One Hour One Life Forums

This is what I do every time now unless i'm male or it's already a new camp. Even as a male I often start a second farm nearby and alert people that it's there in case of a food crisis. though i have terrible luck actually getting a female to survive and start a new line. I usually go east or west though. I try not to loot the camp in a way that hurts anyone though, I often just take a basket with a bowl and food. Maybe a snare or a fire tool depending on whats around. With just one clay bowl your ability to make camp is insanely improved.

I don't understand why more people don't do this, these family lines shouldn't be dependent on one village, it kind of seems to me that there is no good reason for family lines to end at all as there's an "infinite" world to expand to, but people never venture out. and I can't keep daughters alive.  (really once they are old enough to feed themselves and there's food around there isn't much more I can do.)

I want to add, there is a HUGE difference between infanticide of your own child due to food shortage and just wasting a civ allegedly to help it.

You killed 4 pre-menopausal females as a male, and left none surviving.

it's always been like that. In my last game there were a ton of gooseberries, and same thing.

apparently the same person spawned in the same spot as Eve twice close together and used the same name...

So I both don't know why it said distant relative and that seems like a problem with the spawn pattern.

how many people play on the 2 hour server? I haven't tried it, wouldn't have thought enough to have 10 kids, and would have figured people playing that server would know how to survive

actually i'm really confused about this tree, navigate to 8th gen and you find someone killed by "Taron West" which takes you to "distant relative" and shows a different Eve West than the Eve of my family tree? how is this possible?

There's no way the eve couldn't be my grandmother...two Eve Wests related...different woman, whole different kid names...

yeah the suicides are frustrating and i figure that is part of it. Experienced players can also help starting a solid settlement.

i generally keep every baby if it's feasible to do so but if they jump out of my arms and run around I say "be good or I wont keep you."

Sometimes it is just a noob who doesn't know better and needs to learn.

Also, this one time a girl kept intentionally standing over my son so I Couldn't pick him up and feed him, like 4 times or so, until he starved, and then she had the audacity to say F when she got hungry! I had a chance to say what was going on to the other adult there and said, "I'm not feeding you."

(the girl had said "dumb bb" or something so it was clear what was going on.)

lost 4 of my 7 kids to rattle snakes and wasn't even around many.

It's unfortunate I managed to found a second colony (my eve mother clearly spawned on an old one) and my family line had managed to take and then there was a murdered in the family

the problem with males is that most players arent very good. Males who actually contribute are very useful.

A few things:

Being killed because you're a boy is annoying, but only takes like 30 seconds of your time. I don't think there's any good reason to take revenge in a future life for infanticide. However, if you're a peaceful farm family and someone shows up and slaughters you for no reason and you spawn into their tribe...a bit different.

I'm with the previous poster that want's civilization to expand more. I always think more people should start new camps so there's actually a stable population instead of starting over a bunch of times.

I won't live in totalitarian societies, so if I'm born a girl in one of those places I run off to start a new camp (sometimes stealing some basic items that aren't scarce in a functional civ)

I almost always avoid abandoning babies, but sometimes I just can't keep them. For example, in a recent game I was the only girl, and had 7 boys and 1 girl in a lifetime. I think on the 4th boy in a row I had to tell him I couldn't keep him.

I believe the family line died out anyhow, as far as I could tell. Possible my daughter left camp. I started trapping rabbits at menopause and somehow the people at the camp had starved out with 4 raw pies and relatively close stuff to gather. Was told someone had left with water pouches and no one did anything about it.

Anyway, historically infanticide due to fear of starvation was pretty common. It's definitely within the "spirit" of the gme. What gets me about killing boys, in general, is that they are way better for some tasks, such as long-distance gathering etc When you've reached the point of having carts and a backpack long gathering trips can be very important.

I think the game should have some fertility benefit to being around a man who is at least a 1st cousin. (or possible 1st cousin one removed or farther.)

Besides dealing with the perceived males and population survival problem (which once again, if the males work they can easily produce greatly more than they consume), this would encourage family lines growing out and "marrying" with other villages.

Seriously though: if you have a problem with the culture of the village either stay and try to change it, or start your own, better civilization. Think of this like the book Watership Down. There's no good reason to intentionally destroy villages because of what happened in a previous life.

IMO that constitutes griefing, esp considering the religious human sacrifice aspect fits in with creating a civilization. (Though a lot of these people did believe in spirits coming back to cause catastrophe...)
