If you abandon me as a kid I will probably murder you if I grow up. You tried to kill me, i'll kill you. I don't care if you're the Pope.

Wait, you're choosing to murder innocent babies AFTER THEY ARE BORN because it's inconvenient and I am the one with issues?

Don't you understand the purpose of this game is an experiment on how you treat others? You just got a mark in the naughty column

Oh! so i guess this is also a good time to make my toga suggestion post? jk the insulation on that is too op imo.

I suppose the roman cities would have worked without togas just as well.

I see, well I've seen many ideas flourish and many explode.

The game has its phases were Jason will take input for critical issues and fix them. The community dies down and everything is good for a bit, then things rile up, Jason reads comments, and so on.

Basically, I know you didn't know about the karma system thing with jason, but if we are gonna rile up this community we are gonna need some constructive ideas.

You asked for my input, and I'm thinking that we start small, the problem with so many posts like yours is it's very very specific, and people such as myself, will find flaws in it rather than solutions because it's so geared to a perfect scenario or it's not realistic. Basically, we need general ideas for this, and I think I might have one.

I don't have a perfect godly plan that will "abominate" the curse system, but I do have a basic concept.

Instead of cursing people, and sending them to donkey town to rot and basically not learn anything but wanna quit. I suggest a more motivational idea, kinda like the curse system but life-based. So basically people can "curse" a person in that life they live in and only in that life, so basically, in the next life the "curses" won't carry over. But to get "cursed" you would need fewer points since it's per life.

So what happens when you get "cursed"? Well, I'm thinking that when you die, your next life you are an eve, but not in donkey town, a normal eve. In this eve life you live you basically have a smaller threshold for "curses" so if it was 4 per life normally, it's now 2 per life. Your goal is to die close to 60, not exactly, but close to it, without getting "cursed" more than once. This is a system that not only teaches you how to play but rewards your progressive life with being reintroduced into society without any issues.

Now the specifics are vague, but overall, I think it's way better than sending people to donkey town so they rot and learn nothing. Have them still with everyone else in same servers, but make them live a cautious and invigorating life where they learn and grow to be a better player.

Overall, the details are wack but the concept is general.

However i think its a horrible idea to get people that shouldn't be cursed to sacrifice themselves like a reverse lottery just because of a few bad apples.

Any system will have both false positives and false negatives, i.e. some people who get cursed but shouldn't have been, and some people who should get cursed but don't. And while you can make adjustments, anything that reduces false positives will increase false negatives and vice versa.

What I'm saying is that I'd be okay with making cursing a little easier and a little more common. Not much, but some. That will reduce false negatives (so fewer people who deserve curses will escape being cursed) but therefore it will also necessarily increase false positives (so a few more people will get cursed that didn't deserve it).

I'd say if someone roleplays a criminal, then its reasonable to treat them like one. They chose the role, your tokens are yours to decide what to do with. That doesn't mean you get a free pass to do whatever and not be judged or criticized for it (that's greifer/criminal style thinking), but things even out somewhat in the long run anyhow, because responsible people learn from the experiences.

Maybe you could have done something different when the new child was born. Drop them off with someone else or something. "Could you be godmother for my daughter?" It does seem to me that your dismissal of them may have contributed to the situation, even if their response was out of line. They might have picked a different target at least. They didn't stab you because of your teaching, but because of your treatment of them (to the extent they weren't just lying which is unknown).

The way I see it is while I can communicate my problems with others which can and does help, in the end I am responsible for reducing ill will and and responsible players' vulnerability to attack to the degree I can. I am not responsible for others actions, but my actions influence their decisions and the character of the situation.

I dunno, it seems like overall you made good use of that life, and I applaud teachers, I've benefited from their help a few times already. But greifers don't pick their targets 100% randomly, so avoiding small slights can be wise when possible. In the end it was their choice though. Humor can also be an important defense, as well. After all, it's your emotions that greifers and trolls are targeting. So I wouldn't be to harsh on Greep. His story helps with understanding the whole situation.

You got roleplayed.

No, this is seemingly the new meta among griefers since a few days now the "subtle sabotage with plausible deniability" days are over (maybe thanks to my post about it), the new meta is using the slightest excuse to cause drama and then claim your not a griefer, because of the "justified" drama...

Okay...no. That isn't 'you got roleplayed'. That is just somebody being a dick. I've gotten ignored by my mother's PLENTY of times - it doesn't make me be decide to kill them. Sometimes that person is just busy and it is clear.

That person may have very well been trying to stir the pot, as it was. Sorry that had to happen to you.

You got roleplayed.

I also don't totally agree with your central spot for raising children, unless there is a babysitter it's a waste of the mothers time and waste of the towns town, you can easily take care of your baby while you do your work, the only one that can be a problem is smithing, but you can do much more good that if you see the smith has had a child in the middle of active work, you take the child and take care of it for the smith while they finish their current active job.

There are basically 2 things to consider: diurnal temperature variation and amount of light available. My proposition: 3 minutes day, 0.5 minute dusk, 2 minutes night, 0.5 minute dawn. With temp food in halfway from the worst to the best you got an adult to survive 4 minutes with full hunger gauge at beginning. Kids with 4 bars would survive on it from 10 to 80 seconds, depending on temperature. Adding some safe margin, it means newborns would need to be fed once-twice per night, and adults after breakfast may survive up to the evening without food.

1. Diurnal temperature variation:

Which means, temperature can be rising between 6am to 4pm and decreasing the rest of day with a constant rate. This would make a time window: 11am - 11pm the above average temperature work period. This physics also explains, why people evolutionary developed preference for just after dusk activity rather than right before dawn.

Such an implementation may be neutral to total calories consumption if people stay outside the whole day and night, thanks to linear dependancies. But the usage of shelters, bed, tents or bedrolls for the around dawn time would help to keep temperature perfect, keep people together and make chit chats. This would mean a less effort on farming with increased time for talking. And even during night, very determined player can keep playing. Full rabbit/wool outfit would be recommended for sure.

2. Available light.

Thanks to twilight, we can enjoy sunlight for extra 2h24m every day, though much weaker. This would make 50% of time a daytime, 10% a twilight and only 40% a night. And even then, if dusk is at 6pm and temperature is decreasing from 4pm to 6am, you've got still around 40% time of night start when temperature is over average.

Personally, I would enjoy if night would mean only a small circles with our char or nearby light sources be visible. The rest should be covered with black

What does it mean? People would like to stay in building early morning, this is time to make food and consume before rest of the day. After dusk and twilight, they can still be active, at temperature above average, although only near light sources. Such a concept would introduce an extra cycle, more fun crafting (beds, bedrolls, tents for explorers) and increase ingame communicating, as staying still and talking sometimes would be a new meta.
