One Hour One Life Forums

Hate to say it, but every suggestion, argument, counter-argument, and compromise so far suggested has been suggested a million times already.  Best bet is to let it go.  In any case, we've got private and custom servers for this sort of thing. 

I'm considering making an option in OCS where we have two cities, one permanent, and one resetting every week, and you can opt into either.  But for right now, low pop servers and current OCS are your only options.

If you're thinking "but those servers don't have a very high population at any given time!" Then either

A) You should maybe convince more people to follow you to join them or
B) They have drawbacks that make their style of play less appealing and maybe Jason is right to not make it this way on the main servers

I did   In the discord.  THAT one weren't no jason, though, lel.

Later on someone left a full basket saying it is a "small price to pay".  A few minutes later the town completely forgot about it all and the pies were gone.

Instead of saying it sucks, how about you suggest something better?  You know what would REALLY suck?  Having no moderation at all.

Both are real.  I agree, warmth -> fertility is pretty awful, although I've grown to like the Yum -> fertility.

I actually think it straight up has to be removed.  Some people play at off hours only, which is where you're usually forced to to this, and they shouldn't have to feel the need to sit their ass on a fire 50% of the time they're born.

Back up

Nobody would care if you had originally said "You're allowed to do what you like, but you must call it the 'Unofficial' One Hour One Life".  What people are questioning, and probably will turn out you don't actually have rights to do anymore when they inevitably just say "nope, not gonna do it", is how you're saying they need to do it NOW when originally they did not.  Doesn't matter that it will make up for other requests you felt they didn't handle well.  It's an explicit right that has a lot of importance that you probably waived yourself of.

Anyways, agreeing with CrazyEddie on just see a lawyer already, you'll probably end up seeing one soon at some point if you're making demands with deadlines.  They'll probably say you're pretty hosed as far as getting what you want, though.

Edit: And as far as your "passing off example" is concerned, it has to do with trademark on the second page.  "Professor McCarthy, in his famous treatise, calls this "the classic
form of trademark infringement.""  Which ya don't have anymore most likely.

I don't think this is the case.  I think you even have to defend your trademark or risk losing it even.  Which is why companies are so anal when it comes to IP laws in general.  Outright giving away the right to use the name sounds like immediate failure to defend it. 

<-- Also not a lawyer, but I've read a lot about this so I have a general idea.

At least this is how it appears to work in the US.

And it makes sense, business isn't screwing around.  Telling someone they can use a name, then they spend thousands of dollars investing in it, and then hearing "wait nevermind" is a situation nobody wants to be in.  I would be surprised if the laws were written such that this is allowed.

Unfortunately I think you're making threats with a fully loaded squirtgun, and since they're big money at this point they definitely know it so I may as well just tell ya.  If you look at any cases involving public domain, the question only involves "is it actually public domain?".  If it is, you got zippity doo da.  Check this out even:

"You may use public domain property any way you wish, including republishing it as is"

"Moral rights[17] have had a less robust tradition in the United States. Copyright law in the United States emphasizes protection of financial reward over protection of creative attribution.[5]:xiii The exclusive rights tradition in the United States is inconsistent with the notion of moral rights as it was constituted in the Civil Code tradition stemming from post-Revolutionary France. When the United States acceded to the Berne Convention, it stipulated that the Convention's "moral rights" provisions were addressed sufficiently by other statutes, such as laws covering slander and libel"

And with the monty python issue, they only won the appeal when it was found they had copyright, whereas BBC got let off with a slap on the wrist in the first round.

Anyways, I'm sure their engineers have seen this, so there's really no harm in it:

"This work is not copyrighted.  I place it into the public domain.

Do whatever you want with it, absolutely no restrictions, and no permission necessary"

That's the official license given I believe, which would void even trademark since that can be waived and it's considered a part of public domain, which Crazy Eddie alluded to as the only real rights thought to be held.  Basically nobody wins slander and libel in the US, so that's out, and doesn't seem to have much to do with this.

Sounds like there's no rights whatsoever to your work.  They can claim they wrote every single line of code and were inspired to write OHOL by the flying spaghetti monster.  It'd be a lie, but a perfectly legal one.

Edit:  That being the case, there is the possibility you were never allowed to release it as public domain if you look at this:

Although that looks super shaky, tbh.  Nobody really does this, so nobody really knows lol.

My last life I drank milk only just  for fun.  I used up 6 corn, some of it was skim even.  So basically, one soil and bowl of water.  Speed milking actually is less efficient, technically, although if more than a few people actually drank the darned stuff it'd be useful.

I think the reason nobody drinks it is because the better players are usually fetching stuff, and you can't put "emergency" milk in a backpack.  Like sure I had free food.. but foraged food is also free.

The main issue with yum from a powergaming perspective is it's a modest amount of work for only a marginal relative gain.  I've run the yum-on on the One City Server for the first dozen hours or so it's been up, and it's "nice" but not a huge improvement over standard food.  It's also super organized and has a road to it near the center of town, and still just feels "kinda nice".  Pies and stew are simply that good.

The other reason is on the main servers people will eat the inefficient yum foods without aiming for yum, causing a net average loss of food efficiency.  Sometime I'll have to make a Yum-on sign on a main server and see if it catches on xD

So if you can provide marginal benefit, or give permanent benefit by doing a whole host of things like making cermaics, fetching large amounts of iron, making tree farms, etc, it's pretty obvious what's better.

What is good is making yum for fertility during dead hours, though.

The takeaway from betame's graph is that it's much more important to get at least some clothes than a full set (not sure where this full set rumor got started, maybe I'm missing something).

At 28% insulation your hunger is halved, at the theoretical 95% it is halved again.  So merely putting a mouflon hide on should reduce hunger by an absurd 40%.  I'm not sure if that's actually true, but that is what the graph shows.  It certainly feels in the ballpark, as the hunger rate with nothing is crazy, even if it's still super high with some clothes on.

Well, snowball direct murder isn't.  90% of snowballs deaths are from starvation, though.
