Eric the Innocent

I don't know how many curses I got but as I said in that life, I can talk in the forums. Eric was innocent, through and through. First hound life where I got heavily cursed at, although it was to be expected with the new people. Glad if we taught cursing at least.

Pictures below, summaries here:
Me murdering the first guy, Martin:
- Martin hovered around ungrilled geese as a kid
- later he asks for a chisel, I drop one next to him
- now he asks for a file
- I ask him does he need a knife
- "Yes", ok, for what? (I am running bread and sheep duty with my knives as I thought the two I had were the only knives)
- "Bread", okay, I go and check the bakery. No bread to cut. Tough luck, I say, he won't get a knife. "Nazi", he says to me. Promising.
- A bit later I see him get a lit shaft and run to kilns so I say "If you make a knife, I will stab you". I move next to him as he smiths.
- Blank huh. Stab. You won't be missed.
- Some boys gather to wonder what happened, I explain briefly.

Didn't know it then, but we had four or five knives (I ended up holding three of them, left one on the ground in bakery).
Thank goodness for newbie murderers though, you should be able to trick me to give you a knife.

Me murdering the second guy, Tom II:
- I see a man with a knife in hand run in behind me - I swiftly dodge, running south as if I hadn't noticed a thing - he bounces on my old tile, clearly missing a stab
- I ran through the town to the berry farm. Then I heard a murder scream.
- I arrived at the scene a bit late, saw a baby girl with a stab wound and nobody was nearby except the murderer sliding out of the screen (I have no mods, bad FOV)
- I chase him with a girl and a boy running after, I drop the knife a lot but land a hit on him - his response is a bit odd with him sounding quite harmless in comparison to usual griefers
- people find me and an elderly woman zooms off as I talk with the kids gathered next to me
- I come back to the town and hear curses going off, the elderly woman begs people to curse me
- I sit down with some starving babies, naming them (hi Angel II! Sorry for the generic name, I was kinda multitasking there), feeding them berries as moms are talking and ignoring them. I defend myself against the accusations as cursing goes on.
- Someone says Tom II was an accident. So I think he was trying to kill me and landed on the baby. I probably wouldn't have killed him if he hadn't ran off from the baby stabbing scene - I would've listened to Tom II's explanations if he was standing still. But well, he did try to stab me so not sure how it would have gone down if he hadn't ran. Maybe I would be stabbed to death instead.

Anyways, Eric worked his ass off for the town. I ran far to get carrots for compost to save the town when compost cut off, I smithed tools and made steel, I dried pottery, I cleaned the town and the sheep pen (skeleton cleanup, arranging items), I hauled mutton, I taught people, I tended to farms.

I was so tired in the end, I didn't feel like even trying to distribute my knives. I would've given one to Sam II, although I was worried that his presence and supportive words were because he wanted a knife from me. He just seemed nice. A braid girl believed in gramps, too. And Angel II at least recognized me.
So, in the end, I told them it will be a knife free for all soon, and died to old age.

Pics!

The murder of Martin:

The murder of Tom II:

I was saying he stabbed a girl baby and tried to stab me too; "Ne" means "Me". I didn't get a picture of the stabbed girl baby, was kinda busy chasing this guy.
Tom II, you might've been a good guy. Made me suspicious though when you ran off like a guilty dog. And well, you did try to kill me. A hound on hound situation I guess.
Your explanation over the baby was a weird one though; "Baby was deformed".

Aftermath:
"Why did you kill Tom?"

"Curse Eric", he is innocent.

It was I, and I stand by Eric's innocence.

Ah yes, dying berry bushes everywhere, no water left in wells, people dying in the desert heat with clothes on, no soil anywhere because of no compost, littering everywhere, people crafting knives, people moving tools and items from their places... Ah, heaven!

Joking aside, I know what you mean; there will be cool towns and cities, but it's gonna take a long time as veterans are stuck with newbies instead of each other. Newbies settle in bad places so survival is a struggle; free time for buildings and gambling is nonexistent due to having to carry dying towns. Lots of the good players are also just teaching their whole lives.
I made wooden floor path in a town once, and instantly newbies gathered to run on it, such technical advancement, such new sight! Hahah.

lol newbies are amazed at everything right now

Also what is a good place to thrive and survive?
I would say, maybe in the grasslands a few tiles away from desert/swamp biomes?
Desert for easy food like cactus and swamp for eggs/water?

