monument history page?

Quick reply to Ollj: Nada to aregue about. I'm doing the most work on road building and if you get ahead of me on a MAIN ROAD and you don't keep it flat and straight, I will just rip it up. You decide the level of your own time you feel like wasting.

IT'S THE END OF THE WORLD AS WE KNOW IT, AND I FEEL FINE!!

So apocalypse came down. I knew one was coming soom because since I'm all over the countryside, I've seen the nosaj relics being used lately (I still haven't noticed any warnings as to the stages underway. You get so many "dings" over stuff that doesn't matter, I guess I've tuned it out).

I have a question for WONDIBLE: In regards to your world map, after the apoc, does that show the correct world data or are we still seeing the old world, just now blank and NOT the new world? I can't find any settlements appearing.

JAN 23 UPDATE:

I know the following:
#1) The Whites (Meagle) are about 500 East and 100 North of the Gingers (Connell)
#2) The Browns (Sauler) are about 250 East and 100 North of the Blacks (Wolf)

At least those are some of their main towns. Where each of #1) and #2) are in relation to each other, IDK. I've started road out of Connell town east and west.

...also Dude, Eskimo is not the prefered nomenclature. Inuit, please.

Horse blinkers are so people can tell if you're turning left or right on your horse.
