this clothing kid tradition was when you could reborn so the girl could be your mom
yes you can give warm cloths to lil girls, but you better give to fertile woman
give knife to a baker/composter, pack to a scout or just everyone one piece.
I agree. I’m guilty of sometimes passing down clothes to my daughters and sons because of favoritism, but mostly they work hard anyways, and I’d never give clothes to toddlers and babies, because you have know idea if they’re going to work hard or grief or just sit around. Mostly I give my clothes to the town smith or soup maker because I know they’re the most professional so more likely to use the clothes wisely.
hey saturn,
it's amy. once i heard that you were killed by a bear, i starved myself with my rose in hand. life wasn't worth living.
Amy, my love. You were my favorite. Kisses.
To Aura, Athena, Frida, Kimi, Amy and Other One—
I loved you all. You made splendid wives. Unfortunately, the bear did not.
Zeus, you had your chance to be my fling. Too late now.
Wednesday, thanks for supplying me with wives.
Ladies:
The Original- Rabbit fur all round. This old yet classic style is both cheap and practical.
The Mom- Nude except for a single backpack and crazy hair. The Mom, everybody.
The Wildchild- Nothing says “I’m young and ready to do magic mushrooms” like The Wildchild. A grass skirt and a backpack full of shrooms.
The Scarlet- Nothing says “Cult” like all scarlet wool.
The Indigo- Nothing says “I’m trying desperately to climb the social ladder” like all Indigo wool.
The Baker- Grumpy and covered in flour, desperately trying to feed her seven sons as well as the whole village. Chef hat and apron.
The Spoiled- She was a cute baby so granny gave her a crown and a full set of clothes. She sits around with three pies in her pack keeping every single one of her children. Crown, backpack, wool shirt, pants, two wool booties.
Gents:
The Crazy- Wears a hula skirt. Carries around a dead lamb. He kidnapped your kid for fun, and is married to a carrot.
The Dapper- Wears a shirt but no pants. Has a backpack full of roses that he chases the village girls with.
The King- Instead of farming he made himself a crown. Wears all the clothes and brags about them nonstop. Will probably hide them when he dies so he can wear them in his next life.
The Handyman- No clothes. He made the four pies that kid has in his pack. He’ll probably die young because The Spoilt kept all her kids and starved the village to death.
The Vulture- His left boot was knitted by his great grandma. The right one was from a baby. His pants and shirt are off a murder victim, his hat was made with the wool someone else spent ten minutes collecting. In his pack he dons four pies he grabbed around the village. He’s circled the farm four times now and still won’t lift a hand to help. He’s probably bored, I’d watch him carefully. He might make a knife from the iron he stole from the smith.
Your style says a lot about you, it’s up to you what you want it to express.
Looks like the Butts are dead. RIP. I will bring them back.
#MakeButtsGreatAgain
I’ll also bring butts back. With a collective effort and enough eves we can do it!
Woah. That’s nuts. I was named Sunshine and was the “mother” of Sandra and a boy called Ben. I was actually a guy who adopted unwanted children.
Crazy that all of this happened! And that Sunshine was a reoccurring name...
Ma! I called my daughter Sunshine after you. Love you
Also, I was a Wolosyzk as well. Anna.
Oooo Tell me everything you know about Baby Butts! I just threw an edit on my last post, but I think I actually founded this town as a different family, the Wolosyzks. Baby Butt's name shows up in that tree, and I was the mother of all Wolosyzks. Not the Eve, but the only living female of Gen 2 -Bobby Wolosyzk. If we go way down the tree Baby Butt appears.
http://lineage.onehouronelife.com/serve … _id=279039If we go way up the Butt tree (lol) we see Soccorro Wolosyzk, looks like he ended Baby Butt's killing spree, who killed several Wolosyzk and Butt alike.
It was the male baby butts not the female one, so not as interesting. I didn’t see much of him. I considered complimenting him on his name but he seemed quiet and moody. To this day I have no idea who he was, I only saw him once when I was a baby. http://lineage.onehouronelife.com/serve … _id=280820

Aww, that's the real tragedy here, especially since it was your first time making one for yourself. I guess crowns aren't meant to go on Butts......eh?

Heh heh. Always enjoyed our last name. Cracked me up when I saw a guy called Baby Butts walk past
I suppose I'm pretty happy I didn't actually inherit it, (besides the reason that someone later got murdered for it, whom I avenged)
I feel bad it caused so much trouble. I didn’t think anyone would care, but no. People bugged me about it from the start. I didn’t make it for status or anything like that, just that I had never made a crown, and I felt that since I’d farmed for the larger portion of my life I deserved a break.
P.S.: I said leave me alone because Stella and Delphi(Delphia) were following me. Again. I guess hard work and intelligence skipped a generation but I’m lucky to have such an awesome granddaughter. At least Delphi accomplished one thing.
Sandra replied she would to the hard worker among us. So Delphia told me to work hard. And I did. I watered, I composted, I transported mutton, I grew milkweed, I cooked, I brought tons of firewood into town, I killed murderers. And I kept so busy I didn't even notice the crown changing hands over the years, unless murder was involved.
