I'm asking for constructive advice on how to ruin other people's games better, actually - that is if your game is ruined by being challenged by a negative force. I didn't just hide bellows, destroy ovens and kilns, murder fertile women, or lock up rooms. I just stole what I could and set up a raid camp.There should be a place for opposition in the game.
If there was an actual way of fighting said opposition, maybe. But really, what you are doing is no challenge, its sole purpose is to annoy others. Its not special or creative in any way
It's harder than it sounds.
Hey man omnious your partner in crime here wanna join up? We’ve been killing left and right.
Yes. I hate you, but we have a common cause.
What a sad, sad way to look at the world. Everyone is your enemy or your victim.
Must be so lonely. No wonder you lash out.
Yikes, really swinging at my masculine insecurities. In OHOL, there are only victims. We all die. I just try to spice it up. And hey, a common enemy will often bring a village together, and it is rare for me to have unprovoked intentions of murder.
I like to think I kill gently compared to what is a typical griefer. This situation is an outlier in that my band was disowned and threatened, so we struck back the only way we could that would ensure our safety: remove the hostile competition.
It's not lonely in a group of three. My enemies are my victims. If I am threatened, I will certainly swing first and ask questions never. That comes from a few too many stabs into my once doe-eyed optimistic self.
It also comes from my undying emotional instability, self-loathing, and sexual inadequacy.
Why not just have a pack of pies. If all goes wrong you can just refill on the food you've hidden.
The point was to set up an actual raid family and launch a raid on the town, taking hostages and food - if met with resistance, also lives.
I feel you man
We can twin sometime, or triplet with my other devious pals.
Please stay in there
Already out, hide your kids and wife.
This is just bragging about ruining other peoples game, thats all.

you know if you weren't a terrible person you could have just returned for the supplies or just been happy in the knowledge that the location of another city had been discovered.
And i'm confident no one asked you to go on this mission in the first place, so it is hardly spitting in your face to not appreciate your effort.
Also, it speaks volumes that your plan was to murder the other village in the first place.
Yes, our intention was always slaughter. But yo, if we RP a racist militia group on a crusade, whatever. It's not like we intended to slaughter our own people until they were asses themselves. Exile just for asking for help? Whatever. We'll just kill you and your entire family. They had no guards without us - what did they expect?
And mull this one over: As children, we were told the tale of a distant city south that needed exploration. So... if they weren't asking for help, then they were being useless.
Also, I don't operate in the game based on others' requests. I trust in my gameplay bringing a dynamic element to all, even those who perish by my hand. As Ghengis Khan said, "If [jason] wanted you to live, he would not have [sold me the game]"
I think you are priming yourself to talk to a griefer. I'm just altruism-impaired. Fuck people who try to pull some gang shit on me, I'll roll up with my bois and glack.
I was recently banned on the discord server, I was using some toxic language in the chat. But apparently this ban was done by only 1 or 2 admins. I’m not sure if there is meant to be a vote or something? But anyways I’m joining the aurora crew. I’m just saying to you pesky mods out there just cause I said some swear words doesn’t mean you guys need to anger out and ban me. The mods are really abusive and I’m pretty sure you need to warn me before banning. I was never given a warning by DM or the actual server. I don’t know the requirements but Booos on you jord. Also I wasn’t the one making those fake accounts and naming them daddy toxic and spamming chat, but a lot of people DM me saying I was doing it! I also do have about 3 other accounts in that discord serves so it really doesn’t affect me. These 3 accounts are really camouflaged so SUCK IT!
Sucks dude, remember when I got banned for saying your videos are shit? me too. Still are.
This was a tough one to deal with.
Hey Guys,
I'm chillin in D Town (and I definitely deserve it) right now, just wondering about what strategies you bad boys employ for setting up raid camps? I recently set up a pretty decent camp and leeched off of a town for while with two stewpots, a fuck ton of pies, tools, and carts for supply runs.
I did the standard hiding of valuables and carts to avoid drawing too much attention, but obviously if you see a camp of bowl stacks, cooking stews, and baskets of tools are going to scream at anyone who is out of the city. We had plans to build a lockbox for our weapons, but it did not get anywhere near there.
I think I set up too close, because one of my daughters ended up running to the city and snitching. She totally played me like a sucker, and ultimately I was found and executed.
For all you goodies out there, I really tried to not be too toxic. I went down doing some damage, but I only killed one guy when he first discovered me - so I could to erase the witness and avoid being found.
Once I WAS found, I tried to slow their progress in their assault, but I ultimately went down only killing the daughter who betrayed me. The town had meds so I'm fairly certain she didn't even actually die, it was more about the symbol anyway. We were only hardened thieves, not coldblooded murderers.
Still, the good guys won that one, and through my boredom, with the blacktext I wanted to hear about some of your winning strategies out there.

like both of us has weapon and i stab first then i get stabbed in returni think healing is good right now, even too op
I agree. A baby was spamming /ill and /yoohoo since birth. I figured we'd be better off if he didn't grow up.
But the people literally rush to heal him and curse me, Telling me to "get over it". They seriously sided with the obnoxious emote spammer.
Healing is only ever used to take advantage of noobs.
PS: Their are no real "fair duels". Just tedious ones.
I kill ppl for spamming devious, nvm those cancer emotes
I'm the old man who taught you how to fight with a knife and then drafted you to plunder a village. Valuable lessons.
I was there. That shit is an eyesore. Seeing that building made me decide to grief it.

