Sausage Town: 5 Guys made an organized camp

One of us left on a horse.
One of us gave up at 49.
We all made the camp tidy, everything stacked, the nursery ready. But there would be no children in this town.

The chaos and pressure vanished without the kids. I think many kids are newbies. They move things without knowing the trouble they cause, they gobble inefficiently and yet manage to starve. They stand with their big goofy heads in your way. Women who are having one kid after the next are not much better. They scramble frantically, I scramble frantically, trying to get something done without forgetting to feed the child.  If only we old men could have grown a child in the cabbage patch. I think someone suggested that once. A cabbage child spell to let all dude camps with resources save our civilization.

Oh we even had a little iron mine. And each and every tool, but no reason to make more.

The 5 guys in our town could hardly dent all the food we produced. Stews and pies of every flavor, the berry fields were perfectly tended and full.

(curse those who leave a single berry on the domestic bush, one of the first things I do in a town or camp is eat or pick and place in a bowl every bush with just one berry, single berry bushes give a false impression of abundance. the one exception are those gooseberry bushes near sheep pens, and of course wild bushes during the early game)

We even grew potatoes, because we could. Who could stop us? Only the cruel dice of mother nature that dealt our mother and my late sister one boy after the next.

In any case, it was a tidy camp, a near perfect camp, but it had no reason to exist without those agents of chaos, the children.

Re: Sausage Town: 5 Guys made an organized camp

The best-run and most peaceful towns that I've been in have all been sausage towns.   

Just a bunch of guys, working efficiently and quickly together, without strife or drama.   But the hopelessness slowly  overwhelms us ... each guy becoming older and older, turning grey, with no new babies to pass on our backpacks and full sets of clothing.  And we each die, until there is just one old man left to stack up the pies and water the pristine fields one last time before the town becomes completely silent and still.

Such bitter-sweet perfection.

Playing OHOL optimally is like cosplaying a cactus: stand still and don't waste the water.

Reminds me of the Dick Church that came into being after me and 5 other adult males realized we were all that was left of the town haha. My mom'd been building the church originally for actual religious reasons [she even screamed at me to repent when I was born lmfao], and after all the girls died we kinda just took over.

Tried making children out of lambs and changing our genders and all sorts of weird shit lmao. It was a great time.

Re: Sausage Town: 5 Guys made an organized camp

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.