I’m sorry I didn’t give you the crown. You probably should have gotten it but I was mad at your mother for nagging me about it. I also didn’t live long enough to watch you working hard. Love you my granddaughter.
I was Sandra, Delphia and Sunshine’s mom and the creator of the crown.
I can’t believe all you bratty girls are still fighting over this.
(Backstory: My daughter wanted me to give the crown to queenie, a young baby who hadn’t proved she was worthy of it by working. Stella also wanted the crown. They followed me around and squabbled, going so far as to name their daughters Queenie and Sandra. Delphia and Stella were greedy vultures who hadn’t worked a day. I didnt know about their daughters but didn’t want to crown people whom i couldn’t judge their character. They were cute though. So I gave the crown to my brother Ben and died peacefully. He was smart so if he gave it to sunshine she must have deserved it.
Delphia, I expected better and the writer of this killed an innocent; Sunshine was hardworking and never once asked for the crown.)
Will you still need sheep to compost? Because if you do a starting village will have to rely on soil being close and plentiful enough to last at least four generations (as long as it generally takes a successful village to create a pen and raise sheep). Otherwise it won’t be retrieved fast enough to sustain a growing town’s needs and also who wants to spend twenty minutes running through the arctic to retrieve four plots of soil that will require changing in the next five minutes.
You should also decrease the composting time by a lot because in large cities you have to eat through a lot of soil for every crop round to sustain a village of that size. There’s no point (or fun) in keeping the farms and population small.
Side note- Their should be some more efficient way to store soil than one at a time. I imagine a town storing fourteen soil in baskets around the growing carrots could get messy. And fourteen soil is fine for one round, but if a village were smart they would plan ahead with soil. That could be up to forty two soil littered around. Also it could be easy to slowly steal soil from the edges without anyone noticing. Maybe soil mines, holes where soil can be stored after it composts, to make way for new composts. It could just be a hole.
If you’re still using sheep, maybe you could make them produce dung without being fed? It would waste quite a lot of carrot-berry just on one round of soil. I dont suggest sheep for that reason, and also because it would be easily griefable. If a city had no nearby soil and all their sheep were killed, they would not survive long enough to get sheep, breed sheep and compost sheep dung.
At least we don’t have to waste any more metal on those pesky hoes.
That was long, sorry.
P.S. I love the roses! Curious as to what purpose the corn will serve.
I just bought this game today, and played for around one hour.. My experiences varied between spawning as a baby, not being fed and dying, and spawning as an Eve, having no idea what to do, spawning a lot of babies, and dying with them.
I feel that the game severely lacks an in-game help, as without looking it up on the internet, I couldn't even figure out how to eat something (clicking myself isn't *that* obvious..). But beyond that, there aren't really any instructions as to what to do. If you spawn as a baby, you can't ask for help because you can only write one letter, and even if you're not abandoned you will likely die. If you spawn as an Eve, you basically have to create a town all by yourself, and without instructions, this is pretty much impossible.
So, basically, does this come down to having to read a guide on the internet and get an in-depth understanding of the game's mechanics and metagame, before even being able to play it at all? I mean, I'm not opposed to steep learning curves, I play roguelikes and Dwarf Fortress, but this is a bit much.
Any pointers as to how to get started, maybe without having to read a book's worth of instructions before being able to play the game at all?
I watched a lot of introductory YouTube videos before I bought the game, so I knew enough to survive and help with the basics of farming. I don’t remember much about my first games, mostly that I stood near the farm and picked carrots and planted seeds, and then said goodbye when my time came.
Then again, I was new back when the game was easier. It might be harder now to start off. I would suggest playing as an Eve, not keeping any babies just experimenting close to some bushes.
Thank you both, that was really helpful.
Maybe for a week or two Jason could “turn the clock” in a way, keeping the updates most of us like and discarding the ones that we don’t like. We would keep him posted on our thoughts and experiences and at the end of two weeks he would look back and decide which game experiences to keep, which to change and which to discard, if any. Two weeks is long enough to get bored, so we could see if the statement that an easy game is boring holds true.
I miss roleplaying. Maybe it’s because I’m a thirteen year old girl, but I like being a nurturing mom. Saying “hi bb” to all my kiddles and grandkiddles. I’d rather say “Hello my lil grape, you are madonna” than “Sorry, no food.” or “I can’t afford new players.” I miss parading around with a crown passed down by Gma. But it might have gotten boring if we could all be queens. That’s not how life is, anyway.
I do think the game is very hardcore now. It doesn’t give a great impression to new players. For me it’s a love-hate relationship. But I support Jason’s desicions for this game. Just know that he’s listening to us and taking our ideas into account. Chances are, he’s already read and thought about your post, or will in the next day or two.
I’m not even sure if they’re in the game yet. Anyone seen any yet?
Also, ideas:
White Roses are lain by the graves of the royal. R can mark the grave as royal.
Once you put a rose, pink or white, or a crown by a marked grave it cannot be removed. This should not be the case for food. That would be too easily griefable.
