The Dumbest Idea: Baby Alarms

A challenge I have for all of you: Don’t speak a single word in your lifetime ever.

Not even F.

Now that we have emotes that make sound, you could repeatedly use two different ones as an annoying alternative to ‘F’.
AKA switching between /ill and /yoohoo with your arrow keys.

If you live to old age without a single word, link it here.


I don’t talk in-game unless it’s dire.

No one? Just me?

I take babies who do this to the goose stump. Much better to use /sad, and /blush and even /hubba so your mum will like you. A loud kid is not wanted no thankyou.

I do think this can be done. I've met players who didn't talk and gotten on with them just fine...

Being vocal is a way to get attention and for someone to pick you up. I’ve been silent and died while doing /sad because no one wanted to pick me up.

I yooHoo'd a mum over earlier to a babe that was starving.

But i find /love the best way to get liked. And fed.


I prefer to call my children after final fantasy characters.
- Love making sauerkraut! - Hate letting kids die.

I miss surnames. Remember surnames?

In my case the moms starve me because I don’t speak.

I tried /Ill + /yoohoo and my mother tried to put me on a snake, I managed to run and my aunt fed me, my mother shooted my aunt, some years after she shooted me.

I think it's smart for a baby to whistle whenever it wants food as if you've played the game long enough it's easy to accidentally ignore the sounds of a crying baby.


fug it’s Tarr.

Re: The Dumbest Idea: Baby Alarms

I think I find whistling good since it helps you remind that a baby is about to starve.
but the ill and yoohoo is pretty uhh... unnecessary. Maybe if you find some good shit or are being accepted for proposal of marriage idk.
Leave that shit to RP, don't even consider rubbing the new things dry until you get bored of using them.


If you ever enter Pea (Helkama turns into random name) family, you need the lottery ticket picked up. My baby names given can be absolutely random.

Re: The Dumbest Idea: Baby Alarms

I tried a game of just whistling for food. I nearly starved before getting my hands and then I had to speak to explain my issue.

I think you intentionally ignore the crying babies; it's not an accident when I do it. I think, maybe it's a fun mini game for a child to find the nursery.

Re: The Dumbest Idea: Baby Alarms

To me this isn't even a challenge, its my way of life.
something like 70% of all my lives are speechless, much more work is done and people can generally figure out most things you want them to do by pantomiming.

I'd have more but in my most recent 5 elder deaths 3/5 I apparently found it necessary to speak. 
If you want to be fed, /sad and spam click a food item and 80% of the time any passerby will feed you.

Same for the most part. This challenge is for talkative people/RPers.
