One Hour One Life Forums

I do want to add that OHOL is not a safe space. Internet is not a safe space. By playing an online game you are putting yourself into an environment of strangers. If the strangers bother you, it's the best to move away from them. Doesn't sound fair to be the one who has to move away, but honestly, you can't change people - but you can change your company.

There is this guy who hates when people joke about cancer or use it in meme-like ways because his grandma died to it. He would ask people to stop using the word, even demand it. But there would always be a random using the word. He was fighting a losing battle and let himself get upset over these strangers. At some point I had to intervene and say that he will never get people to stop, so either he has to shield himself from strangers or accept that some people are different and he can't change them.

It's unfortunate we can't make things proper and 'safe', but if we could, we would be a hivemind.

Can't recall a moment when a rape joke or a racist joke was funny to me. I also don't find poop jokes funny, but I know some people who do, but haven't met anyone who laughs at rape jokes.
I've seen people pretend to rape babies in OHOL, there was nothing funny about it. I wasn't offended or angry, I was just blank faced and bothered that some people would even do that. It's hard not to think about the articles I've read about messed up people and what they did to babies/children.

To me, the fact that 'it's not okay' doesn't make it funny. The fact it's a game makes me not angry about it.
I am a rather serious person and don't find a lot of things funny overall though.

Hahah, I know this. But I still think it should be better than this. Scanning trees with mouse is not great gameplay.

I NEVER use /die and I let all my kids decide if they want to stay or not without getting upset about it. I have no power over how some random foreign person spends their hour in the game. Nobody has power over anyone else, no matter how you want your line to continue. I still think people who WANT to keep a town going should have a way to come back to it themselves so they don't have to force their kids to stay to please them...

I just find it flabbergasting that people believe they can force others to stay in a life.

Immature, selfish people generate more griefers.
Problems of a game is not a reason to start sabotaging or hindering fellow players. You are taking things in crazy serious levels where you rather throw a fit and start punishing people by becoming someone who "creates chaos" whatever that means.
It's not the community doing it, not the game doing it, it's YOU doing it. Your choice. Your immature choice... Very narcissistic to try and push the blame onto others or onto a game. "Well if I can't get what I want from you guys, then I'mma rebel and become something you wouldn't like! Hah! Take that!"

Sorry but this really ticks me off.
Especially as someone who always stays in a life to do what is needed no matter what. Is the Hope, is the one to fix a town. Doesn't deserve any additional crap from others.
How great to hear that some bitter b-- fellow is now out there making it a goal to create chaos. Some experiences I was not a part of made them mad and now I get a taste, along with other people like me - wow.

^This a million times.
And I hear people run if they want to be born as the other gender, so they'd reroll to get back.

You did feel compelled to take a part in the discussions here. https://onehouronelife.com/forums/viewtopic.php?id=5785

A griefer is not simply a killer but a killer is a griefer. If you take part in a way or form in hindering other players and sabotaging while knowing it, you are a griefer. Whether you keep griefing or not is up to you.

I wouldn't kill your descendants, but honestly I wouldn't be keen on helping your family out either. I don't share your views of "justified griefing"; for science, for anti-griefing, for helping Eves.
Reminds me of that one player who said they killed people in a town hoping they'd spawn into her ongoing Eve line. Terrible. So selfish. Why do people decide they have the right to force people into things they find justified and right?

Ayyyy thank you for this!
Made my night. <3
Gonna play a life soon, third one after my hiatus and forum lurking.

I think this IS how towns should die. How families should die. People choosing to not live there. It's the end. Even if you want to keep going, they have the freedom to disagree.

That said, many still think they can get back to their lineage or town but they're actually on a lineage ban/area ban they don't know about. Recently someone even mentioned in a post how they had issues getting back to a family only to be told they can't get back because they had a lineage ban on, so they had toggled through families in vain, thinking they will roll the place they want to see again.

Yeah. It wasn't her town (referring to topic title). Innocents got crap because of a personal 'fight' here.
The carrots may have been farmed by her, so one should ask if they can help (if you want smooth teamwork and to avoid screwing up a project)...

I had two racists in one life (I was the lone darkest skinned male in town they focused on), I nearly turned myself from a hard worker to a leech so they couldn't benefit from my work. But I didn't do it, because there were like 6 other people around, and they deserved my help. Worked like crazy and the racists starved on their own.

I always defaulted to this view of "sky babies" being wanderer male babies, or bastard babies, rather than celestial babies.
Overall I think they should stay as part of the game, and partnerships should be acting as boosts. Lack of a partnership would most likely mean you'd be losing to partnered ladies when competing for babies though.

I wish we had more ways to track down others to meet up. With zoom out, I have been able to find dying villages by finding the smallest traces of people, but without the mod, I probably wouldn't have had found so many.
Here is an "Adam story" of mine when I found a struggling new Eve and became her Adam, as I was the sole survivor of my Eve mother's family; https://onehouronelife.com/forums/viewtopic.php?id=4931

It kinda sounds like a forced responsibility for elders.

Hit 50? Start building old man, that's your primary function now. You're a douche if you don't use your last 10 minutes to do this one thing you're granted to do.

What if I want to just chill those last moments? Someone would certainly be disappointed if I waste my last minutes like that while having a 'superpower' active...

Check out my thread and pics of some genetics fun!

We also talked with Jason about swappable parts vs ready made full characters.

I'd love RNG parts and more unique characters. I don't know why but the lottery style excitement over my looks or my kids' looks is just something I really like.
I've played this game called Niche - a genetics survival game, where you inherit genes and have a variety of swapping parts which together build your animals into differing shapes, sizes and styles. It's really cool.
