One Hour One Life Forums

This was one of the more strange lives I had recently.

Born as daughter in an average village to one of those newbie moms. She was sweet but standing in the cold, picking me up every second and munching berries like crazy. *sigh*. I told her to stand warm at least and I'm fine without picking me up all the time, but due to the char limit didn't bother to tell about pies vs. berries (and I didn't know yet if there were available). One info at a time isn't bad either.

My childhood consisted as often when I'm not given a backpack making one. There were many rabbits available already, but I had a real issue finding a freaking flint. Well of I went with a basket to gather a thread and a flint, coming back somebody skinned them. Looking around for a needle I noticed someone else doing the same. He probably killed the rabbits so fair enough it was his backpack. Not finding the needle I made one using one of the rabbits, just as the fire went down a guy came and gave a needle. The other made two backpacks and dropped one. Well much I tried to do was futile, but nevertheless I took it.

Getting into adulthood the traveling times are over as female so I looked around what to do and the town was doing surprisingly well. Lots of compost, bakery working good speed, however the whole town as it seemed to be older than I first taught was a huge mess. So I decided to dedicate to clean up. Plates and to the bakery, distribute bowls between bakery, smithy and farm. Put bones and other close to useless stuff a screen or two into the wild  (like pork, bowl of carnage).

By the way this bowls of carnage, when I was young I noticed one women stabbing and cursing a girl for making them. I considered that a little harsh, but usually with stuff I don't witness myself I don't intervene. One other guy told her off as well it being harsh but she said, she is a griefer as she likely just wanted to make a pit bull to kill people... Reviewing my family on that evening from another life in another village I noticed quite some people killed by one, likely the same griefer. So I think she was right after all.

Now comes the interesting/strange part. An older guy (I think my brother but don't remember) and gave me golden leaf crown and my daughter (named "freedom") all blue dyed clothes and told her, she gonna be queen someday. Well as improv goes I decided to just play along with it (but didn't made too much about my life about it, except he was around). But that daughter really got it to her head. Funny how quickly someone gets spoiled.

At first I wondered if it's another player that just plays along with it. But well, things she did for example. Albeit clothed to the max she stood in the desert... yes just standing there. I told her to go cool, as she is clothed up like crazy. I went on cleaning the village and saw her then just standing at the pen eating up the corner bushes. Okay...

Then she asked me "mom, do I get the crown?"

"I only see you eating, make yourself useful first".

Then I saw her grabbing an adze and run off into the woods. WTF? Standing there she kept applying the adze again and again on a tree.

"What are you doing?".

"Making us wood".

"With a hammer?".

"No. this is an axe".

"Doesn't look like it, put it down. Let me see".

She dropped the adze and started running back to the town. I picked it up to bring it back. There she stood next to the berry farm (I believe it was picked) and screamed "Food!" ... ableit the bakery was just next to it and brimming with mutton pie. Before I could do anything she suddenly dropped to starved bones. Well better off that way.

We distributed the blue clothes to children around. And as I didn't see that guy anymore I played along with I gave the crown with a random child. Her mother "this is bs". "I know, its fully useless". "lol".

The brad being dealt with the next thing I did was starting a bell tower in the village center (so many people later pass by and ring it). This is btw. what I generally wonder. This town has been there for a while, somebody did build the pen with bell tower bases, but nobody bothered to put two next to each other...

As this was quickly done and cleaning up the town I ha noticed two lassos around, I decided now that I can move somewhat freely from 40-50 years until to too old to make a riding horse. As getting older I gave on my knife I found previously also while cleaning up), I built a fence, I gathered a horse, I asked the shepherd to kill me sheep to get skin... and then the search for the needle started again. Man! There have to be at least two. Well I spend my last years searching for a needle until I decided to make yet another one but I was already too late.

PS: I even considered cursing that brad as she ran off with the adze... But I didn't want to waste my token on her, while she was annoying as hell, this way she won't get more than 1 curse per hour of game play, thus it wouldn't build up.

I wondered myself why I don't see any maple tree farms. Only plant them ones, remotely near the smithy/kitchen and have a practically endless supply of branches (if you make say a 5x5 field).

I recently wanted to start one, but only got 4, since female and been constantly interrupted by children, and in a later life saw only 2 of them made it as someone else needed to water them a second time.

Learning smithing is important, but in my opinion only seldom a full time job for a whole life time. If you need some tool smith it and pick up your previous job. I'd rather put here the scavenger as an important job to gather the iron. But most towns I've didn't actually die to iron shortage.

