That was me I kept lagging in the big city so I went north to make a new settlement and I found one forge and some berries. I decided to stay there and make myself a little house.

I made some stone wall and a fence door. Then I hid some rose seeds in the snow, hoping that I could plant some special roses when I come back.

I had two boys, Alex and Adam, and two girls who didn't survive. One of my boys stayed with me and helped me.

I came back as a boy named Prince and was so happy to find my house like I left it. There was a man living there ( I think his name was Josh ) and offered his help to finish the little pen next to the house. We managed to finish it before he died and I put one goose who I named Alfred.

Also there is a little cemetery for the people who helped building this house, just a bit north from the pen.

Mason joined me and together we continued to build the house. I planted two roses in front of the pen and Alfred enjoyed them. I hope he is still there, quacking around in his little place.

I still have so much planned ! I want to make a berry farm on the right side with some beans and corn, finish the flooring and make a room where you can make stew and cook the eggs from Alfred.

I hope it's still beautiful as I remembered it and that no one fucked this place up ^^

great work! I loved the house. I stumbled across it while I was gathering baskets

forestglade · 2018-06-16 15:46:19

I missed the house! I went south and northeast but not north as I was foraging wood to learn how to Smith.

Thank you to my uncle Meric that taught me how to smith.

FounderOne · 2018-06-16 16:00:38

I just spawned there again!

I worked on the floor. I finished the floor in the house, made a stone way to the ponds south and started a stone way from the berrys to the ponds and well east.

East was a wolf. I always went out of his way, but when I gathered more stones for the way I stepped onto him when he was behind a tree.. So if you find my bones near a cart, please bury me like I did with the old women that was working in the house.

I wanted to take some screenshots for you, but the wolf came unexpected:P

Were you Eduardo ??!

Because I was the old woman who was working there ! As soon as I published my last text I was born in the same town like it was destiny

I will bury you in the cemetery of honor

I was the one who made the forge you stumbled across, I had tools ready to go. Such a nice spot up top, so much cactus fruit. In my second life i was able to pick and remove that lock on the blacksmith in the main town, that was annoying villagers across the generations. I locked up the weapons and made myself a crown and passed it onto the first Queen, Queen Hana. http://lineage.onehouronelife.com/serve … &id=342089

Yes you did ^^ I was just there again and I finished your stone path. I think I found your bones and buried them with a white rose. Also I planted some milkweed, so that hopefully someone can build some boxes for storage.

It is really a nice spot !! I hope you will have one day the chance to go back there and see what happened to that place.

This town got even bigger! I visited the north house and it's gorgeous with berries and a pretty sheep pen. I smithed for a little bit.

FounderOne · 2018-06-17 08:54:17

47 generations. I wonder how the house developed. Any information? Did someone found my death body and buried it?

I've been born in that town (the large one to the south) about 10 times in the last 3 days. The first time I was third generation and spent a lot of my life making the stone roads spaced 3 apart in the hopes people would use them as the corners of 3x3 plots of land, which I've tried to encourage people to make in several towns over the last few weeks, since we started getting new crops.

See: https://onehouronelife.com/forums/viewtopic.php?id=2160

Other lives I've spent the majority of time hauling soil and water, gathering rabbits, or making carts, many while raising children.

Because I spend so much time outside of town, I too noticed the forge to the north, and figured someone took a break from the big city to practice some work on their own away from town; I love seeing when people do that. Finding small settlements 10, 20 or 30 screens out from major ones is one of the joys of exploring and gathering resources from far away.

I saw the forge, surrounded by floors, walls and the nice fenced in area west of it. The roses were a nice touch and I like how they help to discourage people from taking the long straight shafts from the fence. Something I kind of wish Jason would just lock into place and add more types of gates to the game so we can have more realistic looking, and functional, corrals for various types of livestock.

I may have even overheard some of your conversations as I passed by while gathering rabbits, big rocks and other resources from the area north and northeast of there. It was pleasant to read players were teaching each other, which, sadly, doesn't happen as often in larger towns as people get swept up with the mess and are just running around like mad for food or looking for this tool or that item...

In my later lives I did see a few bodies, east and northeast of the big town, and east of your town, but I have not been acting as gravekeeper so much now that things have changed. Had I thought to check your name as I passed by while you were teaching, and made the connection between that and your body, which, I probably saw in a later life, I surely would have given you at least a burial with a gravestone somewhere near your abode. If you were one of the bodies with fur, or had a shovel, knife, bow or backpack. I collected most of that stuff up and saw that it found uses where it may be needed. One life I brought back three knives I found, to the big town, probably something I would regret if I'd lived there again to see them misused.

Come to think of it, I may have even asked you "Why do you use stone for walls?" To which you may have replied "Why use them for roads?" I hope you read my post linked here and can understand why I do that. While walls do look nice in some ways, as the game is now they most just get in the way. Now that people can put locks on doors, it's even worse.

