One Hour One Life Forums

Maybe it's just this? We humans enjoy different foods, just for the simple joy of it. I'm sure this ties into the concept of palate fatigue, but our species is so easily captured by novelty, that sometimes we like something simply because it is new or different or our favorite.

I think that what this comes down to is the constant debate over the best/most efficient playstyles. Some people are very much attached to their own ideologies. When a baby types "Q" they have no idea whether this forum person is someone who matches their playstyle, is one of the famous forum griefers, etc.

It doesn't bother me too much, because I often don't use "Q". I'm pretty adaptable and will try to fit myself in wherever I am comfortable.

...

I've never used "X" for that! I'm going to try. I usually type "BH" or "B".

...

I agree about this. If I'm Eve or in a small camp, I've got shit to do!! If baby doesn't follow me, baby has a great chance of dying of starvation. I'll try my best to save them if they show me they want to live or want to learn. I usually give them a few chances and try to figure out how experienced they are.

If they are constantly clicking out of my arms, run away multiple times after being put on a good temp square, or spam "F", I don't usually bother. They end up being trouble mostly.

Be careful with "Q"!

I've been killed as a baby for saying "Q". There are some people who believe that we on the forums are trouble-makers or bad players and they will just off us the first chance they get.

I believe the cisterns hold quite a bit more now.

Others have been saying that with the introduction of the new food sources (especially popcorn bowls) there has been less stress placed on feeding so that players are now feeling that they have more opportunities to communicate with each other.

Additionally, I believe buckets now hold 10 water, which you need to use a bowl or pouch to access. But, in this way a cart with 4 buckets can hold 40 water. Just ONE cart!

Maybe I'm just excited to have a change of pace in the game. It felt stagnate to me these last two or three weeks. That could be clouding my judgment a little, making me a little too optimistic.

I'll give this a try if I get a chance, and I'll report back with what I find

Ppfffffbbbbbbttt LMAO

SAY corn pie like 10 times fast out loud.

Funny as hell ?

I've been playing a few hours a week for around two months. I've been murdered only a handful of times, and only a few of those were legitimate griefers. More often than not I was killed over miscommunication or a misunderstanding.

Reasons I've Been Murdered (in-game, of course)

*mom named me after a former griefer, village didn't trust me;
*tried to stop my mother from killing our town's queen (she was a fantastic queen), mother saw me warning her and killed me a minute or two later
*once I was killed for running into town with a knife in my backpack, apparently there had recently been a murder, but no one saw the perp
*been killed for being too old (some people believe elders should suicide to not waste resources I guess)
*got killed for running away from a bear and accidentally bringing it too close to town
*been killed for being a baby of the "wrong gender" (killed as opposed to being left to starve)

In only a few instances have I been killed "just because".

Here lies our deadbeat mother, who we murdered for picking the seedn row. RIP

LMAO!

This, I am pretty excited about. When I think of that 10,000 foot, top-down view of humanity I think grave sites stick out as a concept that is prominently important to humans throughout history. Tombs, religions, pilgrimages, tradition. It gives us another cultural facet to play with.

I agree!! I had a very fulfilling life once as our town undertaker. I believe it actually might have been in [F/D]ucks - town. I built a little graveyard next to the stone storage room with the locked door. I planned out aisles and rows using flat stones as walkways. It was beautiful and I was very proud of my accomplishment. I was very diligent in trying to keep family graves together.

The ability to move the bones without losing the information would enhance this experience. I can understand if there are coding and logistical issues with this however.

Jason, am I correct in assuming that, under the grave system we are asking for, each grave would be it's own unique object in some way? I'm not sure how this is implemented in coding (again, all I can offer here is input from the perspective of a player/end-user, as I know very little about coding. My specialty is in game theory and logic anyway). I remember a recent conversation in regards to the decay system about potentially adding object properties. It seemed at the time you were hinting that would be quite an undertaking. So I can easily imagine how generations of graves on the same server, each being unique, could cause server lag.

Perhaps the graves could still decay, as they do, but I'm unsure if that mitigates any of the performance concerns.

Additionally, Jason, I know you just gave us signs. Knowing the philosophies you are building the game around another possibility is to use signs as grave markers. Are they expensive? Yes. Can they be griefed? Yes, usually. But if someone meant that much to you in-game, doesn't that work and effort make your memorial to them even more significant?

As always Jason, I'm just happy to have a quality update where you have done your best to meet the needs and wishes of your players while maintaining a good in-game balance.

I play on my laptop in full-screen mode, but I keep both the Wiki and the family trees on my phone while I play.

Jason, thanks for the chart! Looking at the dips in life expectancy for infants, I can actually correlate those dips to periods of time I stopped playing out of boredom and frustration, caused by griefing and infant culling.

Ah! I was Hope Earthman II. I only had one daughter, Hope III and my two boys ran off. I was our water manager for a while and transported water from the south to the wells and ponds near the farms. Ran into a real bossy farm master, so I told her she could do the water herself, and took over baking with "Ol' Man Baker" and Sandy (your mother). When Ol' Man Baker died, he gave Sandy (who was a diligent and hard worker) his knife. Then Luna came, in her blue sweater and hat, to our village and murdered a baby boy. Sandy was an excellent guard and she took immediate action, killing Luna swiftly. I picked up Luna's knife, put it in my backpack, and went back to baking pies.

Sandy was a natural leader, giving guidance and direction in an authoritative, yet gentle manner. We chatted often and I grew fond of her. When I grew older I decided I would give her my knife for safekeeping. Though we could have used another guard (we had some griefing issues) I trusted and knew so few of the others and had no living children. I informed Sandy of my decision.

She was kind. She reminded me that I wasn't so old after all. She suggested having some fun, but I stayed close to her partly out of concern that the knife might accidentally fall into the wrong hands on my death and admittedly because I liked watching her work and lead. She suggested I sit by the fire with the youngin's and teach.

When the time came she and a few others I was close to saw me off. She agreed to bury me in a beautiful grove of trees and built a small grave area with flat stones. I gave her my knife and we exchanged our love and fond farewells.

You guys had an awesome mom. It was a great life and family.
