One Hour One Life Forums

I was playing as an Eve, and I got cut by a boar. Shortly after I got bitten by mosquitos. The yellow fever deleted the cut, and when the fever wore off I was just fine. I never died of either. This is definitely a bug.

I have a tiny concern.

I started playing after the Steam players began buying the game. I taught many, many people how to grow berries, and how to make fire, and how to get dirt. It's actually nice to have someone to teach now and again. The new players are a big, big plus, and I'm happy for more. But so far, I've only seen one shovel. No other iron tools, or even iron. One stone wall, and one knife made by a griefer.

The problem is, there's not enough iron to get past the "make berries appear" stage. Halving the amount of surface iron was okay before the new players, but it's so rare now that I looked through a huge wasteland and found no iron. Not even a vein. Nothing. Most towns die because there's no water or dirt left to make more food appear. It's *impossible* to dig a well or shovel dirt, because there is so little iron left. When we do find iron someone smiths a knife and kills the old people and boys instead of digging a well or making compost, or at least making more firewood to make pies with.

We need to bring the iron level back up until the "noobpocalypse" is mostly done. There will always be a new player or two, but unless everyone else has their stuff together, it won't be possible to teach them. If people can't figure out the game, or they get killed with the only knife in the server, they will leave. And nearly everyone wants to have more players rather than fewer, because it makes lives funner and keeps the game afloat.

So, basically what I'm asking for is that we raise iron for a while until everyone knows how to play, more or less. That way people will stick around to play the game, and everyone has more fun.

Thanks for reading my little rant. I'm mostly sure it's Jason's birthday today, right?

As a girl, I farmed in a rinky dinky town.

Then a rinky dinky man on a rinky dinky horsey wagon rode into town, and told us that Casino Tiwn was dead.
I was a girl, the dead town was only 1 K away, and if I saw another berry I would explode. So I migrated over to Casino Town, and looked around.

It was the biggest town I'd ever seen, with a painted bakery, a proper berry farm, and tons of clothes. So much better than my rinky-dinky town! I walked around, looking at what needed to be done.
Clothes were sorted, as much as possible. Food was ready to bake. I could bake those a little later. Weapons were secure. Sheep were woolly. There was nearly nothing to do, except repopulate.

Then, I saw a huge white building, with the sign, CASINO.

I went in the front, wondering what would be there. A paper told that no kids were allowed. Inside were... Cards?!
There were cards, ten dice, and four boxes. Three boxes had assorted prizes for people, including written tickets to something, like smithing whatever you like. But it was very dirty, and the last box only had one rule: Have fun, and be good. That wasn't very specific, so I decided to run the casino to enforce some rules. I cleaned the room of bones and grile, and moved bowls of pee (?!) out of the way. Then, I wrote some rules.

1. Keep the floor clean. No cows or associated pee.
2. Do not steal prizes.
3. Have some fun.

While I was doing this, the town was filling up with people. A nameless family asked us to name their kids so that their family might have a last name. Other Crosses were hanging about too. I met an old lady, and showed her how to use dice. We gambled for a rule card for one free baby, and I won.
"But I'm too old!"
Out pops a baby. Perfect timing. I named the baby Lucky and sent him on his way.

I spent the rest of my life running the casino. It was hilarious sometimes. Was anyone else there?

Ted, you brought the Crosses to Casino Town. Thank you.
