It's easy to be angry at griefers and want them to be punished, but keep in mind greifers are often trying to punish those around them for perceived wrong and slights. They are giving back to the world what they feel it has given them and the wold has given them pain.
So, shouldn't we try to rehabilitate griefers instead? Instead of a kind of penitentiary in the wilderness why not some kind of enhanced tutorial that taught Good Citizenship, for Toxic? When we leave our young in nurseries with a woman we don't even know can we really be shocked when they turn out to be killers and people who turn the oven in to a kiln?
I propose a camp for troubled youth in OHOL it would be a place to learn to make compost and grow milkweed. Most important it would be a place of love and support to help heal the griefer's soul. Toxic would be the first student.
What is the real source of all of the grief? Let's talk about it together over some stew.
but would it really work? they need to **want** help to be able to become a more acceptable player. you have a good heart for having that idea though.
you shouldve gotten a lot longer than 3 hours tbh
how does the bastard son of a whore and a scotsman dropped in the middle of the forgotten spot in the carribean by providence impoverished in squalor, grow up to be a hero and a scholar?
A: Leave it alone so nobody gives you trouble
B: Pick it up right away and look for the first opportunity to use it on someone
C: Pick it up and hide it
D: Pick it up, carry it and hope that you never have to use it
E: Pick it up and look for the nearest loaf of bread
I'm a D guy of a guy, myself. I'd rather make sure someone with an itchy trigger finger doesn't get their hands on it.
d. and only d.
are you by any chance still awake?
wait, now that i've posted this and checked my time you probably aren't. rip.
hey, what's the lineages that you 'created' again?
Not everyone followed "the rules" and my daughter thought I was nuts.
i'd like to think that some of your children tried to forage, and didn't totally perish because they solely relied on berries.
You just have to get lucky and be one of the last boys born to a town with very few fertile women left. It is more common during the off-hours, when server population is low.
If no more girls are born after you or if all the girls die before they are old enough to birth more girls, then you will find yourself in a Sausage Town.
i was born into a sausage town, but it wasn't too interesting other than my family member who made a knife and i assume was going to attempt murder tried to hunt me down. although i buried my nanna in that life... so it wasn't too bad.

It's still alive. I just spawned in it.
i spawned in it too, i was around when they were naming their kids 'abdul'. but it's nice to know that it's still going!
i was spawned into that village as one of the gomez's... it seemed as if there was a 'cult' going on that named their children 'abdul'. but otherwise it wasn't too bad, i ran around with my old boot and my blue bootie doing what i wanted, because i didn't need to panic about resources getting too low. but i did take up a farming, gatherer, and dressing babies up role in my full hour of living.
how do i find/get birthed into a town like this?
Can’t wait for all the people doing /sick to me when I give RP even the slightest of chance.
Shit’s discouraging.
don't let ppl discourage you, bc in a way when they do /sick that's kinda rping...
sounds like you had a lot of fun, huh?
i hope that this town is still alive so that i can spawn in it, and see what families survived and what perished. but from previous posts it seems as if the cauls died.
if it annoys you that bad, mute the game or put it on low volume.
I dont know if I should be embarassed or proud by teh amount of time Ive wasted on this game. Thank you for making the stats, dude. Ive alwaywas wodnered how many lives Ive actually lived
you're a legend.
my current lives are nothing special
one positive is, i am not being killed, very few attempts, so that's a plus
i die often to boars, mosquitos & wolves, too often & at times with a cart, too badi am always very happy to see that someone had the foresight to plant a bunch of maple trees & such
but some players are still being quite jerks, like yesterday a female who made about six bowls & six plates
but as i wanted to set out an omeletts spot for all to survive better, she claimed them as "hers", i hope she'll have some miserable livesi made a small milkweed spot a touch away from the town
for the first time since milkweed has been nerfed
but it's so darn necessary for the carts & often even for the snares
i could have claimed too that milkweed "mine", but nah- - -
i think i may have spawned in that town... was it the 'bacon' family?
i've been clearing roads out and telling ppl to not put stuff on the road bc it's hard to step off, thx to this post.
Guys just because someone griefed a village doesn’t mean there young or stupid. It’s fact that most of you have griefed villages time to time. Anyways most villages that you guys play in are made by me. I have 4 active lineages with big cities going right now. I actually spend my time eveing so you guys can go in play in my villages and end them. Half of the time people like you that call me young are messing up my villages because they don’t know how to play.
So what if I kill 1 village but make 4 there’s a difference. So plz go and learn how to play the game then teach me. I don’t just grief villages everyday, when you know how to do everything in the game sometimes it’s to boring to not grief.
i'll feed into this and respond with; just because you created 4 villages doesn't give you the right to destroy one megacity. that was someone elses' hard work and family. plus most of the people posting seem to have quite a bit of experience.
i will feed into your need of attention. which is obvious seeing as you posted about your griefing, then acted as if you were 'teaching' people by probably making them not want to play/taking the fun out of the game for them. insert deep exhale. otherwise... good job!

It'll be a downloadable mod when I finish it. I'll only be working on it during the weekend though.
alright, thanks for letting us/me know!
this would make hair 'griefers', aka people who'd give you unwanted haircuts like in ARK. but it'd be much better them do that instead of harmful things that can impact a village greatly.

I vote mushroom people
i second this!
i think that this is adorable and unsettling at the same time. are you going to make this a mod? or is it already a mod?

Could imagine killers trying to disguise themselves, would make the man hunt a lot more interesting.
that'd give us a reason to read and remember names of griefers/killers.
p.s sorry for the rather late reply.
