What happens every time I leave town...

futurebird · 2019-04-03 22:16:35

Some of the time the town can get overwhelming with all of the action and noise and talking so if I'm a dude or if I'm about to hit 40 I grab the horse and ride out to get milkweed or iron or both. It's always needed and I can come back with 4 lassos right quick.

But, whenever I do this when I come back there is some kind of nonsense going on. Murders, baited bears, suspicious puppy farm, etc.

Is this a coincidence or do other "cheerful worker" type players also notice this? I mean I don't do very much to put a stop to nonsense and nonsense is very common, but when I come back once and there is a bear loose (Why do people just stand there looking at the bear?? I've only ever been eaten in the wild trying to kill them...) things calm down I go away again and this time I come back to 4 murders.

It's annoying since I can't sort out who did what when this happens.

Anyone else? I'm kinda glad to "miss" the "action" but still murder chains kill good towns.

Same stuff happens to me. There's little one can do when the drama/stabbing's already in full swing besides warn any kids you have or other players that seem mostly responsible to stay away from all of it and who to worry about. You can't see what's going on outside the small frame we're given to see so who knows what transpired half the time. I don't enjoy killing other players at all, but I'll do it if it's pretty cut and dry that they're just there to mess stuff up.

Some people enjoy drama. I just hope the pointy end of the knife ends up in them, not me.

I can't speak for anyone else, but I am at the point where bear attacks don't even upset me that much. I just work around the bear. They wander off or get shot eventually. This too shall pass ....

I was born in a town with no clothing and thought "I'm going to be the best trapper" I went out of town, found milkweed made traps and did my first run back, everything was fine. I found a lot of milkweed so I used a rope to make a cart, made some baskets in the wilds and brought more back. Came back to this scene.

I mean, should I just stay in town? I'm pretty vigilant about grabbing and eliminating excessive knives (town this size needs only two)

Anyway the clothing shortage was uh... solved. Don't know if the town will make it.

towns are in most cases just bad,
cause the probability of a big number of bored jerks & roleplayers rises
they don't work, they wait till there is enough problems so constructive players are overwhelmed with work & vulnerable to attacks
or they even help to agreviate the situation by griefing

so, yeah
maybe if only one constructive player, who if staying would be fixing stuff leaves, the number of jerks rises in proportion

elegantly put, exactly what i'm saying

also why a BLESSING SYSTEM would improve the game, tilt it towards constructivity

It's not your fault, people just distribute knives and bows to wrong people and things begin to escalate.
It happened to me many times, I've distributed knives to wrong people disguised as trustable people, and began killing right after, needing me to retaliate and take them down.
People need to RP a little bit to the point that they can get to know folk in town and not let knives be distributed to utter strangers (toddlers, unrelated ppl, ppl you don't simply talk to at all.)