The biggest thread to a town is a generation with noob-infection (often combined with infertility a.k.a. less players online in total). Nobody knowing how to smith is a clear symptom of that.

Not yet replaced any textures (albeit I planned to do this at some point with mosquitoes) but I remember having had this as well nevertheless...On Linux... I don't remember for sure, but I believe it was due to after building the client not starting it while sitting ("cd"'ing) in the correct directory ("current working directory"). Better use "./OneLifeApp" in the checkout root. If you using Windows or Mac. No idea.

Whole milk is a category nobody understands. I never seen it in game. Please express it in terms of berries and/or mutton pies. These are the "bathtub" and "football fields" public measurements of OHOL

I'll start with Teddy Lucky. My mother named me, but immeditaly left. At 3 points of food I started to worry and 'F' around. But only grown up dudes around. Some nice girl came and fed me a berry and told me to follow her to her mum. That mum was nice to bring me up to childhood. Albeit she stood in the cold, repeatedly picked me up and dropped down for no reason and munched berries like crazy (sigh, I don't know if I should be thankfull for letting me life, but snuggish for wasting village food like crazy).

After the usual playing around as a child (running around) to see what ressources the village has and what state it is in, I decided I need a backpack. I "borrowed" a rope lieing around, a pie and really just borrowed a basket. Made a home marker and off I went into the east of the wild. Two trips forth and back, had the skins ran another time into the wild to get a thread. Looking around for a needle, I found a "thread & needle". Oh well, dropped the thread and made the backpack! Tada. Only a short while later a little kid asked me. "Hey pal, can I have the backpack?" *Sigh*, what the eve. Nope! I just made it with lots of effort.

Then I noticed there were no more pies and I decided to bake for a while. Especially getting rid of all the skinned rabbits that were piling up. Baking went fine for a decade, others helped me. At some point I noticed someone made bread doughs and no knife around to carve it. It never hurts to have a knife also (see town security). So I decided to smith one. No iron in town? No problem, another expedition. Also some kiddo asked where there would snares. (See thats the way). I made a trip to show him my rabbit place. Bringing back a basket from some swamp and a backpack and basket full of iron (oh and a seal skin coat from a poor seal that crossed my way). The smithy had only 2 flat rocks instead of the third flat rock and while I was preparing some dude came and took one for eggs. *Sigh*. I told him he shouldn't take flat rocks from the smithy and only got the snubbish answer "child dude". *sigh*. And they were making the eggs right next to a cementary where some waster made gravestones! Okay just took two graves and restocked the smithy. Made the knife, made some bread, reduced the pen flock a little.

And I was reaching already close to 50. Not much more time for another bigger project. I ran off to get milkweed for a rope and saw at my rabbit place four rabbit skinds and two shorts and a pile of bones. Sad for that kiddo. Should have skinned the rabbits in town tough. I had just enough time to make a box for the bakery and then as I grew very old gave the knife to someone looking product/busy and the backpack to the next baby I found (there weren't any growns that looked like they needed one).

At very high age I went to the nursery to stand the last minutes warm and say bye. Noticed how 3 mums were there each only taking care of *her* children. I told them, that one should be enough to take care of all the children just to be told in my last breaths, "shut up creep". Well thats a lifes thanks.

Yeah, it's a good mechanism over all.

The major tweak I'd like to see is to be able to curse people with longer names also if you are not fully grown up yet. It makes not much sense having to live yet another life to 20 just so you can curse them. If your text stars with /curse NAME it should be doable in any age. Even a baby can give a mean cursing look albeit not being able to speak yet.

Also practically you just can't. Put the clothes down to go through a desert? Yeah and on the other side make new ones? Sure. Or you live in a village that sits in a jungle or desert? Yeah, put your clothes in a box when you get home from a voyage into your village... only to find them gone when you about to go on the next expedition...

IMO it's going to be only a matter of time until steam community pressure builds up to get steam badges.

Should be useful for learning professions when they come instead of "kill 10 players with a knife", "pick up and drop your kid every second, then munch berries, do until town is starved of food"

While in practice my guess is towns have less yum, because everybody eats mutton pies in good towns or domestic berries in bad villages... theoretically towns have a much higher potential to go crazy about yum bonus taking in all the babies.

I agree to prefer giving stuff to people who are seen to be productive, especially if town is growing and there is less stuff than players. If in the night shift when town population is receding there is nothing to stop to give everyone a pack.

At the same time, I noticed how much more productive I can be in a live time if given a backpack and a coat at childhood.

I didn't suggest that.
