My idea to workaround this was to have a "pregnancy" delay before being born that both the child and the mother can terminate to avoid dead babies (either by suicide or by "infantcide" by the mother)

Otherwise it is a mechanic that needs to be there to the gamificated nature of things. If people can't /die they will just suicide and potentially mutliple times in a lineage they just don't want to be part of.

One bigger caveat with the current system is that you need to be in the arms of your mother to /die, I don't know why. Sometimes I just type it and wait to be picked up to be able to hit enter... no already 1 year of age? Too late, need to run onto the next icesheet....

Well his intention wasn't causing grief... so one could try to reason with him. Or stop him with conventional means, this is part of the game. The issue with griefers (as with trolls) is there is no way to reason, because they *want* grief.

You are right that things get watered down by people broadening the term to much, but that doesn't mean that this kind of people with the intention to cause grief do not exist. You are not discussing them away by pointing out others that get mislabeled. And they have developed their strategy of "plausible deniability" to do intentionally do nothing but harm to the town they were born in.

I made this topic to make more people aware of this as I noticed many just don't realize that e. g. when they can't find a bucket to put water in since there are a docent filled with latex this is likely due to intended grief. Or to watch the pen if the same person comes again and again to sheer the last sheep until the compost cycle breaks and people start starving...

I agree, thats why I put on the effort to give a definition of griefer at least for this thread. It's all about the intention. One same action may be genuine stupidity/noobness or grieving, you can tell when watching a person a little longer and/or how they react on interaction about it.

As said, it's analogous to "troll". I absolutely hate it, when people call everyone in an online discussion a "troll" who disagree with them. Having a different opinion is not "trolling". Being stupid is not trolling. Having a strange opinion is not trolling. Trolling is the intentional act to stir up others and make any meaningful discussion impossible. Trolls don't care about any topic, they will just take and flip sides whatever suits their intention to divide and cause grief.

A griefer is one who's intention is to cause grief.

I agree.

This very much depends on the direction jason will want to give the game with the updates to come... are village to be set to be fighting over resources or are they about to be cooperating / trading and violence only as a means if one side tries to betray/steal.

PS: This is similar to the mother I was born to that just stood still and pestered they babies with some nonsense story (well ooookay so far) but refused to step two steps to the right on the desert edge instead of standing naked in the cold, because there "what about food wasting? there is enough pie anyway"... PS: It soon wasn't and this was my third kid born into that town that starved...

If one got that iron oneself, sure go ahead. Wasting someone elses work, because they did well... uh.

EDIT: Actually in case of building a third pump right next to two already existing... still, you're destroying a renewable resource for nothing...

Also it actually isn't resource sensible but maybe for the largest of largest towns when going on for a long time. Considering the efficienty of the coal vs. kerosin pump it would take a looooooong time for it to pay of the iron investment done in the whole chain.

Also I agree with pein: most of the water pumps in cities are pure waste. There is no reason for a third close by each other.

This is the issue with wearing clothes in the jungle. They become a death trap when touching a mosquito.

PS: Not only in the jungle, since mosquitoes can be hiding everywhere due to "hidden mini jungle biomes"

I'm an idiot

People were making ropes out of hemp way, way before newcomen machines.

Actually the story goes a satchel of hemp seeds used to be a standard equipment on ships. in case they fall ashore with broken sails, they'd got everything to regrow and make new sails and ropes. Given some time. It was part of the absolute emergency kit with the sextant and compass.

I just recently made an effort like this

and was told it was also not the first.

Maybe this one sticks around

IMO a forum sticky for this or something similar might be worth it.
