why are you all playing the tutorial more than once?

i had a few frustrated situations where i figured other people were messing with my stuff. wonder if that was after this was going on and it was just disappearing lol

I think I was here yesterday and it was out of soil and no one cared about compost, fortunately I had a competent daughter. Was there another sheep pen south of the gooseberries?

sometimes Jason's emails contain your download link....I know at least one from a month or so ago did

the last game I died of yellow fever at 25 cause it said a "home" was 4.7 k away and i couldn't resist running there. No cool spots around to wait out the ever, it killed me rapidly lol. I was quite interested in what was over there, and had just found human artifacts after running through a bunch of stuff which was just spawning.

also, sorry Vespa family, I got spawned in twice with the game going crazy, one time i fully exited the game and it let me back in at age 6, with no food bar, and then i starved as I tried to eat!

one of my games I made it to 60 I Was disconnected for like 3 minutes and mom kept me alive.

i'm having the game freeze upon starting, it did it once last night and now three times today. I get born then everyone else stops and it disconnects. Some of the time when it reconnects i'm in the same game and my mom has kept me alive.

This happening to anyone else? It never happened to me before last night.

buildings are getting wiped daily?

And it's kind of a problem without a solution, or at least not one I can think of. The nature of the game is as such that you don't spend a lot of time standing around.

potentially it's useful for organizing forges or bakeries or that sort of things, but i think it's mostly just for people who enjoy building things in game.

Of course, if it gets working with much higher pop servers it's possible there are more actual wars as opposed to random mass stabbers, in which case walls etc might be more necessary.

It still amazes me how many deaths are from starvation. Though i get killed by animals a lot, cause I'm always running around the wilds gathering this and that. I've also just had some games recently with bad animal luck, you know bears everywhere etc.

oh I randomly died from network connection yesterday (with some kids i was caring for) and i never showed up on the family lines, wonder if it relates to this

yeah my various artifacts and tilled rows and whatnot were still there.

onetech doesn't show anything that makes it obvious that dead berry bushes ever despawn on their own, besides in a tile reset situation [which I didn't think was supposed to happen, with the map being so incredibly vast]

Anyway, i'm not too worried about the mystery of what happened to a few gooseberry bushes, I just wanted to determine if i leave them there for the next person to find they will generally stay around.

it amazes me how many people never travel far at all, I've been quite close to relatively high population villages and can see the rabbits spawning when I run through the plains.

For sure, and how i know this is because it isn't that GD hard to not starve in this game yet my kids are always dying in childhood (but after theyre off the tit) and i've seen many cities go into food crisis with a bunch of people standing around. I see it and run into the bush, where it's plenty easy to survive. The only time this really gets me is i've gotten back to camp near starving before assuming it would be fine.

My main problem with teaching, at least of older people, i'll often give BBs some basic advice etc, is that if i am actually playing in an established civ I usually work as a gatherer. This makes it relatively inconvenient for an inexperienced player to follow me and stay alive.

i play at new camps quite a bit, when possible, [as i said, i'm obsessed with this idea that the family lines should never die if the population spreads as it should] and i'm a caring mother, but it's often only noobs who will play with me, who see an opportunity to learn the early game stuff that you never learn if turned into a civilization.

And i used one-tech coming back to the game after months, but learning in game is part of the fun. i was _so_ proud of myself when i was first able to make fire from scratch.

another thing here though, seriously, some of us don't want to be constantly thinking about the most possible efficiency. For one thing, i'm confident that least some experienced players starve because they wait til the last minute to eat to save food. But secondly, a well running city generates a surplus pretty damn fast. This isn't a serious problem if people are contributing, but i would agree the biggest problems are probably the "elite" players insisting on building structures and making cars etc instead of the noobs.

At the same time, i still haven't figured out why i starve less the other people. When the burdock and wild onions were added I was the only person who said it made it too easy and that being an eve already wasn't very challenging (Jason was quite perplexed, that i thought being eve wasn't challenging enough). Anyway, i'm having some sort of fundamentally different experience than other players. For example, i'm rarely ever in a situation where I don't think more kids can survive in the wilds. People always say you need to limit them so you don't starve, but _I_ don't starve, all of my children do, so I don't really think lack of total food is the problem there. Just get a basket and forage and drop food off at camp. it's pretty damn easy, carrots and berries will be going in no time.

Anyway, what i've taken from all of this, is to tell my BBs i will keep them if they're noobs, cause i'd way rather they just tell me. The few times where someone told me and then learned from me all game have been magical.
