babies are not kids yet.

Lower than 10 and older than 50 it's difficult to freely move due to the low food store.

As woman if you do not want to abandon children you have about 10 to 14 and 40 to 50 -> 15 minutes.

On signs are okay, on doors or chests locks are nothing but trouble.

Anyway waste of valuable iron.

Wikipedia, being bored of the game is not necessarily a condition.

Personally I would also not focus on the "unintended way" so much. A griefer is a person that gets a kick of feeling from the empowerment of having made or many others angry or destroyed their work.

This is understandable, I mean destroying an eve-village that would have likely died of anyway is not a (sick) feeling of empowerment. Of course griefers look for big towns. The anonymity the bigger the place helps too.

I've never griefed in OHOL, that is doing bad stuff unpurpose. I may have made the one or other bad decissions that had ill effect on others tough. I experimented with griefing in other online games, simply because I wanted to understand it. Made me feel bad tough.

If something is griefing or part of (role)play is all about the intention. For example baby snatching, if you play a tribe that wants to grow by baby snatching from a town and then raise the children, fair enough. In terms of survivability it might be smarter to play collaborative but anyway all fair and square in my opinion.

If you do baby snatching to lock somebody up and force feed him, only to enjoy the idea to have some player somewhere being miserable they cannot suicide, they cannot respawn, then this would be griefing.

Link to YouTube or it didn't happen.

I'd rather have bears go out randomly from time to time to create drama as real PvE.

Just to be sure, I'd run a SMART check on your hard disk to see if it is about to fail. This may also be something else, but I have had these kind of effects before a fail... Maybe this comment helps you to save your data in time.

Yup, if you want to play war, go and play PUBG or fortnite (battle royal) or I don't what they are all called.

I really don't like the tech tree go onto developing UZIs, tanks, air bombers, ICBM nukes, autonomous killer drones, "extended interrogation" waterboarding.. *sigh*

Teaching can in my opinion only realistically start in childhood when the kid can speak a few letters and already can start monkey-see-monkey-do. And that wouldn't need to be a mum but a worker doing his/her job.

But yes, a good nurse would drop off / sent a newbie kid at a place of teaching once it reaches childhood. Until then it really just a wait and 'F' game..

Nurses don't need fire when in a jungle or the edge of a desert biome possibly with the combo of bear rugs.

Unfortunally many newbies don't get that. Have already been put in the fire in the desert ...

"should" isn't ment here in a normative way, but what statistical thinking would imply. At first sight as a woman you 'should' have 6 children if the playerbase triples during your life...

I don't understand your position tough. You are advocating a total luck of the draw system, but at the same time criticizing any idea that would polish some rough edges of that "child-clue-gender-lottery" as not being perfect but still have a considerable random component in it.

For example, judging by the average age of your 'n' last lives isn't perfect yes. Yes there a free loafers (which would reduce my guess on clue-percentage even somewhat) and there are murders. But judging from my family trees only a small percentage of children get murdered and a good portion of them may have deserved it as I did bore griefers as well. It ain't perfect and it may be unlucky if you "one almost guaranteed to become elder" child turns out to be freeloafer.. but it ain't worse as the total luck of the draw responsible for most family tree wipes sooner or later

Yesterday following thought occurred to me. I played one of these dull female lives in a larger town. Even before I could set of to make a backpack I started popping out babies like crazy. So I went to the bakery and spent most of my life nursing for the kids and some backing. It was boring and the kids constantly interrupted getting anything useful to do. But on the other hand, I did get that family line on, yes? No! Looking at the family tree none of that many kids that I had to care of and kept interrupting me made it to become an adult, only one guy made it to 30. Everyone else died before 10. A life utterly wasted.

Now the taught is, suppose the amount of players online stays about roughly equal. How many children should I have as a female? Actually only two. If every player would be fertile, everyone would have to have about one child if the playerbase stays constant. But since only half of them are, females should get about two. However how many did I get? Six. Why? Well guess because only 15-20% of the playbase got a clue, everyone else seems to spawn in fast cycle life after life and dying young. Which soon ends them up as Eves further damaging established towns taking away players.

How about as female we're at least guaranteed to have 1 of our kids to have a clue? Preferably if the famliy line is thinned out a female? Easy way to judge, did they in their last life became an elder or died young (skipping suicides as death before 4)

Well sabotaging and enjoying other peoples (real not role played) misery is what griefing is about. You are talking about a different thing then.

There is no "roleplay" in continuing to shear the last sheep the second it is unwatched until the compost cycle breaks and to counter that guarding the pen a whole life is a boring job. There isn't "roleplay" as in running into the bakery and put on an adobe on the oven to make it a kiln. There isn't a "roleplay" in running around town and sharpening all the stones you can find and turning all the flint into arrowheads (which can be a huge annoyance in an older town where you have to go quite a way into the wilderness to find rocks/flint). There isn't a "roleplay" in filling each and every bowl with something useless hard to empty and clutter all the town with it. And yes to the other thread, there isn't a "roleplay" in popping out as a baby, let yourself being fed and then run away full speed to poke bears just to be likely reborn in this village again. You can do this quite a few times until the 30 minute lineage ban kicks in.

Would the game be utterly boring if none of these things happened? I doubt it. And bears would better be just naturally go out of their cave every so often to hunt for food.

In my opinion it is all about proper balance. You will never be able fully stop toxic players that play to enjoy others misery. But you can balance the amount of input they have to give with the amount of damage they can cause. When as in before the curse system, due to fast respawn mechanics and little input required, a tiny minority, can disrupt a vast majority in several villages for good. Something is broken. And if it gets too much and there is too little to oppose it, it will make stop people playing.

In my opinion the game is in it's core a "PvE" not "PvP". And no, society didn't evolve to handle criminals. Because then it would have been better off everyone would just life by themselves as some animals do. Societies evolved to handle nature as community... as also many animals live naturally in a herd. And thats not to stop "griefer animals".
