One Hour One Life Forums

I ran away from this pretty big town I was born into at about the age of 15. Some old woman wanted to play a game with dice, where the person who rolled a lower number got stabbed. I won, and reluctantly stabbed her. I realised how crappy the town was. There were three murders in my life, only one was killing a griefer, the rest were gambling bets. Plus the town was in a complete mess, everything was dying.

So I changed my mind and decided to just become a nomad. Who knows, I could find another town.

In the end, the only sign of civilisation was a dead Eve camp a short walk away. I grabbed three arrows, my knife and a carrot to continue my foodchain. Then I just left.

There were many bears around town from long gone griefer babies. I took them all out, but just left the skins I cut off lying there with the body. I could tell how far I was getting, just by seeing the reduced amount of human interaction. Fewer carrot seeds, no bears, and fewer animals reproducing. I must've walked a bit further than 1k away from town, considering I wasn't going in one direction the whole time. I did leave incomplete snowmen along my path of wildlife slaughter, as a sort of landmark.

The whole life was just exploring and shooting tons of animals. It was awesome, and I left skins and such on all the animals as evidence that I passed through. I think my motive was also to leave a mark across a wide area in hopes of people finding me or my town, or at least the remains. Let me know if anyone actually came across these snowmen, or dead turkeys next to Bison, or geese lying limp in their ponds.

Was in server 1, born into that town with the gorgeous architecture at the centre. It was where all the gore was at, a triplet decided to stab eachother to escape it. It caused a lot of drama, and I tried to ignore it and get on with shepherd stuff. With all my thread I gathered up, I decided to make a medical station in the centre, near the fire. By that time, I had become fertile, and decided to stick around the fire and become a nurse. I told all the mothers to bring their babies and some food to me, so they could get on with their own work. I remembered a lot of faces from then. The ones that stuck to mind were Nyx, Joey, Faron, Aron, and one more girl with red hair (I've forgotten , but she apparently built the nursery over the course of two lives). My pads even came to good use when a bear struck the town. It was taken out with ease, and I managed to save everyone who came to me! Aside from one suicidal baby who wanted to waste our pads, *AHEM* ERIN STORM *AHEM*.

I grew too old just after raising the last baby, and found Prince Storm looking for a new heir (There was a monarchy going around, which I wanted to ignore) but I suggested a few of my little ones who I saw working really hard anyway. By talking and raising all these people, I got to see most of them all grown up, and they expressed their thanks to me as I was dying. It was a really wholesome life. I keep forgetting to get screenshots though...

Karol, what were you doing? You saw the berry field! You saw how we had no water for about 15 years! Why did you waste milkweed on getting a horse, we needed a bucket more than anything!

All our wells were pumps and deep wells, and the town foolishly relied on one bucket. Some griefer was smart enough to steal that bucket and took it where no one would find it. Then it was a race against the famine. That's why I took the lasso from your horse and cut it into pieces so we wouldn't die an almost inevitable doom.
And then you shot me for it.
WHHYYYYYY?!?!

In the first 40 years or so of my life, we cleaned up a city that had been slaughtered. It took time to get back to grips, with bones literally covering the farmland and forge. My mother died, Bear Dragon, and I wanted to finish a newcomen base I saw. I was completely new to this, and had to hurry as my time was running out.

First thing's first, the boiler had no pump in it. I had to get some rubber in order to finish it. It wasn't a long walk, but snakes did shorten my stay. I was rushing too much and completely forgot to get the sulphur. It took two firings, but I got the tire done, and therefore the boiler.
I fixed it onto the newcomen base, and went to find the rope that lingered in the sheep pen.
Great, now that's done, so now it's just the yew shaft and crude piston for the hammer!

Newcomen hammer was finished, and I also got some shafts ready for the interchangeable parts. It was a tedious walk from the pump to the hammer, but I got the water in the boiler with some charcoal, and fired up both the forge and hammer.
It was the first time I had used it, and it sounded and felt so awesome to use it. I knew I needed four wheels, but the hammer ran out of steam after the third. I was getting a bit panicky, seeing as my hair was already grey.

Last part was getting the rubber and the final wheel, as well as the actual drilling part of the bore. Fire up the forge and hammer one last time, and start smithing a blade as well as the final wheel. File the blade, fit on the wheel and try to put on the blade. I forgot to get the rubber, and I already forgot where I got the rubber last. Even worse, I was in my last shrivelled state, I only had five years left.

I loaded up the horse cart with a bucket and two bowls, for kernels and sulphur.

My goal was in sight. I came home, narrowly avoiding the snakes, and managed to get the rubber all done in one firing. As my song was ending, I finished the newcomen bore mechanism and rejoiced! My work was done.

So, I told everyone about how proud I was, and how now we could start thinking about kerosene. However, I should've expected that no one knew what the hell I had made. The update only came out a few hours ago. Still, great to experience this kind of stuff.
