One Hour One Life Forums

The gate permission grants only apply to people living at the time, i.e. not to future kids. So an Eve saying "my family owns this" would not in itself give gate permissions to the family till its extinction. Instead, the permissions must be passed on again and again over generations. Otherwise the gate will go down when the last person with rights to it dies, and it'll have to be remade and the permissions cycle restarted.

It's an exciting concept, but I can't help but wonder if it's too much of an ask from the player base. Considering most players seem to be noobs with less than 50h in the game, and that experienced players often spend their entire lives just fixing the mistakes of said noobs, and in general just saving the village from destruction (and this is something you cannot fix by typing to people in-game; VOIP might have a bigger impact, but that wouldn't entirely fix it either), I can see this change leading to the death of many, many villages, especially well-designed ones (which we are already seeing anyway as so many experienced players have quit the game).

Also I don't like how fitness score impacts your tool slots, or rather, I don't like how the score system actively punishes Eve players such as myself for having to /die sometimes up to 12 times to spawn as an Eve. Spawning as Eve should be a toggle when the window's open, plain and simple.

I also almost never play as a boy, simply because it's so boring not being able to have kids, but there's more of an argument towards why players should be punished for SID'ing just because they're born male. Not so much for wanting to Eve. Either way your normal gameplay should not suffer because you want to Eve. If anything, Eve players should be rewarded when managing to create lasting dynasties, especially when taking into account how hard Eve runs are these days.

I agree with a lot of these points.

When playing as female I always overeat for yum to increase my fertility, but the OP's data is useful particularly when playing as male or in Eve camps, where variety in food is often sparse.

There is none.

No, the algorithm just doesn't seem apply to people outside the rift. This is supported by the fact that there were barely any spawns inside. This is including SID kids.

EDIT: I mean I guess it could also be down to an amount of randomness and wow-factor from being born outside the rift (many mothers told their kids they were outside the rift as soon as they spawned), but I'd still check the spawn algorithm code.

The spawn algorithm doesn't work when you're outside the rift, which leads to an early apocalypse as the families outside hog all the baby spawns and the families inside starve from lack of players. This was very easy to spot while it was happening, here's a screenshot I took from the last arc:

It also happened in the arc before that, with the German and Bear families. I spent several hours building a nice town outside the rift that time, before the all but inevitable apocalypse happened a few hours later.

Actually this last rift before the currently on-going one, I was the last person inside the rift; I was the last Fitzgerald girl. Knowing from the previous arc with the Germans and Bears, that getting across the rift involves a plane and having a landing strip right next to the rift, I went looking for it to confirm my suspicions of the Sigmans being outside the rift, and quickly found it.

I then rode back home, took my aunt, cousin and several canisters of kerosene with me, and rode to the plane. I thought it might involve glitching across while getting out of the plane or something, but we were unable to figure it out. My aunt, cousin and daughter that was born near the plane then starved themselves, and as the other last remaining families inside the rift had just died out, and living inside then being futile anyway (no babies, no people), I chose to follow suit, ending the arc.

Particularly as it doesn't solve the potential issue: if griefers want to mass-curse someone, they'll just solo-spawn into the same town. All this new change really does is harm responsible players who like to play together.

Playing as quads is already punishing enough with the current life system (and score system, if you care about that). Why needlessly further punish people who enjoy playing with others? Last I checked, there was no epidemic of group griefers sending people to donkey town. Conversely, probably a third or fourth of the hundreds of lives I've played while quadding, there's been at least one griefer I and my twins had to deal with.

Yep, RIP my Whislers, they got to gen 19 before the outage (though it's possible they died right before it).

Looks like they got killed by players from the Freedman family.

Btw this forum badly needs things like multi-quote functionality.
