One Hour One Life Forums

This is more a thing for early camps between 2nd gen, when there are no large towns on the server, and whenever they start to hit tech that requires latex and sulpur. You can always just head east until you hit a dry spring, but not everyone knows that and there’s no significant way for them to know this just by using common sense.

Don’t worry, long highways would still be very useful, and wouldn’t disrupt your only way of playing.

It’s a game, no one is going to want to play genuinely as a peasant. Especially in the small family communities we have now. I wouldn’t bully my younger sister telling her to give me her shoes because I’m her lord, that’s weird and wrong.

Until there’s a larger village network and a way of marking that that village belongs to a certain political party, presidents/kings and senators/dukes aren’t going to work because it’s an intimate family setting (complete with stabbings, shooting and racial slurs thrown around, but the point is made). Most you can have ideally is a county, and even that put into context consists of multiple towns.

I’ve played along with your riddle, and now you’re just taking the piss. Goodbye.

Yes, because taking the next steps towards a newcomen pump before your town dies out from famine is RP.

I don’t know if you’ve ever taught people before, but if you have you can’t tell me it’s not a genuine emotional response when they appreciate you for it and they go on to be more useful than most of the other people who know how to play but can’t be fucked. That’s investing time into what they could be doing and it pays off.

No you’re right, but jum foods are always appreciated by people who do it properly. One thing I will give the specialisation update is that bananas are very appreciated.

I’m not sure if this was said, because it’s a fairly long thread, but in terms of a points system I think having a visual representation of what kind of a player some people are would encourage people to be more open towards trusting other people. People are always on edge about who’s trustworthy and who isn’t, and it usually just results in not trusting anyone as they’ve been punished for being too trusting before.

People with a high curse score are represented as gradiently bad (darkened eye-bags, generally looking very villain-esque), so that having one curse doesn’t cause too much prejudice. This could also open up an opportunity for a very old idea that, iirc, a lot of people liked: blessings. In this context, it works exactly the same as a curse, with a separate token, so it’s given to people who truly deserve it. This would be represented as having more innocent features, like longer eyelashes and pinker cheeks.

This isn’t real life though. A female in theory would need to eat more to perform whatever cell dividing shit they’re pulling off, whereas males currently just need to sustain a body with no advantages. Either lower the maintenance of something less useful, or make it more useful.

Then it’s pointless, because other deep well towns are going to develop all the while you’re leading in bears, taking advantage of the fairly recent influx of new and helpless players and avoiding people who have caught onto what you’re doing. What’s the reward, an “I’m a noob killer!” badge?

As well as aesthetic properties, hair could also have racial benefits. For example, gingers grow more facial and body hair to help them cope better in tundra than other races, however this causes them to fare much worse than currently in desert and jungle. Black people on the other hand grow very little body hair to help cope with deserts, but work similarly to the above in tundra biomes.

This could also be extended to gender and the transition to adulthood, with men’s natural resistance in all biomes being much better after reaching 14, allowing their lack of food consumption to make up for the fact that they can’t carry on a lineage.

And the current chemicals we have, for ...Chemistry?! Lots of failures and blowing things up accidentally through experimentation?!

Quite a few people want to be an Eve, even if they aren’t born as one. So they tun off and pseudo-eve, spreading out the server population, making it less likely to keep a living girl per-town who also gives birth to more girls (who also may or may not run off). That’s my take anyway.

That’s all well and good, but before long new players will begin to dwindle as the steam reviews (a pretty huge factor) turn more and more red. I could bitch about the lack of content, but I don’t feel I know enough to judge the balance between work towards bug fixes and work needed to make new things. So I’ll just say that as a player, I hope the rift is removed fairly soon. Pumpkins and halloween goodies were a nice touch though.