Sidenote to Jason, if you happen to read this. I've read a lot of your blogs, and about your life as you've moved around the country. I find it a little disappointing, the juxtaposition of what you want in a community, IRL, coupled with the games and features you've made over the years. While it may seem fun to make games to experiment with these concepts, like the Castle Doctrine and now the weapons, locks and walls you are adding here in OHOL, and to see how they play out, I want to remind you you are also perpetuating the attitude that these things are necessary parts of our lives. It's not so much that they actually are, it's that if people think they are, than they remain so. And if you truly want to live in better, safer communities and want the same for others, I would implore you to reconsider adding such elements to games in the future. Games, their communities and the people who live with those people, are influenced through attitudes that we pick up through these experiences. I'm from the US too, and I've lived in some very low income neighborhoods like those you've stayed in due to your attempt to live a low impact, low budget lifestyle. Attitudes are freely shared, and bad attitudes which can lead to poor choices and behavior, do get shared more among people who are impoverished or even young, headstrong, angsty and naive. If you want the secret to civilization, it is found in people who rise above these things and do not perpetuate such attitudes, behaviors and ideas among their family, friends, or even strangers who they share their homes with. This is how we have risen, generation after generation, out of our primitive past. That and the culling of such people through war, murder and imprisonment. All of which I hope we will also see, are as primitive as we once were, no matter what sophisticated means we use to do these acts. I can only imagine the rest of the thoughts you've had on things such as this, but I feel you are a promising game designer, probably a really decent father, all fathers considered, and would be both a pleasure and a challenge to argue, debate or simply discuss such matters with. Though as a father of three already, a spouse and the lead and near sole designer of the development of this game, I can only imagine those things vying for your attention, were we ever to discuss such things. I'm not someone who would idolize you, though I've always had a level of respect for people who were comfortable coding for computers, the people on this planet I respect most are the physical scientists who grant life power and control over the universe; from the particle physicists to the cosmologists. They do wondrous things for life, so that we; humans, who can grasp the nature of their discoveries, can manipulate far more than our biology and chemistry would have otherwise allowed. In some ways your communications are like theirs; the way you have the power to manipulate people via code and technology. You still have a lot of future ahead, your influences through your children and your gaming communities, will echo through your own little fjord of humanity. May that echo be one the people of the future greatly appreciate hearing from the past.

Founder, thank you for that little home away from home. Even if it was never a place I hung my hat, it was still pleasant to see. May it not yet be lost to time, as so much of our works have been. Maybe in some future patch Jason will turn the Eve spiral inward for a change, and we can revist some of these site for a time, if anything is still left of them. Then these works of our past and present; in game, forum and in the videos of those who make them, these works and stories we tell today, will be relevant in, perhaps an archaeological way, to the future.

Woops, pretend this is an edit (since I don't like to edit the past) and replace where I said Founder, or addressed you, with Tea. >_<

For all my talk sometimes, I do tend to overlook a detail here or there, now and again.

Thank you for your help, and the part about me potentially coming upon one of your bodies, was meant for you.

Know I would have put your remains to rest, somewhere pleasant, respectfully.

Tea · 2018-06-17 21:23:13

I haven't been there for quite a while, so I don't know what our little place has become. But Founder, I think I found your bones and buried them

Those who helped build this place did an amazing job ! It's like a place far from the big city where you can stay and enjoy some quiet time

Mirelli · 2018-06-17 22:47:51

This place is dead now as far as I know. South city was looking REALLY bad so I went north and had a daughter who said she built the little village in the north. She wanted to stay there but a man from the south came up to us and told us to come back as they had no fertile women. I agreed to help repopulate and try to fix the farms... but the two men were coordinated griefers.

An old woman gave me her knife to “protect the town” before she died and then a man stabbed her. The other man stabbed my newborn son so I whipped out my own knife to try to protect the family I had left. Unfortunately stabbed my newborn daughter because she was on the same tile as one of the men then they got me and I told my only daughter left to just run, but I think she was too proud and wanted to avenge me. She had picked up my knife and tried to get him but they got her in the end, too.

I’m sorry I’m a terrible PVPer and I couldn’t protect you, my children :’( I should have just run north with you all.

If no one else respawns there, than I may have been responsible for the death of the town. I am so sorry. Neither of you were actually bad people, you were both saying paranoid things about the other people remaining. If the other boys, one of which may have been my son, thought to act to kill you, it's because they believed that you were one of 'the other people' who may have been responsible for previous murders. I don't know for certain if it was me, I'll look on the family tree...

Phew, while it wasn't me directly http://lineage.onehouronelife.com/serve … &id=345505 it probably was the same knives that eventually brought that lineage to an end 22 hours ago. My last life there was generation 36 and it lasted to 47 generations, http://lineage.onehouronelife.com/serve … &id=347385 Grats to the Nameless Eve [rolleyes].

Just look at that struggle the first 5 generations had to go through... here I thought I was originally there generation 3, I just said that based on the tech. I'm not sure what my name or words were, but I may have been more like generation 7 - 10, if that is the same line that founded the city... of that I'm not certain, can't see back that far on any of my personal family tree categories.

One thing is certain, I should have left all those knives in the woods and let only the most ambitious person make a knife with all that iron from the two mines east and northeast if they really wanted one.

I'm sorry for bringing them back.

FounderOne · 2018-06-18 07:17:28

Yeah, they really struggling in the beginning. I was first there in gen 11/12 I think and a big part of the main town was already build.

I thought it must have been a abandoned city.

It's not your fault. Just unresponsive use of knifes.