I'm not going to argue with the facts you put out. It was OHOL terrorism. However, we were exiled before we got violent. We were not threatening recruits with violence. We met our exile with violence. At that point, we committed to wiping the townspeople who were against us, which due to our persistence (I assume), was most people. We never actually tried to force people to help us. I'm not saying you're at all wrong, I actually think you're most right on here. Still, we did not get violent until we were exiled. Is being annoying worth exile? Probably not. Is being exiled worth wiping a village? again, probably not. But it felt like revenge to me, not simple spite.
thank you for admitting for you "crimes" and not attacking me for pointing this fact out. though I do admit I did over exaggerate, so I bring a message for the future:
"don't let anger over power you, its a strong weapon and as we venture further down the tech tree we might be seeing more violent weapons- guns, bombs, and who knows what else. your actions in the future will have greater consequences... bear that in mind I can't tell what is wrong or wright, or what to do or not to do. as I am not you and I'm not in the situation, your choice is yours and you will bear the consequences!"
You have a very noble point of view, and you brought much to think about. I am in a grey zone about my actions too. They felt right.
I definitely think you over-reacted to the situation. It could have been resolved peacefully if you were willing to accept a new role. Your village had no need for soldiers or guards. There was no outside threat for you to fight against. It needed strong men willinging to work hard so the next generation would do even better.
You could have reforged your knives and become road builders, connecting your small village with the large abandoned town. You could have caught horses and headed out as explorers, leaving behind those narrow minded villagers for the larger world. You could have made bows and become hunters of wolves and pigs, helping to keep the village safe for generations to come and gathering some sweet wolf hats.
I think you got lost in your own narrative and failed to see that there were many ways your story could have ended that did not involve tears or blood.
You bring insight to this conversation. You're right, we had got too caught up in the idea of fighting. Sill, it was primally satisfying. An overreaction nonetheless.

Don't exaggerate your position. You were part of a civilian militia at best.
A real military is granted authority to act from a governing body. Without that authority, you are just a group of guys with knives and an urge to use them. The village elders are the closest thing to a government in an OHOL village. Yet you ignored them and rejected their authority. I don't think you have any right to describe yourself as "soliders".
Based on your actions, you were nothing but marauders and common murderers.
I certainly use military loosely. You're right it was more of a militia. Once we were ecluded from the village, we operated by our own rule and decided to raid and maraud. It wasn't as savory as everyone gtting along, but it was more flavorful of an experience for the three of us to act out our frontier justice (though you can obviously argue it was griefing) than it would be for us to go off and die three sad old men with knives. However, to say we did not operate under some extension of authority ignores the rather fluid form of power in the game. Really, the ones with access to violence have power. Our abuse of the power was certainly childish, as has been pointed out, but it was not as devious as a group setting out specifically to ruin a town.
Your point about the term 'soldier' being tossed around with relative disregard holds some serious weight, I will agree. But ultimately we held the power which would be my stance there. The 'matriarch' who was likely self appointed hit the big red button, and we carried out our own form of vengeance, despite how twisted it may seem. We were also not young at this point, well into adulthood. probably the 3rd 4th and 5th oldest in the village of 10 or so.
Yeah, the literal "main" thing about being a soldier or military is following orders and the chain of command. Why didnt you listen to the matriarch? She made y'all, do what she wants (within reason). You werent a military, you were a band of raiders at best, and some tyrannical despots at worst ??.
We fought what seemed unjust with our knives, yes. It was unwarranted for her to attempt to exclude us from the town because we were trying to recruit!
I'm saying what happens in OHOL happens IRL. You mess with the military they destroy everything. We stayed true to our form of art.
Killing your own people because they don’t want to do what you say, is not role play. You aren’t a king to order, neither soldiers. Soldiers respect hierarchy, they don’t kill their own people unless they are being lead by a dictator.
You couldn’t repopulate the south, and you made things worse on north, what was the objective? In my land, we call it “griefing”.
I explained poorly that we were exiled after simply trying to recruit

Hmmm, random asshat (who did basically nothing for the town) tells me what to do, what do I do? Tell em to fuck off. Boring (failed) roleplay. If anyone was unambitious, it was you; instead of working on your village you tried to make slaves and got violent when you didn't get your way.
Not so much a call for slaves, more for settlers and the threat of exile. But you're also kind of right

I was in a village - surname Moon
There was a city south of the village that had died, but was in decent shape. I ran down with a three man military troop to check it out. We were ready for an attack, but found the city abandoned. We contemplated plundering or repopulating, and decided to return to our village and bring a girl or two down.
We returned and were met with hostile words - people laughing at our attempt to manifest destiny the south. The world was expanding and they would never understand.
In a desparate attempt to be heard I asked every fertile and soon to be fertile woman. All denied, spitting in my troop's face - a troop who worked har dto succeed, and had traveled far.
Finally, an ekder came and exiled us, saying we, three men, were no longer welcome in their eight man village. My men were sticken by this blatant disregard of our efforts.
We asked her not to kill us, to which she said "I won;t have to" RP of a threat enough for us.
This town was unambitious. The penalty was death.
The three of us made quick work of the town, as we were essentially the only guard and had been tossed aside. We gave the members a chance to join, but those who had already refused or chose to ignore us were slaughtered. In the end, only the three man troop survived.
I'd hesitate to call it griefing, as we were mistreated and tossed aside by an unfair system that did not care to expand. I feel justidief in our actons.
Here's me from the tree. Enjoy scrolling through the death.
It's important to loot things that take a lot of work to make and are useful.
Any tools, realistically, if in decent shape.
Carts, obviously
Backpacks and Aprons, NOT STANDARD CLOTHES - ultimately a waste of raid slots
Bellows
Steel
Tongs
Stacks of bowls and plates
STEW POTS ARE GOLD IMO
Ropes and lassos
Good old baskets or packs of pies
In no particular order, I'd say vitals are Steel/tools and raw stewpots with an emphasis on gold related items
It doesn't hurt to take materials for dye as well, that white crystal is worth quite a bit.
