The hot flat rock is warm, so perfect spot to raise a kid (unless it is on a desert tile). Try to get others to gather eggs for you whilst you make the omelettes and feed your kids, ideally tell your own kid when it gets hair to do so. If the kid is new remind them to take a basket and berries with them to go egg hunting.
When raising your kids temperature is very important, ideally middle and only feed them when they "f" so you don't waste your food.
Please, please do not do this again. I was born a girl and my mother named me Jason, she also named all my brothers and sisters Jason. She would name random kids Jason and run around saying you are Jason. Of course some of them were griefers and the murder victims would say curse Jason which meant a ton of people cursed me the original Jason and not the Jason insert number who actually did the killings.
It is not fun and it is not clever.
Easiest job is to bring dirt to the berry farm. If it is a town take a basket to the compost pile and if a village dirt will be on the green biome (if you ask someone will usually know where it is either fertile soil pile or compost).
Task two for beginners is to soil and water the berries. You need a dirt pile, a bowl and a water source (shallow well, bucket or goose pond). You use dirt on yellow bushes using bowl and then put water on the same bush also using bowl.
Task three for beginners is gathering. Take a basket filled with food, set yourself a home marker by using sharp stone then round stone on someone elses home marker (you may be born with home marker). Leave home and bring back iron, milkweed as rope (four together), food in early camps or if famine. Straight shaft and round stones can also be useful. In early camps seeds are needed (carrot, teosinte, bean, squash and milkweed).
Task four is rabbit hunting when snare is made. Same as above basket, food, home marker but also take or find out where the snare is. Then you put the snare on family rabbit holes in the yellow biome, wait for rabbit to die and then take rabbit back home. When home use flint to skin rabbit, put fur in pile and bring skinned rabbits to kitchen. When you have pile of five fur ask for help making a backpack as they are the best (needs to be trustworthy person or they will steal the backpack).
If you want love. better buy a cat.
Love is not guaranteed by a cat.
Hope is classic, Hope has so much meaning to it. Still one of my favourites despite its popularity.
If you want names Here Is The List
And if you really want to change things up use this random namer and see if the name you get is on the list

I like that Daenerys, Sansa and Arya are official name choices. Shame we can't name our kids Cersei though.
I was your mother and sadly Hammer was just as original a name as yours was. You see when I was born my mother asked me if I could smith and I said N. She then said the town really needed a shovel, so I explained I know how to smith but I'm really slow.
Your brother was born whilst I was making a hammer and your grandma raised him for the first year of his life. I managed a hammer, shovel, axe and hoe in that order before lifting your brother and naming him after my great achievement.
In this stage of my life I decided to extend the Berry farm, which was when you came along and I looked at my new rows of Berries and I named you Berry. I knew it would be awhile before new berries grew so I took you to the wilds to forage and wait leaving poor Hammer to starve in the village.
Before you got hair, you ran off and I followed. I seen you were ok when I got to the village but you were busy so I went back to the berry farm. My goal being two separate five by five berry farms above and below the well in the desert. Times were tough and I killed the next few kids that I had, but I raised my nephew Maximus (thinking he was mine) and said sry boy to my next son.
He was a scrapper though and made a lot of noise and therefore the other girls of the clan decided to feed him and I named him Thunder as he reminded me of load banging. It was a quiet life after that I had my ten rows of five berries to tend and soil to cart in.
Thunder often popped by and picked up my bowl, put down my bowl, lifted my soil, dropped my soil. He loved to run around the Shovel and Hoe, he died next to the berry bush as many do. So I scooped him up and put him next to the bones of our family.
In my later life I also named my great niece Amazing, because she was but she was also taken at a young age. I died a proud mum next to the forge seeing you and your daughter Daniela with the happy knowledge the village still had girls and my line continued.
My last words were There well after telling someone where the water was.
My Nephew I Thought was My Son
My Great Niece I Named as a Child
When you have a kid and put it down without naming straight away, anyone can then go by saying "you are ..." and the kid takes on that name and loses their surname. Sometimes this happens by mistake by someone saying "you are a insertcurseword" then you have child Aaban.
On the reverse we had a kid that begged to be fed but ran each time it was then grew up to lead a bear into town. We were able to name him using the "you are ..." without holding trick, not enough people cursed though.
I think the pro of naming runners outweigh the con of others possibly naming your child/losing surname.
Would be nice if the fire or lit firebrand provided a radius that animals would not go near. Also would be amazing if you could use Bear skins as clothing (fur capes with hoods, a two in one head and chest clothing item).
Just guessing but since some people got killed by a shot bear, possibly let a bear out or got blamed for letting a bear out.
Money will never be a thing in OHOL
Currency doesn't necessarily mean money as you could use some kind of trading system. If towns had more people and ran smoothly, it would already be happening. Goods for food and food for goods.
Even in the small towns we have it happens. Who hasn't dropped off pie near the smith and made a request for a new hoe?
One person with only one curse to give, what really is the issue you are having with them wasting it? Unless you annoy a ton of other people you aren't moving in to your next life cursed.
Can't wait for butter. Just imagine the culinary possibilities.
And Cheese and cheeseburgers, yay!
I was Mary and Janet, here to tell you I never suicided but was abandoned the first time and mum died the second time. Lucky enough to be born again as Pharaoh and have some lovely kids, grow some wheat and sheep tend.
When ever you want to really, it is your curse to use. However people are more likely to join in after a murder and a single curse alone is kind of pointless.
The name thing happened to me in one life. When I was born in the berry fields of a large town, my mother carried on with her work tending to the berries. I followed and said "f" but she never replied, so a kind man fed me a berry and said whilst holding me "You are Africa"
My mother said "Noooo thats not his name" but it was done I became a Tana and not a Laughter.

Okay wow, you're into stereotypic roles with this game, huh? XD
As a girl I tried gathering but babies run often or just starve if born in the wilds, so I tend to stay home and keep near the good food to increase my chance of my line continuing. I love checking the lineage page a day later to see how many grand-babies my kids had or if my sons lived long life and see what the last words were.
As a boy I like to hunt and gather iron and as a girl I like to raise babies hopefully whilst making pies/tending sheep.
I know its just a game but I like to think that if you're born into a family you should at least try to help and roll with the punches
In an Ideal Game World everyone would be nice, polite and work hard but like Real Life sometimes kids are bad.
Did you have other kids that you left? Could be them reincarnated and super mad at you.
Did you have them out in the wilderness? They just don't want to be poor.
Honestly it's better they run as babies than starve themselves out or grief when they get older. Sometimes though if you tell them they are important to you, they may stay.
Really do not approve of your idea to force them to take a penalty or stay.
The forums are crazy.
1) Mothers who keep all their children should be stabbed
2) Mothers who abandon their children should get bearsMake up your minds! Which is it?
Keep all your children and get stabbed of course.
To be honest I had a life where I was born over and over to a mum as a boy, just to be abandoned. When I was born as a girl she called me Hope and told me I was her only kid, so I ran and bear-ed out of shear meanness. It felt good.
What if a child that is unnamed can pick their own surname at age 14 like an Eve by saying "I am...."
They could then be Eve or Adam WhateverNameTheyPicked. They should then be as if they were an Eve spawned into a town with no relation to anyone.
Pros
Gain their future kids a surname
People could curse them
Cons
People picking same surname
Risk people killing them for being Eves
Paul was my kid, I starved to death chasing him down to give him a name. I hope you all cursed him if he was ebil.
How would cursing would work if there was more than one person with the same name? The reason I ask is because in one of my lives all my grandkids were called Gary. If Gary A was ebil (she wasn't) and I cursed her, would that also curse all her siblings?
