Questions To The Daytime Players

alphabetter · 2019-01-26 00:54:35

ive got the day off today, thought id enjoy playing some ohol, since i dont normally get to play during the day, cause i work until late at night. except, so far today, it's been absolutely awful! ive been: shot at repeatedly for yelling at my own mother (who refused to feed me and kept yelling at the woman caring for five kids to go work...) not to waste soil when she was using three piles, stabbed for telling someone to eat stew instead of munching berries as an adult, killed by snowballs bc i told everyone the snowballer was hitting my toddler sister repeatedly, had three bears brought into my very basic eve camp before i had time to go and kill them and block off the caves, been told 'cry more' when i told an eve she had a bad spot bc there was no swamp anywhere near- let alone any water, dealt with someone who refused to plant any berries before we had sheep and kept taking my soil to make STEW PLANTS, got up to a nineteen yum bonus and had absolutely no children despite it being the middle of the day and on perf temp over half the time, and much more that i cant even remember all of because im so frustrated.

now, my question is, is this always how it is during the day???? what makes you keep playing when it is???? at this point, im starting to question all of your sanity, and my own for playing as long as i did! i know we all have bad days, but it just seems to never end today, and ive got such a headache from griefed life after griefed life after griefed life that i just have to know.

ps, sorry if this is against the rules or annoying, but i couldnt find anywhere else that was a good place to put it to get responses since i cant find a link to the supposed discord, and i couldnt find any rules to check...

there are some people who are different timezone and they play similar hours as your daytime
i wouldn't say non americans are worse players
teenagers suck at games, in every nation, i guess non americans got a bigger spread on weirdo scale which can be very good or very bad

jason was testing stuff so he moved a lot of servers left an right, and wasn't really a hope for anything to last so people didn't took too seriously
with bigger population is always like that
when people getting better at game they try to force themselves into power and they are really salty when they cant do it

im at a point where just make my own outpost and try to team up with people who can move 50 tile from a camp

I play a lot at random times of the day and night, because my work schedule is very irregular. I can't say I've noticed any particular time of day being consistently worse. What I have noticed is that some days are just awful for no obvious reason, except that maybe you're encountering the same handful of jerks life after life. It sounds like you may have hit one of those.

I'm a daytime player, simply because I need sleep at night lol. I agree things can escalate and get agressive pretty quickly. I mostly choose to stay quiet in my lives, I only talk if I need to say something important. I think the text limit and the lack of context (like sarcasm) makes people quick to assume the worst.
In one of my recent lives I was trying to teach my son compost, with another baby in my arms. I threshed the wheat in the farm area, and I agree it wasn't the best place to do so but I was teaching while juggling a baby. This man came up and started nitpicking "Don't thresh right in farm. Very stupid." Like if he thought it was so stupid he could have just grabbed a bowl and emptied it out elsewhere. He also started hounding on me for not being in a desert biome? Its not like I was in the middle of a tundra. Anyway I just chose to ignore him. If I argued I probably would have been dead.
In another recent life I was a guy, second generation to an eve. She was in a really good spot and we rushed iron tools since we had so many plentiful resources. After eve died there was two fertile females, every single female baby they had killed themselves. One woman had two pairs of twins, the moment the twin girls were born they began to run off. I managed to catch one and said "Please stay we need girls" she said "N" and promptly used that modded command to die instantly.
My stories aren't as bad as yours though! Were you in a big town for most of these? Most often people in big towns are murder-happy.

I really hate how many players suicide if they spawn in the wild

be happy about it, you wouldn't get any use of them anyway

they either pro who doesn't like the spot and grinding again
or noobs who want to leach on you
it's the same every day, you find a good town you want to go back

twins, especially twin girls are useless 99% of cases
triplets and quads even worse

Um what do you mean by daytime? Which timezone? American? European?

I'm from europe and play mostly at normal hours after school ( anywhere between 4 pm to 9 pm) As it gets later I definitely see more veterans around. Before steam release i used to recognize most bad players and when theyre playing. There used to be a racist person I had fought like three times in a week lol. He would only play at early hours so I knew when to expect him showing up. If you encounter so many bad players in one day, they're most likely the same few people getting reborn. Oh also before donkey town - pro griefers were common at later hours too. And I don't mean the ones who like cut all the wheat, maybe killed two ppl.

I mean the ones who would use a glitch to murder a whole fricking village then make a thread about how awesome they are for doing that. On this forum.

Daytime, nighttime, timezones, it doesn't really matter. Every continent, country and group of humans have rotten individuals. Or individuals having a bad day.

Yelling and arguing with people for long times usually ends up with someone getting killed. If you are quiet, it won't be you. Maybe instead of yelling about "not using three soils it wastes soil" you say "use two soil pieces, it saves soil, it's a good trick". Be smart with critique.

Someone snowballing sister: snowball them back. No need to make it other people's problem.
'Tho last time I got snowballed, a man instantly got into guard mode, ready to kill the snowballer. I didn't care, she never got me again (also, Eves, make sure tundra is far so people don't snow grief).

Bad Eve spot: their loss, just leave if they don't appreciate your critique. Again, say "let's make a warm camp in jungle" or "there is water far, let's move" or "I found a good spot, let's move". Or grab a sister who is open to moving.

Dunno why someone would stab for the stew thing, maybe it wasn't because of that? How often do you stay to argue and vent about things? If you criticize in a positive manner and make 'friendly reminders' people don't get into murder mode. "Hey man! Here, try my stew, it's a better food than berries, really useful and fills you up in one bite".

Uuugh bear towns. Eves staph. They are a death sentence. Every bear cave gets activated sooner or later.

Early stew can be great. But people have different ideas what is truly good early game. I'm interested to have a camp go without berries for early game, just to see how different it'd be.

I play at evenings in Europe and all lives differ greatly. Usually they are nice and people are nice. I can't remember the last time I have gotten killed. I have instructed players to do things differently and usually they comply or then debate against my instructions - which is fine. A man used one soil and tilled, I said using two saves steel, he said we had plenty of steel. Didn't stay to argue that steel is precious and compost is easy to make so I let him be, 100% efficiency won't keep a town alive during nighttime infertility or server population moving.
Before Donkey Town I had two common griefers playing at the same hours. Not that I always saw them, I just had more chance of bumping into them. After Donkey Town there was a polish pair of twins who usually started killing people - they were quiet but sometimes dropped in a word or two. Haven't seen them in a long time.
And yes I also remember a racist or two at Steam release, they have disappeared too.

I theorize that the Steam players are slowly leaving the noob phase and start to deflect criticism as they think they know better, having played tens of hours now. This shortens their fuse and they are quick to judge. Not all of them, but some of them, entering the "teenage phase" of a maturing player. "I do it my way, you are just a hater".

I play from about noon till 6am EST, most days, some days 6pm till noon.

Every hour is the same.

Much as I love you folks, you've all become like NPCs to me, except the few of you that occasionally make my job easier. You deserve real love.

I'm not really sure why that is. I think it's because all the teenyboppers have a certain time when they play, which would probably be ... sometime after school on weekdays and maybe early morning or afternoon on weekends? There are teenyboppers in other places too but not as many.

Excuse me?? I'm an asian communist teenager and I'm like a god at this game. Just because you're white and over 18 doesn't mean you get to make the rules.

not sure if you troll but that's exactly what im saying: if you get offended by any crap, and hold grudge for an hour, than you should know what im talking about
you got issues, you solve it or forget it, or solve and forget it
and if you are really smart, let others say you are smart
yeah, i make rules
