Sorry to disappoint, I'll spam some bullshit next thread so you have someone to ban.
XD

Does he really believe we don't have a massive log of screenshots?

Can Shady honestly think 'I bet no one has records of my frequent misbehavior' to himself?

This kid is hilariously inept if he thinks he has even a shred of credibility left, lmao
It was fun for awhile, but I think I'm done responding to him here or anywhere else, if anyone truly believes his absurd claims of being set up for a fall, then they are very dumb.

I don't care if it was you of if it was someone pretending to be you.

In the past you have spammed tons of offensive shit under numerous alt accounts. If you're trying to lie to protect your [nonexistent] reputation, then I don't care and the alt accounts will still get banned for posting lewd/offensive content. If you're telling the truth and it is someone else posting porn/offensive content, then that's fine because I'm still gonna ban them from the Discord for that as well.

In either scenario, you've still acted improperly to an egregious degree on pretty much every OHOL-related platform and the reason you are banned is because you can't behave.

Spooky!

> playing a villainous role in the game should have never been a cursable offense

This statement is kind of absurd.

If you make other people not want to play with you then they curse you. Deciding what is a "cursable offense" is like trying to dictate how someone is allowed to react to your behavior. If I want to curse someone for whatever reason I want, I am perfectly free to do so. Just like my curse is my decision, your curse is your decision. I don't get to decide whether your choice to not play with me is valid or not.

If I'm rude to you, then feel free to curse me.
If I ruin the work you were doing, curse me.
If the town you invested time into with your friends is attacked by me trying to kill the fam, then curse me.

This idea that "Being a little shit provided thrill and variety and gave people a reason to keep playing" is utter horseradish. The consistent efforts by people engaging in a "villainous role" [often across multiple accounts] is a huge part of why the playerbase is so small. The number one complaint I see from people who quit playing is that they were just fed up with griefers whose sole contribution to the game seems to be trying to ruin other peoples' days.

People don't enjoy being the helpless victims of those who think terrorizing other people in a 2D family farming simulator is fun.

If you want to play Rust, then play Rust.

Jason does have a very obtuse and sometimes confrontational manner when dealing with the community.
Despite his talents as a programmer, his public relations with the playerbase/fans has been antagonistic at times.

While I agree the people who bitch and moan about this game for years and years are whiny brats who should've moved on long ago, their frustration doesn't come from nowhere, either.

"Juicy drama" is also a big part of why this game has such a small active playerbase.

Jason is a talented programmer, but his unwillingness to address the problem of unrepentant, rampant assholes in this game is frustrating.

In an ideal world, you'd have some sort of antagonist role that provides an interesting conflict dynamic. Many satisfying gameplay loops are built on this exact premise, in fact. Instead, we get this endless rotation of people exploiting poorly-implemented mechanics to be a nuisance without any real way to counter them (which the curse system is supposed to do, but is woefully inadequate). It's so fucking easy for a person to be a pain-in-the-ass in this game, and they can just keep doing it over and over.

Then people get frustrated their towns/families/work gets ruined and they quit the game, further reducing the population. The selfishness of griefers taking away other people's fun for their own amusement is gross. It's why I look down on them as shitty people, because that is what they are deep down.

Deliberate and malicious acts of destruction make the game worse.

Using apoc to destroy towns to have a pure eve start is unambiguous griefing.

It's the same as using boars to kill a town to do an eve start, except on a bigger scale.

Frankly, while I understand the utility of keeping an emergency reset button around, I think apoc creates more problems than it solves and it would be better to just remove it entirely. The amount of division and conflict centered on this stupid game mechanic is insane. Multiple years of constant arguing and bitching, not to mention the incredible amount of in-game drama, is just not worth it to keep the option of having 2 seconds of white screen.

Anything that increases game accessibility is a damn fine thing to do.

I salute your effort to improve the OHOL community for non-English speakers. Keep up the good work!

Only been playing under two years but have clocked roughly 1500 hours.

I think some de-centralization would be good, though I have different ideas about how to achieve it.

Currently, every town is basically tethered to a solitary well and their existence is tied to the water it provides. Therefore, all towns are essentially stuck to one "hub" that every activity ends up being directly attached to. Even auxiliary buildings seem more like elaborate roleplaying projects than useful 90% of the time. With this system, we're functionally constrained to high-density centers with dead zones between only sparsely occupied except by roads and dead towns.

My solution would be to reset the eve well iron unlock after 50 generations. [roughly 1 day IRL - easily long enough for fams to max the tech tree in current meta] Perhaps an indicator such as a message when inheriting leadership in "settler-ready" towns could indicate to players if their family was ready to split.

With this option, a pioneer group could set off West from town and settle elsewhere if they were born in a long-lived town with most tasks done.

I'd love to pack up a couple carts with supplies and be able to establish a viable colony on the frontier while still preserving an existing family.

I can, of course, see some downsides to this, but I think allowing a hybrid between old families and new settlements could be a fun alternative to eternally being stuck where your ancestors discovered agriculture.