I'm full noob aswell, only played 2 hours of the game so far, i plan to play a few hours tonight, starting in a bit

What you described is pretty much it, early on clay, water, soil, and grass biome for a variety of wild foods are important to get you started, then branches, wood, iron etc. become important. The best way to avoid starving is landing on a grass biome with desert tiles nearby, as temperature control is such a massive influence on hunger (2.5 squares/food per second vs. 20), so that while you're busy crafting you can alternate between the two, keeping your temperature, and thus hunger, ideal.

As one of those noobs (18 hours in now), encountering someone who took the time to teach me something was a massive benefit over someone who focused only on resource/crafting-based colony improvement, as just like in real life the passing on of knowledge is far better long-term for the colony, "teach a man to fish" yknow?
As steam users such as myself pour in, colony states and hopefully player retention rates will improve the most when the newbies learn what to do from their elders, although the influx of guides will slowly diminish that demand. Here's to a better experience for everyone ;D

I was streaming this as a little girl and was in or near the last 3 pics when taken. I didn't curse you because I didn't get the vibe that you were on a senseless killing frenzy. I was the one that 1st said "I think Eric is okay.", that lead another girl to say "I trust gramp."

I walked away after that but it seemed like you got around 8 curses. Maybe more, maybe less. Hope you didn't end up in Donkey Town. There will be a video saved in my twitch channel somewhere of my entire stream if you feel like digging around for the moments I saw.

In order to get to a big town state, you need a lot of water. The most amazing spots I've had as an Eve had a scattered desert that is mixed with a swamp, making ponds spawn in and out of desert tiles. The more ponds around, the better. You can never have too many. I played a life with a newbie Eve (Eve Flo) as her daughter Rose; she had the desert thing down and a nearby savanna filled with rabbits, but there was just two ponds around AND a bear cave on the left and a boar on the right. I told her this is too dry and set up a camp further away, but sadly the snake was too much and the lineage died few generations later.

So;
- many ponds
- preferrably no nearby snakes or bear caves, boars and wolves aren't too bad (bows and arrows to kill, only one arrow needed)
Biomes:
- grass biome nearby, only if it has lots of milkweed, maples and berries (if it has less than three bushes and little to no trees, it's not gonna help)
- desert next to swamp (farms at the edge of the desert or on mixed tiles; just to keep farmer kids warm), ponds should be visible from the farm - bunch of cacti is a big help, some towns live on cacti instead of berries
- savannah for bunnies; the closer the better
- badlands can be further, iron vein is a huge help
- no snow nearby, fishing (salt water ponds) is not that great

Lets see what jungle brings in.

Anyways usually camps have to compromise and get something good while lacking something good. Like warmth at the cost of nearby bunnies for example. Or having to settle on a swamp to get an ocean of ponds. As an Eve, I rather die than set up on "not ideal" spot. Many times I find the perfect place at the end of my life, make the camp, die to Old Age with no kids and hope I get to respawn there, or that someone else does (Eves that die to Old Age can spawn back to their old home markers and a death can trigger a location for an Eve to spawn).

Ooh, cool, I could check it out. Thanks!
Yeah I saw one girl talk how I just need eight curses.

One guy was asking, "how is it always you who I see with bloodied knife", like, if I kill a killer, blood spills. It was a very odd argument.
Also looking around me, we had so many women and children around, and I had killed none of them.
Ah well, I know it's not easy to distinguish good and bad.

I'm okay to be sent to Donkey Town. It's no issue. Sadly we may be down one teacher due to this but I'll have fun exploring for a great base!
And thank you for believing in Eric's innocence!

News! Seems that I didn't quite get to Donkey Town! Was back to play again to check if I went to D-Town, but nope, so I got to teach newbies again. It went kinda like this: "STOP EXPANDIN' THE BERRY FIELDS YE NUMBNUTS, YER SPELLIN' YER OWN DISASTER HERE!"
Well maybe not like that, but yeah. People constantly came to ask for hoes (I will give you none of those without explanations!), but we had no shears done (lambs littered the town, pen didn't have a corner block). Thank goodness I found the hidden file behind a willow tree so I didn't waste the last iron on a new file. I ran enough for milkweed in that life (no axe, needed hatchet).

I checked your video, yep, all those cursing dings going off... Had to replay few times to see what I missed, I didn't notice you ask me who I was or what most of the broken sentences were.

Gotta say, watching you eat berries from a suffering field when you are just 2 squares down does hurt. Owie. Food waste in a famine! You can hold onto a berry for a while to wait for four squares down, you have a hand! D:
